URGENT: Kernel upgrade breaks openAFS

2002-06-10 Thread Andrew Perrin
Greetings- Upgrading to 2.4.18 today, I seem to have broken my openAFS client configuration. Using *either* version (the one from testing on debian.org or 1.2.4 from openafs.org) of openafs-modules-source, when I do make-kpkg modules_image the make fails thus: ../afs/../afs/../rx/../rx/rx_kmutex

No, I don't think you're right. Hubs are effectively passive, so they don't "count" as a termination point (IIRC). Switches -- or, for that matter, repeaters -- do, since they are active devices. ap -- Andrew J Perrin - http://w

ipchains, iptables, and 2.4.18

I'd like to upgrade my home machine's kernel to 2.4.18, but I'm not too excited about moving from ipchains to iptables. (This machine acts as a router from the home network [on eth0] and our DSL service [eth1].) So, a few questions: - How easy or hard is it to migrate an ipchains ruleset to iptab

Has anyone got one of these working? It's a CoStar LabelWriter XL, a serial label printer. Theoretically a driver called pbm2lwxl is supposed to drive it, but I get no results whatsoever. If anyone's got one going I'd appreciate a hand. -

1.) Don't both with linking to linux. Just: cd /usr/src/kernel-source-2.4.18 make menuconfig make-kpkg 2.) Don't use --revision to note the kernel version; make-kpkg will do that for you. Use --revision if you want to tag it to specific config options you've used. I generally do: make-kpkg --rev

The "new" LILO (22.2) doesn't seem to allow that - I can only select from a menu. Have I missed something? Anyway, booting single doesn't help by itself, because openAFS still tried to load when coming up in single-user mode. I'll try the init=/bin/sh trick next time. Thanks to all.
