You don't need the other 13. You just needed ~100Mb of the first cd. Then used apt-get for whatever you needed. If I had downloaded 14 cd's, then I would have 13 coasters (I'm on a fast connection.)

Problems rebooting after compiling a new kernel
Hi guys.. I'm having some weird problems when I try to reboot after compiling a kernel to suit my hardware. I've compiled linux kernels in debian several times before but I recently installed Debian Potato on a new intel box. In order to be as detailed as possible I've included some files at the bottom of the message(mainly the .config file I used to compile the kernel)so if the message's length is too long then I apologize. First of all, this is a list of all the actions I took before rebooting #cd /usr/src/linux #make menuconfig #make dep #make clean #make bzImage #make modules (Then I moved /lib/modules/2.2.17 to /lib/modules/2.2.17.old) #make modules_install (Then I moved /boot/System.map and /boot/vmlinuz-2.2.17 likewise) #cp /usr/src/linux/System.map /boot/map #cp /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/bzImage (I changed the symlinks /vmlinuz and /vmlinuz.old to reflect the changes in /boot) I edited /etc/lilo.conf to add a new block for /boot/bzImage) #/sbin/lilo No lilo errors popped up so I rebooted and once it came time for the new boot process I got this error.. VFS: Cannot open root device 16:01 Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 16:01 To try to fix things I tried to reboot with the boot floppy I made when I initially installed Debian but I get a *lot* of module dependencies problems(I'm assuming because of /lib/modules/2.2.17.old )but one which just won't go away and blocks the login process is modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module net-pf-1 Before I attach the .config file let me say that this computer booted up fine before compiling a new kernel and that I've tried to boot into single user mode but that won't work either because of the module problems. Can someone please point out what I did wrong and how I can correct it. If it's not reparable then what steps do I need to take once I reinstall and before I reboot with the new kernel.

Hi, I have an ethernet connection. I have a 3Com 595 card and use the 3Com59x.o driver module in linux. After I installed 'frozen' over the net, I downloaded 2.2.14 and compiled it. During bootup, it recognises eth0 and prints out the message regd the 3c59x card but then it gives me 'depmod' errors with all the '.o files' in the /lib/modules/2.0.36/pcmcia/ directory.

RE: No internet connection with 'frozen' and 2.2.14 kernel...
Hi, I compiled the pcmcia modules and still my internet connection is down. Are there any error messages/howto files/faq that I can look at that tell me about what programs have to work for the internet connection to work ie what is so different about 2.2.14 than 2.0.36 with respect to internet connection.

How can go back to 'stable' from 'frozen'
Hi, Other than replacing my ethernet card 3com595, I don't seem to have an alternative as I have a dual Processor Pentium machine (the second processor isn't recognised by the 2.0.36 kernel) with 'frozen' loaded and can't get my compiled kernel, 2.2.14 to talk to the internet. I want to go back to 'stable' so that when I install 2.2.x so that the kernel recognises the dual processors and ethernet connection is up. Is there any way I can erase _all_ the current 'frozen' packages and install 'stable' using dselect or apt-get. Thanks Rajesh
depmod for 2.2.14 stills looks in /lib/modules/2.0.36/
Hi, Even after I upgraded the kernel to 2.2.14 from 2.0.36, bootup process gives me a slew of depmode errors for the modules in the /lib/modules/2.0.36 directory. Where can I make depmod check the /lib/modules/2.2.14 directory instead? Thanks rajesh
Is there a kernel-image-2.2.14 that is compiled with SMP on
Hi, I downloaded 'kernel-image-2.2.14.deb' after seeing someone post here. Unfortunately the newly installed kernel doesn't recognize the second processor. Is there another such kernel-image-2.2.14 with SMP on. thanks rajesh
3c59x.c and SMP
Hi, I have a dual pentium processor box with 3com595 ethernet card. Try as I might I couldn't get my newly installed 2.2.14 kernel to connect to the internet. I just read in one of the Ethernet-HOWTO files that the ethernet card driver ie. 3c59x.c must have the 'spin_lock' function to implement arbitration between the dual processors. Unfortunately, the 3c59x.c doesn't have such a 'spin_lock' function, even in the the newest version that I downloaded from http://cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov/linux/drivers/vortex.html However, I did find 'spin_lock' in 3c501,3c507,3c509 drivers $ grep spin_lock 3c*.c .. 3c509.c:spin_lock(&lp->lock); 3c509.c:spin_lock(&lp->lock); Any suggestions... Thanks Rajesh
Re: Is there a kernel-image-2.2.14 that is compiled with SMP on
Hi, Thanks for your replies. The compiled 2.2.14 kernel does indeed recognise the 2 processors but my new kernel has problems with the 3com595 card hence can't connect to the internet... It seems the driver (3c59x.c vortex driver) has to have a 'spin_lock' function implemented for SMP machines I had posted this problem on this newsgroup couple of days ago, guess I am the only one who has this problem... :( Thanks Rajesh On Sun, 20 Feb 2000, Svante Signell wrote: > I think you have to compile it yourself.

