hello all ,
well i want to know if any one has configure the same
( moxa C502-ISA/35 dual Sync Board) on Rh6.2 kernel
2.2.14-5 when i install drivers of that which are
downloaded from site(www.moxa.com.tw) they get install
with out any
errors but when i do
#insmod mxc502
#insmod sysncppp

Can you elaborate on this a little more? Very interesting... Why not
just have a closed port?

Like the other person just said, the kernel wants to pass execution to
init, it cant mount the file-system so it cant start init. Your problem,
most likely, is your file-system driver is not compiled into the kernel
correctly.

RE: Samba Help !!! Please !!!

[cajun]

Hi all,

Just got back in town, I have been gone all week, and I just wanted to 
say thanks to Ben and Fred for the info:  

THANKS!

Oh and Jason, no I am not preping for the RHCE, I wish I was.  Right now 
I just don't have the time.  But what I am doing is trying to get back 
into using Linux.  I use to run a couple of Linux servers for a small 
consulting firm about 6 years ago and I was just learning it back then. 
Then my job shifted and I got out of Linux and have not touched it in 6 
years.  Right now I just want to make sure that what I am doing is right 
and that I am not setting up an unsecure box for someone else to jump on 
and use.

Anyways, I am trying to setup Samba so my windoze pc's can get access to 
the internet and also so everyone can share files and printers without 
any hassels.  Plus I did remove what I had setup in my iptables before I 
left, it just did not look secure to me so I did not leave it in place.

I have used up enough banwidth with my rattleing on, just wanted to say 
thanks.

Again Thanks!!!

Lee Perez

Well, those are Windoze files, anyway, so how would they do you any
good for Linux?

I have a RH8 box here, but it doesn't have a modem in it. However,
the internet setup wizard doesn't REQUIRE you to choose a country.
You should just ignore the country list and enter the appropriate
ISP settings.

Sounds like a plain generic external serial modem, so they're pretty
much all the same.

Well, first thing is figure out which serial port it's connected to.
if it's on (what windoze calls) COM1, that's /dev/ttyS0 for Linux. Knowing
that, do this:

ln -s /dev/ttyS0 /dev/modem

and of course if it's COM2, do this instead:

ln -s /dev/ttyS1 /dev/modem

having done that, you should be able to go click on the internet
setup button and follow the directions, using /dev/modem as the 
serial port.

Dumb question -- not seeing memory -- tried lilo

[Lynne Seamans]

Sorry, but I'm really kind of inexperienced in this and am admittedly
struggling to catch up.

Have RedHat 6.2 installed, kernel is 2.4.20

Intell machine, 4 gigs ram.  "free" command only sees 1.  Well, 904672 to be
exact.

Tried the "append=mem=4096M" in lilo.conf.  Made sure it was for the default
instance, reran /sbin/lilo

Still same.  I think I need highmem or some such in kernel, but I have no
idea where I got that idea, or how the heck I would accomplish such a feet.

Is that vaguely true?  Is it easy enough to keep the exact same kernel
configuration options and only change one?  I have the source from when I
installed 2.4.20 (which I needed instead of what came in the box).

THANKS so much for any pointers, tips, etc.

Re: Prefered backup method?

[Gordon Messmer]

Kent Borg wrote:
Let me give and example.  Let's say I have:

 - initial backup
 - incremental backup 1
 - incremental backup 2
 - incremental backup 3

These backups share common files via hard links.  How much space does
backup 2 take?  Or, put another way, how much space will I recover if
I delete backup 2?
Need a little more information to be sure, but you should be able to 
figure it out using the number of links each of the files has.  (I 
missed the early posts, but I assume the initial backup is a copy of 
your disk, and not just hard links to those files)

Further assuming that incremental 3 is the difference of the initial, 
and not the previous incremental, you'd use this to find the files that 
are unique to that backup:

find /backup-root/incr3 -type f -links 1

And you might futher extend that to give you a byte count of the files:

find /backup-root/incr3 -type f -links 1 -printf '%s\n' | \
awk 'BEGIN { EST=0 }
   { EST=EST + $1 }
 END   { print EST }'
If, however, you're doing incremental backups against the previous 
incremental, it's going to be more difficult to find out exactly what 
you want to know.  It can be done, but I'd need more details to tell you 
how.

