Alhamdulillah finally im back bloggin.. after disappearing for quite sometime.. due to excessive assignment and test that i have to do.This term java assignment was quite tough.. they expect us to do the system in an object oriented manner.So..used linked list for the system.While i was doing it, i did face lot of problem..certain module werent able to run properly.. gosh.. why laa i hate programming.Luckily there's a few classmate who were passing some sort of code regarding to the assignment.I managed to get the codes from them.. and able to make some changes to the code and pass up.But theres one or two modules which little bit bengong.. ahh lantak laa.

Oh yaa.. bought 2.5 HD enclosure.. unfortunately it didn't F$%#ing fit .Im a bit frustrated that day.. i didn't know that.. this HD doesn't fit in the casing.Id expect all the 2.5 HD comes in standard size.But then.. this 2.5 Toshiba HD which comes with the Laptop is a little bit old.. therefore.. the hardisk also a little f#$king big.So i just leave it naked without the case and used the leather pouch that comes together with the HDD case to cover the HD. felt sooo rugi.. adoii.But overall.. the cable was functioning well.

After finish my last test, i start configuring back my Pentium 200mhz Scsi HD(sakura).Which having problem with the new kernel that i've compiled.Damn.. it took so long to compile on this machine.After so many times of compiling this kernel.. ive come to understand that im the one who is acting like a fool.Ive been compiling the kernel with the wrong processor type.I was thinking this box is my AMD Athlon XP duhhhhh!!.. but then it just a pentium MMX box.Adooiiiii when ive just realised it.., i feel like i wanna bang my head to the wall.. stupid stupid.

So start recompiling the kernel back but this time with the correct processor type duhhhh!!

rezdrake@sakura:~$ cd /usr/src/linux
rezdrake@sakura:/usr/src/linux$ make menuconfig

set the processor type,remove unwanted modules(irda,USB support,bla bla),set 3com Network drivers 3c509.o to be builtin in the kernel

rezdrake@sakura:/usr/src/linux$ make dep
rezdrake@sakura:/usr/src/linux$ make clean
rezdrake@sakura:/usr/src/linux$ make bzImage
rezdrake@sakura:/usr/src/linux$ make modules
rezdrake@sakura:/usr/src/linux$ make modules_install

Move the compiled kernel to /boot

rezdrake@sakura:/usr/src/linux$ mv /arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot

Copy the new System.map file to /boot

rezdrake@sakura:/usr/src/linux$ ls

COPYING Makefile System.map fs/ kernel/ scripts/
CREDITS README arch/ include/ lib/ vmlinux*
Documentation/ REPORTING-BUGS crypto/ init/ mm/
MAINTAINERS Rules.make drivers/ ipc/ net/

rezdrake@sakura:/usr/src/linux$ cp System.map /boot

Then enter /boot

rezdrake@sakura:/usr/src/linux$ cd /boot

Rename bzImage kernel to filename such as vmlinuz-2.4.22

rezdrake@sakura:/boot$mv bzImage vmlinuz-2.4.22

Edit lilo.conf to add a new kernel into the lilo menu.

root@sakura:/boot# pico /etc/lilo.conf

# Linux bootable partition config begins
image = /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.22 <--- add the new kernel root = /dev/sda2 label = Slackware-9.1 read-only # Non-UMSDOS filesystems should be mounted read-only for checking image = /boot/vmlinuz root = /dev/sda2 label = Slackware-old # Linux bootable partition config ends --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Play with linux_logo this morning . So i installed this on Sakura. Quick and Dirty Installing linux_logo untar and uncompress the file tar -xzvf linux_logo-4.08.tar.gz enter the directory cd linux_logo-4.08 edit the Makefile and be sure everything is set up the way you want. [on stock Linux systems it should work without any changes] compile the program make install (you'll probably want to do this as root) with make install I prefer the classic logo. so i'd set it so that the logo will display at the login screen

So... as root

root@sakura:/boot# pico /etc/rc.d/rc.M

I add this

/usr/local/bin/linux_logo -f -c -d -F"Slackware Linux 9.1 (Sakura)\nKernel Version Edisi Kambing Gurun\n#X #T #M #R\n#U\n#B Bogomips Total" > /etc/issue