Re: Blackdown's jdk1.2.2 v3 does not run....
Hi, I downloaded v1 of jdk-1.2 from blackdown. I had no problems getting it to work after following the instructions in the README.linux file. I tested a program that uses the Swing library that comes with jdk-1.2 and it works just fine. I have slink installed and all I did was to add /usr/jdk1.2/bin to PATH and usr/jdk1.2/lib to CLASSPATH. I also removed my jdk1.1 installation. Hope this helps. ciao Rajesh

Re: Blackdown's jdk1.2.2 v3 does not run....
Hi, I got my jdk-1.2 from the following link( its the first site on the North America mirror sites listed in download section on www.blackdown.org) ftp://iodynamics.com/pub/mirror/linux-jdk/JDK-1.2/i386/pre-v1/ I downloaded 'jdk1.2pre-v1.tar.bz2 ' and followed the instructions in README.linux. After reading your mail, realised that I forgot to mention that I upgraded to 2.2.12 kernel on my Pentium machine before I installed jdk-1.2v1 (2 weeks ago). I had no jdk-1.2v1 related problems when I switched to potato. Hope this helps. ciao Rajesh
Problems after upgrading to potato
Hi, I upgraded to potato and have the foll problems, 1. My mouse doesn't work after I boot and start X windows. I have to run gpm,gpm-mouse-test after I boot in to make my mouse work. Any ideas what I have to check in my init script so that my mouse driver is installed at boot time. 2. 'xset r ' is not on by default (for key repeats). I don't know why it changed. I have to type 'xset r on' at my screen and have a script that does this on the machines I log into. Is there a way to set this permanently in my X windows session? 3. I get 'shmget failed' error in a couple of apps. How do I increase my shared memory? Thanks in advance. Rajesh

Re: Frequent download time outs
Hi, I too face many times such problems on my dial up connection. Just yesterday when I tried to download the rpm files of icewm, two of them got downloaded properly but the icewm-common file was just timing out in between. I tried it many times, but could not succeed. Finally a fellow icewm listers has sent me that rpm file by mail. Today I tried to download SDL latest version. The SDL binary rpm got downloaded properly but the SDL-devel package was timing out. I wanted the devel package for compiling some stuff I had downloaded from Freshmeat. Is this problem of the Host site or ISP ??? Presently I am using SuSE 7 and will be shifting to Debian soon. May be this week itself.

debian 2.2 release 3 and net connect
Hi, I am new to this list. I am a home user on a dial up line, using wvdial to connect to the net. When I was using Debian 2.2 everything was working fine. But since I have installed Debian 2.2 Rel-3 there seems to be some problem. What happens is when I connect to the net for the first time using wvdial, it gets connected but my dns is not working. nslookup just gives the names of /etc/resolv.conf dns servers along with the error that no servers not found. However if I disconnect wvdial and dial again than everything works fine. Why I have to dial twice to make dns work ? Anybody faced this problem with Release 3. I am wasting my telephone calls here. Please help. My /etc/resolv.conf contains : [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ more /etc/resolv.conf nameserver 210.212.161.28 nameserver 210.212.161.30 (DNS servers of my ISP here). Thanks in advance.

