Hi all, I'm working on an old 486/33 getting SuSE 6.3 to run on it. After about a week I've got it to load everything (more or less). Now when I try to boot it it stops at "Setting up the CMOS clock" At this point it hangs and there's nothing I can do but a hard reset. Any ideas? TIA!

SuSE 6.2 suddenly starts eating memory

Message-ID: <1100D69203AAD2118E3C00508B8B9E8A17094B(a)mailhost.intech.unu.edu> From: "Heupink, Mourik Jan C." <Heupink(a)INTECH.UNU.EDU> Date: Wed, 15 Nov 2000 14:44:58 +0100 Subject: SuSE 6.2 suddenly starts eating memory I have a question for you guys. I upgraded the following packages: (from suse ftp site) aaa_base, cron, gpm, libc, mod_perl, perl & shlibs. I closed the following ports (in initd.conf) time (), time (), http-rman, btx, swat & midinetd >From this moment on (could of course be coincidence) the machine started to 'eat' ram. That is: after a reboot is claims (top) to have 54000K used, and 74000 free. (approx.) The used number from then on starts to increase. Rebooted yesterday, and within 10 hours used memory was above 110000K, used swap memory started to increase. But the machine was only being used as a web server, and it was not busy at all. (there was really nothing much going on) If I don't reboot the server, it crashes after a while. (we have been experiencing complete crashes, lately. I assume now that these were caused by this memory problem) (now I've always rebooted before there was no memory left, because a crashed server means: rebuilding the raid partition, etc) We've had two crashes in a week, since these upgrades/adjustments. (nt runs more stable, now!!) More info: it a Compaq prosignia, software raid [old mdutils], 128M internal memory (it needs the mem=128M kernel parameter), root is normal fs2, /home is raid1. It used as a web server, dhcp server, it's also running samba. Kernel 2.2.17. SuSE 6.2. Well, that's about it, I guess. Please, any information will be appreciated.

Are these "pristine" or have they been in any way tweaked by SuSE for their distribution ? If there are tweaks, I wish to find out what they are. Where do I get this information ? With thanks Cliff

IPchains : suggestion for Alias ?

Hi all, Just started to learn and read about firewall, ipchains, masquerading etc.....; Everything gets mixed up. So be very indulgent with this maybe stupid suggestion/question: Could it be possible to make aliaswords for the word ipchains being able to differentiate masquerading, firewall, packet filtering; for example : ipmasquerade -P forward DENY meaning the same as ipchains -P forward DENY ( just for masquerading ) ippacketfiltering ........... meaning ipchains ............ for packet filtering for example in the beginning of a .conf file $ipmasquerade = ipchains $ippacketfiltering = ipchains Thanks for any suggestion filip Powered by SUSE 7 vhf(a)skynet.be

Is there anything special that must be done in order to use an AMD Thunderbird 1000 sanely w/ Linux? I've had crazy problems thus far w/ a Thunderbird running SuSE 6.2+kernel 2.2.17. The motherboard is the MS-6340 Micro-ATX VA mainboard w/ VIA KT133 chipset. and the damn thing has locked up solid already while in X. Also which bootdisk from 6.2 should be used w/ Thunderbird boxes for installation purposes? Booting from 6.2 CD#1 causes a kernel panic with a nice stack dump. Any help will be appreciated! -- 6:20pm up 1 day, 19:28, 7 users, load average: 0.00, 0.01, 0.00 Keith Warno [h]<pr0n(a)optonline.net> || [w]<keith.warno(a)valaran.com>
