... arne Unhiding the partition won't change the partition itself, but only set the 'hidden' flag in the mbr to off. It won't change the contents of the ...
Hi all! Yesterday I compiled several times my kernel and I think I must have done something wierd (although I cannot see how) now when it boots it gives me the...
Hi, I'd really appreciate some help on this, as I think I have basically screwed up a lot of things. Basically, after compiling the kernel, as I said in my...
In general, I believe that as long as you can dismount the drive, you are safe to remove it. That's what I do with my internal drives. Windows needs a utility...
Got an issue whereby my i8200 (running Debian Sarge a la Libranet 2.8) will often go blank shortly after gdm starts after a reboot. There is nothing in the...
... This may be a little late but, IMO, the 8500 is not an ideal platform for Linux. I jsut set up a couple and am really glad I decided on the 840. The...
Hi: First, I apologize if this is not the right forum. I purchased a dell Inspiron 4150 and am trying to make it a dual boot machine. I have a DVD-ROM drive. ...
... Recompiling the kernel shouldn't lead to an inability of services to find their library files, AFAIK. Unless you have set up /usr on, say, a partition that...
... Just on the topic of DHCP hangs (which aren't specific to your laptop, btw). I didn't realise I could avoid those those hangs until I saw the way knoppix...
It seems to me that DRI & ACPI won't work on this machine w/ Debian Woody. For Dri: I've compiled the latest kernel and tried it with different XFREE...
Hi, all. I would have thought this was something all over the 'net or groups, but apparently it's not. Has anyone out there had success synching a Compaq iPaq...
Even if I have umount'ed the drive, when I disconnect the cable, /var/log/messages starts filling up with errors about the SCSI device timing out, and I have...
I myself installed Mandrake Linux 9.1 on Inspiron 5100, and it worked like a charm. Is your other OS some linux distro? It should boot off the CD just fine, as...
Inspiron 4150, Gentoo and I guess I used the wrong term. I swap the expansion bay drive while running. Just make sure it's unmounted and pop it out. ... -- ...
... Well, Sarge will be released in a couple of months... Why not save yourself the hassle of a major upgrade in December, and add a sarge source to your...
Ah, your modular bay is part of the laptop itself, yes? Mine is not built into the laptop, it connects with a cable. I can't swap the drive in the bay without...
What laptop are you using? Gentoo doesn't necessarily come with any specific laptop utilities other than the usual klaptop and the i8kutils. However with...
a latitude C400. I've just determined that the floppy works, it's just the cd-rw drive that's not working. It's hdc if connected when I boot. I found a few...
If it's a cd-rw make sure you've compiled in the appropriate kernel options / modules. You may have to search for a ide-scsi emulation howto on google. I did...
well, turns out it gets created as /dev/scd0, not /dev/hdc. The modules it loads are sg, sr_mod, ide-scsi, scsi_mod, ide-cd, and cdrom. The drive itself works...
... Not too bad - I'm running a 2.4.20-19.9 kernel, RH9, with a 7200rpm Hitachi 2.5" HD - getting: /dev/hda: Timing buffer-cache reads: 128 MB in 0.34...
What is stopping you from hotswapping it? is there activity on the bus that connects it? I usually just unmount the drive, remove it, and put in the other...
... Argh!!! There goes any reason I had for not trying to source out one of those 7200rpm drives. Does anybody know if it's possible to get them from Dell for...
If I disconnect the cable, with the drive unmounted, I get a series of kernel messages listed below, but they don't stop until I reboot. Also, I can't unload...

I see, unfortunately I'm not as familiar with Redhat's treatment of this. If possible try it with Knoppix just to be sure it's not a hardware specific thing....
