config_file for more than one file
by Stefan Weigel 13 May '03

13 May '03

Hi! I want to setup a lot of files. I've tested this with two exmaples: [..] <files config:type="list"> <config_file> <file_path>/etc/profile.local</file_path> <file_contents> <![CDATA[ # /etc/profile.local PS1='$LOGNAME@`hostname`:[`pwd`] (\!): ' alias ll='ls -al' alias lg='ls -al | more' alias lt='ls -alt' alias pg='more' set -o vi ]]> </file_contents> <file_path>/etc/bash.bashrc.local</file_path> <file_contents> <![CDATA[ # /etc/profile.local PS1='$LOGNAME@`hostname`:[`pwd`] (\!): ' alias ll='ls -al' alias lg='ls -al | more' alias lt='ls -alt' alias pg='more' set -o vi ]]> </file_contents> </config_file> </files> [..] But only the last file I found on the harddisk. What's happening ?

install network interface card
by Peter J.M. van Tulder 11 May '03

11 May '03

Who can help me? I cannot reach the internet with SuSE Linux!!!!!! :-( I'm anxious to change from windows to Linux, but in spite of all my efforts I did not succeed in getting SuSE Linux 7.3 working. The basic installation was no problem at all. YaST2 worked fine and configuring most of my hardware was fixed in a minute, except for: * At first my ISDN-adapter (Eicon Diva 2.01 ISA) was only partly recognized by SuSE 7.3, so I could not reach the internet and I had to manage again with windows. * Recently I changed to ADSL / ethernet LAN, using a Sweex LANCard ethernet card and an Alcatel SpeedTouch 510i router modem to access the internet. Again I tried to install SuSE Linux 7.3. This time the Sweex LANCard could not be configured (inactive) in SuSE Linux 7.3. I thought to have found the solution to my problem on the website of Sweex: a driver file to be used with Linux kernel 2.4.x.: 'mtd80x-linux-2.4.x.tgz' was tested with SuSE Linux 7.2, so it should also work with SuSE 7.3. However, the textfile with instructions to install this driver in SuSE Linux 7.3 was not complete. ************************************************************************ ******************************* * I really hope that someone can help me to install the Linux driver for my network card. * ************************************************************************ ******************************* According to the Sweex instructions, the following steps should be followed: 1. Copy 'mtd80x-linux-2.4.x.tgz' to /tmp 2. tar -zxvf mtd80x-linux-2.4.x.tgz (uncompress) A new (sub)directory 'linux-2.4.x' was created with the following files: * kern_compat.h * Makefile * mtd80x.c * pci-scan.c * pci-scan.h * Readme.txt (Of course these 2 steps are clear and gave no problem!) 3. Make network adapter driver modules via: touch * make clean make ---> After 'make clean' I got the following message: make: *** No rule to make target 'clean'. Stop. The instructions in the text file mentioned that a file 'version.h' is expected. ---> But this file is not present in the created subdirectory 'linux-2.4.x' when used with SuSE Linux 7.2 / 7.3. For SuSE Linux you have to run 'make config' or 'make menuconfig' at /usr/src/linux to create it. ---> My problem is that I don't have a subdirectory '/usr/src/linux'. Where can I find/create the file 'version.h'? Who knows? 4. After step 3 the network adapter driver modules should be inserted via: insmod pciscan.o insmod mtd80x.o ---> Where should those driver modules be placed (in which subdirectory?). 5. Bind your card to an IP address ifconfig eth0 (IPADDR) netmask (NETMASK) -> ('ifconfig eth0 10.0.0.150 netmask 255.255.255.0' should do the job) 6. Now you should be able to ping the local network But: every time you reboot the system, you must execute step 4 and 5 again to bind your card :-( I would be very happy if someone can give me some hints! (I would even more happy if YaST2 could configure my network ethernet adapter card automatically (although I understand that it is not possible to integrate all network adapter cards on the market in SuSE Linux YaST2. However Linux is worthless nowadays if you cannot access the internet!!!) Thanks, Peter

Hello there! I try to set up a fully automated installation for SuSE 8.1. So far my autoinstallation works really good!

How was the downloadable grubfloppy image created? I ask because I want to try to make a floppy that contains a grub that supports the e1000 NIC (using patch from http://mail.nongnu.org/archive/html/bug-grub/2003-03/msg00051.html). Thanks. -Eric

Swap Partition as LV
by Stefan Weigel 05 May '03

05 May '03

Hi! I'm configuring the way like that: [..] <lv> <lv_name>swaplv</lv_name> <lv_size>2024Mb</lv_size> <lv_fs>swap</lv_fs> <lv_mount>swap</lv_mount> </lv> [..] But there's no partiton for swap in my LV. Instead I have an extra partition as swap partition with a size of 8Mb. pdfwandler:/ # cat /proc/partitions major minor #blocks name rio rmerge rsect ruse wio wmerge wsect wuse running use aveq 58 0 8388608 lvma 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 48 0 53133312 rd/c0d0 0 236213 2761498 0 0 80000 1035090 0 161532 1333672 26689095 48 1 56196 rd/c0d0p1 0 3613 7416 0 0 52 130 0 108 1325562 14237192 48 2 8032 rd/c0d0p2 0 6 32 0 0 0 0 0 4 1325562 5264288 48 3 53062695 rd/c0d0p3 0 232379 2753562 0 0 79948 1034960 0 161391 1325552 12558222 22 0 393900 hdc 305 16164 66710 32260 0 0 0 0 132 1297972 28683426 pdfwandler:/ # cat /etc/fstab /dev/system/rootlv / ext3 defaults 1 1 /dev/rd/c0d0p1 /boot ext2 defaults 1 2 /dev/rd/c0d0p2 swap swap pri=42 0 0 devpts /dev/pts devpts mode=0620,gid=5 0 0 proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 usbdevfs /proc/bus/usb usbdevfs noauto 0 0 /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom auto ro,noauto,user,exec 0 0 /dev/dvd /media/dvd auto ro,noauto,user,exec 0 0 /dev/fd0 /media/floppy auto noauto,user,sync 0 0 What am I doing wrong ?

installing from custom cd - can't find autoinst.xml
by Stefan Weigel 02 May '03

Hi! I've created a custom boot cd. If I boot from this cd, I will prompt to specify the location of the autoinst.xml. But this file is on top of the created cd. Any ideas ?
