I sent in my subscription request (to start with 6) in mid-January, and I haven't received anything yet either.

[SuSE Linux] kernel 2.2.1 on stock SuSE6.0 problems
by myfish＠dial.pipex.com 14 Feb '99

14 Feb '99

Hi again. Made the jump to 6.0,and have had a few probs. Most are solved now,but its still very buggy. I have compiled a new 2.0.36 kernel under 6.0 and this runs with no problem. However,i can also compile a 2.2.1 with no problem. It will not run though. I thought that suse6.0 was 2.2 ready ??.guess it is with modification ??.What mods though ??. Here is what happens..... ************************************************************* no device hda request_module[block-major-3]:root fs not mounted VFS:Cannot open root device 03:01 Kernel panic:VFS:Unable to mount root fs on 03:01 ************************************************************* I have two IDE udma drives.hda and hdc,/boot is below lilo limit. hdb is an atapi cdrom.all works fine with a 2.0 series kernel. all filesystem types that i have and use are accounted for. That is all i can tell you,cause its not getting logged in any way. I have built kernels before,and i have read the docs,and from what i read,[block-major-4] is defunct as are cua devices. i do have hda devices in /dev. So whats the score,lots of you have built 2.2.1,so what am i doing wrong ??. and what do we do with all those defunct(in 2.2.1)devs ??. And if i want to use a 2.0.36 as a tried and trusted kernel and i do,then is removing stuff advisable ??. -- Keith White. - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo(a)suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e Check out the SuSE-FAQ at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A">http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A</A>> and the archiv at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A">http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A</A>>

[SuSE Linux] 5.3 boot error
by scurran＠aracnet.net 14 Feb '99

14 Feb '99

I rebooted my running 5.3 and it stopped at the hda3 partition. This is my / partition Messages "hda3 contains a file system with errors, check forced" It then booted into read-only and instructed me to run fsdck I followed the instructions but still get the same message. When running the fsdck I get the following "EXT2-fs error (device 03:03) ext2_check_inodes_bitmap: wrong free inodes count in superblock stored=755269, counted-755268 EXT2_fs error (device 03:03):ext2_check_inodes_bitmap: stored=1981, counted=1983 in group 27 the same for another superblock 1907389 and 1907399" I have run the recommended remedy twice with no improvement. I cannot delete 5.3 and reload. I get the message that hda3 is mounted. For some reason I also can't get my fd0 to run as an emrgency boot disc. The computer ignores it. Even though it is first on the boot sequence. How do I fix this or get my 5.3 wiped?

[SuSE Linux] char-major-4 in 2.2.X
by cjs＠imt.net 14 Feb '99

14 Feb '99

For all of you who have this come up lots times when booting it is because you have compiled serial support into your kernel and therefore do not need setserial to autodetect the ports and set them up so to fix this remove all entries in /sbin/init.d/rcX.d of SXXserial and KXXserial but I would suggest leaving the serail script in /sbin/init.d alone so if needed it can be used again. And if you care not to delete all those symbolic links just add a line like the following to /etc/rc.config at the end of the file: # KERNEL_SERIAL="yes" # # Does the current Kernel have serial capabilities compiled in? # Added 02-10-1999 C Johnson then add the following to your /sbin/init.d/serial after the comments and ". /etc/rc.config": # # this test the rc.config var to see if we should run this script # base=${0##*/} link=${base#*[SK][0-9][0-9]} test $link = $base && KERNEL_SERIAL=yes test "$KERNEL_SERIAL" = yes || exit 0 # # Added by C Johnson 02-10-1998 Your all very welcome in advanced!! -- Carl Johnson Sys Admin cjs(a)cj-solutions.com |_| |_| | |\/--- | |\ | | | \/ | NIKE | | | \| |__| /\ |______| _______________ ____ | OH SHIT IT's | |..| --| LINUX!!! | |__| |_______________| |\/| icro$oft "Watch Linux walk all over Micro$oft" | | /||\ /\ - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo(a)suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e Check out the SuSE-FAQ at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A">http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A</A>> and the archiv at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A">http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A</A>>
