I am maling this to you because I get: You should not send mail from your root account. Our listserver ignores mail that comes from a daemon. Please use adduser and create a regular user account for you and send mail from that account. If you haven't sent from a root account there is a chance that our list server has inserted a line like "Sender: root@..." which confuses the lists software. In that case please wait few hours and resend. > From joey@murphy.debian.org Wed Oct 13 21:29:06 1999 > Return-Path: <joey@murphy.debian.org> > Received: at Infodrom Oldenburg (/\##/\ Smail-3.2.0.102 1998-Aug-2 #2) > from gimli.Informatik.Uni-Oldenburg.DE by finlandia.Infodrom.North.DE > via smail with smtp > id <m11bU5A-000bAEC@finlandia.Infodrom.North.DE> > for <joey@infodrom.north.de>; Wed, 13 Oct 1999 21:29:04 +0200 (CEST) > Received: from ([134.106.1.10]) by teergrube (0 sec delayed, relaying denied) > Received: from murphy.debian.org ([209.41.108.199]) > by gimli.Informatik.Uni-Oldenburg.DE (Smail3.1.29.1) > id <m11bU50-0003kfC>; Wed, 13 Oct 99 21:28 CES > Received: (qmail 19894 invoked by uid 847); 13 Oct 1999 19:28:13 -0000 > Received: (qmail 19860 invoked by uid 38); 13 Oct 1999 19:28:12 -0000 > Received: (qmail 19848 invoked by uid 38); 13 Oct 1999 19:28:12 -0000 WHEN i TRY TO MAIL THE DEBIAN-USER MAILING LIST PLEASE FORWARD THIS TO THE CORRECT LOCATION. __________________ First I would just like to thank the people behind the Debian distribution. I work with software and have been very impressed with the way they have organized their system distribution updates. to me ( still a "newbie") dselect is a vital tool worth it's weight in gold! 1.) I installed Debian GNU/ Linux 2.1 using floppy images downloaded from the internet. - My system is Dual pentium 200 Mhz, 3Com 3C905, NE2000 ( linksys- isa), Diamond Firport HP C310 SCSI-2 , with 96 Meg ram, Acer CD-ROM - Install worked great and when I boot up I get eth0 (3Com) and eth1 (ne2000), all modules loaded perfectly no erroneous messages on boot - However no SMP support and driver for the 3Com card does not work correct (messages in /var/log/syslog problems with irq) - DHCPD client daemon started ( I want to use a cable modem) no inet address from ifconfig -a for eth1. 2.) I recompile my kernel using "make-kpkg" and kernel-source-2.0.36 - make menuconfig - make dep - make-kpkg clean - make-kpkg --revision=smp700 kernel-image - make-kpkg --revision=smp700 modules-image - cd.. - dpkg --install kernel-source-2.0.36_smp700_i386.deb - here I have to mv /lib/modules/2.0.36 to /lib/modules/2.0.36.old - then I get prompted to make a boot floppy since I cannot boot from my scsi (bios does not see it) I attempt it - use your current /etc/lilo.conf? I say yes - error testing lilo.conf........etc - re execute dpkg --install kernel-source-2.0.36_smp700_i386.deb - create boot floppy and new lilo.conf 3.) When I reboot I lose my eth1 (NE2000) and get multiple messages such as cannot find module ne.............etc - SMP works great, no eth1, eth0 works just fine( 3C905), dhcpcd has problems great (no interface..attached to eth1) - If i try to boot off an old floppy (not created by compile) I still get the same messages but with no SMP support. I believe something about the way I compiled my kernel is causing me problems. However I selected "Loaded modules support" and the drivers required for both ethernet cards. i.e. 3c59x and ne. What can I do to get both ethernet cards working and all modules loaded at boot time and still keep my SMP support? and help is greatly appreciated.Thank You!