Do you mean the driver for the 2400A is now in the
main line kernel or the driver for the 1200A?

Yeah.. I was able to have both drives detected under
Linux as JBODs, but I installed the Linux system using
the driver disk for the AMD cpu's and a redhat 8
re-install. Worked fine.

HPT also have Raid Management software which I also
downloaded and installed. This also worked fine and
was an exact copy of the raid management software
available for windows allowing you to see the raid
sets, duplicate them and so on. Quite nice.

Didn't mean to, just tried to understand their
decision behind it since I was able to get both the
driver and the Raid management software from HPT and
get it to work, while Adaptec made no mention of HPT
when asking their support, they just said it's not
supported.

Yeah true, but they could have said "Michael, you can
try generic HPT drivers but these are not supported by
Adaptec".

I agree, all my SCSI controllers are Adaptec.

Not that I know of. I hadn't even heard of dhclient until I looked at
the etc/resolv.conf file. How does it work and is there a way to test
it?

Compile distribution options

[Josep M.]

Hello.

I´m trying of compile my distribution as maximum optimized as possible,for a 
Pentium-II 
machine, or replace the most relevant packages with these parameters:

-O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -fno-strict-aliasing -fno-common -pipe 
-mpreferred-stack-boundary=2 -march=i686 

If someone believe there is more good parameters for optimize speed any suggestion 
will be 
appreciated,I prefer speed in the machine,if use a little more of ram is not a problem.

Re: How to use USB key drive with Red Hat 9

[Lorenzo Prince]

Vinny Valdez staggered into view and mumbled:

It may also be necessary to mount the drive as /dev/sda rather than /dev/sda1.  My 
laptop recognizes my USB floppy as 
/dev/sda.  If I try to mount /dev/sda1 I get a similar error about not knowing the 
filesystem even though the drive 
still spins as if it is on /dev/sda1.  HTH.

You may need to point at the path to the /etc/php.ini file
[the " -c/etc " part], and ensure that you are pointing to the
correct binary.  Check the '#!'  line in the following
example.

As to interacting with a MySQL database, again I use a stock
Red Hat install without the need for a recompile without
problems.  Here is a sample script, which cleans out some "'"
characters, and marks improper (US)  phone numbers as 'dnc' --

Re: SATA and RH 9 Woes

[M Daniel R M]

The only thing I can say about it it's that I've installed the RH9
distro into a Gigabyte 8INXP motherboard with an 120GB S-ATA HD too, but
had no problems. That was about 2 or 3 months ago. The first kernel
included on it was 2.4.20-8; booting up I could always see a line that
said something about Serial ATA was OK..., recognized or so on...
I've had another problems (I'm very very newbie in Linux), but nothing
related with your comment. However, I couldn't install the SuSE Linux
8.2 and I wasn't able to understand why one distro YES and another NO if
the kernels were the same or very very similar, and these two distros
were built and launched about at the same time. Maybe SuSe forgot to
include a SATA support module? It was disappointing, but I've aswell
forgotten that point...
I only can say you for check your BIOS settings, especially all those
related with SATA or RAID issues.
I hope someone can help better,
Good luck.

How are your tying to make it work??  What are you using to try to connect? 
KPPP??  wvdial  If KPPP you just need to go to set up and it should be
quite easy from there.  Under device, you can try /dev/modem, or more likely
/dev/ttyS1.  then just fill in the required info for your ISP, phone #, login,

i'm not gonna do that.

now.. i used the most recent source on php.net 4.3.3 and just rebuild php
the phpinfo() sais the php version is 4.3.3 but with /usr/local/bin/php -v
i still get this:

PHP 4.3.0 (cli) (built: Apr  5 2003 06:38:17)
Copyright (c) 1997-2002 The PHP Group
Zend Engine v1.3.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2002 Zend Technologies

how do i find the 4.3.3 binary? the /usr/local/bin/php file is actually
only passing the script to sed so i wonder if php is to blame at all
here?!?

