SCSI disks support a concept known as tagged command queuing.  This is a
process where a controller can initiate a command on a target (disk),
disconnect from the target, and initiate a command on the same or another
target.  Each command has a tag, and the controller can reference that tag
number to the target for later processing.  

The message simply means that the controller is limiting the number of
outstanding (unfinished) commands to 64.

 I have redhat 7.1 and I have a Geforce 2 MX card it work under Redhat 7.0
 with no problem only was no hardware acceleration until I got the stuff from
 Nvidia and dynamicaly linked programs when it was an option
 

S It works fine under RH 7.0, though no hardware acceleration
w/o the special NVidia drivers, right?  Hows the situation under RH
7.1??  Is it still necessary to get the NVidia drivers, or does it
work 'out of the box'??

TIA,

I assume this box started life as a Windows machine. Go into the Windows
ControlPanel, and remove the NIC. Reboot, and get into the bios setup. Set
it to have the BIOS assign addresses, not Plug'n'Play. Reboot into Windows.
Hopefully it will find the NIC, and you can reinstall it.

Then boot into Linux, and you should see the card.

I just installed successfully RH 7.0 to my PC.
However I cannot get sound happening.

sndconfig does not detect any cards on my
system, and when I manually specify the type
of card it is (ad1816) it asks me to input the proper
IRQ, base address, etc,. and no matter what I
enter,  it always fails, giving an error message that
the resource is busy (ad1816.o)

How to make this happen?

How do I find the proper IRQ, base address, etc.. for a
card that is built0in to the motherboard (more or less)?

Info appreciated.

Actually, this system is probably partitioned about right ... the usual

  Tried to create a new user this morning but could not (password file
  couldn't be locked).
 
  I then discovered that the / (root) partition is out of space! Root is
150mb
  on this system. I checked logs and found nothing, then noticed that
  /proc/kcore is 134+mb.

 /proc is not a real file system.  kcore is the kernel's memory, or
 something like that.  It doesn't actually use space on your disk
 (nothing in /proc does).

  What can cause this, and how can I correct?

 If your / is only 150MB, you should have nothing (except maybe /tmp
 and a few others) mounted on it.  Probably you have /home or something
 sharing a partition with the root, which is Very Bad.  For now, delete
 files to free space.  For later, repartition and make sure no big
 directories are on /, or that / is big enough to hold all of them.
 You can use `du' to figure out where all your space is going.

Hi,

Try Jaton Communicator II. It is terrific in my Linux box. I use RHL 6.0
and Win95. It can be found and used in both OS.

Good luck,

Davis

 If you wan't or have any problems I can send you my mini-HOWTO file

Date: 20 Jul 1999 14:35:20 GMT


Hi everyone!

I am looking to buy a postscript laser printer and found a printer with
very nice specifications for a nice price:  

NEC SuperScript 1800 (about $770 at PCConnection)

1200dpi (not that I can see the difference w/r/t 600...) 
17 ppm (manufacturer's claims...)
PCL5/6 and PostScript Level 2 (additional ~$110)
Duplex  (nice feature! lets save some trees...)

Claims to be compatible with Windoze/DOS and Mac (with the PS kit and an
optional mac interface)

Will it work with Linux?  It should, right?  After all it is PostScript...

But will I know the escape sequences to make it print either in duplex or
simplex mode?

How reliable are NEC printers? (I was going to get an HP 2100 w/PS for
about the same price, but no duplexing)

Any help will be greatly appreciated!


Carlos
