i just re-built my debian system from the disk image, and i'm having the
same problem i had before i rebuilt it -- it hangs at "LI" when trying to
boot from the hard disk. I can boot from the emergency floppy just fine
though.
Apparantly it's complaining that there is no active boot partition, bu
I just upgraded from kernel version 2.2.19pre17 to 2.4.13 and everything
went fine...except that it appears no modules loaded (lsmod returns
nothing). After 'make bzImage' i did 'make modules' and 'make
modules_install' and that didn't break, so i assumed it went ok.
would it be that the paths to
is it possible to get a distribution of debian (cd image, or
psuedo-image) that uses the 2.4 kernel? I'd love to do a fresh install
on a pc w/o having to re-compile the kernel to 2.4 immediately.
thanks,

I'm trying to install VMware on debian and all goes smoothly until it
tries to find a 'vmmon' module for my kernel. it's asking for the dir
where my C header files are, but then saying that they don't match the
version i'm running. i don't see how that's possible. here's the

I got the soundcard working, I can see the audio files on the audio CD
(titles even loaded from cddb), and I can even play them. I just can't
HEAR them. Is there some trick to being able to hear audio from the CD?
I checked and the CD player is plugged in to the soundcard's CD IN

I have a Creative Soundblaster PCI 512 which apparantly uses the soundcore

I upgraded to woody and although the installation seemed to go smoothly,
when it was done not a whole lot worked. I cannot start x ('startx' results
in a 'command not found') and apache ain't around either ('apachectl start'
gets the same result).
Has anyone else had similar problems, and if so,
this is a very basi newbie question -
I popped in a second NIC (cheap - linksys NC100) for some internal
networking purposes. How can I find out if this card is supported? and
if it is, Do I need to re-compile the kernel to add support for it on my
machine?
thanks!

I've got a drive that's completely full of files, mounted at /home/dir.
I added a second drive so I could continue storing files of the same
type, and mounted it at /home/dir2.
Is there a way to make it so that it appears these files are all in one
dir? I don't think it's possible to mount tw
Homesite has a nifty feature called FTP/RDS that allows me to open, edit
and save files on remote servers as if they were local. I'm wondering
if linux would have a similar feature where I could open and edit files,
say, in gnotepad (or other GTK text editor) and save them remotely in
the s
I can mount filesystems from the command line just fine, but for some
reason when i add them to the fstab file, they don't mount at boot time.
is there and additional step I am missing...or is my syntax just wrong?

Somehow i managed to blow away my windowmaker menus for myself. but if i
start X as root i see that the structure is there for root. Does anyone
know what file the wm menus are stored in for root...and where i'd put them
to restore them for my onw user acct?

I'm a debian newbie, and there's something driving me a bit crazy...the
default install of debian sends me straight to X, rather than a command
line. What do I need to do to boot up to just a plain old prompt?
In addition, once I am in X, I can't figure out how to get out of it. Wm's

Linux registers both NICs, because this appears in /var/log/messages:
