Error loading ramdisk

From: Helgi Örn <eagleice(a)post.netlink.se> Date: Wed, 15 Nov 2000 14:01:18 +0100 Message-Id: <00111514045603.01321@Kattholt> Subject: Error loading ramdisk Greetings to all of you SuSEr's! I have this disturbing problem with a computer I have at work; it's a dual-boot Win98/Caldera eDesktop 2.4 box but I'd like to put SuSE 7.0, Debian 2.2, or even Mandrake 7.2 there instead of Caldera and here's the problem: After having tryed almost all of the most common Linux dists (each dist in several versions, old & new) on the market, the only one that would/will install on this particular box is Caldera (both 2.3 & 2.4) with the help of 'Lisa' the text-mode installer program. All of the other dists just hang on me, they freeze when; 'loading second stage ramdisk' or 'reading description files' in the beginning of the installation process. If at all they manage to shoot up a message before they die it's something like; 'error loading ramdisk' 'mount failed: Invalid argument' 'Base system unknown' I have tryed to adjust the BIOS in all the different ways, and also put it into 'original configuration' but without any luck. This is the hardware: Two IDE harddisks, the first is 6GB with Win98 on 3GB and Linux on 3GB, the second is 2GB where we save all the work files from Windows. Note: I haven't been able to make Linux read the second hd, I've tryed with hdb and hdb1 in fstab...:-(Any advice on that?) Intel Pentium PCI 64MB RAM S3VIRGE with 2MB video RAM Typical 15 inch monitor (Teco information systems) Any solution possible? Any other method to install SuSE 7.0 than the one I use (from cd-rom after booting with floppy) to get by this problem? Grateful for all the hints I can get Cheers, ei -- @~~ EagleIce ~ gnu4u(a)linux.nu ~~@ @~~ Running GNU/Linux & KDE ~~@

Re: [SLE] What is a segmentation fault?

From: Eilert Brinkmann <eilert(a)Informatik.Uni-Bremen.DE> Date: 15 Nov 2000 13:53:09 +0100 Message-ID: <xttk8a5wg5m.fsf(a)dominion.informatik.uni-bremen.de> Subject: Re: [SLE] What is a segmentation fault? "Stan Koper" wrote: > What are segmentation faults, what causes them, and how can I avoid/get rid > of them? A segmentation fault is caused by a process violating it's virtual address space (which consists of a number of "segments", hence the name), i.e., - accessing addresses outside of it's virtual address space or - violating access restrictions (i.e., writing to a memory-page that is marked readl-only). In this cases the kernel sends a signal (SIGSEGV = signal segmentation violation) to the process in question. A program can catch such signals and do own error handling, but that's unusual with SIGSEGV as this signal is typically caused a bug in the program itself. By default a process receiving SIGSEGV terminates (with a coredump, if possible). Since segmentation faults usually result from a program error, you can't do too much as a normal user. You can report errors to the maintainers and keep your software installations up to date. If you have programming experiences and access to the source code, you might try to find and fix the bug yourself ;-) However, in many cases such errors show up only with a specific configuration or command line options. In such cases it could be possible to avoid the error by changing this parameters, but that would be only a workaround, not a solution for the problem itself.

Make Question (Network Card)

It comes with a tgz file that you extract, then run make. The whole process went smoothly on my Caldera 2.4 system. I believe the card is correctly installed at this time. On my SuSE system, however, when I type "make," it goes for a while, then gives this message: make: *** No rule to make target `/usr/src/linux/drivers/net/8390.h', needed by `ne2k-pci.o'. Stop. What does this mean, and is there anything I can do about it? I tried downloading the latest version from the Linksys site, and it did the same thing.
