copy of fstab and modprobe.conf for kernel 2.6.1


Hi

I have successfully compiled kernel 2.6.1 for standalone athlon, running on Suse 9. However, I would like to see a copy of other successful fstab and modprobe.conf files because I am not very confident that mine is right.

i am not sure i understand ..
modprobe.conf and fstab files are for a lack of better terms, system dependant ....
for instance ..
for example pertaining to the fsab :

i have 5 harddrives in my machine where as you may have 1, or 7 ..

and for example pertaining to the modules.conf ..

i have an nvidia gfx card where i have a line in modules file for it, but you may have a 2 meg trident video card ..

although these are pure examples, i am not sure what your getting at by wanting to see other peoples files ...

Sorry

I have a nvdiia mx440 I believe, having upgraded the driver from 'minion. I have a via82xx onboard sound card. Both are working but I get some errors on the sound card. I have 1x sata maxtor 80 gb hard drive 1x usb maxtor ext hd, I have epson 740 printer, perfection scanner, canon digital camera, 1x atapi dvd drive which gives the following error with 'dmesg'.

'ATAPI device hdh:
Error: Illegal request -- (Sense key=0x05)
Cannot read medium - incompatible format -- (asc=0x30, ascq=0x02)
The failed "Read Subchannel" packet command was:
"42 02 40 01 00 00 00 00 10 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 "
hdh: packet command error: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
hdh: packet command error: error=0x54 '

This is my fstab

/dev/hdc1 / ext2 defaults 1 1
/dev/hdc2 /home ext2 defaults 1 2
/dev/hdc3 swap swap pri=42 0 0
devpts /dev/pts devpts mode=0620,gid=5 0 0
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
#none /sys sysfs defaults 0 0
usbfs /proc/bus/usb usbfs devmode=0666 0 0
#usbfs /proc/bus/usb usbfs defautls,noauto 0 0
#/dev/cdrom /media/cdrom auto ro,noauto,user,exec 0 0
/dev/dvd /media/dvd auto ro,noauto,user,exec 0 0 (int atapi dvd)
/dev/fd0 /media/floppy auto noauto,user,sync 0 0
/dev/sr0 /media/sr0 auto ro,noauto,user,exec 0 0 (ext iomega writer)
/dev/sda1 /media/sda1 auto sync,noauto,user,exec 0 0 (usb ext hard disk)
/dev/sdb1 /media/sdb1 auto sync,noauto,user,exec 0 0 (usb mem stick)

My modprobe.conf is too long to add here. I had alot of problems upgrading, mainly due to module-init-tool and configuring fstab to load my hardware. I was wanting to see successful files to compare mine to so I could see I did it right. I am not sure of the new sysfs system and since I get an error message while booting 'can't mount /proc/bus/usbfs no such filesystem' or something like that. However I am getting access to the usb devices Ok but I sometimes can't access the dvd drive.

Sorry if I go on a bit.
