My linux box is in Wonder Land!
|
||
|
||
My machine stopped booting (either 1.1.27, 1.1.50, or 1.1.52)
|
||
with the message vaguely like:
|
||
Unable to handle page request at virtual address ...
|
||
right after the partition check (before mounting root).
|
||
|
||
I can boot from a floppy, mount all my partitions, install the swap.
|
||
But no way to boot from my IDE drive.
|
||
I reinstalled lilo, fsck'ed all my partitions, rebuilt the
|
||
swap, shuffled memory simms, but still...
|

Oh! BTW, dos still works but what can I do with it? :-(

I posted a similar article to comp.unix.questions a few days ago and
|
||
thought I would come to you all too. I want to know if there is a DOS
|
||
linker for Linux? I know SCO has one available and I need to finish up a
|
||
DOS project (chuckle chuckle) but I don't want to give up the Linux
|
||
environment. What my plans were....
|
||
a) find a linker (I like this idea <g>)
|
||
b) see if DJGPP's linker will compile and work easily under Linux)
|
||
c) write one... (EGADS I don't like this IDEA at all)
|
||
|

Thanks

BTW - I could just reboot and load DOS 6.2, but the novelty of writing

IMHO the best one is E0Q2, that is modem response codes enabled in originate
|
||
mode (for things such as uucp dialout chat-scripts), and disabled in answer
|
||
mode (then you just have to find a getty that opens the serial port in

|

This reminds me of the joke:
|
||
A guy is driving on the higway and listens to the radio. It say: "Attention!
|
||
There is a crazy driver driving the wrong way on the highway!" The guy is
|
||
amazed: "One? All of them!"...
|
||
|
||
Seriously. I do not agree with you. If 99% of admins are against your opinion
|
||
you still might be right, but the probabilities are *very* low.
|
||
And if you want to be shown something you really steal when breaking in,
|
||
then two things:
|
||
CPU cycles. Others have to pay for them and you don't pay. (Yes, even
|
||
universities have a theoretical value for CPU hours and if they sell
|
||
time to companies they have to pay for it, even if the ordinary user,
|
||
e.g. an employee of the univ, or a student doesn't have to pay, and it
|
||
seems free.)
|
||
You yourself mentioned that you might break in just to use a compiler
|
||
you do not have access to. Well, wherever you break in and they have that
|
||
compiler, they have paid for it. (It might be a free software, but I don't
|
||
think so, since in that case you likely would have to access to it.) So
|
||
if they paid for it then you are using other's property without their
|
||
permission.
|
||
These are just two examples and I'm sure there are more.
|
||
|
||
I do hope that in time you'll realize that you are mistaken - at least in
|
||
the opinion of 99% of the admins.

Hmmm.... I'm having a little trouble with that. I've got the 3.1 X server

|

colour to work, that's all. I've got an S3 with 2Meg of VRAM but the server
|
||
complains about my "normal" RAMDAC. I'm sure my RAMDAC is capible of more
|
||
than that.... Could someone point out what I'm missing in my XF86config?
|
||
|
||
You need to specify the RAMDAC. Evidentally the X server isn't
|
||
detecting it. On my board (an Actix GraphicsEngine UltraPlus S3
|
||
card), The X server would hang because it couldn't figure out the
|
||
RAMDAC. Try running SuperProbe to see what kind of ramdac you have, &
|
||
then put the apropriate command in your XF86Config file. I'd tell you
|
||
the command, but I've only installed 3.1 at home & I'm at work now.
|
||
In any case, the man pages (either for XF86Config, or for XF86_S3)
|
||
should document the exact command.
|
||
|
||
Also, to get 16bit color, I had trouble getting the line directly to X
|
||
via startx. The command "startx -- -bpp 16" didn't work - I still
|

ended up with 8 bit color. Finally, I started the X server by hand

using "X -bpp 16", & then switched back to a console, where I set my

DISPLAY variable & started the window manager. I then got 16bpp

color.

Good luck,

If you have Linux in mind and if "performance" has to include "features",
|
||
there is only one choice today. Guess which. ;-)
|
||
|
||
A busmaster DMA SCSI controller can save you some CPU time; on the
|
||
other hand, you can get much more than the maximum double speed transfer
|
||
rate across a cheap ISA "proprietary" interface.

Just

cd /usr/X11R6

untar the archives (they will go into /usr/X11R6 and not disturb your

Remember to add "/usr/X11R6/lib" into /etc/ld.so.conf and to run

Use one of the autoprobed addresses (0x300, 0x320, 0x340, 0x360) or use
|
||
the LILO command line
|
||
.... sbpcd=0x3??,LaserMate

where 0x3?? is your real address. I am telling about that on your

my dx-2-66 at 80 will run very cool. the fan itself is metal cased, hence
|

it disperses heat into itself and the fan Sucks air away from the cpu, no

need to blow dust down :)
|

maybe you need to get a new motherboard that is design with heat sink

more in mind?
