Which is fine, but you need to change a jumper on the serial port to tell it that it
is IRQ 5 now - changing the sources won't do anything at all if you don't change the
hardware.  If your serial board won't let you change the IRQ to 5, you're outa luck.
Once it's on IRQ 5 it should work fine
(and if you're using the AUTO_IRQ #define, you shouldn't have to even change that line
in serial.c any more)

(Yep, It works for me now, TyTso (the AUTO_IRQ) !)

Happy serialling !

An email discussion with "Speedy" did shed some light.  If you are
having problems with the NFS server, please make sure that you use the
options "rsize=1024,wsize=1024" on the client side (or equivalent).

Linux TCP/IP does not work with the large UDP packet sizes that Sun NFS

	When (if) you do this, be careful to do the symlink replacement
atomically using "ln -sf".  If you remove the target file first, you will
suddenly discover that your binaries linked to the shared library stop
working.  I found this out the hard way.  Fortunately, I had a copy of the
MTOOLS distribution linked against the libc.so.2 library and was able to use
mcopy to make a copy of libc.so.4.2 with the correct name.  Otherwise, it
would have been time to dig out the old boot floppies...

Reply-To: shap@halifax.syncomas.com

Date: Fri, 8 Jan 1993 12:27:09 GMT

I've probably missed a patch somewhere along the way, and would
appreciate it if someone could help me out.

I just finished installing the latest SLS (the one currently on TSX-11)
on my system.  Having done this, I decided I wanted to be on 0.99.2, so
I grabbed the sources for that, ran configure, and built it.  Being a
clever duck, I decided not to overwrite the 0.99 linux image, and
installed a new LILO entry for the new kernel.  Boy was I glad.

The 0.99.2 kernel comes up, but keyboard input is totally ignored.  Can't
log in or nuttin!

It has to be something I did, since the bootable rootdisk versions of
0.99.2 work fine.

I'm on a 486/25 portable with IDE drive.

The autoconf file contains:

	CONFIG_BLK_DEV_HD 1
	CONFIG_TCPIP 1
	CONFIG_MAX_16M 1
	CONFIG_M486 1
	CONFIG_MINIX_FS 1
	CONFIG_EXT_FS 1
	CONFIG_MSDOS_FS 1
	CONFIG_PROC_FS 1
	CONFIG_AUTO_IRQ 1
	CONFIG_PSMOUSE 1

I also edited three lines in the Makefile:

	ROOT_DEV = /dev/hda1
	KEYBOARD = -DKBD_US -DKBDFLAGS=0
	SVGA_MODE= -DSVGA_MODE=NORMAL_VGA

Otherwise, it's the out-of-the-box 0.99.2 tar image.

Any help would be appreciated.

you need to set your hostname in /etc/rc

you need to set the visible_name in /usr/local/lib/smail/config
to correctly indicate your hostname.domain

for elm2.3.11, you'll need to set your domain in /usr/lib/domains
or /usr/local/lib/elm/domains (can't remember how I set it up).

for elm2.4.17, you'll need to set your domain in /usr/local/lib/elm/elm.rc

for news, you need to edit (at a minimum):

	/usr/bin/Pnews and Rnmail to set your hostname.domain
	/usr/local/lib/news/whoami, mailname, mailpaths, organization,
		

then you'll hopefully be ready to setup your newsfeed normally
like you'd do for any other C-news site.

   Hi, I was wondering if someone could help me here. 

   I was trying to figure out the TCP/IP stuff right, and was reading
the FAQ<which, the last time, I didn't follow too closely..:(>, and
realized one minor problem.   I checked the directory listing for
/etc/inet, and 'lo and behold, I DON'T have an inetd.conf file!


   The FAQ doesn't say what the inetd.conf file CONTAINS, so can someone
email me WHAT the inetd.conf file contains and as well as where I can
get named.reload and named.restart?  I ftp'd named.tar.Z from 
tsx-11.mit.edu, but that tar file lacks 'named.restart' and 
'named.reload'!  

