Date: Tue, 15 May 2001 00:29:00 GMT
Running RH7.0. I never can be assured if Linux is going to come up in X.
Sometimes it does and somethings its just a blank black screen. When it
doesn't I have to re-install the who OS over again. Running Matrox Millenium
G200 8mgs ram.
What confuses me, why would it work sometimes and sometimes not?
Confused and looking for answers.
Thanks for your help.

Subject: Disk errors with kernel 2.4.2
Date: Mon, 14 May 2001 18:15:52 -0700
I installed RedHat 7.1 on a new IBM IDE disk a few days ago and am having
nasty disk errors ever since. They happen every few hours and mess up
filesystems a lot. So far I was able to recover by forcing e2fsck on the
/usr partition in single user mode, and reinstalling the damaged packages.
But it's only a matter of time until glibc gets damaged and then it's all
over.
Now this is definitely not the state of events I would like them to be. My
old RedHat 6.1 worked fine on this machine on an old Seagate hard drive.
It seems therefore that either the 2.4.2 kernel is broken or the new disk
is defective. The log file would occasionally have this message:
hda: status error: status=0x58 { DriveReady SeekComplete DataRequest }
hda: drive not ready for command
The disk is a brand new 40GB IBM 60GXP series (ATA-100), using dma
transfers (up to 33MB/s, I presume, since this is a BX chipset)
/dev/hda:
Model=IC35L040AVER07-0, FwRev=ER4OA41A, SerialNo=SX0SXLL6552 Config={
HardSect NotMFM HdSw15uSec Fixed DTR10Mbs } RawCHS=16383/16/63,
TrkSize=0, SectSize=0, ECCbytes=40 BuffType=DualPortCache,
BuffSize=1916kB, MaxMultSect=16, MultSect=16 CurCHS=4047/16/255,
CurSects=-217054981, LBA=yes, LBAsects=80418240 IORDY=on/off,
tPIO={min:240,w/IORDY:120}, tDMA={min:120,rec:120} PIO modes: pio0 pio1
pio2 pio3 pio4
DMA modes: mdma0 mdma1 mdma2 udma0 udma1 *udma2 udma3 udma4 udma5
hdb is a 24x cdrom, hdc an ORB drive and hdd is a 20x dvd-rom drive.
So, I would really appreciate some help from those who are familiar with
IDE drivers or had similar experiences. My system is not usable at this
point and I need to know whether to replace the disk or the OS.
Thanks in advance,

I have an ATI All-In-Wonder 128 Pro (Rage 128 Pro) and Linux-Mandrake 8.0
box and when I boot into X my monitor gives me an out of range error.
Realizing that it must be the refresh rates, I opened up XF86Config, set
them to my monitor's specs, and tried again... no luck. Any ideas?

Hi masters!
Does anyone here knows how to install RH6.1, on a ATA66 harddisk
using a (duh!) PCChips M747 mother board (I think it uses SiS 5598
chipset). Even if I creat a 1MB partition the installer says "/boot
partition too big"
Thanx in any help

I have not luck getting a Soundblaster 16 PCI to work on a new
installation of Linux-Mandrake (7.1). Am I missing something, or is this
card simply not Linux compatible? If it is compatible, could someone
please tell me wher I find a driver?
Many thanks,

I agree completely - we have had great success with integrated
components and Linux (except for winmodems - that's impressive!).
The high priced brands do not in my experience give better
performance, nor is compatibility usually an issue (barring
winmodems...).

I have a very old, but otherwise fairly reliable, machine with a P100
(P54C) riding on a Soyo 5V A0 motherboard (82430CX/P54C chipset). I
have this updated to the very latest BIOS available from Soyo, which
is unfortunately some years old (it's no longer a supported product).
My 486 machine is almost certainly older, and it has a Soyo motherboard
and was fitted with an Award BIOS. It would cope with 8.4Gb (in LBA
mode) and just ignore the rest of the drive, but I had no problem
booting from it, and Linux was quite happy to use the rest of the drive.
However, I eventually found a BIOS upgrade (MR Bios) from
www.unicore.com (I actually used www.tssc.de but they don't seem to sell
the BIOS upgrades anymore) which means my machine is now perfectly happy
with any practical size of HD.

I hope this helps

Subject: Nvidia drivers for XF86 4.0 won't compile. Help!
Date: Sun, 30 Apr 2000 14:36:35 GMT
Well, I wrestled with the installation of XFree86
4.0 and I finally beat it, but the Nvidia drivers
have kicked my butt and now I humbly bow to the
USENET gods for assistance!
I have the following:
PII-350
96MB SDRAM
Creative Graphics Blaster TNT
Dell M770 Monitor (but not a Dell system)
Aureal Vortex 1 Soundcard
I have installed every library off of my Mandrake
7.0 CD that I could possibly imagine the new
Nvidia driver needing and then some. The
installation instructions very plainly state that
to install, you simply go into the build directory
as root and type 'make'. Well, all look find and
dandy for say... 2 seconds? Then I get a flood of
errors and the whole thing exits without
compiling. I'm installing from the tarballs, I
tried the RPM and it failed as well.
I tried to get it to dump the entire error message
to a text file so I could attach it to this post,
but am not sure how, or if I can, but here is a
description:
I have approx. 1000 lines that consist of the
following types of errors:
/usr/include/linux/efs)fs_i.h:43: parse error
before 'di_uid'
warning: data definition has no type or storage
class
or
/usr/include/linux/coda.h:219 dereferencing
pointer to incomplete type
or
warning: control reaches end of non-void funtion
Other types of errors are too numerous, but
hopefully this rings a bell with someone.
Almost all of these errors are in reference to
various header files in the /usr/include/linux
subdirectory, or they involve nv.o.
The final line of the error is as follows:
make: *** [nv.o] Error 1
I'm at the end of my rope on this one and am about
to say, "Screw it". Hopefully someone can throw
me a little extra rope here. Any help
appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I have a Teles S0/usb ISDN adapter but I don't have a clue how to get it to
work under linux (using Redhat 6.2)
Usb is working on my system, when i plug in my adapter it displays the
correct information about my device.
I just don't know how to connect to the device ?
I guess it must be supported by the standard acm driver (the normal S0 box
(serial) is)
so where is the device located : /dev/acm0 or sth like that ?
I also need the hisax module but when i modprobe hisax it sys that it is
busy and cant be loaded
someone help please ..
