Re: Up2date -f boots to "grub>". Back Online!
Thanks a bunch Michael... looking at your reply sent me to: info grub realizing I had no idea how the boot loader works. I tried the commands you suggested but didn't get it right - grub.conf wasn't found even though a listed it in the /boot/grub directory. (The following are some significant lines from my current grub.conf root (hd0,0) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.20-18.7 ro root=/dev/hda1 initrd /boot/initrd-2.4.20-18.7.img) Then as you further suggested, I ran rawrite from diskette and tried a recover boot from the cd. This didn't seem to do me much good as it mounted the filesystem and a recovery partition - but I couldn't access my precious data (weeks of servlet development not backed up). The really good news is that despite my imagining days of research on grub before being able to patch the system together, on reboot the grub window menu appeared! ... and booted as normal ...Whew! what luck. So it's a full backup night tonight along with a GRUB familiarization read. I don't know what caused the problem though - nor how the boot to recovery resolved it. I'd be interested in any of your thoughts on this - including suggestions on what I should do to avoid similar experiences in the future.

Re: Up2date -f boots to "grub>" prompt!
George... I didn't get a choice of kernels on the kernel / prompt. Instead I was prompted with partition/directory names such as usr tmp var boot etc. Therefore I thought I'd take a chance on a vmlinuz file in boot. Regarding the ext2fs error, on first googling it appears to point to booting from the wrong partition or a hardware problem... I unsure of what my next step should be - concentrating on trying to salvage data (if possible) or trying to rollback to the system config before I ran up2date. Once again, any other suggestions from the list are much appreciated. /j-p. --- George Nicholls <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Sun, 2003-07-13 at 12:33, john-paul delaney > wrote: > > Thanks George...

RE: understanding tftp
Thanks Christopher... I've added the create parameter as you suggest,
however the problem persists.
In /var/log/messages I continue to get a "in.tftpd [5-digit no.,
incrementing by 1 each line] cannot bind to local socket: Address already
in use".
I've stopped iptables (presuming that means all incoming packets are
accepted). Following Nate's suggestion, I've stopped xinetd and then
netstat doesn't show any listening on tftp/69 udp. I can telnet and ftp
to the server without problems.
Anyone with suggestions on how to troubleshoot/interpret the address
already in use message? I'm at a loss at this stage.
Thanks again.

Hi John-Paul,
Well it sure looks like from the syslog that something else is on your
tftp
port, so please verify. -- or -- tftpd hasn't been configured to allow
the
creation of files in your tftphome directory.
Here's my /etc/xinetd.d/tftp file:
# default: off
# description: The tftp server serves files using the trivial file
transfer
\
# protocol. The tftp protocol is often used to boot diskless \
# workstations, download configuration files to network-aware
printers, \
# and to start the installation process for some operating systems.
service tftp
{
disable = no
socket_type = dgram
protocol= udp
wait= yes
user= root
server = /usr/sbin/in.tftpd
server_args = -s -c /tftpboot
per_source = 11
cps = 100 2
}
The -c in sever_args tells tftp to allow creation of files. security risk
--
you have been warned, so make sure your tftp port is blocked only to those
who should have access!

chmod 777 and chown nobody:nobody. The directory tftpboot is also 777,
nobody:nobody.
>From the router I try a "copy startup-config tftp", and input the ip
address at the next prompt. I then get the error:

The output of netstat -a | grep tftp is:

Re: 7.3 upgrade: Bind fails when ipchains enabled.
I'm still having difficulty with nslookup from another machine and domain transfer even though I've opened up ports UDP 53 and TCP 53. If I turn off ipchains completely, then all works ok. Anybody know what other ports / protocols should I be looking at? I'm new to ipchains. I've just enabled the medium security option using lokkit, and added input port 53 as mentioned above. Any advice would be welcome - I'd like to avoid turning off the firewall completely! thanks /j-p.

Re: 7.3 upgrade: Bind fails when ipchains enabled.

7.3 upgrade: Bind fails when ipchains enabled.
Hello List... After upgrading from rh7.0 to 7.3, I've found that Bind doesn't work for zone updates (I'm using a hidden primary nameserver which refreshes secondary.com nameservers) nor the dig command from the internet even though I had allowed incoming traffic to port 53 (I'm new to ipchains too). All outbound traffic is accepted. Running tcpdump, I kept getting an error "UDP port domain unreachable". It was only when I completely turned off ipchains (eek!) that everything cleared up and Bind worked again. Can anyone give me some clue on how to run the nameserver and the firewall on the same machine? thanks, /j-p. -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list

7.3 Upgrade, routing problem
Hello List... I've just upgraded a home server from 7.0 to 7.3. It's dual-homed, one side connecting to the inside LAN (10.11.11.1/24), the other side (192.168.1.2/24) connecting to an ADSL router on ethernet (internal address 192.168.1.1, and external public static ip). All working fine before the upgrade. The 7.3 server can ping both its cards, the external public address, and the next LAN pc (10.11.11.2) - all ok so far. A problem occurs when I try to ping anything on the 'other' side of the 7.3 server from that inside pc: The pc receives a reply from both the cards of the 7.3. server but only "request timed out" when pinging either interfaces of the router. I momentarily stopped ipchains (I'm very new to this) to see if that was causing the problem - it still occurred however. I feel I've misconfigured the networking of the upgraded server, but am not surewhich files need to be checked.

