Debian 2.0 booting problem
Hi, I installed debian 2.0 on pc there is the strange problem: Sometimes it boots up well. I have installed only the base system and netwoking code (NIS and Automount) Sometimes the boot process hangs with the following error message: qlogicisp: PCI bios not present eata_dma : No BIOS32 extensions present. This driver still depends on it 0 Skipping scan for PCI HBAs eata_pio: No BIOS32 extensions present. This driver still depends on it 0 Skipping scan for PCI HBAs When the machine boots up properly, the above stage does not occur. I dont doubt the cdrom as I used the same to install debian on another machine. This is my second debian install and I have no idea what to do. Any comments are welcome Suresh Suresh Kumar.R Lecturer Dept of Electronics & Communication College of Engineering Trivandrum - 695 016 INDIA Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

nfs client crash
Hi, I get the following message and the machine crashes, apparently when it tries to access our nfs server. nfs: task 588 cant get a request slot This is not the server problem (most probably) as the files can be accessed at the same time from someother client machine. This error occurs only in certain specific machines. The clients runs a mix of stormix and debian potato 2.2. The file systems are mounted in the client using autofs while in the server, they are mounted at boot time using /etc/fstab. Any suggestions?

High load
Hi, I recently installed a debian 2.1 on my machine which was earlier running redhat 5.2. (pentium 100MHz, 16mb ram). The machine becomes very very slow and unusable when I run netscape. I have dialup connection. The load average goes 100 and more. I have never seen load averages going above 2 earlier with redhat installation. I tried issuing top command to know who the culprit is. I could not find much sense from the listing. It showed multiple entries of syslogd. Any ideas on how to make the system useful ?

Debian Newbie problems.
Hi, I have the following problems on installing debian 2.0 from a single cdrom of "cheapbyte official binary". 1. Sometimes when I shutdown using cntrl-alt-delete, my machine sometimes hangs with the last line saying Shutting down cron. I have tried changing the ctrl-alt-delete command to /sbin/shutdown. But no use. Sometimes hangs and sometime OK. I saw this on two debian machines. On somemachines no such problem. On all machines the installation was from the same cd. 2. How to get the spice program in debian version. (Spice is the electronics circuit analysis program readily available in redhat rpm format). I installed spice*.rpm in debian using the alien command, but it didnot run due to library mismatches. I dont know how to identify the libraries needed for installing some rpms. 3. I couldnot find netscape in the debian cd I am using. What is the best source for buying debian cds from so that I get almost everything I need to put on a networked workstation having internet access. I have heard of infomagic debian. I have no idea about it.

Re: Debian Newbie problems.
Hi, I am surprised to note that debian distributions in cdrom donot contain netscape. Why is it that Redhat distributions contain netscape while debian cdrom doesnot? As I a newbie to Debian, could anyone please tell me the plus/minus points of debian over redhat distribution. Please consider this as a very genuine question.
