am I hacked ?
by Damir Buskulic 16 Sep '08

16 Sep '08

Hi, I got some problems (disk access denied, bus errors,...) that led me to go into single user mode and fsck my partitions. I noticed then that there were some directories created in the tmp directory, called "dev" and "etc", and one file in the / directory called "success" with 0 length. At reboot, these files disapeared. Does anybody know if this could be a sign of a hacked computer ? I mean could someone have installed a rootkit or some such ? I'm not paranoid but this indeed seems strange.

Has anyone got the Advansys driver working?
by Robert Persson 29 Sep '03

29 Sep '03

Hi. Has anybody managed/not managed to get an Advansys scsi card working in PPC Linux? I have a PM8600 and an Advansys ASB-3940-U2W scsi card. The card works fine under MacOS. Unfortunately this is not the case with Linux. I have tried compiling numerous kernels from various different sources (2.4.20-8d, benh-2.4.22, 2.4.22), both with Advansys support built in and Advansys support as a module, but the same thing always happens. The machine freezes completely. I do not get the problem when the Advansys card has been phyically removed from the machine. I understand that a couple of years ago there was an issue to do with big/little-endianism which prevented the Advansys driver working on PPC machines, but I can't find anything more recent about this. I get the impression that this problem is supposed to have been sorted out. The Advansys website is useless about this, despite some fluffy witterings about their commitment to Linux. I'm not holding out much hope that they will reply to my email. The only thing I can think of left to try is to update the firmware to OSX compatibility, but this would prevent me using the card in MacOS 9, which I don't want to happen. Thanks Robert

installation of 7.0 hangs
by o lewis 17 Sep '03

17 Sep '03

Hello all. I am trying to install 7.0 on the following system: umax c500 running a 603e at 200 mhz.(but with a L2 cache slot g3 card running at 400 mhz) I have 144 mb ram, and I have added a 2 usb/2 firewire pci card. when I try to boot off of the cd the installer seems to work fine until it gets to the scsi cd-rom drive(matshita cd-rom cr 506 with driver version 5.3.1) then the last three lines are scsi:0:mesh, scsi:1 host, mesh:target 3 synchronous at 5.0 mb/s after that last line the system hangs. I have waited as long as 20 minutes and nothing happens. I have tried to boot from a hfs partition but the same result occurs. I also tried downloading the latest version of the ppc kernel and booting from hd, but that had the same result. any help would be greatly appreciated. ===== "With time and patience, the mulberry leaf becomes a silk gown." -Chinese proverb __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

Quoting Will's message 03/09/08 12:20 +0900: [...] >I use FBW disk partitioners and don't recall a problem with them the >last time I installed on an old world machine. >But, Under the mac partitioner, whichever one you use, I think your >supposed to partition one (the first one) as unallocated and the come >back in with the linux install disk and partition the unallocated >space. OK, i can change the order of the partitions, that is no problem. Maybe that will help > It's laid out fairly well in the ydl pdf. I think the SuSE 7.x >manual does a more detailed job of explaining the options. Ah...
