Been a whiel sinbce I had these errors
It is I think a problem at the second stage of the boot loader, meaning Lilo
was able to find the second stage boot loader but failed to execute it most
likely because of a geometry mismatch of the hard disk.
What you need to do is to edit your lilo.conf with an append =
"hd?=cyl,hds,sec"
where hd? is the name of the drive cyl is tyhe actual number of cylenders on
that drive
hds is the actual number of heads and sec is the actula number of sectors.
Then you can tell the BIOS that the drive is whatever you want, ie. keep
sectors the same, but divide cyl by some integer to keep the resulting number
below 1024 and multiply the heads by the same number. Seems the BIOS likes
lies :-)
Then LILO and Linux knows the truth !
Sorry if this is not clear and hope it helps
Someone please jump on this if it is all wrong
Phil
Oh and of course you need to boot from a rescue floppy to get into your
system to add this line to /etc/lilo.conf :-)

This fix apparently comes from Estinc:
export TZ=?DT
That is, export TZ= your timezone with the "D"
for daylight saving's time (PDT, MDT, SDT,
EDT...). To make this "permanent," place this
line in your /etc/bashrc file.
The full message is in the list archives and the hurricane archives
under the Subject "Re: bru: [E134] internal error 100 - .....". This
fix was posted a few hours ago if you want to look for the full text.

Lilo prints out one letter of its name as it finished a major step of
booting your computer. When it prints 'LI' and stops, that means it was
able to load the second stage boot loader, but it couldn't execute it.
According to the lilo README, this can be caused by a "geometry mismatch."
Try booting your system off of a rescue disk and running lilo again.
Hope this helps.

Subject: BusLogic BT-958 and SyJet
Message-Id: <1998040802...@nautilus.clemson.edu>
Hey, y'all (as the vernacular would have it...)-
I'm running 4.2 (kernel 2.0.32) on a P-166 with a BusLogic BT-598 SCSI
controller, a 2.1G Quantum Atlas Wide SCSI drive at target 0, a Sony
4mm 2-4G DAT at target 4, and a SyJet at target 3. On occasion
(possibly in response to a sequence of writes to the SyJet when it's
spun down, but not always), I get a series of errors and controller
resets. Some sample error messages are attached below. (Sorry about the
length; enough different things occur that I wasn't sure what I could
safely leave out...) After this sequence, it's been behaving fine,
now that it's spun up.
Does anyone have experience with this problem? Is it the controller
or the drive that's not responding correctly? Is this a driver
problem? (I suspect it may not be the latter, since I've seen some
anomalous behavior in Win95 as well.) Is there a known cure? If not,
is there a known cause that I can pursue with the appropriate vendor?
Is there a likelihood of file-system corruption or data loss?
Thanks for any clues.

It does. You simply run a second copy of XFree on the second screen. As
far as I know there is no way to make a single XFree session handle two
screens, however. (I might be wrong, of course... :) ).

The one big thing that really bothered me was that it did not say how many
messages were on the POP server. It was kind of annoying because it was
slow and I never new how much longer it was going to take for my messages
to download. I've got Outlook 98 now so unfortunately I'm going to have
to take at a look at it here in the near future for possible use by our
Win95 users. It still seems way to too reliant on Windows Messaging for
my taste.
If I revisit Outlook 97 I can give you more examples.

The only advantages to the Pentium II is the megahertz speed and the MMX.
Since Linux doesn't use the MMX (in fact practically nobody uses the MMX
due to Intel's brain dead implementation of it) you only gain the
megahertz.

Unless you plan on needing a lot of spare CPU's this is not relevant.

There's your only advantage.

Pentium Pro and Pentium II have comparable 32-bit performance.

