Why did you change the CDROM assignment SuSE?
by Jerry Kreps 19 Mar '01

19 Mar '01

In SuSE 7.0 what used to be in /etc/fstab was /dev/cdrom /cdrom iso9660 ro,noauto, user, exec 0 0 Here is what SuSE 7.1 put into /etc/fstab for my cdrom: /dev/hdd /cdrom auto ro,noauto,user,exec 0 0 Obviously, my cdrom is not a harddisk so /dev/hdd is not a correct device... I have no trouble firing YaST or YaST2, so they must be using some sort of driver on the fly. Here is what vdir /dev/cd* shows: brw-rw---- 1 root disk 19, 128 Jan 19 02:36 /dev/cdouble0 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 19, 129 Jan 19 02:36 /dev/cdouble1 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 Feb 24 20:01 /dev/cdrom -> hdd brw-r----- 1 root disk 24, 0 Jan 19 02:36 /dev/cdu535 I suspect that YaST is using /dev/cdu535. BUT when I do: mount -t iso9660 -r /dev/cdu535 /cdrom I get the message: "mount: the kernel does not recognize /dev/cdu535 as a block device (maybe `insmod driver'?) " I've never ventured into mk_nod territory, SuSE so help me out here. JLK

Re: [SLE] Sax2 Xfree4 and ttfonts

Hey, You are welcome. Glad to hear it worked for you. As with fonts, I have the same problem :) It seems there is a bug in X font handling. It has been fixed in 4.0.3 or so they say. I hope. I'm waiting for SuSE packages for 4.0.3. No fixed fonts in konqy either!

Hi: I get the following messages when I connect to my ISP. I get low connect speeds where as with 7.0 the connect speeds were allways high. I thought module char-major-108 had something to do with the sound but the sound works great on my box. I am running SuSE 7.1. TIA Mar 18 19:43:20 linux modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module ppp0 Mar 18 19:46:22 linux modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module char-major-108 Mar 18 20:01:05 linux modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module char-major-108 Mar 18 20:01:52 linux modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module char-major-108 Mar 18 20:03:17 linux modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module char-major-108 -- Cheers, Jonathan

Tekram DC-315U SCSI driver not available in 2.2.4?
by Christopher D. Reimer 18 Mar '01

18 Mar '01

Greetings! I'm SuSE 6.3 as a base installation with the updated software needed for the standard 2.2.4 kernel. I noticed that the driver for the Tekram DC-315U SCSI card is no longer in the kernel as it was for the 2.2.x series. The DC-390 driver does not work for the DC-315U. I checked the Tekram website for info on the DC-315U chipset (TRM-S1040) but I can't find the corresponding driver in the 2.2.4 kernel. What driver should I be using? Is the driver from the Tekram website compatible with the 2.2.4 kernel? Thanks! Christopher Reimer

[SLE] - FIREWALLS

On Sunday 18 March 2001 2:25 pm, Jerry did write: > Run out to: > http://www.sdesign.com/securitytest/ > and get a basic site scan done for free. > It will tell you where your holes are! I have just finished testing my standalone dual boot system. On the Windows 982e test Macafee Firewall, on default settings, prevented sdesign from finding any open ports below 1024, or the PC responding to netbios name query or file sharing. On SuSE V7.1 the same happened, using Personal Firewall on the installation default settings. David Bell Oakley, G.B.
