Re: [SLE] Problem Installing 6.2

My initial thinking with 6.1 was the kernel and was hoping that the problem had been corrected with the updated kernel in 6.2. I hate to have to break down and get a new machine since this one has been so good to me. Sounds ugly :(. I have a couple of questions for you, though. Have you ever tried running one of the 2.2 kernels from the 6.1 or 6.2 disks on your 6.0 box? I've used all three of them, 2.2.5, 7, and 10 on a 6.0 machine and it's truly a drop-in solution. Simply install the lx_suse RPM or linux and linclude RPMs, check the symlinks, and go. Trying one of these kernels would narrow it down from an `Installation problem, possibly the kernel' to an `Installation problem, probably YaST'. Try: make mrproper make menuconfig make dep make clean make modules make modules_install make bzImage make bzdisk (with a blank 3.5" floppy inserted, of course :) What happens when you boot from this new floppy? -- -=|JP|=- (Resident GNUbie) Jon Pennington | SuSE Linux 6.2 -o) super-suser(a)excite.com | Kernel 2.2.10 /\\ Kansas City, Missouri | AMD K6-III 450 _\_V ________________________________________________________________ Get FREE voicemail, fax and email at http://voicemail.excite.com Talk online at http://voicechat.excite.com -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe(a)suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help(a)suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/

[SLE] Random Notes ...
by super-suser＠excite.com 01 Nov '99

01 Nov '99

Hi, everyone! Last night I got bored and decided to play with VMWare a little bit. I heard that it was capible of mounting an entire disk partition instead of a loop file, so I thought it'd be worth a try. After a bit of hacking around, playing with various settings, and locking up my PC a couple of times :), I reallized two things: VMWare does not play nice with XiG's X server, and I need VMWare 1.1 to get the above mentioned partition mounting capability. Got the new VMWare, went back to XFree86, and started playing more. After VWMare drilled down through my system, replacing drivers for virtually all of my hardware with it's own `virtual devices', it worked great. With bridged networking, my wife can even use her Juno software over the cable connection :). I still can't get 98SE to stop complaining about misconfigured video (yes, I got all the stuff from the VMWare site), but I consider that only a mild aggrivation. This is totally unrelated, but I found an interesting project in my wanderings today called KBB. It's an offshoot of the BlackBox project, and aims to integrate KDE and BB in a near comlete fashion. It includes a KDE-BB menu converter, a color setting app, a KDE-integrated configuration tool for BB, and (!) kswallow. The most interesting tool for me is kswallow, which swallows the mini-icons for apps like kICQ and kPPP like kPanel does. I've waited for that app for a long time :).

When is it better to include something in the kernel rather than load it as a module (assuming the kernel configuration allows you to load it as a module)? As stated in previous emails, there are certain components that *must* be implemented by the kernel itself, such as the device type and file system that / resides on. In my case, that's IDE disk and ext2fs (as many, many other systems are). If you had, say, an Adaptec 2940 SCSI controller that you / disk was controlled by, you'd need aic7xxx built into the kernel, not as a module. Most other devices, such as other SCSI controllers (even if they are responsible for /home, /usr, or other file systems), ethernet cards, sound cards, or any extraneous IrDA, serial devices, etc, may generally be implemented as modules. Some hardware (though rare) simply cannot be accessed through modules, but the 2.2 kernel does most devices quite nicely. -- -=|JP|=- (Resident GNUbie) Jon Pennington | SuSE Linux 6.2 -o) super-suser(a)excite.com | Kernel 2.2.10 /\\ Kansas City, Missouri | AMD K6-III 450 _\_V ________________________________________________________________ Get FREE voicemail, fax and email at http://voicemail.excite.com Talk online at http://voicechat.excite.com -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe(a)suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help(a)suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/

Okay, but this is my last response ;) > In my reading about linux and compiling kernels I saw somewhere that it is best to use modules for anything that is NOT required to boot the system. So I would support stuff like my network card via a module? The choice is yours, but modular kernel design allows for much more flexibility, enhanced troubleshooting, and (this is important) a smaller core kernel. A (rough) list of my modules: iso9660; For CDs vfat; For /win ide-scsi; For my CD-R, but used on all non-disk IDE devices sg, scsicd; For my Zip ATAPI and CD-R tulip; For my Linksys NIC soundcore, es1371; For my Sound card > But things like ext2 support MUST be compiled directly into the kernel. This is right.
