[techtalk] VMWare and LILO configuration
Hello I have installed VMWare on my Linux (host). There are 2 seprate HDs on this system. I have created raw disks to install the guest OSs. Win98 is installed as a guest OS on one raw disk (/dev/hda5). The problem now is with LILO. I have installed LILO on my /dev/hda MBR. Each time I power on the VMWare, it goes to the LILO prompt. So I modified the lilo.conf to provide Win98 as an option. At the VMWare LILO prompt I select Win98 and then Win98 starts fine. In the current LILO configuration, I have: boot=/dev/hda Can anyone recommend a better LILO and/or VMWare configuration? I prefer that VMWare not to prompt me for the guest OS. I plan to install other Guest OSs on other HD (/dev/hdb). How will the "boot" directive in lilo.conf, direct to the other guest OSs on /dev/hdb1 or /dev/hdb2 etc? Thank you in advance.

Re: [techtalk] sound card
hm, sounds like a RedHat system to me... I got myself a SoundBlaster PCI512 which actually uses emu10k1, funny enough that kudzu (sp?) in RH 6.2 detected and configured the card automagically in Debian Potato (my main system now) it was a lot harder ;-) have fun, Gina On Sat, 06 Jan 2001 22:02:39 CST, Lyta Alexander writes: >On Mon, 5 Mar 2001, Elizabeth Wright wrote: >> >> i've got instructions on how to configure the sound system. i log in as >> root, stick in the first cd that came with the book, and start an x-terminal >> session. i type sndconfig and get their little blue magic window. it has >> the correct sound card detected (i've got a Creative SoundBlaster Live card) >> but when it runs the test, I dont hear anything. i've tried locating the >> card manually by looking in the /proc directory (which didnt do anything if >> i remember right) and also by looking through the boot log > /var/log/dmesg>, which detected the correct card, but once again running the >> test I dont hear a thing.

Throw enough of the little buggers together and they neutralize each other and you get a usable text editor.