When I first time connect to the net using wvdial DNS is not working. However if I disconnect and than reconnect again everything seems to work fine. Can anybody point out where the problem lies. I have to daily connect twice now. Otherwise since DNS is not working I can not send mail nor can I browse. I have put the following in /etc/ppp/options usepeerdns it works fine.

reiserfs & mount
Hi, A few days back I had downloaded the latest versions of linux-util and e2fsprogs since I converted my ext2 partition to ext3. Now I have a free 1 GB partition /dev/hda9. I wanted to try out reiserfs on it. So I created reiserfs partition (mkreiserfs). Everything fine till here. Now surprise. If I put the following in /etc/fstab : /dev/hda9 /mnt/hda9 reiserfs defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1 and try to mount I get the following : debian:/home/rajesh# mount /mnt/hda9 mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hda9, or too many mounted file systems As u can see below reiserfs kernel module is loaded. debian:/home/rajesh# lsmod Module Size Used by reiserfs 150816 0 (autoclean) lp 5024 0 (autoclean) ide-cd 26032 0 cdrom 26976 0 [ide-cd] es1371 25760 0 ac97_codec 8528 0 [es1371] sound 55520 0 (unused) soundcore 3920 6 [es1371 sound] i810 74880 0 (unused) loop8000 0 (unused) Now if I try to mount the same reisefs partition with : debian:/home/rajesh# mount -t reiserfs /dev/hda9 /mnt/hda9/ it mounts fine. debian:/home/rajesh# mount /dev/hda3 on / type ext3 (rw,errors=remount-ro,errors=remount-ro) proc on /proc type proc (rw) devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,mode=620) /dev/hda5 on /mnt/data type vfat (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,errors=remount-ro) /dev/hda6 on /mnt/funstuff type vfat (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,errors=remount-ro) /dev/hda1 on /mnt/windows type vfat (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,errors=remount-ro) /dev/hda9 on /mnt/hda9 type reiserfs (rw) ^ Why is mounting after putting the appropriate entry in /etc/fstab not working ? The same stuff works with -t reiserfs option to mount. Any ideas ? Thanks in advance.

I had just done copy and paste in my /etc/fstab and as a result errors=remount-ro also remained and I missed out on that. After removing that option now it works fine. I also had a look at man mount and could not find any mention of reiserfs in it :-) But it works fine. Thanks for the help.

But don't take my word on this... hopefully >someone more knowledgeable will post on this issue. I have compiled Kernels 2.4.7 - 2.4.9 with ext3 patch and converted my exisiting ext2 partition to ext3 without any hicups. Using ext3 here at home for the last 3 months without any problems. I have written a mini-howto on this. Please have a look at http://www.hserus.net/rajesh/ in case u are interested. ext3 is quite sturdy. No problems for me till now. The best thing about ext3 is that you can easily convert from ext2 to ext3 whereas for other file sytems the procedure will be take backup of existing partitions, recreate the partition / format the partition with reiserfs or JFS and than restore the backup. ext2 to ext3 is cool. Red hat guys seem to be coming up with their next release with ext3 file system support. Still the ext3 patch is not put in the standard kernels. Patch has to be separatly applied. I think shortly it will make its way in the standard kernel as well. My 2 cents on this.