Come on now. Bogomips are irrelevant and you should know that. I think
it would be better if the kernel didn't output them at all, so that people
are not tricked into thinking the value has a meaning.
In any case, the performance is pretty similar per-MHz running Linux.
However, there are three particular factors.
1) The Pentium II runs at higher speeds.
2) The Pentium Pro has an L2 cache which is twice as fast.
3) It is easier to get a Pentium II motherboard with SDRAM. SDRAM makes a
very great performance difference and is probably more important than your
CPU type. (Not that it's impossible to get a PPro motherboard with SDRAM,
but practically all P2 boards support it).
If it's important, you can put up to four PPro CPU's in a system, whereas
the P2 is limited to two. Of course the motherboard is an even more
important factor here. :)
> Also the use tthe system is for plays a part I know.
Not so much under Linux, given otherwise identical system configurations
(RAM, motherboard, video card, etc.)
> Lets say fp performance is important for graphics and rendering!
FP performance is comparable on either chip.

Hello all,
I will need to install apache on a macine at my school. I have a
few questions on DNS. There is already a DNS server at my school, I don't
need to setup a nameserver. 1. Using redhat's netcfg tool, under the
section of nameservers would I have to enter the ip of the primary
nameserver only? 2. By pointing the computer to the correct DNS if I was
to change the name of the server from localhost to the given name of the
computer on the network, it should be able to locate the server within or
outside the network, right? 3. This is not related to DNS, just APACHE:
Is there a way to create a public directory that for each user on the
system apache creates an entry in the http(d?) directory that would
produce: http://myserver.mydomain/~dhughes if dhughes is a user on the
system, or http://myserver.mydomain/~dude if dude is on the server without
manual entry of the directories ( eg. mkdir ~dhughes)? If so how?
If it is possible I don't want to rush anyone, but I need to
figure out how to do this within about 2 weeks, so please if you can reply
soon.
Thanks,
Dan Hughes

Hello,
I was also wondering how to set up DNS under redhat. I know that
you need bind and named to set up dns but I have never done this before.
Since I set up Linux on my machine to learn how to do things in a UNIX

necessary to be installed for setting up DNS?
2. How to set up DNS under Linux? Specifically what files need to be
edited, and what should their structure be?

I strongly recommend the book "DNS and BIND" by Paul Albitz & Cricket
Liu, published by O'Reilly & Associates, Inc.
You can get it at:

Here's a sample of the files required...
These files are supporting a private domain which uses NAT on a Cisco
762 router to access the net. They are not "live" in the same sense
that a "true" dot com domain would be but they work quite well
none-the-less.
cd /usr/local/named
ls
db.10.0.0 db.127.0.0 db.cache db.moongroup
#db.10.0.0

Greetings.
I have a couple of (hopefully) simple questions for someone here: How can
I set up Communicator 4.04 to (1) check to see if Pine is running, and pass
the address to it if so (or start Pine with the address otherwise), and (2)
fill-in the MIME type field in the Preferences menu?
Sorry for not being RH-specific.
Thanks,
Jeff

If you have a secondary nameserver, there's no reason you can't add it as
well.

Yes, assuming you have network connectivity. Take a look at
/etc/resolv.conf for an idea on how it works..

Any chance you tried this before you posted your question? :) It
currently works by default. Simply tell your users to create a
public_html directory in their home directory, and put their local files
there.

Two weeks? Buddy, this list moves quick. Two hours and perhaps you might
have a problem :)

Read the DNS-HOWTO it has all the info you need to know in it, except for
the fact that if you are setting up a DNS Server that will be on the
internet, and that it will be either a 'primary' or 'secondary' server,
that you MUST tell the authority for your DOMAIN where it is and what it's
named is. I was rather disappointed to find that it wasn't in there.
Actually without having the book in front of my face, I believe O'Reilly's
DNS & Bind book didn't mention it either.
If it is in either of those documents, I sure as hell didn't see it, and
spent abit of time tracking that info down.

Be 'very' careful with where your putting periods '.'

Subject: RAID and System Upgrades
Message-ID: <m3g1jpm...@localhost.localdomain>
Hi,
I have four 2.1GB SCSI drives and I want to make three of them into a
RAID-0 array using the md driver.
I was thinking of using part of the fourth disk as a boot
partition. What I would like to know is what happens when a system
upgrade is done e.g. from RH4.2 -> 5.0 or 5.0->5.1.
Does anyone have any experience upgrading RAID systems or any general
tips on using RAID?
Thanks.
