Dear Luggers,
I am using Suse Linux 8.2. When I am trying to boot the stock kernel
image which came with the distro, by using loadlin (ie. loadlin.exe -
from DOS) I get an error message like this,
Uncompressing Linux............
Invalid compress format
--System Halted.
Earlier I had recomplied a new kernel image, and I am able to boot this
image with loadlin but unable to do so with the stock kernel of the
distro. I had experienced the same problem with Red Hat 8.0/9.0, but not
with RH 7.1/6.2.
Why is it so? The command 'file' gives the following output (for the
stock kernel),
rajen@localhost:~> file /boot/vmlinuz
/boot/vmlinuz: Linux/i386 Kernel, Setup Version 0x203, bzImage
and for the re-complied kernel the output is,
rajen@localhost:~> file /boot/vmlinuz.custom
/boot/vmlinuz.custom: Linux/i386 Kernel, Setup Version 0x203, bzImage
What seems to be problem? I tried by giving the parameters like "initrd=
<initrd_image_file>", but the same thing. Basically the system just
refuses to boot since it is not able to uncompress the kernel image.
Any pointers?
Rajen.
hi sampat,
pls upload the RHCE Docs softcopy to a public FTP server or some place
like tripod, and post the link to the list so that all those interested can
dload it directly frm there instead of sending requests.

Has anyone tried some Y! chat client?
Curphoo doesn't seem to work.
I think it is due to authentication changes by Yahoo!

INDIAN TRANSPORT sector treads cautiously on the
Linux road. Most transport operators acknowledge the
role of Linux-based software not only in cost
cutting, but also in offering customers a better
experience. However, investment costs, lack of
support and knowhow are concerns of potential
GNU/Linux users in this sector.
IN INDIA, ON THE enterprise desktop front, many enterprises use Linux to

Hello Everybody
One of the founders of the open-source software initiative is planning
to release a new version of Linux to challenge Red Hat's enterprise
version of the operating system, and fill the hole left in the consumer
market since Red Hat announced last week it would no longer sell a
consumer version in retail stores.
The new version of Linux, called UserLinux, is being proposed by
open-source sage Bruce Perens, who claims to have the backing of some of
the world's largest companies, across a number of business sectors.
UserLinux, which will be paid for with multimillion-dollar donations
from Perens' corporate backers, will be free for unlimited use, and will
be certified by large computer makers.
The companies sponsoring UserLinux are eager for an alternative to
Microsoft products, which they see as expensive, buggy, vulnerable to
viruses and difficult to deploy and maintain, said Perens, speaking at
the first meeting of the Desktop Linux Consortium. He said the companies
will also welcome an alternative to Red Hat and other commercial
versions of Linux, which come with "odious" terms, limiting the number
of seats and requiring expensive service contracts that are voided if
users attempt to modify the software.
