Hi Stan, It maybe a memory related problem , especially since you are getting seg faults. Try running a proper memory check. Regards, Graham Smith -------------------------------- On 22-Mar-2001 Stan Koper wrote:
John,
The Seagate uses a 50 pin cable. It's the only device on the SCSI card. The Tekram card refers to some kind of automated terminator, but as for the drive, it came with the terminator enabled by default. I left it that way.
News, tho. I did the low level format and verify, and reinstalled SuSE 7.0. Since then it's been doing some very weird stuff, but only off and on. For example, I'm getting httpd-conf errors at boot up, but not at every boot up. The warn file reports problems with PHP (3). So no surprise there. But, on some boot ups, when I go to log in, it rejects my log-in. What I mean is, I don't see the next line, "password:". As soon as I type in something and hit enter, I get "login incorrect". And sometime s that's followed by a "respawning too fast" message.
And although the segmentation faults aren't as numerous as they were after the first install, they're still appearing from time-toi-time. But I just haven't yet had the time to sit down and figure out which specific problems are occuring, where, and what to do to fix them. But 7.1 still wouldn't install. Oh, and I'm getting "martian destination" messages on eth0.
Finally, in previous installs, rc.config (I forget where--sorry) refers to my two NIC modules, the 3c509 and the rtl1839. Now that line includes the tekram card driver as well. I wonder if that's correct or necessary. A line for the rtl1839 card appears twice on boot up, but I'm not getting the "already loaded that module" message that I had before.
Maybe I'll find some time this weekend to sit down and go through the logs, and do some research and see if I can figure out and fix some of these things. Or, I could re-install 7.0 for the third time...
Thanks for your comments.
