Re: [SLE] xntpd does not sync to time server

Thanks for the answers so far: > you use IP address 127.x.x.x > is this range not reserved? Yes, for the local clock of the xntp server :-) 127.127.1.0 by definition is the computer's own clock. > Comment out the server line with 127... > Just leave two or three lines with > server bla.clock.se > server xxx.clock.de etc... 1) this is against the documentation as well as common sense (ok we're dealing with computers here :-) ). If the time server goes down, xntpd can't even synchronise locally because it's disabled. I hate tot hink what would happen... 2) I tried it anyway, and instead of syncing to LOCAL, xntpd sync to nothing. > Check for servers near you, its in the docs... Yes thanks we have a stratum 1 server across campus... > Works for me. You have more luck. I'll stay with RH6.0 xntpd...

Re: [SLE] Lilo Error Message-->Warning: BIOS drive 0x82 may not be accessible
by kuhlmav＠elec.canterbury.ac.nz 30 Sep '99

> Subject: [SLE] Lilo Error Message-->Warning: BIOS drive 0x82 may not be > accessible > Does anyone know what this error message means. > It appears after I run lilo to install a new kernel. It means that you have a serious problem loading the kernel from your IDE disks. I have had the same error with this setup. Note it's an error, not a warning. Ignoring it renders the system unbootable. 2 SCSI disks, under DOS (and motherboard BIOS) these are 0x80 and 0x81. Everything fine - had a running system for years. Then I needed more space, and because SCSI disks are just too $$ I got an IDE one (which is when the trouble started, but that's a different story). I left everything as it was, as it was working well. Why shift the kernel and risk bad things? Fine under linux, no problem whatsoever. linux doesn't care whether the disk is IDE or SCSI and where it is, it just goes. However, for LILO, things are DOS (i.e. braindead). The motherboard and/or SCSI card assign drive numbers 0x80 and 0x81 to the SCSI disks, and the IDE disk gets 0x82. When LILO figures out the drive numbers for its loader, it decides the motherboard assigns 0x80 to the IDE disks and 0x81and 0x82 to the SCSI disks. Bummmer. The whole LILO thing just went bang. Can't no do. Arguing with the motherboard BIOS is a waste of time, and LILO doesn't have an option to force it into submission. There is absolutely no way with LILO to make it access 0x81 instead of 0x82 (though an option for doing this would be nice). I emailed the LILO author about this but never even got a response. The LILO warning is strictly speaking correct "MAY not be accessible". True for some cases. However, all disks are accessible here. Just not with the same number as LILO wants them to be. Here is a way around it. It only works if none of the kernels are on the IDE disk. Trick: make LILO believe disks are as it wants them to be. In this case, the IDE on 0x80 has to disappear. Reboot the normal kernel, or any kernel which is still going (floppy if need be). Start with "linux ide0=noprobe" (assuming your kernel image is called "linux". This diables the IDE bus. Boot, run lilo. reboot, and things are fine. Volker And oh, don't install/update any rpms which run lilo as part of their post-install script.
