Re: [ILUG-BOM] Kernel Compilation Problems

>In network devices, enable Ethernet 10/100, under ethernet, enable >RTL8139 as a module. Yes I enabled it as a module. But the problem is after rebooting when I see /lib/modules/2.4.12/kernel/drivers/net/dummy.o and thats it. I dont see 8139too.o. Infact I can just see a directory net in drivers. Whereas in my old kernel /lib/modules/2.4.2-12/kernel/drivers, I can see many modules. many of those not required though. But in the new kernel modules I dont see anything other than net. Not even fs, probably that is why my windows partitions also cannot be mounted, says not supported by kernel. I guess there is some mistake I might be doing but can't figure it out. Do I ned to make any changes to /etc/modules.conf. The entry for 8139too is already there. Do I have to kmod, modprobe etc before rebooting the first time. PLease help.

mouse not responding in KDE
by Parul Mathur 17 Oct '01

17 Oct '01

Hello, I have a Microsoft Intellimouse (2 buttons) which is serially connected to DOS COM1. Whenever I run KDE, the mouse does not respond but it does change its icon depending on what is positioned underneath it. For example, while on the desktop, it looks like a pointer but when xterm is running, it changes to an "I" bar. The relevant portion of my X configuration file is as follows: ------------ /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 ------------- # File generated by anaconda. Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "Anaconda Configured" Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0 InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer" InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard" EndSection <snip> Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Mouse0" Driver "mouse" Option "Protocol" "Microsoft" Option "Device" "/dev/ttyS0" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" Option "Emulate3Buttons" "yes" EndSection ------------------------------------------------- The /etc/sysconfig/mouse file is as follows: ----------------/etc/sysconfig/mouse ---------------- FULLNAME="Generic - 2 Button Mouse (serial)" MOUSETYPE="Microsoft" XEMU3="yes" XMOUSETYPE="Microsoft" ------------------------------------------------- Please suggest some solution. Thanks. Parul Mathur

switch INIT run level at boot time
by Parul Mathur 16 Oct '01

16 Oct '01

Hello, I edited the /etc/inittab file so that the INIT run level is 5 by default. When my machine starts, it boots normally upto the command line interface login prompt and then tries to start X. It is unable to do so successfully - the screen keeps flickering and sometimes shows a large X in the middle. I tried to come out of it by pressing Ctrl-Alt-F1 and Ctrl-Alt-Backspace. None of these work. I have to invariably type Ctrl-Alt-Del to reboot. I tried to boot from the PCQLinux 7.1 CD ROM and go into "linux rescue" mode but the system would hang after displaying the message "Starting anaconda...please wait". Is it possible to change the INIT run levl at boot time by passing the appropriate command to the kernel? If not, what is the solution to this problem? I cannot get any work done at all because of it! Thanks. Parul Mathur
