Hello, I have to load a syslinux floppy image from grub using memdisk, it works like: grub - memdisk -> linux floppy image. the linux floppy image is using syslinux as linux bootloader. before syslinux 3.02, it works fine. However if syslinux >=3.05 it doesn't works. After vmlinuz and initrd loaded , before boot linux kernel, system hangs. Or, is it possible to run

Hi e, I am normally use gnome and would do the following to make my CD / DVD mount with exec gnome-mount --write-settings --device /dev/sdc0 -o exec What is the equivalent in KDE ? My initial research suggests that I actually have to write a custom udev rule to achieve this. This has led me as far as running udevinfo -q path -n /dev/scd0 udevtest /block/sr0 (the output is below) My

Hi All Folks. I encountered following problem WinXP can't connect Samba_Server but Samba_Server can connect WinXP for files sharing WinXP box and Samba_Server are connected directly via a crossover cable as experiment. Firewall of WinXP is off and ipchains on Samba_Server also off. (Remark: The WinXP box has been tested via direct connection with a crossover cable to a WinME box/Win98

When it accesses a real floppy disk, it seems to do Hung when the boot disk of MS-DOS (Win95/98/Me) was able to be started by using ISOLinux. example) Not inserted Floppydisk A>dir b: error message A/R/F ?

Dear All I tried to mount an external cdrom on my CentOS 5 server but un-successful . I attached the device to my USB port and then the followings have been added to my /dev folder : "cdrom -> scd0 cdrom-sr0 -> scd0 cdrw -> scd0 cdrw-sr0 -> scd0 cdwriter -> scd0 cdwriter-sr0 -> scd0" To this end , I tried to mount it as the followings (but it didn't get through) :

To the Centos maintainers: We tried to install Centos 4.4 i386 (i686 / Athlon) on a Dual Opteron 254 Iwill DK8N MB, 1GB (4 x 256M) system with a 3ware 9500S-4 and 4 x 80 GB disks in a RAID 10 array. Both tries caused Centos to first kernel panic until we turned off IO-APIC in the BIOS. Both tries also only loaded the UP kernel and did not load the smp kernel on the machine. The smp kernel was

Has anybody tried to boot a dos disk via memdisk with a usb flash device as a primary hard drive? I have a 512MB flash key that when connected becomes my primary hard drive (new bios) - 0x80. If I boot a MS-DOS 7.10 floppy, one gets the command prompt and I can see the contents of my flash key as drive C:. But, if I make a image of the floppy and boot the image via memdisk, then memdisk

Hi everyone, I would realy appreciate your help and guidense with a problem I have. Im trying to set up a SMS Gateway as a alert system for my network. Although the Aircard is picked up as a usb device and has a driver in the kernel, it does not have a /dev/XXX device name.

What is the maximum number of AMD64 cores supported by CentOS 4? The RedHat page https://www.redhat.com/software/rhel/configuration/ suggests that RHEL 4 AS supports up to 8 AMD64/EM64T logical cpus. Is that accurate and does it apply to CentOS 4? I see a few vendors offering boxes with 8 (dual core) CPU sockets. IWILL for one. Thanks, Tony Schreiner Boston College

The following is a description of an rpm-based rsync build problem on my Redhat 7.1 system, and a patch that fixed the spec file. The problem occurred on several recent rsync releases, including 2.5.7: rpm -tb --define '_topdir /home/user/tmp/rpmbuild' rsync-2.5.7.tar.gz ALMOST works; it uses the spec file in lsb, not redhat/7.1. This spec file fails due to bad date format in one line,

My approach to configuring Samba was that I refused to duplicate the effort required to manage user accounts under NT. My resource domain already had the accounts. I did everything I could to stay away from manual (or even programmatic) manipulation of the smbpasswd file. The smbpasswd file is not used or required in the following scenario. There have been some very important Samba

i have a turbolinux 6.5 server with 2.2 kernel, and samba 2.0.7. When i download 2.2.5 into /usr/local, run ./configure, run make, run make install, i then start the smbd and type smbd -V and it still shows I am running 2.0.7. Am I on crack? kevin Am I missing a step?

Hi All, After using rsync on a couple of reasonably high-perfomance machines lately (and being very impressed - this solution is excellent) - I decided to use this for a backup method on a somewhat slower network - Basically I have two machines (one a PII with 64MB of ram), and another a PIII 600 (192MB of ram) - both running turbolinux server 6.5 with a nice 'n' stable
