Looking a few lines up in the code using "ftape" seems like a possible choice
|
||
for a deviceID, it compiled and there must be a reason for including it in the
|
||
kernel - some 'ps -show_use_irq_and_dma_switch' perhaps.

Hi,
|

|

I'm having trouble with running an Xterm-session from another non-Linux
|
||
machine. An Xterm started from an Interactive Server with option
|
||
'-display linux:0' shows nearly all lowercase letters as uppercase letters
|
||
with the exception of the characters [klmq]. Everything works fine when I
|
||
start 'xclipboard' displaying on my screen. The tty-translations are switched
|
||
off (-iuclc -olcuc).
|
||
|
||
Any help would be greatly appreciated

It hangs so bad, that you cannot login from one of the other
|
||
consoles & kill the process? If this is true, then it would
|
||
suggest a hardware problem, not nessisarily a linux-shit problem.
|
||
At least your hardware may not be compatible. Are you using
|
||
Slackware 2.0? Unfortunately, the solution to your problem
|
||
is to stop crashing when you run X. You have provided no
|
||
information about your kernel, distrubition # XFree86
|
||
version, or any of your configuration. I suggest that
|
||
this is why you got no help in the other group.

You can always login as root by booting with the install disks & manualy
|

mounting your linux drive. Then you can go & see what is left...

"There is one situation in which you do not want _sync_ to be executed,

|

So use the -n option to shutdown: "shutdown -rn"

At least this is what is needed for some Un*x systems, I do not know if

it is needed for Linux in particular. Good Luck! And please, only post

My question is, is there one of these :cards that you plug into your

i.e part of the next field are also included.

So I will rather use awk '{print $1}' instead of cut i.e

kill -9 `ps wxa | fgrep "slip" | awk '{print $1}'`

If you've got an AMI bios -like I do- go to the ADVANCED CHIPSET SETUP

and set up a matching interrupt for:

1. INTA#
|

2. the PCI slot your SCSI contoller sits in *_AND_*

It seems that slackware doesn't come with the transports, routers, etc. files
|
||
configured for your system. These files have to taylored for your local needs.
|
||
Some systems use smart_hosts and some keep their own maps. I haven't checked
|
||
the HOWTO files to see if it has any more information. It would be nice
|
||
if they somehow had a default configuration so smail worked after the install.
|
||
Hope this helps.

The 3c503 init routines probes for your net adapter first at i/o address
|
||
0x2e0 (which is not successful), the at address 0x310 (where it actually
|
||
resides). Hence the adapter is this time detected, and the routine grabs
|
||
its RAM address range, which spans from 0xdc000 to 0xddfff.

Subject: HORRIBLE SWAP THRASHING BUG(feature?) (please try this)
|

Date: 5 Sep 1994 12:59:17 -0400
|
||
|
||
|
||
HORRIBLE SWAP THRASHING BUG (please try this)
|
||
|
||
A simple program that runs consistantly in ~1.25min on my
|
||
SGI 33Mhz r3k Indigo completely ruins my Linux box.
|
||
Please run the short program "thrash" (see end) and let me know
|
||
how it performs on your system...for me this is a
|
||
serious problem.
|
||
|
||
Will adding more memory make the situation better? How much more?
|
||
Will another Linux release behave better?
|
||
|
||
Thanks.
|

Configuration:
|
||
Linux 1.1.48
|
||
P90 PCI
|
||
16M ram
|
||
>80Mbytes swap (1 18M partition, 4 16M files)
|
||
|
||
Symptoms:
|
||
1. run "thrash" once (~4min)...everything is okay
|
||
2. run "thrash" again (~1 hour!) ... system is very sluggish
|
||
3. run "thrash" again (> ~1 hour!) ... nothing runs, locked
|
||
|
||
Directions:
|
||
0. Compile "thrash"
|
||
gcc -O2 -m486 thrash.c -o thrash
|
||
|
||
1. Make a big file (~100Mbytes) :
|
||
dd if=/dev/zero of=bigfile bs=1024 count=100000
|
||
|
||
2. run "thrash"
|
||
time thrash bigfile
|
||
|
||
3. run "thrash"
|
||
time thrash bigfile
|
||
|
||
4. run "thrash"
|
||
time thrash bigfile
|
||
|
||
5. if you get this far send me email and tell me why!

simply compiled it out of the box so I probably missed a configuration file -

perhaps you can tell me how to make it require longer passwords.
