[SuSE Linux] Bios settings & PnP with 2.2.2 Kernel
by hattons＠CPKWEBSER5.ncr.disa.mil 04 Mar '99

04 Mar '99

I am a bit confused with all the /etc/isapnp.conf, loadable modules, auto loading kernel, /etc/conf.modules, PnP mother boards, and bios settings. I have an ASUS P2B mother board with an AHA2940UW PCI host adapter, a Matrox Mellenium II PCI video card, a SB64 gold sound card, and an ATAPI EIDE CD-ROM drive. I am using oss for my sound driver. It works. I do have a problme with kscd on Kernel 2.2.x, and I keep getting an error saying the system can't find char-major-4. Does anybody know if I should have the: PnP OS feature of the motherboard enabled or disabled? IRQ for the SB in used by ISA or normal mode? The I/O ports and IRQs for the com ports set to the normal com 1 and com 2 settings for wintel? Other settings on the motherboard in any special configuration? isapnp.conf set up to describe the settings of my sound card?

Hi, I have a old HP Colorado T1000 tape backup on my machine which I want to use with arcadeia to do backups. Do I have to rebuild the kernel to get support for this or can I just load some modules?

I looked in /sbin/init.d/* (the various startup files) for references to cuaN and changed each one to ttySN. Then I deleted all the /dev/cuaN files. The system with these changes still works under the 2.0.34 kernel, actually. Hardly elegant, I know!

check /etc/lilo.conf, I found the for some reason suse has a hard link to /boot/vmlinuz-2.0.36 instead of a link to just /boot/vmlinuz that the appropriate links, System.map, and vmlinuz re-run lilo and you'll be fine. ______________________________ Reply Separator _________________________________ Subject: [SuSE Linux] Compiling 2.2 Author: "Yatsen Ng" [SMTP:yatsen-ng@cistron.nl] at BCEEXCH Date: 3/3/99 1:57 PM Maybe someone could help me with the following.

[SuSE Linux] Misleading Yast error message
by abrahams＠valinet.com 03 Mar '99

03 Mar '99

I posted some earlier messages about the problem I had running Yast and attempting to install a .rpm package from an existing directory. The message I got was "could not find the installation directory", which confused me greatly because the directory was right there. The actual problem was that the *contents* of the directory weren't what Yast was expecting, namely, something that resembled an installation CD. This error message really ought to be replaced by a more informative one.
