Note that IRQ is the cascade interrupt; when the bus mouse is set to tug
|
|
on the physical IRQ2, the software sees IRQ9. When you change
|
|
busmouse.h, don't change to IRQ2 (system will crash) change to IRQ9.
|
|
But leave the mouse on IRQ2. "It worked for me."

Under K&R, using old-style prototypes, v would be declared as type int

What you have to do prior to initiating the install script is turn on (and
|
|
allow linux to see/use) your defined swap partition, to do so simply login as
|
|
root and execute the following:
|
|
|
|
swapon /dev/hdax - where "hdax" is your mkswap formatted swap partition.
|
|
(ie "swapon /dev/hda3").
|
|
|
|
if everything goes as planned,Linux will report to you, a message similar to
|
|
"adding xxxx K of swap"..
|
|
|
|
now you should have plenty of space to continue with the install..

Yes. For all practical purposes, an unlimited number of SCSI devices
|
|
are supported.

|
|
|
|
Unix devices are identified as either block or character (block
|
|
devices go through the buffer cache, character devices do not) devices,
|
|
a major number (ie which driver is used - block major 8 corresponds
|
|
to SCSI disks) and a minor number (ie which unit is being accessed
|
|
through a given driver - ie character major 4, minor 0 is the first
|
|
virtual console, minor 1 the next, etc). However, accessing devices through
|
|
this separate namespace would break the unix/Linux metaphor of
|
|
"everything is a file," so character and block device special files
|
|
are created under /dev. This lets you access the raw third SCSI disk
|
|
device as /dev/sdc, the first serial port as /dev/ttyS0, etc.
|
|
|
|
In your case, the kernel is aware of the disk, and has made an appropriate
|
|
entry in the SCSI disk driver tables for /dev/sdc. However, your /dev
|
|
directory lacks an entry for it (do an ls /dev/sdc* and you'll notice that
|
|
there aren't any files that match there).
|
|
|
|
The preferred method for creating a file is using the MAKDEV script -
|
|
cd /dev
|
|
|
|
and run MAKEDEV (as root) for the devices you want to create - ie
|
|
|
|
./MAKEDEV sdc
|
|
|
|
wildcards "should" work - ie
|
|
|
|
./MAKEDEV sd\*
|
|
|
|
"should" create entries for all SCSI disk devices (doing this should create
|
|
/dev/sda through /dev/sdp, with fifteen partition entries for each)
|
|
|
|
./MAKEDEV sdc\*
|
|
|
|
"should" create entries for /dev/sdc and all fifteen permissible partitions
|
|
on /dev/sdc, etc.
|
|
|
|
I say "should" because this is the standard unix behavior - the MAKEDEV
|
|
script in your installation may not conform to this behavior, or may have
|
|
restricted the number of devices it will create.
|
|
|
|
If MAKEDEV won't do the right magic for you, you'll have to create the
|
|
device entries by hand with the mknod command.
|
|
|
|
The block/character, major, and minor numbers are specified for the
|
|
various SCSI devices in the SCSI-HOWTO :
|
|
|
|
Section 4 :
|
|
Subsection C : Device Files
|
|
|
|
SCSI disks use block device major 8, and there are no "raw" devices
|
|
ala BSD.
|
|
|
|
16 minor numbers are allocated to each SCSI disk, with minor % 16 == 0
|
|
being the whole disk, minors 1 <= minor % 16 <= 4 the four primary
|
|
partitions, minors 5 <= minor % 16 <= 15 any extended partitions.
|
|
|
|
Due to constraints imposed by Linux's use of a sixteen bit dev_t with
|
|
only eight bits allocated to the minor number, the SCSI disk minor
|
|
numbers are assigned dynamically starting with the lowest SCSI HOST/ID/LUN.
|
|
|
|
Ie, a configuration may work out like this (with one host adapter)
|
|
Device Target, Lun SCSI disk
|
|
84M Seagate 0 0 /dev/sda
|
|
SCSI->SMD bridge disk 0 3 0 /dev/sdb
|
|
SCSI->SMD bridge disk 1 3 1 /dev/sdc
|
|
Wangtek tape 4 0 none
|
|
213M Maxtor 6 0 /dev/sdd
|
|
|
|
Etc.
|
|
|
|
The standard naming convention is
|
|
|
|
/dev/sd{letter} for the entire disk device ((minor % 16) == 0)
|
|
/dev/sd{letter}{partition} for the partitions on that device
|
|
(1 <= (minor % 16) <= 15)
|
|
|
|
Ie
|
|
|
|
/dev/sda (block device major 8 minor 0)
|
|
/dev/sda1 (block device major 8 minor 1)
|
|
/dev/sda2 (block device major 8 minor 2)
|
|
/dev/sdb (block device major 8 minor 16)
|
|
|
|
So, to manually create the devices for /dev/sdc, you could say
|
|
(as root)
|
|
|
|
mknod /dev/sdc b 8 32
|
|
mknod /dev/sdc1 b 8 33
|
|
mknod /dev/sdc2 b 8 34
|
|
|
|
etc.