/usr/local/bin/linux_logo -f -c -d -F"Slackware Linux 9.1 (Sakura)\nKernel Version Edisi Kambing Gurun\n#X #T #M #R\n#U\n#B Bogomips Total" > /etc/issue.net

/usr/local/bin/linux_logo -f -c -d -F"Slackware Linux 9.1 (Sakura)\nKernel Version Edisi Kambing Gurun\n#X #T #M #R\n#U\n#B Bogomips Total" > /etc/motd


So the result will look like this

thats all for now.. probably later will be experimenting with apache,php and setup and configuring squirrelmail.
not feeling well to day.. had flu not that bird flu.. need to get rest.. choww..

Class, PC FAIR , HDD Case.

Had a Java class today at 1.30.I Woke up late this morning around 11 something felt dizzy and blur blur.... i haven't had enough sleep last night..and its all because of computer stuff/RnD bla bla.So went off to class bout 1.00.Drove Satria since no one was using the car for today.Normally if im driving to college, i always take green lane road since i can take a short cut going through Jalan Dato Kramat and then again slip my way through the Jail House .. but then.. today was so damn packed with Cars.. suckss big time.Arrived there late nearly to 2.00pm.. and the lec was already writing the codes regarding to the exercise that he ask us to do yesterday.Somehow i was able to follow what he was coding that is being projected to the white slide in front of the class.The class was ok today.. nothing amuse in the class compare to yesterday night class.There was one indian guy.. who brought his laptop to class whoaa.. leet huh..?i thought he was going to do coding and follow what lec was teaching.. but then .. he was watching "ONG BAK" the muay thai movie on his damn laptop.He was seating few chair from me.Hell.. im also a bit distracted last night :).

After finish my class at 3.30,called up mahathir asking whether he wanna go out for a couple of bowling games.Too bad he can't make it.. he was working at his father's shop.But then he told me that he went to PC Fair yesterday.PC FAIR..? Huh..? how come i didn't know bout this..? or im just pretending i dont know bout this .. since both of my pocket and my wallet just full with butterfly effect hehe :).So headed for a PC Fair at Komtar Dome.Hmm not much stuff this time.. just the same hardware stuff again and again.. mostly Laptops,Digicam acctually little bit jealous people who have Laptop. :).Hmm this time there is no participant from the Apple.To bad.. i really like their laptop.

While i was there, i did tried out few types of Digicam.There were a lot of brand..UMAX,Cool DV, even Orite brand also got heh quite cheap too for 5.0 Megapixels.I also did some survey on the USB 2.5 HDD Casing.Before this i did plan to buy a Thumbdrive..but then as usual im out of budget.So Ive been thinking of buying this HDD case since i got a notebook hardisk from my functional Greyb0x notebook its only 1.2 Gig.. but that will do.Probably when im going to class, i'd remove it and put in the HDD case for my portable storage.I Saw one HDD case, it was A1pro, the brand which also produce a CDR media they're selling for 68 bucks.I didn't buy.Instead tonight i head on to Lelong website and did found someone who selling this HDD case and its was around 34 buck.. kinda cheap don't you think?.I dont care whether it has been used, a second hand parts.. as long as the item is functional i'll take it. I met Licombat and his friend(gosh forgot his name) there don't know how many times we already "tawaf" that area :). Licombat was searching for a P3 Mobo there.. and also asking regarding to his Athlon XP Barton Core Processor that he claimed made his pc kept on restarting.But I suspect theres something wrong with the CPU.. since he already bought and test with a new Mobo and RAM for the new CPU.

After that, we went to Prangin Mall to buy DVD.. i was quite surprised that Matrix Revolution were already out. Like my friend Helix would says.. "Tunggu bapak lagi" :), So bought me a copy of Matrix Revolutions :). Licombat bought 2 DVD Shania Twain Concert.. a big fan of Shania Twain i guess ;). Had my Asar prayer before going back.. then went back. Ok folks.. me goin to enter panggung wayang kecik.. sorry no pop corn tonite just a glass of hot Nescafe Classic and.. Matrix Revolutions.. Choww :)
