Unable to Mount Floppy Drive
by Gorden-Ozgul, Patricia E 26 Mar '01

26 Mar '01

SuSE 6.4 I'm having problems mounting my floppy drive. I hadn't the need to do so for some time now; it had worked previously. The one thing I did that may have affected my situation is that I repartitioned the drives about two weeks ago as I had been getting LILO errors indicating first 1024 cylinders were not available. I had used the following command successfully: mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /0/A When I execute that command now I get the following error: mount /dev/fd0 has wrong major or minor number Here's the associated line from /etc/fstab: /dev/fd0 /0/A auto noauto, user 0 0 Here's the contents of /proc/filesystems: nodev shm nodev pipefs nodev proc ext2 minix msdos vfat iso9660 nodev smbfs ntfs nodev nfs nodev devpts Can anyone help me resolve my problem? To be honest, I don't even understand what 'wrong major or minor number' indicates or how to attempt solve this. Any and all help will be appreciated. Thanks. __________________________________________________ Pat Gorden-Ozgul BNL-ISD Systems gorden(a)bnl.gov 631-344-5159

The new kde 2.1.1 rpms have a problem with the ~/.kde2 directory. If you move it to somewhere temporarily, then kde will start normally. - v -- Victor R. Cardona vcardona(a)home.com "Behold the keyboard of Kahless, the greatest Klingon code warrior that ever lived!"

Unwanted process uses large % CPU
by Guy Van Sanden 26 Mar '01

26 Mar '01

Since my upgrade from 6.4 to 7.1 (on 2 systems), a process called kapm-idled takes up 50 to 90% of my CPU (on a PIII - 650). I've disabled everything that has something to do with apm (in rc.config). How can I stop this process? and what is it doing? Because my systems are up 24/24, 7/7 I'm worried about the CPU being busy all the time. Thanks for any help Kind regards Guy Van Sanden

Yast is not used to configure PCMCIA adapters. Skip over the network configuration in YAST, telling it you have no NIC's installed. Make sure you have the pcmcia rpm installed. Edit /etc/pcmcia/network.opts - change the value of the DHCP parameter to 'y' and save the file. execute 'cardctl ident' and note the slot number that the card is inserted in. execute 'cardctl eject #' (use the correct slot number) execute 'cardctl insert #'. wait a few moments and execute 'ifconfig eth0'. On my laptop, the DHCP negotiation seldom takes more than 5-10 seconds. -- Rick Green "I have the heart of a little child, and the brain of a genius. ... and I keep them in a jar under my bed" -- 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/faq

insserv arguments
by Togan Muftuoglu 26 Mar '01

26 Mar '01

Hi everyone, After reading about fetchmail and running it as a daemon as stated in the README.SUSE, everything works fine except the start sequence is too early. I have manually changed it to a latter one but after a init change to fix something else oops fetcmail started again to early. Is there an insserv argument to use to change the sequence from S06 to lets say SX TIA -- Togan Muftuoglu
