I assume that you have set the 'START_FW' variable in rc.config to 'yes'. Clifford Okoro Hope is a dangerous thing, it spreads disillusion.

RE: [SLE] A cheap printer?

I have a lexmark Z52 that has now been replaced by the Z53. Lexmark make rpm binary linux drivers and you may be able to pick up a cheap Z52. Or simply go for the new Z53 if Lexmark have the drivers for linux ready. Check out www.lexmark.com The print for the Z52 is okay if printed on good photo paper.

RE: Re: [SLE] Dial on demand

Exactly. I have set this up at least twice. Just finished setting it up for my sister, who lives 1.5 hrs away and only knows windoze. She was amazed at the speed and capabilities of linux as a gateway and dial on demand for her windoze boxes. I used SuSEfirewall2 (1.7), iptables, and wvdial.dod script. It will dial if any windoze simply loads IE and puts in a url. It will automatically hang up after 3 minutes of inactivity. It is really a nice setup. Again, SuSE 7.2 w/SuSEfirewall2 (www.suse.de/~marc), wvdial.dod script and iptables will do EXACTLY what you want. Best, Keith B.

suggestion
by Luis Villaverde 01 Oct '01

01 Oct '01

I think would be a good idea that in next version of SUSE our loved boys of Suse includes a new option in YAST........... Donwload last kernel (approbed by SuSE) recompile it and include it in LILO...... Automatic...... Because I see that many people is asking about "how to upgrade kernel". *********************************************** ** http://twips.com - info(a)twips.com ** ************************************************

SCSI Hard Disk Problems
by Ron Cordell 01 Oct '01

01 Oct '01

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I have a machine that uses an Adaptec 2940U SCSI controller and 3 SCSI drives. The first SCSI drive is a 2.1GB drive that contains Linux. The other 2 drives are Seagate 9GB drives that are used for filesystem storage. The first of the Seagate drives seems to just "go away" after some period of time. The messages log just shows I/O errors that result from the drive no longer being available. If I reboot the machine, I hear the drive spinning up, and it will become operational again. It seems that the drive is taking itself offline, but I don't know why. The machine is a Pentium 266 with 128MB RAM running SuSE 7.1 distro with the 2.4.4-4GB kernel. The SCSI driver is not the new aix-7xxx driver, but the old driver because I had problems with the new driver allowing me to partition and format the drives reliably. Questions: 1. Is there a way to bring the drive back on-line without rebooting the machine? 2. What tools can I use to discover the cause of the problem? 3. As soon as I can get the drive to stay online long enough to make a tape backup of its contents I will replace the drive. Is this an indication that the drive is going bad? Thanks for any help! - -ronc -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.5 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE7t5aZZ+z1OyGYSIwRAmwPAJ4ks0tIMOWoSRxzoguoZ7aGxFLgzgCeJwhN aQudsjlLVg1JWxumjYf5BLc= =nEDb -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

RE: [SLE] SuSE 7.2: Kernel 2.4.7 Update
by Jostein Berntsen 01 Oct '01

01 Oct '01

I have found this to work when compiling SuSE kernels: Actions: make mrproper(deletes your .config, might skip this) make menuconfig make dep clean modules make bzImage modules_install bzlilo Then your new bzImage in /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/ should be copied into /boot/vmlinuz, and bzlilo should handle the boot issues. Then go to yast, make a new kernel entry under Lilo Configuration and select boot kernel as /boot/vmlinuz. Run '/sbin/lilo' to be sure lilo handles your boot setup right. Run '/sbin/lilo -q' to see what is mapped in your lilo file. If you have a Nvidia card you must run 'make SYSINCLUDE=/usr/src/linux/include' from the NVDIA*kernel* directory. Comments: It is advisable to unpack the kernel.tar.gz file in a new directory under /usr/src, e.g. 2.4.7.SuSE. Then symlink /usr/src/linux to that directory to avoid conflicts with header files. If you recompile you might skip the modules and modules_install commands. You can also use xconfig instead of menuconfig. To start it run 'sux -c "make xconfig"' as user. You might also have to uncomment the initrd line in your lilo.conf file with a #. Then open the file /etc/rc.config. Delete what is in INITRD_MODULES=. Run 'mk_initrd' and 'lilo' Jostein >===== Original Message From Curtis Rey <crrey(a)home.com> ===== >Ok, I have a question.

pegasus driver for AT-USB100 adapter?
by Wernke zur Borg 01 Oct '01

01 Oct '01

Hi all, would anybody be able to extend the pegasus Ethernet/USB driver with support for the Allied Telesyn AT-USB100 adapter? I sent a mail to Petkan who made the driver, but I thought somebody here could perhaps help as well... Thanks, Wernke zur Borg _______________________________________________________________________ 1.000.000 DM gewinnen - kostenlos tippen - http://millionenklick.web.de IhrName(a)web.de, 8MB Speicher, Verschluesselung - http://freemail.web.de
