RE: RedHat 9 and Hyperthread CPUs

2003-08-29 Thread Clement
Hi,

I cannot get hyperthread to work on a new kernel.  RH9 installs fine and,
using the 2.4.20-8smp kernel, hyperthread worked.  I can see the 2 cpus in
/proc/cpuinfo.

However, after compiling a new kernel, v2.4.22, with SMP support and for P4
CPU, only 1 cpu is found in /proc/cpuinfo.  Do you know what I have missed?

The hardware is Intel S875WP-1 motherboard.  HT is enabled on it.  CPU is a
P4-2.4c 800MHz front side bus with HT support.  You help is much
appreciated.

Regards,
Clement

RE: Problem with SATA disk on Intel D865GBFL M/B

2003-06-30 Thread Clement
Hi Ed,

Thank you very much for your reply.  However, the D865GBFL does
not have the RAID feature!

I called up Intel.  And they have no answer either.  Sad :(

Problem with SATA disk on Intel D865GBFL M/B

2003-06-29 Thread Clement
Hi Guys,

Do you know how to connect a Seagate SATA disk to an Intel
D865GBFL motherboard under RH9?

When installing RH9 with the SATA disk only, RH9 reported no
hard disk.

I then installed RH9 on a PATA disk, it then sees the SATA disk
but hanged right there.

 I upgraded the kernel to 2.4.21 and the situation remains the
same. Can you help?

Clement

Automatic power down the machine

In making a customer 2.4.1 dkernel, do you know which option(s) that I
need to enable to allow automatic power down the machine?

Before I can do that by enable the Advanced Power Management.  But it
fails this time.  The stock 2.2.16 came with RH 7 works fine.

Re: Email Filters with imapd

Thank you very much to everyone who has help/tried to help.

The real answer is an un-documented program - dmail that comes with the
UW-Imapd distribution.  Procmail alone is not the answer.  It is not
compatible with the imap message files.  At least that was what someone
suggests.  dmail is the email deliver agent for UW-Imapd.

Email Filters with imapd

2001-01-19 Thread Clement

Imapd stores emails and gives me the mobility to handle emails from
difference computers.

To provide the greatest mobility, however, I need a centralised email
filter facility.  Do you know if there is any with the imapd?  The
situation is, if I connect to the imapd from someone else's computer
without my messages filters, emails like those from this list will be
all jammed in the inbox.  It will be a nightmare to separate the emails.

In Netscape, the message filters has a greyed button named 'Filters on
Server'.  If that is another option, do you know how can I store the
filters on the server?

Your help will be very helpful.  Thank you very much.

Clement

'unresolved ref:  memcpy'

Do you know how to fix it?  

My platform is Intel Celeron 667/128MB/RH7.0/Kernel 2.2.18.  The machine
works flawlessly in all other areas.

Alternatively, do you know if there is any stock kernel rpms with
reiserfs support?

Your help is much appreciated.

Re: Hardware raid recommendation.

2000-01-27 Thread Clement

Thank you very much for your recommendation.  I get the low cost Mylex
AcceleRAID 150.  It comes with all the drivers for OS/Win/NT/NW but not
Linux althought its web pages says Linux 2.2 is support.  

Do you know where to get the driver for Linux?

Create a RAID

2000-01-27 Thread Clement

Hi,

Can you give hints or instructions to create a RAID?  I have 2 identical
SCSI drives and would like them to mirror each other, ie a RAID-1
array.  Thank you very much.

Regards

Clement

Adaptec RAID controller AAA-131

2000-01-24 Thread Clement

Has anyone used this RAID controller?

I connected 2 identical HD to the controller.  Then used Adaptec's
config utility to create a RAID-1 disk mirror (one mirror the other)
with no trouble.  But when installing RH-6.1, I still see 2 HDs instead
of 1.   Never mind, I thought, so I continued to install RH on the first
one, expect to see miracle.  Unfortunately, it is not there.  When
rebooted, the machine hanged after identifying the 2 HDs.

Can you give me some suggestions?

Regards

Clement

Re: GCC not working on 6x86

1999-12-04 Thread Clement

Thank you very much to all who have replied.  Following your
recommendations, the problem is found to be one with the memory. 
Interesting though, it is fixed by re-fitting the SIMM modules.   

To Hidong, the Cyrix chip is considered by Linux as a i586 chip. 
6x86-PR166+ is the name that Cyrix gives that chip.

GCC not working on 6x86

1999-12-02 Thread Clement

Hi

When compiling package on a 6x86-PR166+ using gcc from egcs-1.1.2-24, I
got this error message:

gcc  -g -O2 -I./../Include -I.. -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -c ./parsermodule.c
gcc: Internal compiler error: program cc1 got fatal signal 11

It happens in a few packages, python, openssl, etc.  It works fine on
the PPro or P-II machines.  Do you if there is fix somewhere?

Thank you very much.

Regards

Clement

Re: linuxconf core dumps

1999-12-02 Thread Clement

You are genius.  Linuxconf failed when it open a file "included" in the
named.conf.  It looks like linuxconf simply do not know how to take care
of that.

linuxconf core dumps

1999-11-29 Thread Clement

Hi,

In preparing a new Redhat 6.1 machine, the linuxconf worked well in the
first place.  However, after installing other applications, apache,
samba, etc, the linuxconf is now giving me core dumps only!  Removing
and re-installing linuxconf will only give me the first info screen,
then core dumped again.  Do you know how to fix this?  Here are the
details:

cpu PPro 200
memory  64MB
linuxconf   linuxconf-1.16r3.2-2.i386.rpm
initscripts-4.68-1.i386.rpm

6.1 Problems

1999-11-23 Thread Clement

Please give me a hand.

On 6.1, when I install ssh-1.2.26, I get an error --- missiong libz.so. 
Do you know which package contains that?  I used the "server"
installation.  

I know ssh-1.2.27 is out but forget which site has it.  Can you tell me?

The IP alias does not work.  Apparently it is this script that is not
working.
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup-aliases
Do you know if there is an update somewhere?

Do you know how to install the ORB removable E-IDE drive?  

Thank you very much.

Regards,
Clement

XNTP3 problem

1999-11-07 Thread Clement

Hi everyone,

I have a problem in using xntp3 daemon v3-5.93.  The daemon updates the
clock accurately.  But when it serves time to other clients, some,
mostly Linux, would work.  Others, like Dimension 4 would report 

"The NTP message received is invalid! ..."

Can you give me a hand?

Regards

Clement
