I've been using X10 equipment since they started making it (about 17
years ago). Generally, I'm happy with it. However, I don't rely on it
personally for anything important. (I do have clients which use it.)

Sanity check: Are you sure you copied the $LINUX/arch/i386/boot/bzImage file
to /boot/vmlinuz (or whatever destination you prefer), and not

http://www.smarthome.com has lots of X10 stuff and
the staff is very friendly and helpful on the phone.
They were very accomodating when I had to return a
defective unit and I've received no spam from them.
Their paper catalog has a lot of stuff in it and it's
good geeky fun to leaf through it.
MIB,
I believe I heard to boot-strap itself, the (compressed) kernel still
has to fit in 640K, no?
If so (I could be wrong), and you haven't made a compressed kernel
(bzImage), you'll likely have to make some modules to cut down the size.

Try make clean;make dep;make bzImage, and then do your lilo again.

Hey all,
So I ran out to get myself a copy of 2.4, compiled my kernel (yay!) and
then then i run LILO I get the following error;

I've only had one customer venture into the IDE RAID space on a Linux
box. It worked fine until one of the drives failed, and the controller
corrupted *both* drives (probably because it didn't know one drive of
the mirror failed and it blithely kept syncing the mirror set).

I did a presentation on X10 and Linux a year or so ago to GNHLUG at DWC

for a demo :-).
That's my first caveat. My second one is that the software is r

My wife and I are doing some self-education on modest home automation (basic

companies that sell "brain" units, I would prefer to use a PC based control

It would depend on a number of factors, including but not limited to:
- How much bandwidth each user wants
- Total radio spectrum available to s
Just about everyone does it differently. I do not use a separate boot partition
because it is no longer necessary. I just install LILO on the MBR.
My setup is:

We've used siig (http://www.siig.com/) controllers before with good
