mkinitrd just work with suse kernels
by Thiago Vinhas de Moraes 13 Jun '05

13 Jun '05

Hi folks, I'm building my own kernel, but had problems when running mkinitrd to create the ramdisk image... it only detects the rpm based kernels, not the one compiled by myself. Does anyone have an idea of what's wrong??

When will support of SuSE 8.2 end?
by Sven.Hartrumpf＠fernuni-hagen.de 13 Jun '05

13 Jun '05

I remember that SuSE guarantees only 2 years of support. As the two years are over for 8.2, does anybody know how long this support (security updates) will be provided?

SuSE Watcher question
by Jerry Feldman 13 Jun '05

13 Jun '05

My SuSE Watcher icon generally shows orange, and I frequently get dialog box that it is unable to connect. This is on SuSE 9.3 both at home and at work. At work, I am behind a firewall, and although my proxy settings are correct, there could be something blocking it. I checked SuSE Firewall settings, but I did not see any settings that might affect SuSE watcher. On both my home system (direct connect via Linksys router) and at work, I am able to do YOU. -- Jerry Feldman <gaf(a)blu.org> Boston Linux and Unix user group http://www.blu.org PGP key id:C5061EA9 PGP Key fingerprint:053C 73EC 3AC1 5C44 3E14 9245 FB00 3ED5 C506 1EA9

Can't connect to NFS server
by Dan 13 Jun '05

13 Jun '05

Hi there Here is another newbie question: I have two linux machines. Machine #1: Is a LAMP server. I have setup cron to make a nightly tar ball of the htdocs and mysql data and to keep it in /backup The /backup directory I have exported via NFS. Machine #2: Is a NFS client of the LAMP server and mounts the exported /backup directory and makes a nightly copy for backup purposes. This has been running well for a long time until both machines rebooted for some reason (could it have been a power hiccup?). Machine 1 came up no problem but Machine 2 stopps at "Importing Net File System (NFS)" and doesn't go any further. I can reboot Machine 2 but it always stops at "Importing Net File System (NFS)" :-S Machine 1 has a 2.4.21-231-athlon kernel and Machine 2 has a 2.4.21-243-athlon kernel The first thing I thought of was that Machine 1 had activated the firewall again and is blocking traffic. I had looked at it and I believe that the firewall is not running but I am not sure. I have tried to connect Machine 1 from a third linux computer (my laptop) and but I have NOT been successful. So I am a bit stumped. Regards from Denmark, Dan

Hi, newbie here :-) I have SuSE installed on my laptop as a dual boot option. I recently ran Yast Online Update for the first time. After the Update completed my eth0 is down and I am not online anymore from SuSE. Any ideas why this happened? I don't know how to get eth0 running again, any suggestions? Regards from Denmark. Dan
