Can GRUB boot GRUB?
by Iain Stephen
Hi all,
I have two HDDs sda and hda.
sda (master SATA):
WindowsXP (30GB) Only because I need it for OU work.
FC4 (200GB) Because I love it.
hda (master IDE):
Debian (20GB) Because I like trying other Linux's.
I would like to use hda for Debian (or perhaps testing FC5) but I want
GRUB on hda to be independent of GRUB on sda; so that if Debian updated
its version of GRUB's menu.lst I wouldn't need to edit menu.lst on sda.
What I'm looking for is a way for GRUB on sda to boot GRUB on hda in the
same way as GRUB can boot Windows.
I've tried googeling and reading the man pages and although there are
plenty of examples of editing menu.lst to boot other OS's I can't find
what I want, GRUB (sda) boot GRUB (hda).
Is it possible or have I just missed it?

RE: samba shares in FC4
by Craig Preston
I don't think the fact it is on a separate partiotion should have
anything to do with it. I take it the directory exists, and you haven't
accidentally created a file called public in the data directory. If you
go ls -ld /data/public it sees the directory ok?

Yes it was a typo.
Your suggestion didn't help. I know I have the conf file right because
if I change the public share to something under / like /boot it works
fine. But because /data is a separate partition I'm having trouble.

Hard disk drivers at bootup with new kernel
by Phillip
We have a High Point Sata controller. When we boot up with an updated
kernel, the OS reports that it cannot find the disk.
How do we tell the new kernel at boot up where to find the driver?
Details: grub can see the available kernels; booting on the old kernel
works; booting with the new kernel gives the cannot find disk message.

I am trying to share a directory in FC4. readable and writable to
everyone.
The directory is /data/public : 2777 root:root. It is an ext3 partition.
This is my smb.conf:
[global]
workgroup = HOMENETWORK
netbios name = server
server string = Samba Server
security = SHARE
guest account = guest
hosts allow = 127.0.0.1, 192.168.0.0/24
hosts deny = 192.168.0.1/24
[public]
comment = Public Stuff
path = /data/public
read only = No
guest ok - Yes
I am able to browse the server but when I open the share public I get an
error that the directory doesn't exist.
The /data directory is a ext3 partition. I am able to share a directory
in the / partition with no problems.
I am stumped. --Louis

How-To for FC4/Samba
by Ed Babin
Can someone point me to a step-by-step on samba w/FC4? Honestly, I'm only
trying a basic share, no rocket science. I've already a samba server on RH9
with the same clients and users trying to access a share on FC4. Logs and
testparm returns everything fine. Had SELINUX on and off. Cannot browse even
home directories.
Thanks,
exasperated

Hi again Antonio!
I just have a bit of a thought here. You may have simply a problem with the
URL names requested by yum. Is it possible that somehow the repositories
have been re-named (their URLs) and that was not completed in the update
process. If I try to nslookup or whois the long repo URLs you sent in your
first message they fail. Are the addresses differant (the requested URL's
yum is attempting to access) on the two machines? If I point firefox at the
addresses it finds them - perhaps the "redirection" switch in a yum config
file is set differently. Just bits of thoughts.
I must say I am curious what kind of Internet access you have over there?
How do you get Internet to the machines?
Ethereal gets down to the nitty gritty and would probably be a good one to
do here. Of course it takes time.
Good Hunting!

file names lower-cased on cp from CD
by Joel Rees
Not sure if this is OT or not, but I'll ask anyway.
The CD was apparently burned on a MSWxxx box with a shift-jis file
system. (At any rate, there are shift-jis file names in the mix.)
That the shift-jis file names get mojibake-d is one thing, but latin
file names throughout the CD come out all lower-case, which of course
mucks up javac.
Anybody with any ideas as to why, and as to how to get around this kind
of behavior?

sound problem after updating to kernel-2.6.15-1.1831_FC4
by Jack Wallen
today i did an update to the kernel listed above. after the update i
rebooted only to discover no sound. i re-ran the soundcard detection but
to no avail. the card is an onboard via 8237 that was working just fine
before the update.
i've googled it a bit but have found no mention of this issue.
anyone have any idea what's going on and how to resolve the problem?
thank you so much.

Slow FC4, perhaps swap is to blame
by John Degenstein
Alright, to begin here are my system specs:
Athlon 64 3200+
512 MB PC2100 DDR
200 GB SATA
160 GB IDE
Nvidia GF4 4000 (128MB)
This is a problem I have been trying to fix for several months now,
and I am pretty sure it is the swap space on this computer has
something to do with it. When I first start up the computer it is
blazing fast, and I have no problem filling 4 workspaces up with
resource intensive programs. But as the days and weeks wear on the
computer gets progressively slower, to the point where simply
switching between workspaces with only 3 or 4 programs open becomes
incredibly slow. The problem also seems to relate to programs that
use Java, such as azureus and qnext, it seems to me that there is some
kind of memory leak that builds up in the swap space over time. Even
after the swap space has been filled I attempt to clear it by closing
all open programs, but this has no effect and it is beginning to drive
me crazy.
I did manage to find a command which I somehow got to work at least
several times:
swapoff -a /dev/logVol00/_something_here
This command alleviated my problems immediately, but then I started to
get errors about running out of memory from new programs I was trying
to open so I enabled swap again with the command "swapon". Another
possible source of my problems is the fact I am running PC2100 DDR
rather than the minimum that my motherboard supposedly supports,
PC2700, because of this I had to underclock some of the components on
my mobo so that the computer would boot.
So I guess my main question is: is the swap space in Linux messed up,
or is it simply a problem from Java???
Thanks in advance,
John Degenstein
