Dear Experts,

    Is there any expert in developing the driver for the adaptec AAC-364
????  Even the developer version, I still want it !!

But of course (I think :-)

Grab the S3 VESA 2.0 upgrade from S3's web page. You run it from DOS, then
boot Linux via loadlin. Instant VESA 2.0! You may wish to make a DOS boot
disk with the VESA upgrade, a 2.2 kernel and loadlin. I don't know if this
will work for your 868 but it worked fine on my Trio64V+ (VESA 1.2 only).
I think there is also a patch for 2.3 somewhere out there which will give
you fbcon on the older S3 cards.

Good luck!

Problems compiling - "ls: cannot open crt1.o: No such file or directory"

I am using Redhat 5.2.   From what I can gather this file should be in

Hi,

I'm asked to develop a game server for a Linux Internet Server. Does anyone
have any suggestions on how to start with such an assignment? The client
wants to create a sort of 'Casino on the Net' here in the Netherlands.
BlackJack and Roulette are the first games to create. The Internet Server is
a RedHat 5.1 Server with Apache and PHP running. Are there such servers
(java?) for sale or in source to get somewhere?. The client software could
be developed in Delphi because the first pc-platform would be Windows 9x but
could also be Java?!

Please any help would be appreciated!

Thanks,
Ron.

Date: Fri, 18 Jun 1999 12:42:06 +0200

I've got some weird vlb cached IDE controller (don't even know the
brand)
When I trie to boot Linux, of a hd attached to it, or even try to use
the SuSe 6.1 bootdisk, the kernel crashes at the moment it tries to
do the partition check: PTBL: [512/64/63] <1 Oops kernel null pointer
dereference ....

This only occurs when using a 2.2.5 kernel, it works fine with
2.0.36.

I'm sorry I haven't got a complete Oops trace (don't know how)

I've tried several boot configurations/kernel configurations/ide-card
different config(has got a BIOS)

It works fine with a standard ISA ide controller but goes all weird
with the cached ide one.

I hope someone knows more about this ...

The no nagle config option no long exists and probably the rogue
ifdef check should no longer exist either. Nagle is automatically
turned off on a per socket basis if you set the TCP_NODELAY
socket option on the socket. Turning nagle off globally is a
bit drastic in most cases.

i am not sure you can boot from an iomega zip drive.  this isn't
really a linux issue, but a bios issue and would affect any operating
system.  you can always boot from a linux bootfloppy.  100MB will be
rather small.  it's plenty for a special purpose minimalistic system
such as router or firewall.  it is not enough for an interactive
system with X windows and a development environment.

i'd just buy another hard drive.  a 2GB ide hard drive can be had for
about $100 if not less.  this is the easiest and probably the cheapest
solution.  it also has the most chance of working.

if you really need a removable drive.  avoid parallel port zip drives.
get a scsi.  and if you are going scsi, you might as well get a
fujitsu magnito-optical (MO) drive.  they come in sizes up to 640MB
and 1.2GB should be out real soon now (if not already).

probably because 100MB is too small to be useful for anything but a
dedicated zero-maintainance or user activity firewall/router host and
those would presumable have some legacy ide harddrive already in them.

also parallel port zip drive support is a recent addition and it may
not be very wieldy or stable.

Hi all,

     I am working a sound driver for linux (I will probably use OSS).I
am planning to use C++, instead of C. Has anyone used C++ before for
kernel/device driver programming for linux. If so what are the
complications with using C++. I heard that C++ needs some OS support,
especially for calls like "new", "delete" and stuff like that.



Thanks in advance

But with millions of users the plain password file would be very slow for
the sequenctial searches, and a more appropriate db style password file
would be needed.  With a new pam module that shouldn't be too difficult.

There is or used to be an upper limit on the user id that was much
lower than 65535.  If that still is the case I'm not sure.  However,
I've seen problems with cpio or tar if a user id doesn't fit within a
16 bit integer; that was on an aix system with a user nobody user id -2
equal to 0xfffffffe.