Quite simple, make the 'other' entry the first in the config file.
|

My system has DOS as it's default, to be sure that accidental power on -

power off cycles don't harm.

I have a TCP/IP Boot Prom on a PC, that is able to boot MS-DOS. What I do
|
|
is to create a regular boot-floppy for the PC, copy that onto the server,

and then the PC can load this image into a ram-disk and boot from that

ramdisk. This all works fine.
|
|
|
|
I tried the same with Linux. Upon starting, the whole PC hangs when

LILO has output "LI". I suppose it is because LILO is trying to open

a device which in actual fact does not exist.
|
|

Could anyone help me ?

What would the installation procedure be ?

I have a Quantum PD1225 hard disk attached to an Adaptec 1542C. I have to

use the gigabyte option (otherwise OS/2 and DOS cannot access the last 200
|

MByte) which changes the virtual parameters to 255 heads,

64 sectors. However, the Linux kernel (0.99p13) does not seem to like this:
|
|
It does not detect the Adaptec correctly, and stops with the message

interrupt received, but no mail
|
|
|
|
Is there any solution known which lets Linux work with the gigabyte option ?

From the /usr/lib/zoneinfo/time.doc:
|
|
"...
|
|
1) set /usr/lib/zoneinfo/localtime and /usr/lib/zoneinfo/posixrules.
|
|
You should copy the file for your time zone. E.g. if you are in the

I am currently using the last Slackware release, and I have a big problem
|
|
with xdm. It starts normally and gives me access to an olwm session all right.
|
|
But when I exit olwm, the computer hangs. I must add that I have the XS3
|
|
package installed. I would welcome any idea ( or a definitive answer from
|
|
a Linux Guru... ).

Hi all,
|
|
|
|
I am using Gnu C 2.4.5. Over the weekend I compiled xv version 3. The default
|
|
in the makefile switches debugging code on (-g). With this option on, I always
|
|
got a Segmentation fault error. Without this option, it works fine (and the
|
|
executable size decreases from 2MB to 500kb).
|
|
|
|
Any idea why that happens ? I had the same problem with xdtm (file manager).
|
|
|
|
Ciao,

It's not a prob of your XS3 package ...
|
|
|
|
Now, to fix this 'bug':
|
|
|
|
Login as root, go straight down to /usr/X386/lib/X11/xdm and edit the config
|
|
file (forgot it's name, sorry).
|
|
Write the following line at the end of the file:
|
|
|
|
DisplayManager.*.terminateServer: true
|
|
|
|
Save and reboot, and xdm will work correct.

Don't you know, that, if you start Linux on DOS (ROTFL), it deletes all
|
|
files with the string 'Microsoft' in it?

I had a simliar problem with my install, turned out my RAM was bad. Just
|
|
to be sure check your RAM before continuing. It could save you a lot of
|
|
hassles.

Does anyone have an Xconfig for a Compaq 386/20e deskpro. I would greatly
|
|
appreciate a copy! Configuring X is sooo much fun.

Hello SEAN and all others,

SM> Do CD-ROM with their own interface cards work in general with Linux?

|

Yes, in general. :-)
|
|
|
|
Linux has more drivers for CDROMs with a "proprietary" interface than
|
|
any other unix: Sony, Mitsumi,
|
|
Matsushita/Kotobuki/Panasonic/Aztech/CreativeLabs.
|
|
|
|
Best buy today is Matsushita/Panasonic CR-562-B (double-speed, german price:
|
|
<300$).
|
|
Best buy tomorrow (if the appropriate driver by Martin Harriss gets updated)
|
|
will
|
|
be the new double-speed Mitsumi FX 001 D, possibly...

Is there a stable SLS release that includes pl10 or higher?
|
|
|
|
If so, could someone tell me what it is, and where to get it?
|
|
|
|
I am currently running pl10, and I need to re-partition and format my
|
|
drive, so I figure it'd be easier to just get the new SLS and
|
|
re-install that, than to copy everything I have, bit by bit.
|
|
|
|
Thanks.
