LILO & triple booting

Before I do research on how to do this, it is possible to do this right, on a 2 drive box, with SUSE 8.0 on 1 drive, Debian and 98se splitting the other? I'm already dual booting fwiw.. Thank you for your time.

Wireless PCMCIA in a Desktop: Will Linux Recognize it?
by Dennis J.Tuchler 28 Aug '02

28 Aug '02

I would be thankful for answers to some questions: about wireless cards 1) Re: Wireless Ethernet Cards for Desktops. How does one get Linux to recognize an ethernet card (e.g. a wireless card) that is not on the list of supported cards shown by YAST2? 2) Re: Installing a PCMCIA card onto a Desktop. I understand that one can install a wireless PCMCIA ethernet card in a desktop with the appropriate PCI card. Is there any problem with Linux's recognizing the card under these circumstances? Under Linux 8.0, is there any problem with recognition and use of a wireless PCMCIA? I read the relevant HowTo, but that installed under Debian and I think (guess) an older kernel. Thanks -- dj tuchler dtuchler(a)earthlink.net

(Newbie alert) Zip drive confusion.
by Brian Durant 06 Mar '02

06 Mar '02

Hi all, I have just tried to access my USB 250 Zip drive in SUSE 7.3 Pro, only to receive the following message: "Could not mount device. The reported error was mount /dev/sda4: unknown device." I have checked and ziptool is installed, I have a Zip icon on my desktop, but obviously, something needs to be configured somewhere. I read /usr/share/doc/packages/ziptool/README, but there wasn't any help as far as I could decipher. Any ideas? Cheers, Brian

Hi, Last night i posted message asking on help to aviod my system shutdown by it self. Well put statement suggested in lilo.con in the appriate localtion suggested but jut know the system in question just power off again for no good reason. I am running SuSe 7.1 Kernel 2.4.13 Mantel RPM. 512 MB RAM 10 GB (ReiserFS / ext2 /boot) Matorx Millimum 2 MB (It's work machine ) D-Link 538 TX+ 10/100 MB What noticed this occurs when memory drop below 350 MB the system shutdown when i am going in to X/Gnome. What i find strange is i am running RH 7.1 + Kernel 2.4.13 Kernel.org with exact same MB/RAM/HD/NIC etc.. and all it well with it. I have had this problems since kernel 2.4.0 . I have checked RAM with memtest and it check out i have switched ram from RH 7.1 Box with this one done memory test as well it check out but still occurs. I have always love SuSe but seriously thinking of calling it quit's with this distro. I never any problems with other distro/kernels acting like this. Any ideas :) Alex :)

[SLE] Hard Drive follies
by tjhanson＠home.com 23 Apr '00

23 Apr '00

I upgraded my system and along with the new board, processor, memory, and all that I bought a 30 gig hard drive. I could not get fdisk to see more than 7.9 gigs of it, even though I did all the standard things like flash the bios, use the installation diskette from the manufacturer, etc. The only way I was able to partition the drive was to use the Windows 95 fdisk, with all its limitations including the one from marketing which limits to one primary partition per drive. Eventually I partitioned a 15 gig primary and a 15 gig extended, then changed the type, formatted and gave mount points in YaST. Now there is a 15 gig primary, a Windows extended, with a Linux logical as the only partition there. Cripes. Is there a better way? -- 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/

allo I have been having very annoying problems trying to play audio CDs. I am using SuSE 6.2 and have compiled OSS and SB16 drivers into my kernel (2.2.14pre15) I can play mp3's fine but not CDs I have tried using a mixer to mute and then un-mute the CD player - to no effect I have used different CD playing software, cdp and workman. Neither worked. The CD is read and actually played by both aps but no sound comes out of the speakers. I used to be able to play CDs back in the days of Win32 (ugh) - so I knwo that it is possible.

I just plugged some headphones into the cdrom and I can certainly hear the funky tunes pouring out of the cd player but nothing gets to the speakers... the little grey cable that connects the audio out to the soudn card is well and truly ther and it works fine under Win32 as I said... hope this helps to solve the prob.. -A Abhinav Keswani wrote: > > allo > > I have been having very annoying problems trying to play audio CDs.

[SLE] Masquerading Causing Hair Loss
by jperser＠airmail.net 20 Oct '99

20 Oct '99

Thanks to all those that helped. I'm up and running now. My problem was the IP being specified in the MSQ setup. I was using 192.168.0.0/24 and changing to 192.168.1.0/24 did the trick. Changing the MSQ_DEV from eth0 to ppp0 didn't seem to make any difference. I also had to put the following in my boot.local ipchains -P forward DENY ipchains -A forward -j MASQ -s 192.168.1.0/24 -d 0.0.0.0/0 It was a little frustrating that it took so long to get this working when the steps were so simple. A little 5 Minute Masquerding HowTo on the SuSE site would be useful since I think this is something the majority of people who use Linux want to do. I'm glad that SuSE put the MSQ symbols in the configuration file, it does make it easier once you understand what needs to be done. Again thanks to the great mailing list. Now on to try my Windows98 and Win2K clients, then firewalling!

[SLE] GATEWAY ADDRESS
by jperser＠airmail.net 17 Oct '99

17 Oct '99

I've looked at /etc/route.conf and it has default set to 192.168.1.1 so I assume this is pointing to my IP MASQ machine to resolve a network address. If I try and ftp or ping from this machine to the outside world through my gateway I get "network unreachable". I can get to the network from my gateway without a problem (eg this email). I'm using the 2.0.36 kernel and the following commands to setup the IP MASQ. I've set IP_FORWARDING to yes in rc.config. Anything else I'm obviously missing? I used ipfwadm -F -p deny ipfwadm -F -a m -S 192.168.1.0/24 -D 0.0.0.0/0 Should I forget working with 2.0.36 and upgrade to SuSE 6.2?

[SLE] Kppp,WvDial and the kernel
by yatsen.ng＠brunel.nl 19 Sep '99

Hello everyone, I have a couple of questions that you may be able to help me with: 1) When I try to get online with Kppp as a non-root user I get the much dreaded 'pppd deamon died unexpectedly' message. Why is that? There are no problems with Kppp at all when I go online as root. 2a) After configuring WvDial the following line appears repeatedly when I boot my system; modprobe: Note: /etc/conf.modules is more recent than /lib/modules/2.2.10/modules.dep Does that mean I need to recompile the kernel? b) When using WvDial as a non-root user I get these extra lines during the dialup; -->Warning: Could not modify /etc/ppp/pap-secrets: Permission denied --> --> PAP may be flaky --> --> CHAP may be flaky There are no problems with establishing a connection at all, however. 3) The directory /usr/src contains the following files; linux linux-2.2.10 linux-2.2.10.SuSE packages What can I get rid of when I install a new kernel? I'd really appreciate any kind of help with these issues.
