Unless something with raidtools has drastically changed and I didn't notice,
there is no such thing as partitioning an md device. Instead, you'd
partition the disks themselves, and then create RAID 1s from those
partitions.
E.g., instead of making hda1 and hdb1 into md0 and trying to partition md0
Right, I don't have the URLs handy but what you'll find looking around is
that the problem is often related to usage on 10BaseT networks. I ended up
downloading a utility to flip a few bits on the card, then the driver seems
to be OK on my 10BaseT network. Intel has information on the problem.

My woody workstation's (2.4.17 kernel) mouse is acting a little funky like

/etc/init.d/gpm stop

You mention heavy activity and drive fatigue--is your system thrashing?
Maybe it doesn't have enough physical memory to begin with.
If that's not the problem and you just really have an incredibly
disk-intensive application, you might consider a solid state disk if it's
really that important. You
It's possible you might actually want a software RAID 1, which would keep
the partitions duplicated in real time, and if one fails, the file system
would still be usable. Of course the partitions are not really meant to be
mounted directly--they're meant to be treated as a single RAID unit.
Maybe
*Is* a drive actually missing? Can fdisk see partition tables on all
your stripes? If you really lost one of your stripes, then by the laws
of RAID 0 you just lost your whole set. I only use RAID 0 on expendable
stuff.

present,

I can answer part of this.
I haven't done anything quite so complex as that, but I did use Linux fdisk

nice new MBR that boots to my Windows 98 FAT32 p

Yes, that's *exactly* what happened to me, dist-upgrading from a slink
install with a stock 2.0.36 kernel.
I ended up doing a fresh install from my potato CD just because things got
pretty messy. Clearly it's not supposed to work that way, but I'm not sure
what went wrong specifically.

Confident from my first slink -> potato dist-upgrade, I attempted slink ->
woody and pretty much hosed my installation. I've saved files and am doing a
CD install of potato.
The nature of the failure was surrounding woody's xbase-clients, which
wouldn't upgrade due to a conflict w/ xserver-common

I'll second that. I tried putty and ttssh both and came away with ttssh.
ttssh does port forwarding, which is very convenient for X, ftp, etc.

I may be all wet here, but are you sure it's ttyS1? If your laptop is
like mine, it probably has onboard serial that forces your PCMCIA modem
up to ttyS3. In fact, cardmgr is smart enough to symlink /dev/modem to
it for me, and un-symlink it when I pop the card out--really slick--I
always use /dev/

Check your keyboard connections, both at the motherboard and at the

It is possible that's what's causing it not to boot is that it's in diag

When X (and xdm) starts, you can still get to the virtual consoles by
hitting Ctrl-Alt-F1 through Ctrl-Alt-F6 (depending on which console you
want). To get back to X, go to the seventh virtual console by hitting
Ctrl-Alt-F7 (or just Alt-F7).
