Hm, I was convinced that I made a stupid beginner's mistake, but maybe
|
|
for once it is NOT me.
|
|
|
|
My boot disk made by SLS does not work, either. I just installed the
|
|
last version of SLS ("0.99.12 #6 from August 10") and my boot floppy
|
|
(made at the end of the installation menu) stops right after saying
|
|
|
|
"Press <Return> to see SVGA modes available, <SPACE> to continue or
|
|
wait 30 secs
|
|
|
|
I waited for a LONG time (several minutes) but nothing happened.
|
|
|
|
I also tried to make a boot disk by the method described in the
|
|
"Installation Guide" book (great book, btw!), but this did not work,
|
|
either. For the record, I did the following (being root in /):
|
|
|
|
rdev zImage /dev/hda2 # ( I have a zImage in / )
|
|
mke2fs /dev/fd0 1440
|
|
mount -t ext2 /dev/fd0 /floppy # I created a directory /floppy previously,
|
|
cp /zImage /dev/fd0 # although it does not seem to be used here
|
|
unmount /dev/fd0
|
|
|
|
This stopped with
|
|
|
|
Uncompressing Linux...
|
|
|
|
invalid compressed format
|
|
|
|
-- System halted
|
|
|
|
I can boot the system by using the a1.3 disk, then booting in LILO
|
|
from /dev/hda2.
|
|
|
|
Can anybody tell me how I can make a floppy on which I can boot?
|
|
|
|
Thanks a lot!

Either you are missing /dev/mouse or it is a soft link pointing to

|

If your mouse is on "COM1" make it /dev/ttyS0 in Xconfig.

|
|

|
i've installed linux into a 100mb partition on my hard disk for testing,
|
|
experimenting & configuring - when i'm happy with the way it works then it gets
|
|
the whole disk to itself...
|
|
|
|
details:
|
|
|
|
wangtek en5099-24 60MB tape drive
|
|
Wangtek PC-36 controller card (IRQ:5, DMA:1, PORT:300)
|
|
SLS 1.03 (series a,b,c disks only)
|
|
|
|
i can't get tar or mt to access the tape drive. i've recompiled the kernel to
|
|
make sure that the qic-02 support is installed, and got rid of some of the
|
|
stuff i didn't need (like SCSI drivers, -m486 flag etc). then i moved the old
|
|
/zImage to /old.zImage and copied the newly compiled zImage to /
|
|
|
|
i don't even see any message which could be the qic02 driver being loaded at
|
|
boot time.
|
|
|
|
|
|
i really don't know what to do next.
|
|
|
|
should i rm the /dev/rmt* and /dev/tape files, and then run /dev/MAKEDEV tapes
|
|
to re-mknod all the dev files? I've already tried just mknod-ing a /dev/qtape
|
|
device but that didn't make any difference.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
maybe this sort of stuff is in the Kernel Hackers Guide or the Systems
|
|
Administrator Guide from the Linux Doc Proj. I've only got the install guide,
|
|
and it doesn't tell enough...it should be describing the directory structure in
|

more detail, and the control/config files in particular rather than give yet
|

another mini tutorial on how to use sh

clues, anyone?

i find 43 line mode quite nice (a good compromise between amount of info on

for the eyes.
|

(i guess the answer will be something like 'hack the kernel sources and add

another mode'....any tips on how to go about this would be appreciated :-)

I am sure this has been asked over and over again, but here goes again:
|
|
|
|
I just got the latest version of Linux with Xwindows (from tsx-11.mit.edu)
|
|
and I installed it all, and when I type xinit, I can kinda see a window
|
|
on the screen, but it is about 5 times overlapped, and there is a bunch
|
|
of flickering. I got a program called 'freq' from the same ftp site,
|
|
however, I am not sure how to use, or what arguments it should take.
|
|
|
|
If someone has got a Speedstar 24x working with Xwindows (hopefully
|
|
in 1024x768), then please enlighten me via email....

When I asked this question several months ago, I got the answer that
|
|
one really must be root to do svgalib/vgalib program development.
|
|
This is a really big limitation as far as I'm concerned. If you
|
|
wanted to, you could merely do an su to root and then change the owner
|
|
to root and mode to suid, thus spending less time in root. But this
|
|
is still not too satisfactory...
|
|
|
|
Surely there is a better way.. Someone just has to make it up.

But I think I can still help. I've heard that to get rid of zombies
|
|
with portmap, recompiling portmap helps. I think I heard that you also have
|
|
to make sure it either uses BSD signal, or properly uses the POSIX one. I
|
|
think the zombies accumulate because of a SIGCHLD signal handler getting
|
|
turned off after the first invocation.
|
|
|
|
P.S. Can anyone tell me why in g*d's name portmapper has to fork?
|

Ok, I have the manual for the speedstar, so I can find out exactly

|
what horizonatal and vertical timings I need (in KHz), but then I look

at the Xconfig file, and it wants to know a clock, and then for the
|

vertical and horiz. timings, it has four numbers, and I have no
|
|
idea what they mean..
|
|
|
|
e.g.
|
|
|

"1024x768i" 44 1024 1040 1216 1264 768 777 785 817
|
|
|
|
horizontal vertical
|
|
|
|
now, in the manual, this is what I get for that res.
|
|
|
|
35.5 khz for Horizontal Sync and 43 Hz for Vertical Sync,

I dont see how the two tables really match?

If it means anything, SCO Unix is HZ=100 too.

It does, at least on my system, via <sys/param.h>:
|
|
|
|
#include <sys/param.h>
|

main() { printf("HZ is %d\n", HZ); }

HZ is 100

The problem is that you need to have the PROC FileSystem installed and
|
|
initialized. Try typing the following from the command prompt:
|
|
|
|
mount -t proc /proc /proc
|
|
|
|
If this works, then your problem is solved. It can be fixed perminantly
|
|
by adding the appropriate line to /etc/fstab.

I know that it is possible, as I have a machine here that can run MSDos,
|
|
Windows NT and Linux with no problem.
|
|
|
|
What I have not figured out how to do is to have all 3 opoerating
|
|
systems be avilable from a single boot menu. The NT boot system can
|
|
boot any number of NT installations, and at most one DOS partition.
|
|
I supose that the DOS partition could have a method of booting either
|
|
DOS or Linux; however I just have a floppy boot disk for Linux when
|
|
I want to run it. I have not spent time to see if NT could be booted
|
|
from a mechanism other than its own boot loader.

No, it's not possible. Novell treats the details of their protocols as a
|
|
trade secret.