   Incidentally, the files in named.tar.Z are pretty wierd.  All you
needed to do was 'chmod 755 named nslookup nsquery named.x-fer'
and it will work!  Why did the person even change the attributes in
the first place?

  Thanks....

System: Linux 0.99.1 w/libc.so.4.2 obtained from tsx-11
        before the *very* latest HJ release.  SLS X disks
        obtained from tsx-11 mid- to late-October.  Using
        X386mono on a normal VGA board.

Symptoms: X clients (most, not all) dumping core
          w/segmentation violations.  Some run fine.

    Has anyone experienced these problems?  Some of my X
clients (xmaze) seem to work fine but other, more important,
ones (xterm :) simply dump core whenever I start them up.
They exit with segmentation violations.  Even when I try to
start them in text mode (you should get a message like
"Can't open display") they just dump core.

    I am running a somewhat older release of libc.4.2 (came
from tsx-11.mit.edu:/pub/linux/packages/GCC/libc.so.4.2.Z.
I have no problems with this libc in any of my text-mode
apps.  Is this the culprit or is it the older SLS X disks?
There are no telltale error messages from the stderr of the
X server (not even the core dump messages!?).

    Any help appreciated.

Date: Mon, 4 Jan 1993 10:08:05 GMT


   Ok.  Firstly, I would like to thank you ALL who have helped me
get my linux system up.  It's finally working properly, well, at least
95% of it, I think.   Special thanks to those who have been VERY
patient with me.   

   Anyway,  two minor stuff, I'd like to get cleared up.  

    1) What is a "KDSETMODE KD_GRAPHICS failed" error?  I decided
       to run 'startx' tonight and like it choked and gave me the
       following error:-

       ..
       .
       Fatal server error:
       KDSETMODE KD_GRAPHICS failed.  

       What does this mean?

    2) This isn't actually a problem.  Wow, what a change eh?
       But like, for the command 'compress', right.  Well,
       what's the minimum filesize that it would actually compress?
       I was fiddling with compress last night and like I made 
       a test file of  16 bytes..  And ran compress on it.  Nothing
       happened.   So can I make an assumption that compress won't
       compress anything under, just say, 100 bytes?  This is only
       an inquiry.   It's not mentioned in the FAQ and I'm just
       curious about it, because 'compress' and 'uncompress' failed
       to run in Linux 0.98pl5.  Compress choked and core dumped.  

  PS: Planning to install LILO, so probably, there might be a few
      questions coming up from me....

  PPS: I'M just joking..sheesh...  please.. no flames..  just a
       slight humor.. :)

Linux.	It didn't work. :-)

When I installed 0.8, it complained about my having > 1024 cylinders.  I
changed the die to a warning and it works just fine with .99.2 .98.1 and
DOS.  Unfortunately, the DOS emulator hangs now after LILO cranks up &
never boot DOS.  Being able to boot straight from my hard drive was
sorta nice.

Subject: SCSI kernel and NE2000 card: bad combination.

(Whining time again.)

Will someone please put a NON-SCSI kernel on the various ftp sites?
A Linux SCSI kernel WILL NOT boot if an NE2000 Ethernet card is installed
with its default settings.  It just hangs in the SCSI initialization
code.

Here's what I have to do to install Linux:

1.  Take the cover off the computer. 
2.  Change the I/O address of the NE2000 card to something that isn't
    already used by a device.  (Too lazy to remove yet another screw!)
3.  Install Linux, including GCC and the kernel source.
4.  Rebuild the kernel WITHOUT SCSI support. 
5.  Change the I/O address of the NE2000 card to its original settings. 
6.  Put the cover back on the computer.  

A lot of software expects to find the NE2000 card at its default settings, 
so permanently changing the settings is not an option for some people.

I don't have a lot of disk space, so I sometimes have to give up my
Linux partition.  By the time I switch back to Linux, it is easier to
catch up by installing the latest SLS distribution.  Having gone through
the above steps (and complaining about it) a few times since August, I'm 
not looking forward to doing it again.

The docs announcing gcc 2.3.3 (about 2 pages) suggested getting the
binutils.TZ from tsx-11.mit.edu if you have not upgraded for a while.
