[SuSE Linux] SuSE 6.0 Killed My Machine! "Spawning too fast ..."
by jsnorman＠megsinet.net 27 Feb '99

27 Feb '99

After three weeks of trying, I finally got SuSE "successfully" installed.** Unfortunately, when I boot, INIT kills my machine requiring a hard-wired reset. Here is basically what happens (can't get the exact error message since Linux for me right now is very dead!) INIT: Id 0 spawning too fast! disabled for 5 minutes INIT: Id 1 spawning too fast! disabled for 5 minutes [etc. through Id 6] Well, that sucks. I wait five minutes by the way, and I get the same error message. The machine is completely locked up in the interim (still in single user mode). PLEASE HELP IF YOU CAN!!!!!! I have many many config, data, etc files that I do not wish to reintegrate which I will have to do if I reinstall. Hardware is: AMD K6-2 300Mhz @100Mhz bus 96MB RAM (PC-100) ATI Rage Pro AGP w/8MB AdvanSys Ultra SCSI SCSI hard drives (2x) with Linux on the second hard drive in logical/extended partitions Zip SCSI PD/CD-ROM SCSI optical disk (note: no ide devices/ide disabled in BIOS) AWE32 PnP sound (probably irrelevant since I've tried new and old kernals with no sound support compiled in) USB scanner (again, probably irrelevant since no USB support). **Note in history: SuSE repeateadly failed in its install fatally beause it couldn't replace C News. Though Yast failed, it nonetheless tried to "commit" the installation creating huge problems (e.g., system wouldn't boot since many files missing/wrong version, etc.). This led to a couple of system lockups and hard resets, after which e2kfs found many hard drive errors. Somehow, after all that, SuSE finally managed to install itself when I selected "replace everything". - 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 archive 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] KPPP for SUSE 6.0 dying unexpectedly
by andrew＠akroll.com 27 Feb '99

27 Feb '99

I'm having trouble with my KPPP for SUSE 6.0. Under 5.3 it worked like a charm, but this version is giving me a little trouble. I set it up as I did under the previous version. I'm using a local ISP, so all I had to set was the login ID and DNS settings--everything else was the default (as it was under SUSE 5.3). I tried telling it to use CHAP, SCRIPT BASED, PAP, Etc. Nothing works. It dials out just fine, but as soon as it connects, it comes back with a message that says "PPP daemon died unexpectedly". Does anyone have a clue as to why? I'm very anxious to get this working because as soon as I do, I can delete my Redhat 5.2 partition. Thanks everyone. --Andrew Kroll - 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 archive 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] Confused about how to upgrade 5.3 to shiny new v6
by dominic_mcdonald_aveyard＠yahoo.com 27 Feb '99

27 Feb '99

Hey there me again, OK, so I looked through the 5 manual to the part describing the upgrade process for exisiting 5.3 users and it didn't make much sense to me. Especially the bit about linking apps to the new compiler thingy. Anyways... I just want to install Staroffice, maybe the new kernel if performance is better, netscape 4.5 and I would have to install the new glibc (or whatever its called) thing to use staroffice right? Whats the easiest thing to do? Is there an easy way to upgrade those isolated bits? or should I just reinstall?. I think the version of K with 5.3 is the same as the version with 6... or is the 6 K a good upgrade? I am concerned about reinstaling completely since ppp works right now, and I know that some of you have had problems with that since installing 6. Sorry if this all sounds really silly, its just all still really new. I have to say the 6 box looks much prettier than the 5.3 one at least IMHO. Anyways, as ever your advice is very much appreciated. Give me a while and I'll be able to actually help answer something, I hope... :-) Cheers!

[SuSE Linux] Soundblaster Live!
by yatsen-ng＠cistron.nl 27 Feb '99

27 Feb '99

I have a Sound Blaster Live! card which I'm trying to set up. First, I configured the kernel with the right settings. The only thing I changed was the IRQ; I had to reset it to 5. All the other settings were correct. After that I recompiled and installed the kernel. That's about it. Am I missing something? - 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 archive 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] PCI Modem configuration
by yatsen-ng＠cistron.nl 27 Feb '99

<PRE> I have an E-Tech PCI 56k internal modem which I'm trying to configure. I used minicom to create a configuration file. I set the serial device to /dev/ttyS2 since my modem is on the third serial port. The speed is set to 115200bps (Baud/Par/Bits: 115200 8N1). I saved the setup as default and tried to test my modem. I didn't get an OK prompt in the terminal. Oh yes, I also set the modem to the correct port with YaST during the installation.