If this is just a guess, then don't try this.

Whenever someone suggests --nodeps, he should give an explanation as
why it would be safe to ignore the package dependencies. 

And whenever someone suggests --force, he should give an even better
explanation, such as why it is necessary and whether the installed

Fibre, using them to connect 2 linux boxes to some external shared

 The QLogic cards seem fairly popular, and they are the only ones I've

The bind website is here http://www.isc.org/products/BIND/ but I would
do a search of google.  Although, some think that BIND is hard to
configure and unsecure... I thought it was fairly easy and it has been
secure for our company.  Just recently, we started name serving all of
our domains names (they were name served by our registrar) and the setup
was so easy that I was convinced I had it wrong.  Worked like a charm. 
Is in rpms.  Also I just tried to use redhat-config-bind and setup a
slave (backup) name server with it so quickly it was amazing.  The
process litterally went ly this:  Installed RPM, ran redhat-config-bind,
configured my slave (hit a couple of buttons, and entered an ip to the
master), saved it, exited redhat-config-bind.  And my slave was
working.  Next time I might try the redhat-config-bind to admin my
current master... just haven't yet.  Also chrooting named is fairly
easy.  HTH 

There is also djb-dns and there website is here:
http://cr.yp.to/djbdns.html if you need (or have time to compare).  I
installed it once but ultimately stuck with BIND...  not sure why as it
has been awhile.

RE: Adaptec ATA RAID 1200A under Linux

Yeah, I actually had a problem with this as well on a remote system that
I manage running RedHat Linux 9 w/ 2.4.20 kernel (RPM). When I tried to
compile a custom kernel, it bailed out of "make install" complaining
about no driver being available for 3w-. How can I compile this new
driver into my kernel so it will work? 

If I can't do it, then how else can I modularly install grsecurity into
the existing kernel? Is it possible?

  They claim to support 2400A because they wrote an open source linux 
driver for it.  The driver is now in the main line linux kernel.  Thus 
it will just work in future releases of any distro.  This is what good 
linux support means!!!  Not Promise says "Sure I'll release a binary 
driver, and maybe update every years or so."   Highpoint is at least 
much better about providing partial source, and the ability to use their

cards in a non raided state.

  My contacts with Adaptec lead me to the following conclusions.  
Adaptec wisely views binary drivers as unmaintainable under linux.  As 
they can't  give you good support they choose not to do so at all.   
This is true of all of their controllers that do driver based raid.  
Such controllers are only supported as in jbod mode under linux.   
Adapter is quick to point out linux has great software raid support. 

   Don't bad mouth Adaptec for it's linux support.  They said it didn't 
work under linux.  You were the one that disagreed with them. They are 
one of the best controller card vendors in terms of linux support.  They

don't make promise they can't, or won't keep.  Keep in mind they 
couldn't release the driver source for this card even if they wanted 
to.  They could have easily done what Highpoint and Promise do, but they

have higher support standards.

   Promise's linux support is incredibly bad they claim they support 
Linux, but they really only support a handful of kernels.  They don't 
provide drivers for newer releases of Red Hat in timely manner.  
Generally you are stuck with a release 6 to 12 months old.  Which has 
secuirity holes, and bugs. Heaven  help promise's linux customers when 
Promise stops support the fasttrak line.

  No you can't simply use a module compiled for one kernel on another 
kernel.   It might work, not work at all, or gradually corrupt your 
data.  In theory you can find the partial source driver below.  I don't 
remember which chip the adaptec card uses, and can't check a

I found this page
http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux/RHL-9-Manual/custom-guide/ch-so
ftware-raid.html which you'd think would be the perfect set of
instructions. BUT IT'S NOT!!
 

  The raid instruction are a little vague.

