Build problems

Hi

With the 2.4.19 kernel from ltsp-4 cvs I can build a kernel without any
problems.
When I try to do the exact same thing for the 2.4.22 I get these errors
(and the kernel panics) to this command:

depmod -e -a -F /home/projects/lbe-newrms/kernel/System.map -b /mnt/initrd 2.4.22-ltsp-1

of course the directory is correct:
just built by the package.dep file ...
so System.map is just built from the source
and bzImage is the newly created image
-----------------------------------
INSTALL    = make modules_install INSTALL_MOD_PATH=${KERNEL_ROOT} &&    \
	     cp arch/i386/boot/bzImage ${KERNEL_ROOT}/bzImage \
	     cp System.map ${KERNEL_ROOT}
-----------------------------------
ls /home/projects/lbe-newrms/kernel
-----------------------------------
System.map
bzImage
lib

Can any kernel guru explain why, and what I need to do to fix it?

Thanks
James

What SCSI controller, drives, etc?

We are ready to upgrade our LTSP home server to SCSI.  This has a Soyo
Platinum Dragon MB with an AMD Athlon 2000XP processor and 1.5 GB of
DDR.  We also have two application servers that are similarly
configured, with IDE drives, for 36 workstations.  We do mostly
OpenOffice and Mozilla-Firebird with IceWM.  The servers run Mandrake,
if that matters.

The problem is, I can't find any information about SCSI that isn't at
least several years old.  I was looking at two Maxtor 36GB Ultra320
68-pin 10K RPM drives ($149 each), a 5-drive 42" LVD cable w/terminator
($45) and Adaptec SCSI RAID 2120S single channel 64bit/66Mhz Ultra320
controller ($394).

All these are from MultiWave, where we have bought things before.  We
have tried to buy twice from NewEgg, but they found some reason to
cancel our order after lots of effort on our part.  People in the US
generally have no idea of how hard it is to buy things if you live
outside the US.

Please let me know if this combination will work, or if you could
recommend something else (cheaper would be nice ;-).  We also can't
just take it back if the combination doesn't work, so it would help a
lot to talk to someone who has some recent SCSI experience.  TIA.

As for the hard drives, as long as the drive can connect with the 
controller (same interface, i.e., LVD, Fast, Wide, Ultra), then your 
choice should work.  A 10K RPM drive should have a low enough latency 
time for a server.  I have found Maxtor drives to be VERY reliable.

Adaptec SCSI RAID 2120 is a supported controller for Linux.

Serial port redirection


Hi. I'm trying to find a generic serial port redirection solution for a
Linux terminal server environment. I'd like a solution based on RFC2217.  
I'm particularly interested in syncing Palm Pilot PDAs. 

I've found these two servers:

* ser2net
* sredird

Both looks fine. Clients seems to be rare, though. C-Kermit seems to be
the only common client. However, I'd like to be able provide "virtual"
serial port devices on the terminal servers (something like
/dev/xterminals/1/ttyS0). After much searching, I've found
"cyclades-serial-client" (http://www.coker.com.au/cyclades/). This package
has a few problems, though:

* The software is hard to find. 

* No public CVS repository

* Pretty much assumes you are using a Cyclades terminal server

* The author (russell <at> coker.com.au) does not answer mail or accept patches

I've tried cyclades-serial-client both with sredird and ser2net, with some
applications, but it doesn't work very good:

sredird + cyclades-ser-cli + pilot-link

Fedora Core 1 - Installation issues


I have recently changed from redhat 9 to fedora. I am trying to install LTSP but
am having a problem or two. I have installed all of the RPMs fine, but following
the instructions brings up a problem. in the /opt/ltsp directory there is no
templates directory, just i386 and install_templates. I go into
install_templates and try to run ./ltsp_initialize and it starts but does not
show any files to be modified, and when you go into review shows an error on
lines 518 and 530.

Anyone else tried this install and found this, or anyone with any ideas? 

Thanks in advance!!

Ben Dodson

Re: Fedora Core 1 - Installation issues

Before LTSP installation please edit the file
/etc/redhat-release
and change
Fedora Core release 1 (Yarrow)
line to
Fedora Core release 1 9

That should work. At least it worked for me.

Evgeny.

Security Issues

Hello,
         I have ltsp server on Mandrake 9.1 and five clients.
My server is also connected to a general network.
I would like to restrict access to my server to other computers
on the general network.
Should I use firewall ?
And if I use Firewall will it not create problem for the clients ?

Thanks

Varun

Local Hardware

How do you get access to Local Hardware on an LTSP terminal like a Hard
Drive?
