Hi Dave, Do you think this will work even if the drive is encrypted? I've been told that may be an issue. I don't recall encrypting the drive, but I wouldn't put it past Win 2K server to do it automatically for security reasons --afterall, this is a domain controller.
Thanks,

thanks for the suggestions guys. What's this knoppix-std? I'll have to look into it. Safe Mode never seems to boot into the login prompt. I've waited 20 minutes, but I suppose that's not enough. I've also tried ntfs.com's Reader, but it just sits there with the same message of "Scanning for Files an...

Thanks for the response Dave. I finally figured it all out. Thanks!

Hello Fellow bp6'ers! As my sig below indicates, I have a bp6 with 500Mhz dualies running Win 2k Server. Windows partition is installed on the first drive (IBM) and my second drive (WD) houses all of my phat files. Unfortunately, my previously rock-solid bp6 server has started freezing and locking u...

Let me first thank hyperspace and the Linux group for all their advice to me when I had RH Linux 9 & 10 (aka Fedora) installed on my BP6 box. Unfortunately, the learning was a little too slow for my tastes on the Linux side, so I decided to change my BP6 box to a Win2K server. I needed an immediate...

thanks tapeworm. No problem about the length of your message. The more info, the better. I'll definitely give your suggestions a try. So far, its been really great hearing from everybody and the suggestions/help have been excellent. Thanks everyone. _merker19 PS --Yes, I am doing everything as root....

I went into the sbin directory and executed the suggested modprobe and lsmod commands, but they returned nothing --which means they ran correctly, but nothing returned. I did finally locate the apm module and it's called apmd and I did a rpm -q apmd and got: apmd-3.0.2-18 When I execute apmd, I get:...

I don't think I want to go that far, but thanks for the tip.

bummer! thx for the tip. Can anyone recommend an ultra quiet fan/heatsink for my proc?

affirmative. I'll give it a shot. thx hyper!

modprobe and lsmod weren't commands that my bash shell understood. I did locate the apm executable: /usr/bin/apm I tried to execute apm, but it returned: "No APM support in kernel" I guess I need to load this module or compile it into the kernel? Any ideas? I'll look through RH's site to see if I ca...

Is anyone running their dual Celeries with just heatsinks and NO cpu fans? Just wondering if it's possible. If it is, what kind of heatsinks are you using?

wow! awesome! I can't wait to try this at home. Thanks tapeworm!

Hi tapeworm:
I get the following response too.

apm: BIOS version 1.2 Flags 0x07 (Driver version 1.16)
apm: disabled - APM is not SMP safe.

thanks a lot for the replies, guys! I need some help to implement the solution. Should I edit the apm.c file or should I try to locate the apm module and download the patched version? Sorry, I'm new at this and I need a little push in the right direction.
TIA!

Hi All: I've been looking for some APM support (so my comp will powerdown when I issue the shutdown command) for my Linux installation of RH9 and I came across this from the Redhat site: (x86 kernel) do NOT enable APM (advanced power management)! APM and SMP are not compatible, and your system will ...

I'm a Linux Newb and I have RH9 installed onto my bp6. The GUI interface is beautiful and it works pretty well. So far, it's made my ventures into Linuxland much more enjoyable.

Thanks Homer. I don't know if it'll work after removing the line, but it's worth a shot.

Awesome. Thanks for the input. I finally installed RH9 and I pretty much let RH do its thing and accepted all the automatic settings. RH setup my HD as follows: HD 1 (on IDE Channel 1) \boot FREE SPACE HD 2 (on HPT366 Channel 1) \ SWAP It seems to be running fine. The only problem I'm experiencing i...

Hey 24/7:
Are there any performance gains or losses between the two solutions(Install OS on disk1, storage on disk 2 ---OR--- Install ALL on disk1)?
Thanks,

Hi All: I'm getting ready to install the Server edition of RH9 so I can host my website, FTP site, sendmail, and anything else I can think of. The problem is I'm new to Linux and what little I know seems to be bogging me down on the planning stage. I guess I can give it a shot, but I'm pretty sure I...

so, my fellow bp6ers, it appears that the bp6 is not a gaming rig... but just curious, but what do ppl use their system for? i mean, surely surfin the the web, composing word docs, photoshop work, seti, etc... but what else? i'm just curious what u guys do with ur system...

omg... i think i'm confused. I read ur the articles in ur link, hyperspace... but i keep hitting all these names... i think i'm supposed to replace the ec10 component... is this correct?

they don't get that hot at all, i'm just annoyed with the noise...

fair enuff... most video cards today scale their performance in accordance with the cpu. thx for your input!