I'm trying to follow Samuel's original instructions:

-=-=-=-
  Use software raid 5 on each disk:
raid 1 /boot  (~100M) Raid 1 as you can't boot off of raid 5!!!
raid 5 swap
raid 5 /  (~2G)
raid 5 /var (Most of the rest of your space, for your logs and /var/www)
-=-=-=-
(Following the steps in the above document) Step 5 says "For Allowable
Drives, select the drive(s) on which RAID will be created. If you have
multiple drives, all drives will be selected here and you must deselect
those drives which will not have the RAID array on them."
But if I select more than one drive I get the message "Partitions of
type 'software RAID' must be constrained to a single drive. This is done
by selecting the drive in the 'Allowable Drives' checklist."
Ok, So what's the deal with that? How can you have RAID if you're forced
to only use one disk? I don't get it!!
 

 You need to create a partition that will be a part of the raid array 
on each disk.  So the followiing is what I do:

Create a partition of type raid on disk 1 ~100M via the new partition button
Create a raid partition of type raid on disk 2 ~100M via the new 
partition button
Create a raid partition of type raid on disk 3 ~100M via the new 
partition button
Create the raid array  using the above 3 disks using the raid buton
Repeat for all arrays

 I've always thought Red Hat's method was a little strange;-)  Why not 
let me create multiple partitions on each disk in one stoke.

AAHH!!

Chris.

Earlier this month, I copied a RH72/lilo disk using ghost - no problem, 
except you must use fdisk to manually create the partitions on new disk 
before using Ghost 2003.  After you copy disk with ghost, boot from CDROM, 
run "linux rescue", mount your new file system.  If /etc/fstab uses labels, 
then reinit those using "e2label"; otherwise check/change the disk names 
(they might have changed).  Then update/run lilo, initialize swap 
partition, and reboot to your new disk.

Re: Adaptec ATA RAID 1200A under Linux

[Samuel Flory]

Michael Mansour wrote:

Hi,

I've just purchased a new AMD Ahtlon system, and got
with it an Adaptec ATA RAID 1200A as it seemed to do
what I wanted.
Unfortunately, this card is not "officially" supported
by Adaptec, after emailing their support they only
tell me "unfortunately it's not supported under
Linux", yet they have all the Windows drivers. They
told me the 2400A card (which is many times more
expensive and has more features than what I need), is
supported under Linux and they provide the drivers for
it.
 

 They claim to support 2400A because they wrote an open source linux 
driver for it.  The driver is now in the main line linux kernel.  Thus 
it will just work in future releases of any distro.  This is what good 
linux support means!!!  Not Promise says "Sure I'll release a binary 
driver, and maybe update every years or so."   Highpoint is at least 
much better about providing partial source, and the ability to use their 
cards in a non raided state.

Having googled for information on this card and Linux,
I've discovered that the card can be used using the
HPT370 (HighPoint Technology) driver, since Adaptec
use that chipset on their card. I obtained the driver
from:
http://www.highpoint-tech.com/r100r_down.htm

for Red Hat 8.0 and it works fine.

I'm wondering why Adaptec don't "officially" supply
this driver themselves??? and don't provide support
for the card under Linux since it works perfectly
well. All I need is mirroring facility on the IDE
drives, so that's all I wanted in the card. The more
expensive 2400A (which Adaptec officially support
under Linux) has all the bells and whistles, has a
processor on board and supports RAID 5, but I don't
need those features so don't need that card.
If it wasn't for the HPT driver, I would have got rid
of the Adaptec and looked at something else, maybe a
Fastrack 100 or similar, whatever is supported under
Linux. I don't see the reasoning behind Adaptecs
decision not to support the 1200A under Linux.
 

 My contacts with Adaptec lead me to the following conclusions.  
Adaptec wisely views binary drivers as unmaintainable under linux.  As 
they can't  give you good support they choose not to do so at all.   
This is true of all of their controllers that do driver based raid.  
Such controllers are only supported as in jbod mode under linux.   
Adapter is quick to point out linux has great software raid support. 

  Don't bad mouth Adaptec for it's linux support.  They said it didn't 
work under linux.  You were the one that disagreed with them. They are 
one of the best controller card vendors in terms of linux support.  They 
don't make promise they can't, or won't keep.  Keep in mind they 
couldn't release the driver source for this card even if they wanted 
to.  They could have easily done what Highpoint and Promise do, but they 
have higher support standards.

