Re: TI-H: Linux ftp



Eeep...apparently i've become the Linux tech support guy for the list. :>
Anyway, you do a pnpdump >/etc/isapnp.conf and uncomment the right region,
AND uncomment the (ACT Y) at the bottom of that section (telling it to set
the card active. Then do an isapnp /etc/isapnp.conf (I know debian does
this on startup, not sure about redhat or schmackware). You'll probably
have to recoming your kernel with serial support as a module. Of course,
RedHat may come with it as a module, again, not sure (Once you get to use
Linux a lot, you sort of ignore pre-packaged kernels :). Also, if X locks
up or your mouse freezes, use Ctrl+Alt+Shift+BackSpace to get out of X.
Then you should be able to work from the console (which is a might better
place to try hardware configuration mind you). The not booting now thing is
i'm afraid, a fairly nasty problem. If you didn't have any useful data on
there, just reload the whole thing. It's prolly lost tons of files by now
anyway :>. If you had something important, you're gonna need another hard
disk and a Linux boot disk, so you can mount the fraggled file system, and
try to retrieve what you needed. If ya have any more questions, mail me
personally.
