Dear linuxers,
i spent many time with this very fine OS happily, but the last two weeks
brought a lot of problems:
1. I upgraded fm. pl6 to pl10 with gcc 2.3.3. This worked fine, except the
net stuff didn't work correct. I'd like slip and plip to work with pl10,
i've never running tcp/ip correct before. Installing the net-2 stuff
brought some more confusion using links to /conf/net (doesnt exist).
2. XFree-1.2 didn't accept my /dev/tty8 as a free VT. I also installed
XFree86-1.3. This brought me a never running X11 version. 1.2 runned properly
before.
3. Trying to boot Linux this morning brought me to an error "can't read
inode block". I guess that's trouble with hardware (my HD), but i can't
imagine, where or why it comes. I have done no archiving for the last two
or three weeks. Would there be a way for recreating my root partition?
My system: 386sx Notebook, AMD-BIOS, currently 4MB RAM, 120MB IDE-HD
(seagate), pvga1 with 90c20 chip (I guess that's the videochip, but never
found in any description).
Thanks in advance for all hints. (If there would be some ...)
Eckard
