Hi:
I recently upgraded over the network to potato from slink
and then installed linux 2.2.13. I was having the following
problem. It would come up with endless messages about
140.228.8.157 sent an invalild ICMP error to a broadcast.
Also ypbind would not work when it booted up, but afterward I
would type ypbind on the command line and it would be OK. I
could use ftp, ping to any machine etc; so clearly the routing
was OK. I had got rid of route add -net etc. from
/etc/init.d/network.
In an attempt to get rid of the messages, I thought the broadcast
address was wrong and I changed it from 255.255.248.0 to
255.255.255.0 which is what the HOWTO's always give. When I booted
up it would say
Starting NIS servives: ypbind
and hang indefinitely.
I thought I would get the rescue disk from ftp.debian.org ( it is
for 2.2.12 ) and when I used it ( using root=dev/hda4 ) it wouldn't
go further.
How do I get over this problem?
Thanks for any suggestions.