Hello Thomas, It's always helpful to have a deb file of your custom compiled kernel handy. Say in case of crash etc. you need not recompile the kernel :-) Just dpkg -i kernel-image* In case your new kernel does not work as u want or some bugs etc. than u can easily revert back to your old kernel. It is always better to keep packges installed using a Package Manager. When u have been given such a nice utility why not make full use of it :-) There is also a nice tool called checkinstall using which u can create a deb file for any of the compiled stuff. I have got now icewm.deb, mutt.deb, mplayer.deb etc. using checkinstall. Coool.

potato release 3 and dial-up user dns problem
Hi, On one of my client's machine I installed debian potato Release 3 from the 3 CD set. However with the kernel 2.2.19-prex version there seems to be some problem. What happens is for the first time when I connect to the net everything is working. nslookup, dns. But as soon as the connect is terminated, the next time when it connects dns is not working. I am using isp's dns. The machine is very low end hence could not afford to put up a dns server on this. Basically this machine is only for email server. Due to the above problem now there is problem in sending and receiving email. Anybody faced the above problem ? What can I do so that dns works throughout without problems ? I have got proper dns entries in /etc/resolv.conf. (It works for the first time). Thanks in advance. Please cc the replies to me as I am not subscribed to the list due to heavy traffic.

PPPoE connection problems with Debian Woody
Greetings, I'm having severe connection problems using my ADSL modem. I am using the following packages.. ppp_2.4.1.uus-1_arm.deb and pppoe_3.3-1_arm.deb and I am running the 2.4.16-rmk1 kernel. Whenever I issue the command 'pon dsl-provider' I get the following errors in /var/log/syslog .. pppd[431]: pppd 2.4.1 started by root, uid 0 pppd[431]: Serial connection established. pppd[431]: using channel 15 pppd[431]: Using interface ppp0 pppd[431]: Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/pts/0 pppd[431]: sent [LCP ConfReq id=0x1 ] pppd[431]: sent [LCP ConfReq id=0x1 ] last message repeated 5 times pppd[431]: Terminating on signal 15. pppd[431]: sent [LCP TermReq id=0x2 "User request"] pppoe[432]: Received signal 15. pppd[431]: Script pppoe -I eth0 -T 80 -m 1452 finished (pid 432), status = 0x0 pppd[431]: Modem hangup pppd[431]: Connection terminated pppd[431]: Exit And sometimes it says this (including the errors above).. "LCP: timeout sending Config-Requests" "Timeout waiting for PADO packets" I'm pretty sure it's a problem with my Debian configuration because I have no connectivity problems using Windows or a Netwinder(running a modified version of redhat). Can someone please take a look at the errors / my configuration files and point out what I'm doing wrong? I've set up pppoe numerous times before on linux so I know I'm overlooking something really small.

lxdoom-x11 and music
Hi, Has anybody running lxdoom with midi music ? I have got a Creative Ensonique es1371 sound card. When I try to play doom I get sfx sound but midi sound seems to be not working. I am using the kernel oss sound modules. When I run doom the following is displayed : I_InitSound: Passing sound data to /usr/games/sndserv via pipe: I_InitSoundGen: configured /dev/dsp for 16bit signed data sent OK /usr/games/musserv: midi_setup: error opening /dev/sequencer /usr/games/musserv: No such device or address Broken pipe S_Init: Setting up sound. S_Init: default sfx volume 13 Any ideas what could be wrong here ? Thanks in advance.

udf & linux
Hi, Is there anybody who has tested success in reading, writing or reading/writing CD's burnt using DIRECT CD software from Windows. The CD is burnt in UDF format. I have compiled the kernel with UDF read support (as module). But when I mount the CD after loading the udf module, I get the following : [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cdrom$ l total 414 -r-xr-xr-x1 root root 65 Dec 17 2000 autorun.inf -r-xr-xr-x1 root root 421546 Dec 17 2000 udfrinst.exe Why is it not reading the UDF file system ? What is the use of udf file system support in the kernel ? Thanks in advance. ps.: With DIRECT CD use can just copy the files from one window to other. Is this possible somehow in Linux. Means using simple cp command can some files be backed up on this CD ? -- : [Linux One Stanza Tip] From : <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> LOST #058-**< Sub : Linux Users Counter >**- There is no way to know the exact number of Linux users in the world ... a counter was set up five years ago.
