Re: [Wlug] SCSI HD Boot Failure! BLA!

by Ben Dow

Try compiling scsi support into your kernel, or using a different precompiled kernel if you're not into compiling your own. You probably had scsi support in the installation kernel but not the one it installs to boot from by default.

SCSI HD Boot Failure! BLA!

by Sands Fish

Hello again all, I've just recently started putting together a Mandrake 8.0 box. (About 3 hours ago, yes in the middle of the night.) For a hard drive, I have an IBM SCSI Drive on an Adaptec 2940-U2 card. When I ran the install, it found the card and the drive automagically. I was impressed and happy. Went through the installation fine, copied all the files. But as soon as I rebooted to run it for the first time, I get the LILO graphical screen, I choose one of the options (any), and get the following error... request_module[block-major-8]: Root fs not mounted VFS: Cannot open root device "801" or 08:01 Please append a correct "root=" boot option Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 08:01 Just some more information. The HD is on SCSI ID #6. The controller is on #7. The SCSI BIOS sees the drive because I can see it report it on boot. When I watch the boot messages fly by for Linux, I see no reference to any sd# devices at all. I'm really completely lost here. Would changing the SCSI ID # help? That doesn't seem to be likely. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanx a lot guys/grrls!! - - s a n d s - - SandsFish(a)ArtKillsYuppieBabies.com

Tribes 2 and SMAC?

by Wesley T Allen

I got a posting in the mailing list about getting the LUG rate for Tribes 2 and SMAC, I am VERY interested in this; but I've not heard anything since the origional message went out. Are people still thinking about this?? On an unrelated note, Loki's online store is down and Tribes 2 is shipping NOW. I hope this a good sign that they're getting so many orders that it crashed their site. Being forward thinking, they have a fax number posted for an alternate ordering method. Way to go Loki! Wes

kde problem

by doug waud

Hi all I have a Toshiba Satellite notebook running SuSE 7.0 (personal edition) with kde as the window manager. For reasons unknown (to me at least) I can no longer click on an icon, for example, the shell icon, on the Kpanel and get a response. Also, the icons on the desktop, netscape and soffice, for example, have disappeared. Finally, if I click on the K menu button I can navigate out to the various programs, but again nothing responds. I can however, hit Alt/F2, get a command window, type in netscape, xterm or soffice, and the respective application comes up! I have searched the web and found no hints as to what might be going on. I happen to have the Que "Practical KDE" by Dennis Powell where, on page 46, under "Troubleshooting" there is a section "KDE starts but Applications won't". He suggests a chmod 1777 /tmp which I tried (and got drwxrwxrwt which says I didn't hit a typo) but the problem remained. I also tried chmod -RV 1777 /tmp to recursively chmod (I found several subdirectories in /tmp) but again without success. :-( The KDE version is 1.1.2 according to the SuSE box. The kernel is 2.2.12 (but, that, I suspect, is irrelevant). So, my specific question is "has anyone out there seen this and/or knows the solution/fix?". If not, a broader question is "what would you try next?" (without blowing away everything and reinstalling linux :-) --- this same SuSE/KDE works fine on a Dell desktop box). As you might gather, I have reached the point where I am open to suggestions of any kind :-) doug

Hey, I was wondering if any of you knew reliable and accurate sites on VAX/VMS especially things that deal with networking and security. I need to right a technical paper on those. And I'm at a lost of reliable sources since google is me 9,000 plus sites and at the ones I've looked at none of them are what I am looking for.
