I have checked the HOWTOs, but they are seriously lacking in useful information concerning this... G. -- Gordon Russell http://www.dcs.napier.ac.uk/~gor PGP Public Key - http://www.dcs.napier.a

Problems with setserial and pcmcia

1999-05-24 Thread Gordon Russell
it is /etc/init.d script with rcS, rc0, and rc6 used. I used priority 30 in each directory, as I need modules (like serial) loaded before use, and need access to modules and /etc (I may do some writing) on shutdown and halts. Is this a problem with setserial or with pcmcia?? G. -- Gordon Russell

Bug#4409: Problems with the post-install

1996-09-05 Thread Gordon Russell
Package: kernel-image Version: 2.0.5-1 The post-install seems to look for /vmlinuz, and since I don't have one of those it dies off rather quickly! All my kernels are in the /boot directory, as this is a partition on my IDE drive, and / is on a SCSI drive (which would be difficult to boot from).

Bug#1891: bug report

1995-11-22 Thread Gordon Russell
Packages: base The /etc/magic file does not allow the file command to identify elf .a files from aout .a files very easily. Indeed, an elf archive : archive but an aout archive : random archive Would someone update this to something more meaningful? Thanks, Gordon
