Reinstalling sarge led to my lvm partitions being marked 82 "Linux swap!"

Hello, After having a failing boot drive on my storage box, I reinstalled Sarge from scratch using the net-inst CD on a fresh drive. The box had two lvm volumes with some PEs for one of them on the failing disk, and the rest on other disks. In the installer I tried to only have it partition the

pcmcia problem after upgrade

I am sure this has come up before, but I can't find the answer in the archives. I just upgraded from 2.0 -> 2.1 via apt-get. Everything seemed to go smoothly, but the new card services won't recognize my ethernet card. It's a Linksys Etherfast 10/100 PC Card (not Cardbus). I get a middle tone and l

(oops) loading pcmcia eth0 II

Sorry, I forgot a couple of things. First, I am using a 3com 3c589D card. Secondly, when I reboot the machine, I get the following errors when trying to recognize the card (?): socket 0: 3c589D /lib/modules/2.0.30/pcmcia/3c589_cs.o: unresolved symbol . . . (there are several lines of this) ins

O.K., I just wiped my laptop to install Debian 1.3.1 (again), and have run into a problem. I have installed the system (plus some), recompiled the kernel with all the appropriate stuff and sundries, and generally done what I thought should be done. I cannot, however, get my ethernet card going

hostname problem (?)

I posted earlier today about configuring smail . . . well, I gave up and went back to my original problem with sendmail. As it turns out, it may not be sendmail at fault. In my mail.log file, I get the following message whenever I try to send mail to my main domain or receive mail from there wi

I am new to smail (been using sendmail), and have a couple of questions. I am setting up services on a client only machine ( a laptop ). I will be receiving mail using fetchmail from several sources. I can't figure out how to do two things: 1. change the name of any outgoing mail to another us

Xemacs weirdness

I need to ask a question that isn't Debian specific: if inappropriate, let me go ahead and apologize. I still have SuSE installed on my laptop. Curiousity got the best of me and I installed XEmacs this morning. I opened the prog and everything works fine except this: whenever I mouse-over the func

I have just finished an install (1.3.1) on a machine with a Matrox Mistique.

This is using the svga server. Is there a be

mailer question

O.K. I'm going to go out on a limb here. I need to get one of my email servers to reject mail if the /var/spool/mail/ file is past a certain size. In so many words, I need to dole out the "mailbox full" error when needed. Is this something done with deliver or procmail, or is it a sendmail ruleset
