The kernel parameter for initrd is just initrd=/boot/newinstall/root-2.4.bin but this is just doing what you have done with the grub command so I would expect anything different.

Multiple NICs with Monolithic kernel
I am having trouble setting up a system for 3 nic cards with a monolithic kernel ( 2.4.18 ) The three cards are identical and use the eepro100 driver.

I was only testing that my new cards worked. So I have achieved that, but was confused about what I was experiancing. This is going to be a gateway/firewall machine connecting 3 subnets. I had never attached two cards on a box to the same network, and had never thought about how that would work. So I am trying to learn. You have helped. The final thing which I still do not understand is that, after I passed the ether= kernel parameters for each card, only eth0 would work. But if I `ifdown eth0` then only eth1 would work. Finally if I `ifdown eth1` then eth2 would work. This one has got me stumped. > > I wish to use a monolithic kernel for security.

Do all the input and output ports > have the same IP address? Can you do that on a pc? > hub and switch ports do not have ip addresses. hubs do not even know what an ip address is. Here is a pretty picture of the OCI model which shows this http://www.howstuffworks.com/lan-switch7.htm Hubs just get packets from one interface to another on a network segment. Hubs work by broadcasting the packets to all interfaces connected to the hub, they only need a physical connection and so are at OCI level 1. Switches inspect the ip infomation and route the packets to the correct interface, they operate at OCI level 2. Routers can also connect different network segments perform firewalling/NAT/port forwarding packet mangling, and general TCP stuff and so use OCI level 3. I believe it is possible to have two cards with the same ip for redundancy/performance, but I expect it takes some special setup. Also you can stripe ( think raid ) across two cards.

How you do this depends on whether you are loading your drivers as modules or if they are built in. If there are built in like mine you pass the ether= parameter to the kernel. ether=9,0x2000,eth0 If you use modules then you assign them in /etc/modules.conf alias eth0 tulip alias eth1 eepro100 ~Michael I don't know what you do when multiple cards use the same module. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

can't mount homemade cdroms on one machine

The message I get on mounting is "No medium found" The drive is actually a dvd-rom. Kernel boot message is: "Toshiba DVD-ROM SD-M1102, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive" The machine that will not mount them also will not boot from any cd, though the bios seems to support it. It has never booted from a cd. It is my oldest machine c1998. I have tried using a different ide controller with no change. I have tried from a rescue floppy with the same results.

samba print samsung ML-1710
I am having some trouble figuring out how to get my Samsung ML-1710 printer to be shared with winXP. I am using lpr. I can print fine from linux, and can see the printer from XP.

I cannot get my raw printer to print anything, either from windows or linux. I do not get any errors. The only time I see anything in the queue is when I turn the printer off and then print.

libGL dlopen() woes in unstable
I run unstable, and after the latest upgrade of nvidia-glx and glibc, I seem to be having no end of trouble with commercial opengl applications that like to dlopen() libGL.so.1. This seems to have something to do with the recent addition of TLS specific GL libraries to the nvidia driver. The readme from nvidia notes a similar problem in Redhat 9, which was later fixed by redhat with a glibc patch. Has anyone else seen this problem lately? On my machine, quake2, quake3, ut2003, ut, marble blast, and ballistics are affected. All but the last 2 of these work when LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/tls/libGL.so.1. When not set, the applications simply exit with a diagnostic message after dlopen returns an error (ltrace confirms this). When set, the applications that don't work simply crash. Not *all* commercial applications I have suffer from this problem (enemy territory, rtcw, neverwinter nights). Is this buggy use of dlopen? A glibc bug? I can't seem to find any bugs assigned to binutils, glibc, or nvidia-glx that describe this problem, but I don't want to file a bugreport before I know that it isn't some borked configuration on my part.

The reason I am bringing this up now is that I am finally getting a dedicated gateway machine. My dev box is functioning as the gateway now, which is not good. But I would like to minimize the number of services on the gateway, because the more services on your firewall box, the less secure the firewall.

My wife's and mine, the gateway, and the web/mail server in the DMZ. Also a Cisco 678 DSL router which provides NAT and port forwarding. I am debating what to do with squid,junkbuster,lpd,bind,apt-proxy. Should all this go on the gateway? Should any be in the DMZ? I am trying to restrict the DMZ to only public services, but maybe I do not have enough resources. It would be nice to have yet another box to host services in the LAN, but that is not going to happen soon. Basically I need help understanding the pros and cons of different setups.

X displays but console doesn't: vga=?
I cannot get to a console, but X works fine. If my runlevel is set to start graphically my monitor flashes "Invalid Scan Freq" three times and then works fine. If I start in single user mode it flashes "Invalid Scan Freq" forever. when I pass vga=ask to the kernel and select 80x25 the result is the same. When I choose "scan" it never comes back. I have been using the same monitor and video card for 3 years, but this just started last week when I put the card into a different box. The old motherboard is fried so there is no going back. What is the next step in diagnosing? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Real Time Clock won't boot
When I compile the Real Time Clock into my kernel I cannot complete the boot process and login. This is true in single user mode. Strangly, most of the boot process completes. The hang appears to be in the /etc/rcS.d scripts. The last message to the screen is "WARNING: no network interfaces found" which is what I get when mounting samba shares I am mounting at boot. I can't believe the RTC would break Samba, and I get that message with every successful boot as well. What can I try next? Where should I look to fix this?

where are netboot ide-disk modules?
I am installing debian on a system with no removable media. I am netbooting the installation using pxe, dhcp, tftp. This works fine and I can start the installation. However, the install cannot access my harddisk because the ide-disk.o modules is not found. That the module is needed is autodetected, but insmod module load failed so I cannot access my harddrive. What is the solution to this? ~Michael -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
iptables not logging (much)
I cannot get my iptables firewall to log syslog.conf: kern.* -/var/log/kern.log lsmod shows ipt_LOG moduled loaded I created this test "firewall" in an attempt to log something iptables -L Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination LOGall -- anywhere anywhere LOG level emerg Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination LOGall -- anywhere anywhere LOG level emerg ACCEPT all -- anywhere anywhere state NEW,RELATED,ESTABLISHED ACCEPT all -- anywhere anywhere state NEW,RELATED,ESTABLISHED Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination LOGall -- anywhere anywhere LOG level emerg I get nothing in the logs. However, some firewall logging does work. For instance I can log martians with: for f in /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/*/log_martians; do echo 1 > $f done Any ideas on how to get logging to work? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Unidentified subject!
I would like to change which controllers my disks are on, but when I do my system no longer boots. I have three ide drives on hde, hdi, and hdk. My main system is completely on hdk. I boot into hdk. If I move the other two drives I can no longer boot into hdk. Depending on where I move the other drives I get one of two results when I try to boot into hdk again. 1. Usually I get 'L 01 01 01 01 01 01...' Repeating O1's forever. For instance, this happens if I simply remove one of the other two drives. According to the lilo users guide "this shouldn't happen" 2. Sometimes I get "Not a System Disk", that is, I don't even get lilo started. For instance, this happens if I move hde->hdi and hdi->hda. hde and hdg are an off board promise controller. I would like to remove this controller, but without it my system will not boot. I realize that once I get this working I will need to modify /etc/fstab.
