Make sure you put the lilo within 1024 cylinders because older kernels have this limitation. Fdisk (from linux cd) will give you the cylinder no details. Accordingly create the partitions that you want for win98 (d:) swap, /boot, /usr and /root. Install lilo on the MBR.

Hi friends, I was able to compile a new linux kernel 2.4.4 on my office comp and booted fine. However whenever i do a linuxconf, it gives me a Broken pipe error. Also, i could not do depmod -ae linux-2.4.4 after copying the bzImage and System.map and did just a depmod -ae Please advise.

SIOCADDRT: No such device
by Mayur Joshi 06 Jul '01

06 Jul '01

Dear Linuxers, I have a newwork of 2 machines running RH 7.0 on the network 192.168.2.0. I was trying out Heartbeat(High availibility solution for Linux) on those 2 machines. I have configured Heartbeat to listen to ip 192.168.1.x. I tried to route request to 192.168.1.x to the network of 192.168.2.0. When I restart the network I get the error: SIOCADDRT: No such device In the docs of Heartbeat I found that I may need to enable IP aliasing in the kernel build. They asked to check for /usr/src/linux/.config and check CONFIG_IP_ALIAS=y. Now I don't find that file in the specified path. I just want to know on RH 7.0 how will I come to know whether that option is set or not. Best regards, Mayur Joshi _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.

[OT] Noisy hard disks

My new (as in, bought today) Seagate Barracuda 20GB is making high-pitched (sounds to be around 10kHz) whines now and then. Is it going to fail or something? Is this normal? -- Satya. <URL:http://satya.virtualave.net/> US-bound grad students! For pre-apps, see <URL:http://quickapps.cjb.net/> Don't use a big word where a diminutive one will suffice.
