Software RAID1 on SuSE 8.1 wont boot.
The solution works with
SuSE8.1, but will probably fit any other LINUX distributions. Look at my
lilo.conf.
The problem is that lilo wont write the correct MBR with the standard lilo.conf made by YAST. If you add the parameter 'raid-extra-boot = /dev/hdx,/dev/hdy' (Insert the correct device names) then lilo will write the MBR as you want.
To start your RAID1 after you se the error : Insert CD1, accept whatever language, choose 'boot installed OS', after booting your system : edit /etc/lilo.conf as descriped, run lilo -- boot the box, be happy.>br>
If you use anthother LINUX dist, use whatever boot tool you got and start from 'edit /etc/lilo.conf'.
It wont work with lilo version less than 22 !.
PPPD with auto dial.Why fight diald when you can use pppd
for automatic dial up connections. The solution works with
SuSE
6.4, but can easely fit later/other distributions. You will find the files

Installing SuSE 7.3 on Dell
Inspiron 8000 with Nvidia Geforce 2 Go.
Read
this
and concentrate at the
SuSE
section. You can get my
XF86Config
file, it will work with both the external PS2 mouse and the build in touch
pad.

Dell
Inspiron 8000 with SuSE 7.3 hangs up when removing or connecting AC power
. (The quick solution.)
Get the 2.4.16 kernel from
SuSE
, and your problem ends. There's a bug/feature in
SuSE
kernel 2.4.10 so it won't work in your Inspiron 8000.
Dell
Inspiron 8000 with Level One
WPC-0100 11Mbps Wireless PCMCIA adapter and
SuSE
7.3.
The files you need to tamper are placed in /etc/pcmcia/ . Make sure you
have installeded these packages: pcmcia, pcmcia-cardinfo and wireless-tools
!
In the default
SuSE
7.3 installation cardmgr wil try to load the orinoco_cs module, but you
need the wvlan_cs for your WPC-0100.
If you don't have any pc-cards using the orinoco_cs module the quick and
dirty way is to rename the /etc/pcmcia/orinoco_cs.conf to something not ending
at .conf.
There's a reference to *.conf files in /etc/pcmcia/config so by this way
you wont brake anything not using the orinoco_cs module. Do you have a pc-card
using the orinoco_cs module then you have to uncomment the reference to
your card in /etc/pcmcia/orinoco_cs.conf.
But beware, you are not trough yet.
/etc/pcmcia/config.opts have a section for the wvlan_cs module. Chose the
one prober for you.
If anyone out there finds out to pass the rate option to the module when
inserting the card, then don't hesitate to send me a mail ;-)
You can play around with iwconfig, iwspy and iwpriv from the wireless-tools
package and find usefull info about the wlan's in your area.
