Grub probleme
by François Patte 31 Aug '04

31 Aug '04

Bonjour, I have a laptop with a dual boot XP/FC1; at the beginning, all was working fine the logging on either FC1 or XP was working. Now I cannot access to XP, when it is choosed in grub, I can only see rootnoverify (hd0,0) chainloader +1 ... boot to FC1 works. What did happen, and what can I do. I dont know anything to XP. Thank you. -- François Patte Ecole française d'Extrême-Orient - Pune - Inde Université René Descartes - Paris 5 UFR de mathématiques et informatique http://www.math-info.univ-paris5.fr/~patte

Netgear MA401 PCMCI wireless network adapter
by Fernando & Adriana Messeder 31 Aug '04

Hi, I recently installed FC2 on a IBM laptop and since then I'm looking for instructions on how to install the proper drivers for the MA401 wireless network adapter. The problem is that I'm new to linux and all the instructions I have found so far are not very much step-by-step, rookie oriented style. Does anyone know about a good list of directions for this?

un-dual boot XP & FC2 - 2 harddrives
by kate 31 Aug '04

un-dual boot XP & FC2 How do I correct the boot procedure? Neither will boot separately. How do I fix this? BACKGROUND I have 2 hardrives. hda is XP, and hdb is FC2, managed by Grub. I want to separate them. I bought drive trays, so when I want FC2, I put in FC2 tray. When I want XP, I put in XP tray. RESULT: not dual boot system. QUESTION how do I correct the boot procedure? WHAT I'VE TRIED I take out hdb (FC2) and boot hda XP only. I get: "GRUB hard disk error" I place FC2 as primary master and adjust jumper as master: " Booting from CD ROM <goes to next line and waits...forever> " So, I think that I need to re-write a mbr, but I'm out of my depth here. Any help appreciated. Kate __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Y! Messenger - Communicate in real time. Download now. http://messenger.yahoo.com

Kernel build problem
by Vladimir G. Ivanovic 31 Aug '04

I applied the KDB v4.4-2.6.9-rc1 patches to linux-2.6.8-1.533 (*), and now I get a strange build error: /usr/src/linux-2.6.8-1.533/arch/i386/kernel/entry.S: Assembler messages: /usr/src/linux-2.6.8-1.533/arch/i386/kernel/entry.S:431: Error: symbol `int80_ret_start_marker' is already defined /usr/src/linux-2.6.8-1.533/arch/i386/kernel/entry.S:431: Error: symbol `int80_ret_end_marker' is already defined Here's the compilation line that causes the error: gcc -Wp,-MD,arch/i386/kernel/.entry.o.d -nostdinc -iwithprefix include -D__KERNEL__ -Iinclude -Iinclude2 -I/usr/src/linux-2.6.8-1.533/include -D__ASSEMBLY__ -I/usr/src/linux-2.6.8-1.533/include/asm-i386/mach-default -Iinclude/asm-i386/mach-default -m32 -traditional -m32 -c -o arch/i386/kernel/entry.o /usr/src/linux-2.6.8-1.533/arch/i386/kernel/entry.S But, here's the rub: int80_ret_start_marker is not being redefined at line 431 of entry.S AFAICT. If I grep through all the sources, I find that int80_ret_start_marker is only referenced twice: # find . -name "*[chS]" -exec fgrep -Hn int80_ret_end_marker {} \; ./arch/i386/kernel/entry.S:140: cmpl $int80_ret_end_marker, %eax; \ ./arch/i386/kernel/entry.S:171:int80_ret_end_marker: \ and neither of them are at line 431. What gives? Thanks. --- Vladimir (*) I applied the 2.6.9 KDB patches to the Fedora 2.6.8-1.533 sources instead of the 2.6.8 KDB patches because two 2.6.9 patches were applied to the Fedora 2.6.8-1.533 sources. All patches (except one) applied with fuzz factor of 3. The one that didn't was easily fixed. -- Vladimir G. Ivanovic http://leonora.org/~vladimir Palo Alto, CA 94306 +1 650 678 8014
