What filesystem was on the /dev/hdb1 and /dev/hdb3 ?
If you have deleted a filesystem belonging to linux, you will have to
reinstall linux. If you have private (non-linux) data on /dev/hdb3 and
want to save its contents during reinstall, just as a thought :
1. Boot from boot/root diskette(s) which has a kernel with vfat support
embedded,
2. Create /mnt/mydata and /mnt/myw95 directories,
3. Mount /dev/hdb3 and /dev/hda? (w95 partn) to /mnt/mydata (as ext2)
and /mnt/myw95 (as vfat) respectively,
4. Copy everything in /mnt/mydata to /mnt/myw95,
5. Reinstall linux, enable vfat support, mount your w95 disk under
linux,
6. Copy everything back.

Could it be that modem is set up to auto-dial some number with DTR or
DSR pulse? I'm not sure but setserial might cause reassertion of one of
those lines (while resetting serial port).

Not completely. you see SMP was not supported until the 2.2.x kernels
and RH 5.2 has 2.0.x kernel. There are two thing you can do, one is to
download a newer kernel, and the second is to Buy a newer distribution
that uses the 2.2 kernel.

I buy recently a SupraExpress 56i PRO Diamond modem and I can use it
in W9X (i can see the new serial port).
The problem is that i can`t see the new serial port in Linux (2.2).
Is this modem a WinModem ?
Am I do anything wronfg?

How can you do anything with it, since you say it is deleted;-)
Anyway, "format" can mean two different things:
Preparing the media surface for the accepting of data
(low-level format, usually not done by the end user, since even
diskettes come pre-formatted these days), which also sets the
raw (non-file system) capacity of the drive. Some programs:
superformat, scsiformat. Partitioning comes after that.
The second meaning is "putting an empty filesystem on a
partition". After that, the partition/disk can be mounted and
files can be accessed on it. mke2fs, mkdosfs will do that for
you. I think the windows format program with the "quick format"
option does the same. These programs work on partitions, so
installing a linux (ext2fs) filesystem on hdb1 will not affect
hdb3.
In order to re-create hdb1, use fdisk, but do take care not to
alter any information pertaining to the partitions you want to
keep. After that, the partition should be available as
/dev/hdb1 and you can put a file system on it.
HTH, Carsten.

Did you reinstall Linux when you changed your MB? if you did not try
reinstalling linux. By changing the MB you might have changes some port
address, IRQ, etc.... Thus Linux must go and get all the info on that
new board.

The question is not does linus have drivers for it; the question is do
any of the CD Burning software support that particular drive. Look @ a
program called X CD Roast, this program supports many CDR drives but the
setup is a little tricky.

There's actually no problem with the extended partition
itself crossing the 1024 cylinder boundary, so long as the
/boot logical partition contained therein is entirely below
this boundary.

The original poster mentions "...LEDs on my phone...". There are
many "system" phones on which NO modem will operate satisfactorally -
you have to have a straight wire to the TelCo line.

Hi,
maybe I should first of all apologize for posting the same message several
times under different titles, but since I want to ask for information about
several different models I thought this would be the easiest way to attract
the attention of owners of the various notebooks....
As the subject says, I would appreciate some advice from all you wizards out
there. Background: I am intending to buy a notebook and in the first round I
came up with several models (basically I chose one or two from different
companies that seem to fit my ideas of what it should do, e.g. I don't need
extensive multimedia features, DVD, the absolutely fastest processor on the
market,...)
Having made these first round picks, I would highly appreciate any input from
you (unfortunately I'm a completely clueless newbie myself, so please be
patient...). If you happen to own one of those models or a similar one or have
some experiences, I would be very happy to hear about it: Can you recommend it
or not (what instead?)? What to look out for? ....
While I would be glad to get ANY input on those notebooks, an equally important
aspect is the following: I am used to using Unix on workstations, so I plan to
run Linux on it (to be precise I have to confess to the purists that I would
run both Linux and Windows in parallel...), so if you happen to own one of
those models and run Linux on it, you are the (wo)man! I would be VERY happy
if I would hear from you ('forget it, it won't run' is of course not a welcome
message, but equally important!).
Note before I get 100 RTFM-messages: I am aware that there is a website where
hints on installing Linux on specific machines are collected and I will look at
those, but often they are written for experts ('downloaded the x.y.z kernel
v0.34 from ...'), a little more basic and personal recommendations for someone
who never before installed a Linux system ('watch out for this', 'get the
zzz-distribution', 'everything will run fine but don't buy a modem from ...')
would be very very helpful.
Now finally, here comes the list of first round choices. As said before, I
basically picked one or two models from different companies that are in the
price range I consider (to be honest the IBM seems a bit too pricy for me, it's
in the list because a friend of mine never stops telling me that they were the
best on the market...) Apart from what I wrote below, I would like to have a
modem (a:clueless question: will an american modem work with the european phone
system when I go back? b:I am prepared that this will often only work under
windows, not with Linux), a network card with both twisted pair and BNC out
(which card will work under Linux?), and at least minimal support when in a
year from now I will take the notebook over to europe and use it there.

Subject: HP DDS Tape drive backup
Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Date: Sun, 01 Aug 1999 18:18:37 GMT
I'm running RedHat 5.2, brought up to kernel version 2.2.9. SCSI card
is an Adaptec 2742 (VLB), which works fine. My SCSI chain consists of a
SCSI CD-ROM and an HP DDS drive. Here's the tape entry from dmesg:
Vendor: HP Model: HP35470A Rev: 8 09
Type: Sequential-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02
(scsi0:0:5:0) Synchronous at 5.0 Mbyte/sec, offset 8.
Whenever I try to backup to the tape drive (cpio, tar, dump), I get a
slew of the following errors, echoed to the screen and syslog:
Aug 1 09:12:04 mozart kernel: st0: Error with sense data: Current error
st09:00: sense key Medium Error
Aug 1 09:12:04 mozart kernel: Additional sense indicates Write error
Aug 1 09:12:04 mozart kernel: st0: Error on write filemark.
This morning I tried to do a dump as root with:
dump 0udsf 61000 196 /dev/nst0 /dev/hda1
... and kept getting through pass III (dump estimated the entire thing
to take 0.72 tapes or something like that), then a prompt to insert the
next volume. The tape I had was a DDS tape, 60m length (196 ft) --
should hold 1.3 GB, which is enough to backup this machine. If I told
it "no", it would ask if I'd like to abort the operation. "Yes" did
pretty much the same thing, but it came back saying it was at the EOT.
An mt -f /dev/nst0 status command confirmed the EOT marker was set.
However, ejecting the tape from the command line (mt -f /dev/nst0
offline), showed the tape completely rewound. Also, it didn't seem to
be seeking long enough to get to the end of tape.
What else am I missing? I have to admit, I haven't yet tried it on
another OS. I might bring it into work Monday and throw it onto one of
the Suns to see what Solaris will do. I'll keep anyone who's interested
posted.
If anyone else has some other ideas, please pass them along. TIA.

Subject: bttv and wintv problems
I am trying to get the bttv-6.0.3-17.i386.rpm to install, but it
complains that there are deps needed, all of which happen to be
installed. I then tryied bttv-0.5.22-3.i386.rpm which installs but bombs
out during bootup. Any ideas? I am running this on a P2 333 with 320ram
and redhat 6.0.
