I had similar problems on my Dell i8100 with the PCMCIA stuff in the installed kernel (2.4.16). I installed the "pcmcia-cs" & "pcmcia-source" packages, rebuilt the kernel (for other reasons), & the PCMCIA stuff worked. I don't know what the previous PCMCIA stuff was doing, but it was definitely causing trouble. Also, check out the following for some useful information: http://vergil.chemistry.gatech.edu/~park/dell.html I ended up disabling APIC (not ACPI, but close enough to be confusing): CONFIG_X86_UP_APIC is not set CONFIG_X86_UP_IOAPIC is not set So, now "shutdown -h" works, pushing the power button works, & the system no longer crashes when pulling the AC, pressing "suspend", etc. Suspend... doesn't seem to be supported with the current acpid; it notices the events, but isn't configured to to anything about them. The lid close/open is interesting, requiring at least Fn-CRT/LCD to get the screen back, & varying based on whether I'm at an X console or not. I don't know where to go from here, but my system is stable for the moment.

Add the following to your /etc/lilo.conf file: prompt timeout=100 # Windows NT other=/dev/??? label=WinNT replacing "???" with the designator for your NT partition (e.g., hda1). Do "lilo -v" to kick the config changes into effect. Next reboot you should get the lilo prompt at which you can type the label of the OS you want (e.g., "Linux", "WinNT", etc.). After 10 seconds lilo will boot the default OS. If you want the default OS to be NT instead of Linux, change the "default=Linux" (or whatever it is now) to "default=WinNT" in lilo.conf & redo "lilo -v".

It depends somewhat on what file system type WinXP is using in hda1. From a Linux perspective, VFAT is safer than NTFS, especially for read-write. If you don't already know the type, use cfdisk to check it out. Assuming that your kernel supports the file system type, then do: mount -t -o ro /dev/hda1 /mnt where "" is probably either "vfat" or "ntfs". If that seems to work, you can mount it read-write by dropping the "-o ro" for vfat, but I don't know if it's advisable to do so for ntfs: umount /dev/hda1 mount -t vfat /dev/hda1 /mnt If you want to get at it from other IDs than root, you might also have to use the "uid=" & "gid=" mount options, such as: mount -t vfat -o ro,uid=1000,gid=1000 /dev/hda1 /mnt You might also want to create a more descriptive mount point, such as: mkdir /WinXP mount -t vfat -o ro,uid=1000,gid=1000 /dev/hda1 /WinXP To unmount it, do: umount /dev/hda1 To look at the mounted file systems, just do: mount To make it automatic, translate the mount command into an entry in /etc/fstab. > What man page would explain this? mount(8) fstab(5) Jay Ford, Network Engineering Group, Information Technology Services University of Iowa, Iowa City, IA 52242 email: [EMAIL PROTECTED], phone: 319-335-, fax: 319-335-5505 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
