I had this problem and it turned out to be a poorly terminated scsi chain. I bought a $30 active terminator, plugged it into the end of the chain, and now everything is fine. -----Original Message----- From: bob gordon <bob100(a)ibm.net> To: Hubert Mantel <mantel(a)suse.de> Cc: suse-linux-e(a)suse.com <suse-linux-e(a)suse.com> Date: Monday, November 09, 1998 2:57 PM Subject: RE: [SuSE Linux] Re: 2940U2W > > >On 09-Nov-98 Hubert Mantel wrote: >> >> Hi, >> >> On Sat, Nov 07, bob gordon wrote: >> >>> I have an Adaptec 2940U2W.

[SuSE Linux] SO50, glibc2 2.0.7, SuSE 5.3?
by hattons＠CPKWEBSER5.ncr.disa.mil 10 Nov '98

10 Nov '98

I would have searched the archives before I posted, but it seems there are none for the last month. Has anybody upgraded their glibc2 to run SO50? I looked at the readme which said it wanted to do nasty things to my /lib/ld-linux.so.2. I don't understand this stuff well enough to tell the SO install script to force the installation. It seems to me the thing to do is to upgrade my glibc2 for the whole OS and not just for SO. What should I do. BTW is it reasonable to wait until SuSE 6.0 is out? Will that fix all of this for me?

[SuSE Linux] How to compile Apache+Perl+PHP3
by eivindo＠bgnett.no 10 Nov '98

10 Nov '98

I've been trying to compile Apache with Perl-support and PHP3-support, but to no avail. I want to compile it in a way that will allow me to easily install it over the Apache 1.3.0 distribution that comes with SuSE Linux 5.3. I am perhaps what you might call a semi-newbie.. ;-) I'm using: Apache 1.3.3 from <A HREF="http://www.apache.org/dist/apache_1.3.3.tar.gz"><A HREF="http://www.apache.org/dist/apache_1.3.3.tar.gz</A">http://www.apache.org/dist/apache_1.3.3.tar.gz</A</A>> PHP3 3.0.5 from <A HREF="http://no.php.net/distributions/php-3.0.5.tar.gz"><A HREF="http://no.php.net/distributions/php-3.0.5.tar.gz</A">http://no.php.net/distributions/php-3.0.5.tar.gz</A</A>> mod_perl 1.16 from <A HREF="http://perl.apache.org/dist/mod_perl-1.16.tar.gz"><A HREF="http://perl.apache.org/dist/mod_perl-1.16.tar.gz</A">http://perl.apache.org/dist/mod_perl-1.16.tar.gz</A</A>> I've tried reading the INSTALL/README files in each of these archives, but I'm not getting any wiser, so I'm hoping someone could lead me in the right direction. For all I know, I might even be barking up the wrong tree. -- Eivind Olsen - eivindo(a)bgnett.no - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo(a)suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e

It sounds like the program named is trying to run "named" as user "named" instead of user "root". I'm not sure how that would happen, but what-the-hey!

[SuSE Linux] Drive Problem

I have found a bad block that e2fsck can't fix for some reason or another. It is marked as in use and won't be mapped out. Are there any other alternative utilities that I might run to fix the filesystem? I've tried all of the pertinant modes of e2fsck.

[SuSE Linux] SuSE 5.3 initial boot failure
by jpg＠hpcvsjpg.cv.hp.com 09 Nov '98

09 Nov '98

In the process of installing SuSE 5.3 on another computer (HP Kayak XU) and after successfully going through the complete install, Yast, and configuring LILO. Rebooted the system. Everything looks good during the boot, up until right after the partition check, below is the console output during boot, at the point of failure. ===================================== Partition check: sda: sda1 sdb: sdb1 sdb2 sdb3 VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem) readonly. Unable to open an initial console ===================================== At this point the system hangs. Any clues as to what went wrong with my install???

But to be able to run it you *must* symblink it from /sbin/init.d/rc2.d and rc3.d. all scripts there reffer to runlevel 2 or 3 (x-win). give it a high number, cause all scripts are started in numerical order. (S??scripts). Its a *bad* idea to fetchmail before the network has started. The symlink has to be in both rc2.d and rc3.d. About starting the network, how do you connect to the internet? to use my suggestion, this requires either a direct link or sort of preconfigured dial up like I use with my ISDN connection. If you have to establish a modem connection first, I'd suggest some sort of cron job that fetches mail once only it is called. This is a practicable solution if you have a permanent i-net connection as well, the job would just differ.
