Thanks for the reply. I fixed it. the reason being the Ximian GNOME updated modutils from SuSE7.3 ftp site. I uninstalled and reinstalled modutils from 7.3 pro CD.

NFS Help 7.3 pro
by Shane Broomhall 05 Feb '02

05 Feb '02

Hi All, Silly Question time, I am using a laptop with a CD Rom as a NFS server to allow for me to install 7.3 on a Toshiba Laptop without a CD. I cant eject the CD, as it is shared and mounted it is showing busy. I have copied my 7 CD's to the hard drive. Can anyone tell me if there is any special directory structure I need to follow, or will directories called CD1, CD2 and so on under the export path do. Any help with this would be appreciated. I will be trying again tomorow. Shane Broomhall Brisbane Aust shanebroomhall(a)computer.org

Using an ASMA option with a x220 xseries
by Pascal Miquet 05 Feb '02

05 Feb '02

Hi, I'm currently testing the option card ASMA PN 32P0196. All BIOS of PC and ASMA option card were made. I've also installed the linux SuSE 7.2 driver available from www.pc.ibm.com/support With the Web interface, available with the ASMA, I can see that the OS is booted, but when I ask to shutdown the OS and then power the server, no shutdown is performed, and finaly the server is powered OFF. I think that no APIC is isntalled with the 2.4.4-64GB-SMP Actually no OS update were done. If you've got a GOOD idea, please let me know. Regards Pascal MiQUET

later kernel and IBM Ultracam
by Bret Comstock Waldow 05 Feb '02

Hello, people, can you help me?

I have a T21 Thinkpad, with the Ultracam so I can keep in touch with family and friends. It came with W2k, and I've put SuSE 7.3 on it. I'm slowly working through getting replacements for all my Windows apps so I can work in (and thus learn more quickly about) Linux. I have read that later than 7.3 stock kernels (2.4.10+) have the ultracam.o module working in them. I haven't yet figured out getting the ultracam driver compiled for the stock kernel (I've been busy moving to New Zealand). How difficult, and how useful, is moving to a later kernel? Does it come with the driver source files configured to compile? I can successfully recompile a kernel - I'm not so sharp at adding in new source - not so sure about the structure in Linux land yet. I talked my father through getting SuSE to recognize and configure his "old" btt48 video capture board and camera in 7.3 (I made sure he had the same as me so I could support him), and he has a color picture now. I need to get a working camera on my system so I can go on and figure out how to use GnomeMeeting. Then I won't have to boot W2k much anymore, and I can concentrate on learning Linux. Thanks in advance for any help. regards, Bret

SuSE 7.2 installation problem on existing system
by Donald Raikes 05 Feb '02

05 Feb '02

Hi all, I have a system with windows 2000 on it. I need to install SuSE 7.2 to run on the same pc. My problem is when I try to do the install, I get an error saying that SuSE must be installed on the highest partition number. The disk looks like this: partition type size 1 msdos 2gb 2 linux swap 500m 3 linux ext2 4.5 gb 4 ntfs windows 2000 The original system had: partition type size 1 msdos 2gb 2 ntfs windows 2000 11gb I used partition magic to resize the ntfs partition down to 6gb. Unfortunately when I did this, the empty space was left in the middle of the disk not the end. Now I seem to be stuck. Is there a way to renumber the partitions, or can I force SuSE to go into partition 3 rather than 4?

auto install
by Berge, Harry ten 05 Feb '02

05 Feb '02

I've dropped it a few days ago, but no response.... Could anyone PLEASE help me with the auto install of 7.3??? I've created a bootfloppy as mentioned in the documents regarding auto-install, and everything goes ok. But when the install reaches the partitioning part the system fails. It only shows the present partitions, but that's it. No automatic partitioning.... Does anyone has a clue???

modprobe ?
by anbalagan 05 Feb '02

05 Feb '02

I tried to install SuSE 7.3 pro and was configuring Lucent winmodem. I did the following steps. 1. Installed kernel source 2. as root #make cloneconfig dep 3. Using ltmodem source , install went fine. when I try to run $modprobe lt_serial , I get the following mesg. modprobe: Cant open dependencies file /lib/modules/2.4.10-4GB/modules.dep (No such file or directory) I checked the file and found missing, what is this modules.dep file. What went wrong ? I have done this earlier )before linux partition table was corrupted due to defrag...... I was able to connect earlier (previous install). This time it was a fresh install. if someone can point me the corrective actions couls be of great help. TIA, anbu
