after i tried to recompile a custom kernel i soon ran into compile problems with some sig11 errors and i soon gave up. /*/* okay. I think that's NOT the problem.the problem is : you ran xf86config or not ? Have you CHOOSE your card in the fscking database? TWO THOUSAND times I repeat it on this mailing list ! ;-) When you install X , you choose the SERVER at the install and no more. The sig 11 is in fact a signal that Linux sends to the process when he can't manage hardware (in our case, not found) and just stops for not damaging something. While running xf86 config, you should set your monitor frequences again, for being SURE of what you're doing. It can hardly DAMAGE your monitor. */*/ ------------- # uname -a Linux sour 2.0.32 #1 Wed Nov 19 00:46:45 EST 1997 i486 unknown # mount -V mount: mount-2.7f # mount /dev/hda1 on / type ext2 (rw) none on /proc type proc (rw) /dev/hda5 on /usr type ext2 (rw) /dev/hda7 on /usr/local type ext2 (rw) /dev/hda6 on /var type ext2 (rw) # mount -t iso9660 -r /dev/hdb /mnt/cdrom mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdb, or too many mounted file systems # dmesg 0x70 key: 0x02 asc: 0x57 ascq: 0x00 hdb : tray open or drive not ready hdb: code: 0x70 key: 0x02 asc: 0x57 ascq: 0x00 hdb : tray open or drive not ready hdb: code: 0x70 key: 0x02 asc: 0x57 ascq: 0x00 hdb : tray open or drive not ready hdb: code: 0x70 key: 0x02 asc: 0x57 ascq: 0x00 hdb : tray open or drive not ready hdb: code: 0x70 key: 0x02 asc: 0x57 ascq: 0x00 hdb : tray open end_request: I/O error, dev 03:40, sector 64 hdb: code: 0x70 key: 0x02 asc: 0x57 ascq: 0x00 isofs_read_super: bread failed, dev 03:40 iso_blknum 16 block 32 hdb : tray open or drive not ready hdb: code: 0x70 key: 0x02 asc: 0x57 ascq: 0x00 /*/* Ahem. What's the option '-r' for mount ? Dunno it. All in all, have you took care of the filesystems when re-compiling your kernel ? Hehe because it seems to be your problem. OR the CD is fu**ed. It seems to be the greater possibility. Try just 'mount /dev/hdb /mnt/cdrom ; it's RH 5.0 damn it should recognize it while mounting it. Hmmm...are you using the kernel you re-compiled ? If yes, have you included the kernel-daemon (kerneld) support in it? More details!! */*/ Hope this helps, Ismael P.S.: let me now if you're still have problems with X !!