  Promise's linux support is incredibly bad they claim they support 
Linux, but they really only support a handful of kernels.  They don't 
provide drivers for newer releases of Red Hat in timely manner.  
Generally you are stuck with a release 6 to 12 months old.  Which has 
secuirity holes, and bugs. Heaven  help promise's linux customers when 
Promise stops support the fasttrak line. 

> Anyway, if anyone has experience with this card I do

have one query. I'd like to upgrade my kernel from
2.4.18-14smp which I have on the fresh RH8 install
(installing the HPT driver upon installation via the
driver disk), to the newest 2.4.20-20.8smp, but HPT
have only got a module for 2.4.20-8smp on their driver
disk.
Can I use this module on the newer 2.4.20-20.8smp by
just copying the module into the kernel tree for
2.4.20-20.8smp ?
 

 No you can't simply use a module compiled for one kernel on another 
kernel.   It might work, not work at all, or gradually corrupt your 
data.  In theory you can find the partial source driver below.  I don't 
remember which chip the adaptec card uses, and can't check any more.  (I 
gave the eval cards my adptec rep gave me back.)

http://www.highpoint-tech.com/372drivers_down.htm
http://www.highpoint-tech.com/371drivers_down.htm
http://www.highpoint-tech.com/374drivers_down.htm
If not, how else can I upgrade the kernel to
2.4.20-20.8smp while still using the HPT module /
driver. Note that I have my RAID 1 mirror as the boot
drive for Linux.
 

 You best bet going forward is to stop using the highpoint binary 
driver!!!  This problem is going to come up over and over.  You got 2 
choices.

#1)  Use the card in jbod mode and use the linux software raid driver.  
This would reqire a complete reinstall, but will just work for release 
after release of any linux distro, or kernel.
#2)  Try using the ataraid driver.  Which is fairly complex and not 
support in the 2.6 kernel yet.

No, I haven't tried it... But I don't think this could be a problem, except in 
case of some weird bug somewhere (BIOS or kernel).

Athlons are different from Pentiums: you can mix up every stepping, the only

Creating Driver Disk for Kickstart

[Mark R.]

Hello,

We just recieved a 35 machines with Asus P4P800 motherboards which have
an onboard 3com gigabit NICs - 3com Gigabit LOM (3C940). However, the
Redhat 9.0 boot CD-ROM doesn't recognize the NIC and we cannot kickstart
the machine. ASUS has provided a linux driver for the card, but it is
just the raw driver.

Does anyone have any instructions on how to make a driver disk for Redhat
which the kickstart will accept?

Sincerely,

Rhugga, 
 
I've used this method with surprising success on linux and windows 
system alike. For example, I have a couple of desktop systems that are 
clones of my dual-OS (using grub) laptop.

Boot up both systems with the bootnet.img and use "linux rescue" at the 
boot  prompt. (You'll need a network source for the redhat software)

Proceed to a shell prompt on both systems

On the destination (new disk you are creating) type:
"nc -l -p  | dd of=/dev/hdx"
 
On the source (system you wish to duplicate) type:
 "dd if=/dev/hdx | nc  "

That's it in a nutshell but you can find more info by doing a google 
search  for the terms "clone nc dd"

Yes, and several for Unix.  But ACLs don't fill the same bill--they're
not pervasive, even in Unix implementations that are much more mature
than the much newer instantiation in Linux.  They still don't handle
the security need to require co-access; they're not applied by default;
they're not optimized for overhead; etc., etc.

What do you mean? It would compile the same if you give it the same configure

way.

No it does not have to be an RPM. Who said that it has?

What install script are you talking about? If you try to compile from source, 
all you have to do is
$> cd 
$> ./configure 
$> make
$> make install

I've never heard of any install script. If you meant the configure script, you 
have to give it the correct options so that it compiles with the correct 
stuff.

Ghosting/Cloning Red Hat 9 Systems

[Rhugga]

Just a couple of questions.

1) How can I mirror a disk using dd??? It has been years since I did 
since and I have only done it on Solaris.

2) Has any tried using ghost to clone systems using Grub as the boot 
loader? I seem to remember ghosting would never work right with lilo, 
but I never tried it using grub.

