/dev/st0 has major device number 9, minor 0, so you need to run
mknod /dev/st0 c 9 0
You also need the st module or kernel support, and you might have to add
alias char-major-9 st
to your /etc/conf.modules or /etc/modules.conf .

I have the SCSI version and it works OK. I do seem to remember some
strange stuff though regarding whether it should be addressed as /dev/sda
or /dev/sda1. I normally use FAT formatted media and /dev/sda works OK.
I have used ext2 and possibly it was in that case that I had to call it
/dev/sda1
when mounting and/or building the file system.

This afternoon I replaced the MB in my Linux box with an FIC 503+ (K6-II
400) and now it won't boot. I get partly through the boot process and
am stopped by a message saying:
"Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address
00000004" followed by a screen full of additional messages and hex
numbers.
Of course everything worked ok until I replaced the MB and I didn't do
anything to change the HDD configuration (that I know of).
Any suggestions? I like my Linux box and want it back.

Hello, everyone:
In the raid0.c:
beginning from line 103:
nb_zone=data->nr_zones=
md_size[minor]/data->smallest->size +
(md_size[minor]%data->smallest->size ? 1 : 0);
I can't quite understand it. Suppose we have four disks, disk1 is 50M.
disk2 is 100M. disk3 is 100M. and disk4 is 160M.
So, md_size[minor] is 50+100+100+160 = 410M.
And data->smaillest->size = 60M.
So, nb_zone = 6+1 = 7; but, I think the zone should be 8 if we strip
them
into zones.
Where is my understanding wrong?

The card is certainly capable of more under Linux -- I run it a 1280x1024 on my

An ADSL modem is, for all intents and purposes, an ethernet bridge. It
performs no routing, address conversions, or anything else. All it
does it convert ADSL physical signaling to whatever is required by the
other media connector. That is normally 10baseT. So to convert to your
system you would normally use a standard 10baseT crossover cable. Of
course, you can also attach a hub to the modem and then attach your
systems to the hub if you have more than one system.
For a NIC you can use just about anything. I went with a SMC EZ PCI
10baseT ethernet card. Cheap and reliable. Use the PCI NE2K driver in
RedHat. Standard RedHat v6.0 kernels have most of the NIC drivers
enabled by default and the kernel will automatically chose the correct
one.
You configure the LINUX network subsystem just like you would for any
host attached to a local area network. The fact that your host is
connected to an ADSL modem is immaterial. Just pretend you're
connected to a standard ethernet hub or switch. Your ISP should have
told you whether to configure your host for DHCP or static address
assignment. If the latter they should have provided you with a subnet
mask, an IP address, one or two DNS addresses, and a default gateway
address.

If you really intend to "play" with Linux, it would be best to set up Linux
entirely on its own harddisk and then boot linux from floppy. I did this for
awhile as it really does reduce your risk to the Win95 drive to almost zero.
I quickly learned just how good the kernel is in Linux, so now I boot directly
into Linux and only use the win stuff when I absolutely have to.
Any computer system will benefit from an extra IDE HD assuming that its on a
seperate controller. The benefits are largely dependant on how the system is
setup and used, with some database operations showing very large gains.
Once you are comfortable with Linux and decide that you aren't going to "play"
with things that would harm the boot process you will find that there are many
ways to set up everything with one or two drives. Noticing a difference in the
selected installation is entirely related to how you use the machine. A large
number of people would not notice a difference between having one or two
harddisks in the system.
I like the adaptec controllers myself, but have used others with equal
success. If you really believe that you want two HDs, you might want to
consider two IDE devices. One for each of the IDE controllers on the
motherboard. Buy a cheaper SCSI card for the CDROM and other devices. This
approach often works out to be the lowcost / high performance one. The key to
SCSI is to make sure its supported by your kernel!!!!!!!!!!

Subject: SUN Disk Label - How to remove??
Date: Fri, 23 Jul 1999 19:21:30 GMT
All,
I've salvaged a couple of SCSI-2 drives from old Sparc LXs to run
linux on in a PC. Everything works ok, but the linux kernel always
reports the disk carries a Sun label during boot - even after I've
"low level" formatted the disks using the SCSI controller bios utility
(both Buslogic and Adaptec).
So,
1) What exactly happens to the disk when we select "Label" from the
SunOS/Solaris FORMAT utility?
2) Can the label be removed?
Bewildered, and appreciative of some enlightenment,

Hi Yan;
If you want rock solid motherboards please consider the ASUS P2B
series. You can sitck just about any processor into it (Celeron, P2,
P3) and be pleased. They also have a follow on board ,the P3B, that I
have no experience with.
The P2B comes in several flavors, including one with SCSI and dual
processor versions. If your maxed out on a P5 - 166 I'm not sure that a
P2 - 350 is going to give you alot of performance room. The rest of the
hardware has to be considered carefully, but then you did not explain maxed
out so thats up to you.
Personally I'd consider dual Celerons which seem to be the rage lately, but
this is a bit experimental. You would also have to be sure that all of
your software is happy with SMP. ABIT has a nice board for dual Celeron
use but I've not used it and it is very new on the market.

Subject: Yamaha XG 64V sound card
Date: 23 Jul 1999 14:42:00 -0600
Sorry about the mulitple posts. I got the wrong subject the first time
around.
I have just purchased a new DELL Dimension XPS T450 home computer.
It has a Yamaha XG 64V PCI sound card apparently built on something
called the "724 DS-1" chip set. Other info of questionable value:
PCI Slot 2 is DVD/audio
PCI Slot 3 is Audio/SCSI (there are no SCSI devices in the computer)
None of the 16 IRQs mention audio or sound as a resource. Both DREQ0
and DREQ1 are mentioned as "Default audio DMA channel assignment".
After a complete install of RedHat 6.0 on half of my HD (I picked the
"everything" install option), I ran sndconfig but it did not find the
sound card as a PnP device, so I still have no sound on the Linux side.
It sounds great over on the Windows 98 side.
Questions:
(1) Since this card is not on the list of supported cards, does this
mean that it will be difficult or impossible to get it working?
(2) Assuming possible, what is the procedure? Obtain a driver? (Whatever
*that* is...) Rebuild kernel? (Yikes! From what I have
read, I am probably not capable of this -- not now, not ever.)
Configure something somewhere in the system? (I haven't a clue

get some advice along the lines of a detailed, step-by-step set of
instructions. If this is not possbile, just say so! I'll forgo
sound on the Linux side if I must, but I don't want any more trouble.
Installing RedHat 6.0 has already been my worst nightmare.
