New drive, problems with old drive
Critical info: Debian with 2.22 Kernel I386 infrastructure 2 120 GB hard drives We were having problems with the old drive, to the point it was getting memory errors on boot. We installed a new drive in, and put the old drive as master. Installed Debian on the new drive, no problems, and during the partitioning process, it showed both drives (though I didn't partition the old drive, because I didn't want to erase it, so I could recover data) After complete install, the new drive shows up as expected, the old drive doesn't, and isn't in fstab. cfdisk only shows the one drive. Any ideas? Scott -- Using Opera's revolutionary e-mail client: http://www.opera.com/m2/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Not being detected as burner
I've got a CD R/W on my Debian (386) box, and it works fine as a CD reader, but how do I get it detected as a burner? Scott Mohnkern -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Kernel updates with apt-get?
This is probably a really stupid question. should apt-get being doing kernel updates? For some reason I'm still running 2.2.

Re: Kernel updates with apt-get?
hmmm. I've never tried "apt-get search" before and it didn't work..

For some reason I'm still running 2.2. apt-get will be doing updates to your kernel; problem is, I doubt there are any. The kernel packages are generally version specific; for example, kernel 2.4.18 is in a different package than kerenl 2.4.26. However, any fixes for 2.4.18 will result in a new version of that package. `apt-get search kernel-image` to show the available kernels, and then select one to install. Be careful, though, as updating from a 2.2 kernel to a 2.4 kernel will be quite a change. -- Using Opera's revolutionary e-mail client: http://www.opera.com/m2/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Okay, one more step to installing a new Kernel
I'm upgrading from the 2.2 Kernel to the 2.4.18 kernel on an AMD box. the Apt-get works, and here's what I get: cpcug:/proc# apt-get install kernel-image-2.4.18-1-k Reading Package Lists...

Logging on kernel 2.2
We're seeing something quite strange. Periodically, logging to messages just "stops" then it restarts. Anyone know what causes this?

problem installing a new kernel
Okay, I'm in the process of installing a new kernel (from 2.20 to 2.4.18) and I modified /etc/lilo.conf to have the initrd.img file, however, I can't find anywhere on the drive a copy of the initrd.img file for the 2.20 kernel. Is there a place to download, or a way to re-create the image file so it can be used? If I try to use the 2.4.18 kernel, with the image file, It's a complete mess, with dozens of errors. Plus the ethernet card stops working. (One error is that it cant' find it) Scott Mohnkern -- Using Opera's revolutionary e-mail client: http://www.opera.com/m2/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Weird situation
I'm running two debian 2.2 computers on a box on a network connected to the Internet via a router. I can telnet in from the outside to both boxes just fine. I can telnet from box a to box b without problem, but I can't telnet from box b to box a (or ssh). In addition, the webmin monitoring from box b on box a doesn't work. It generates an "RPC error" There aren't any firewalls running on box a or box b. Box A and B have portsentry installed, Box a is configured to not block box b (from the static.ignore file.