Thanks for any info,

ACLs in Linux aren't great - they're not utilized in every tool equally
like they are in VMS.  ACLs also aren't the only answer to permissions.
You can set up a VMS account that requires two passwords before you're
let in - one person usually doesn't have both passwords - you could
probably implement this in PAM somehow, but it's not standard out of the
box like it is in VMS (and has been for 20 years).

Each OS has its strengths, and when it comes to access controls, VMS wins
hands down.  That said, I manage more Linux systems than I do VMS
systems and I run Linux at home, not VMS.

p.s. I still have the Raxco poster in my office with the title "How to
tell if you're a VMS bigot".

But how to do normal restart of named ?

Since you've never used BIND, I'd suggest using djb-dns.  It's very
secure, and your learning curve shouldn't be any worse than using BIND.

Re: hp laserjet 1200 series

[Mark Neidorff]

Patrick,

Could you give me a little more information.  I have a LJ1300 which is 
also postscript capable.  I have it set up as a postscript printer under 
lprng (redhat 7.3 wouldn't allow me to use the latest cups +foomatic and 
friends).  Depending on the documnet, I can print one page OK, but then 
the second page and beyond get garbled.

Thanks,

Mark

Your IT security folks were wise.  The buffer overrun problem that is
common in Unix exploits simply does not exist in VMS.  I've been
managing VMS systems for 20 years and if I can remember correctly, there
were exactly 2 cases where DEC was forced to send out mandatory update
CDs to fix major security holes. Solaris, HP-UX, and Linux all
experience frequent major vulnerabilities that are usually quickly
patched (at least Linux is - HP and Solaris are *much* slower).

VMS has access control lists done right.  Linux, HP-UX, and Solaris all
have pretty limited implementations.  VMS has persona system services
and multiple privilege levels.  The other 3 have exactly 2 privilege
levels - either you're root or you're not.  VMS has access controls on
most objects - batch and print queues, devices, etc.  Unix doesn't.  In
many ways, NT/2k/XP has a better security implementation than Unix
(especially file access), although in other ways it's much worse (too
much stuff runs in a fully privileged mode and file protections are not
utilized the way it should be in order to maintain compability with
legacy applications).

That doesn't mean you can't run secure production environments on Unix -
if I told you that I'd obviously be bs'ing since a lot of people do it.
It's just that VMS makes it a lot easier.

If I installed a VMS system from its base distribution and put it naked
on the Internet, it would not be hacked - either soon or after many
months even if didn't apply any updates.  Most Unix distributions and
Windows will be hacked - either immediately after the system is probed
or within days afterwards as vulnerabilities are found unless patches
are continually applied.

To a very large extent, the security of the system is dependent on the
skills of the administrator.  You can screw up VMS - I've seen a case
where a developer wrote an application that accepted an arbitrary
command from an arbitrary host and executed it in a fully privileged
context without any sort of validation whatsoever.  You can screw up any
other kind of system the same way.  Good sysadmins that are able to
control their environments properly won't let that happen (some
sysadmins have the control but not the skills, and some have the skills
but not the control).  Similarly, if you don't patch your systems (it
usually doesn't matter what the OS is), you are asking for trouble.

The memory cells are beginning to fade but I think that this was a 
problem related to a specific kernel distribution.  Have you updated 
your kernel to the latest available?

I don't remember saying it was greater, I want to know how big one
backup is.

Let me give and example.  Let's say I have:

 - initial backup
 - incremental backup 1
 - incremental backup 2
 - incremental backup 3
 - incremental backup 4

These backups share common files via hard links.  How much space does
backup 2 take?  Or, put another way, how much space will I recover if
I delete backup 2?

You obviously know this, but I think it's necessary to mention that there
is at least one ACL system for Linux.

UNIX and Linux may work alike, but the development models are different
enough that the security issues cannot be assumed to be the same.

I have recently begun to use the database access features of
OpenOffice.org. It makes a fair frontend to a network database server but
you definitely need to know SQL to get the most from it. You should also
know the OOo Basic scripting language if you want to build an app.