Stuck in INIT: and can't get out of it...
Hello List... I'm trying this again as I'm pretty desperate. Booting my rh 7.0 machine hangs at INIT:. Running a repair install, I can access the disks, mount partitions and see the files sysinit and rc which appear intact (with root execute attributes). I have a backup of the machine (made with taper). I feel everything is within reach but fail to understand why INIT cannot execute the files. I've searched the web on this but haven't found any definite leads on how to proceed. I'd hate to scratch the machine when it seems the data is accessible... can anyone help? The booting sequence is as follows, and just loops on the cannot execute lines: INIT: version 2.78 booting INIT: cannot execute "/etc/rc.d/init.sysinit" INIT: Entering runlevel: 3 INIT: cannot execute "/etc/rc.d/rc" INIT: Id "1" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes INIT: Id "2" respawni (similar lines up to Id "6") INIT: no more processes left in this runlevel. (The boot sequence previous to the above lines appears to be OK) Thanks for any advice... /j-p.Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo! Finance - Get real-time stock quotes
Re: boot fails: cannot execute /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit
Thanks Gentlemen... I've downloaded tomsrtbt and was able to mkdir /test mount /dev/hda1 /test I can access all files under /test/etc - e.g. vi rc opens the file rc - which appears to be uncorrupted... the same goes for the file rc.sysinit. As I said, I'm a relative newcomer and I'm stuck not knowing why INIT cannot execute the said files. With fdisk I can print the partition tables on all 3 disks, and diskspace is available on all. Would you kindly have any more advice on how to understand where the problem lies? With much appreciation, /j-p.

System time:root 4hr difference
Hello List... Typing 'date' as a normal user always shows a difference of 4 hours than when the same command is used when logged in as root. Nevertheless, for both the user and root logins, hwclock returns the same time. Even if I set the system time to that of the hardware clock, there's always this divergence of 4 hours (whether I set it as root, or su'ing from the user account and typing /sbin/hwclock --hctosys) I'm presuming some time-difference regional setting problem, but both accounts use CEST time. I've probably messed up some setting trying to understand how the clock works... I'd really appreciate it if someone could help me out to get root and the users back in sync.

Vi: Replace Word sequence
Newb question... Having previously yanked a word, I now want to replace the word at the cursor with the one in memory. What's the best way to do this substitution? thanks /j-p. --- JUSTATEST Art Online www.justatest.com ___ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
taper: test retore file is 0 K
Hello List... I'm trying out taper (backup prog) 6.9 on RH7.0. I did an initial full backup on two 90m dat and then a test restore of my netscape bookmarks.html file (renamed original file). The program seemed happy enough with finding the file on tape 2, recoginized the correct file size but restored a zero-sized file having the name bookmarks.html -rS--T are the attributes of the 0K file. Restore was performed by root. Can anyone give me some lead on where I'm going wrong? thanks /j-p. - JUSTATEST Art Online. www.justatest.com ___ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
Re: Howto manually trigger fsck
Yes! That was the question to show me what an idiot I am... I had moved the files mentioned - instead of to a newly partitioned disk /dev/hdc3, to a directory (created by mistake) on the root called hd3. Sorry to have wasted your time gentlemen - but you saved me from making more fatal mistakes while trying to figure this out, and I learned some. I should stick to painting. thanks again /j-p.

Re: Howto manually trigger fsck
Thanks, I appreciate your help... I tried the shutdown being the safer (read easier) of the two, the filesystem checked out ok. Therefore I'm left with a full root directory but not knowing what's occupying all that space. I had moved off some directories but still there's no improvement (mc shows 14Mb free space, df shows 0% availability) Can anyone suggest a means of listing what's utilizing the space within the "/" directory? BTW, the rhinstall-stage2.img file is the only one left on "/" - what is it? (the file command says it's the ext2 filesystem) thanks again /j-p.

Howto manually trigger fsck
Hello List... fsck /dev/hda1 output warns: "Running e2fsck on a mounted filesystem may cause SEVERE filesystem damage.." Things are bad enough as it is, so I abort the command. However I would like to trigger a manual filesystem check... how can I do so? thanks /j-p.

"/" ( /dev/hda1 ) Out of diskspace...help!
Hello List... df -h shows that my /dev/hda1 has 0 space availability: Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/hda1 484M 485M 0 100% / However there's only one file left on the root directory (rhinstall-stage2.img: 106MB). I had moved any others off to another partition (though the sum of their size was only 200Mb) I don't understand what's filling up the space? And how do I free it up?

Re: newbie: scsi tapedrive

newbie: scsi tapedrive
Hello List... Trouble-free installation of: 2940 controller and HP35470A tapedrive on P133 [all hand-me-downs]. Both were recognized by the hardware and (already-installed) RH7.0 on next bootup.
