From: w6i@ornl.gov (John C. Wingenbach) Subject: [Q] last(b), CAD-sync, eth0 receiver overrun, root/boot disk Date: Wed, 30 Jun 1993 17:48:56 GMT
I saved a few up to throw them out at once...
1) I have noticed that last never reports that a session has ended. It is
always reporting still logged on?
2) lastb does not provied anything. I have created the /etc/btmp file and
have purposefully attempted to log in with incorrect password. However,
nothing shows up?
3) Does CAD perform a SYNC or do I need to execute it prior to CAD?
4) Periodically, I receive the following message:
eth0: receiver overrun
Is this bad/good/ugly? Does this just mean that my 3c503 can't handle
all of the packets that are hitting it (most of which not for PC)?
5) I have been trying to create a boot disk (similar to SLS a1 boot), so I
can install Linux on my PC at home (IN2000 scsi). However, I can not seem to
get it to work. Here is what I have done:
a) added patches as required by in2000.diff
b) modified /linux/Makefile:
ROOTDEV = FLOPPY
RAMDISK = -DRAMDISK=512
c) make config
d) make clean
e) make dep
f) make
g) cp /linux/Image /dev/fd0
The resulting floppy boot:
loading....
Select VGA mode
system reboots itself UGH!!!