For a single-user desktop database, OOo can create and manage DBF files
internally. I still don't see it as being as capable as Access, but then
I've only begun to explore it.

 When googling for this I find references that at least for Pentium's the 
stepping of cpu's in dual processor boards must be identical in most cases. 
Guess that might be your problem indeed.

 I have no idea what causes this, but I am quite possitive this should be 
filed at https://bugzilla.redhat.com .

 Have you tried swapping the cpu's? Not sure if the 2 cpu's should be 
identical. See the MB docs for that.

Leonard.

It's going to take years to get this settled, so don't make any "rash"
choices until it's actually settled - else you'll be the one "SCO'ed" -
elsewise known as "screwed"...

Don't let anyone "scare tactic" you into giving up money or doing
something otherwise. Wait for the actual "black and white" settlement to
be over and done with.

Re: USB Mouse problems

FWIW, I have a "Dell by Microsoft" IntelliMouse 1.3 wheel mouse on both
a generic desktop and a Dell Lattitude notebook. The wheel works fine on
both.

My /etc/X11/XF86Config under RH9 contains exactly what you posted with

Look at the top of the automail script/program and verify
whether "sh" is the right interpreter. You could also make
automail executable and drop "sh" from the crontab line.

Random CPU initialization on Athlon SMP

[niteowl]

Hello all.
I have a very strange problem on my dual Athlon MP system since CPU 
initialization seems to be performed in a random way. In about 50% of 
bootstraps the kernel manages to correctly enable the second CPU, in the 
other 50% not. In the former case the system is rock solid, in the latter the 
system uses only one CPU and is very unstable.

My system is made up of:
2 Athlon MPs 2200 (different steppings, 0 and 1)
Gigabyte GA-7DPXDW-P motherboard (AMD760MPX chipset)
512 MiB PC2100 DDR ECC DIMM (by Corsair)

The O.S. is a "vanilla" RedHat 9 with the latest Athlon SMP kernel.

Attached to this email are 2 dmesg, referring on the 2 cases.

Thanks for your help.

Adaptec ATA RAID 1200A under Linux

[Michael Mansour]

Hi,

I've just purchased a new AMD Ahtlon system, and got
with it an Adaptec ATA RAID 1200A as it seemed to do
what I wanted.

Unfortunately, this card is not "officially" supported
by Adaptec, after emailing their support they only
tell me "unfortunately it's not supported under
Linux", yet they have all the Windows drivers. They
told me the 2400A card (which is many times more
expensive and has more features than what I need), is
supported under Linux and they provide the drivers for
it.

Having googled for information on this card and Linux,
I've discovered that the card can be used using the
HPT370 (HighPoint Technology) driver, since Adaptec
use that chipset on their card. I obtained the driver
from:

http://www.highpoint-tech.com/r100r_down.htm

for Red Hat 8.0 and it works fine.

I'm wondering why Adaptec don't "officially" supply
this driver themselves??? and don't provide support
for the card under Linux since it works perfectly
well. All I need is mirroring facility on the IDE
drives, so that's all I wanted in the card. The more
expensive 2400A (which Adaptec officially support
under Linux) has all the bells and whistles, has a
processor on board and supports RAID 5, but I don't
need those features so don't need that card.

If it wasn't for the HPT driver, I would have got rid
of the Adaptec and looked at something else, maybe a
Fastrack 100 or similar, whatever is supported under
Linux. I don't see the reasoning behind Adaptecs
decision not to support the 1200A under Linux.

Anyway, if anyone has experience with this card I do
have one query. I'd like to upgrade my kernel from
2.4.18-14smp which I have on the fresh RH8 install
(installing the HPT driver upon installation via the
driver disk), to the newest 2.4.20-20.8smp, but HPT
have only got a module for 2.4.20-8smp on their driver
disk.

Can I use this module on the newer 2.4.20-20.8smp by
just copying the module into the kernel tree for
2.4.20-20.8smp ?

If not, how else can I upgrade the kernel to
2.4.20-20.8smp while still using the HPT module /
driver. Note that I have my RAID 1 mirror as the boot
drive for Linux.

Thanks.

Michael.
