What am I doing wrong? The parameters are "sda=cyl/heads/sec" (slashes, not! commas). Besides, SCSI really doesn't use CHS numbering. A SCSI disk is treated like a contiguous string of "n" blocks. CHS is really only significant when you have an IDE or (god forbid) an ancient ST506 or ST412 drive that doesn't support LBA mode. Why are you forcing a CHS on this anyway? Any particular reason?

You do not burn the contents OR the image. An ISO image is an image of the CD. It can be mounted just like the CD itself could. Your software should have an option like "Create a CD from an ISO image", but since you haven't told us what software you're trying to use, we can't help more than telling you that. Again, do not burn the .iso image as if it were a file and do not burn the contents of the .iso image, but find the option in your software to create the CD FROM an ISO image and use that. As far as the boot floppy is concerned, it is intended to be used with a system which either cannot boot CDs or doesn't have a CD drive. In the latter case, you can install from a network drive or another partition. When you do that, the .iso files MUST be where you tell the installer to look and MUST be named appropriately, e.g. "yarrow-i386-disc1.iso" or whatever. Each in! staller is different, so a network or foreign filesystem install using the RH9 installer will NOT work for a Fedora install--you must use the installer appropriate for your distribution. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens@vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - There are only 10 kinds of people in the world -- those who - - understand binary and those who don't - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------ Message: 10 Date: Mon, 10 May 2004 18:27:34 -0400 From: "Jen" <JLYN@MINDSPRING.COM> Subject: DCHP, Router, DSL, redhat9 problem.

I origianlly had Mandrake on my machine and decided to try Redhat out, which I installed with no problem. I choose DHCP during installation to configure my NIC as I have DSL pumped in through a Linksys Router. However, During boot, I receive a message that my NIC is down and I cannot ping or configure the NIC through Internet Config manager when the nic is set to DHCP. However, if I give the NIC a static IP address of 10.0.0.1, the NIC will report as UP during boot, however, I still cannot reach the internet. So basically: *Wireless Router is set to be a DHC server *NIC w/DHCP - doesn't initialize during boot and can't get to the internet. *NIC with 10.0.01 Will initialize, but still can't get to the internet. *If I install another Linux version such as Mandrake, the defualt works perfectly, so I do not think this is a NIC or Router Problem. I believe that pings don't work with either configuration - I will have to double check on this though.

Probably can not find a DHCP server, in which case, check cabling and config of your DHCP server. No, your NIC will not init if it is expecting DHCP and doesn't find it. Maybe a bad NIC, bad cable or bad DHCP server, at this point. > *NIC with 10.0.01 Will initialize, but still can't get to the internet. Why would you use 10.0.0.1? On what subnet?

Ping can't work if the two devices are not c! onfigured properly. If ping doesn't work, either your firewall blocks it, with is not a good practice before you get your network to work, or your network is miss-wired or miss-configured. -- Scott ------------------------------ Message: 13 Date: Mon, 10 May 2004 16:11:39 -0700 (PDT) From: Pedro Morales <PMOR82@YAHOO.COM> Subject: Re: Trouble configuring Red Hat Linux 7.2 To: Getting started with Red Hat Linux <REDHAT-INSTALL-LIST@REDHAT.COM> Message-ID: <20040510231139.80293.qmail@web41008.mail.yahoo.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii --- Rick Stevens <RSTEVENS@VITALSTREAM.COM>wrote: > Pedro Morales wrote: > >>> # cd /mnt/cdrom/images > >>> # dd if=bootdisk.img of=/dev/fd0 bs=1k > >>> # cd /root > >>> # umount /mnt/cdrom > > > > > > Thanks so far guys, specially Rick, so guess final > try<!

Well in our case, even if I added the images to our server it wouldn't work since RH7.2 can't recognize our NICs.

Almost 30GB+ space is consumed in a few hour. I checked the disk using command df -k Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/sda2 7052496 2858552 3835696 43% / /dev/sda1 101089 15076 80794 16% /boot /dev/sda6 60989924 56854996 1036796 99% /home none 2065448 0 2065448 0% /dev/shm /dev/sda5 396623 70972 305170 19% /var The /home is occupied nealy 100%. (I deleted some files just now.) Then I checked the directory /home/cadmin using du --max-depth=1 . 16 ./.kde 4 ./.gconfd 236 ./.gconf 712 ./license 28 ./.gnome 56 ./.gnome2 4 ./.gnome2_private 20 ./.nautilus 12 ./.gnome-desktop 28 ./.metacity 35445700 . I was so curious and deleted the directory /home/cadmin. But the space is still almost full. The system is Redhat 8.0, Kernel is 2.4.18-3bigmem. Anybody can help me?

Ok guys, FC1 is live and running in our classroom, we did it on my computer first for testing, it autodetected everything, and managed to discover how to get my DHCP, DNS, Proxy and well, everything I needed for my college LAN, I have to say I love the security on Linux. Now we have a new bump, we need to conect to our server which is running Windows 2003 Server wich has a MSCHAP V.2 encryption, couldn't find any option in Linux (so far) that allows me to connect to a Windows server using this encryption mode. I found out in the internet that Linux needs a patch to allow this, but I'm wondering, since FC1 is a Project and it's newer, does FC1 has this option somewhere or do I have to do it on text mode? __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
