bad...)

would say that your SCSI disk is the first BIOS disk, and your

I'm guessing the bios=0x00 tells lilo to use whatever disk the BIOS
thinks is the floppy drive. But if that's what setting (fd0) was
supposed to do you might be stuck. Hope you're just missing something.

I've got an idea, but it's a bit ugly and probably should only be
used as a last resort. (Unfortunately you appear to be getting to
that point...)
First, do : dpkg -L pkgname and remove (by hand, or with a script
if you're feeling a bit brave :) the files it lists, for each of
the broken packages.
Then : echo "pkgname purge" | dpkg --set-selections to get it out
of dpkg's database.
Of course, you might want to wait a bit so anybody else can figure
out something better, or say why this is a bad idea... Anyway, I
*think* that much of dpkg will work, even with the broken packages.

st 'avifile'. But both(?) libavifile and
libavifile-dev have a libmp3lamebin_audioenc.so[something]; just
making a symlink might work. And downloading the package and getting
the lib out with dpkg-deb shouldn't be a problem either, other than
having things floating around that dpkg doesn't know about. :)

Eh. You running testing? I don't think it's in stable, and in sid it
needs libqt3. And it sounds like something that would happen with
testing. :) You could use dpkg-deb and just extract libmp3lame.so
from it tho.

Yeah, this thing's amusing / annoying. The admins of the LUG list tried

two)). You might want to read some docs, this kind of thing should be

atch tried to add the lines starting with +,
but apparently didn't find the lines above to know where to put it.
You can look at the file (drivers/scsi/Makefile) for lines similar to
those, and put the added lines following those. Probably, there's been
some small change and the lines don't appear exactly as the patch
expects them to.

Loading the kernel off the floppy and mounting the root fs from the
hard drive works fine. So I tried just using the floppy to point to
a kernel on the HD, but that didn't work.
So, as I see it, those of us with the problem are stuck booting from

you just need to change the -p0 option to -p1, which strips
off the first part of the path (the linux-2.2.18[.SuSE] part) when
applying the patch, and if you're in the linux directory everything
should work since it will look for drivers/scsi/Config.in, etc.

r maybe set an option to

In any case, check some docs. I think there's a sort-of out-of-date

Others have suggested netstat, but nmap is another tool that can do
