Hi,

Use fdisk from LinuX! The bug is in DOS's fdisk. It needs an _empty_
FAT-table
to operate well but does not clear it!! If you have a brandnew disk anythong
is ok.
But if you have a disk-manager SW (e.g. EZ-drive) before or used another
filesystem DOS's fdisk will fail!

What to do:

Partition your system with Linux's fdisk. E.g. your first physical IDE disk:
tape as root:

   # fdisk /dev/hda
_C_reate a _p_rimary partition as partition number _1_. Type the keys:
<c> <1> <p>
and the size (some 1010MB starting at the begining (cyl _1_ ):
<1> <+1010M>

Set the filesystem of the first primary Partition to VFAT:
type the the keys:
<t> <1> <6>
_t_ype of filesys, _1_st partition , Hex-Code _6_ for VFAT filesystem.

set the bootable flag to partition 1
<a> <1>
write the partition table to the disk and exit fdisk:
<w>

IMPORTANT: to let Windows be able to format the disk you have to clear the
(non-existant) FAT-Table on your 1st partition:
# dd if=/dev/zero bs=512 count=1 of=/dev/hda1  <- DON'T forget the 1 at the
end!

Hope that helps.

Regards
Carsten

All depends upon what cable modem service you use and what distribution
of Linux.

For example, if you want to install RoadRunner on Linux, just go to a
good web search engine (like http://www.google.com or whatever) and type
in "linux roadrunner" and you will find lots of info on how to install
RoadRunner cable modem on RedHat or Suse, etc.

Hi Josh,

yes you're right. 10MBit and 100MBit cannot communicate with each other
if
they insist on their preferred speeds. They both must communicate with
10MBit.

Perhaps try the settings of your 100MBit Card:
(I think your 100MBit card also is capable of 10MBit even if it is a
very cheap one)
- in Windows95/98: Start->Settings->System->Networkcontroller
  in WinNT: Start->Settings->Networkcontroller
 right-click on your card and try to find the settings for
"auto-sensing".
 Put it from "100MBit" or "auto" to "10MBit" perhaps  you have to try if

 duplex mode works or if you can only use half-duplex mode.

Hope that it helps

Carsten

It is set to /dev/lp0.

No, I had a look at the settings to make sure. The parallel port is enabled
and has IRQ 7.

At the moment I am contentrating on a possible hardware problem. The printer
came with that cable, that's why I thought, it should be IEEE 1284. But the
parcel had be opened in the shop, because I wanted extra RAM. So I cannot be
sure it is an original HP cable. It might be supplied by the people of the
shop and they new my old computer cannot do IEEE 1284.

I will try to use the older computer as print server to test the system and
next step will be to exchange the cable. The printer's LEDs don't even
react, when I start up the newer computer. It is like the computer simply
ignores its existence.

The plugs on both ends look just perfect, no mutilations whatsoever. But I
will try another cable. I did not buy it separate, but I cannot be sure it
is an original cable. There are no labellings on it saying HP or IEEE 1284
or something like that.

Date: Sat, 18 Sep 1999 02:08:32 -0400

I have a similiar problem. I am running RH6.0 my modem is a PNP ISA 56k flex
from USR.
It is not a WinModem!
When I run pnpdump I get 4 choices for the IO port
0x2f8
0x3f8
0x3e8
0x2e8

When I attempt to reboot using /etc/isapnp.conf all but 0x2e8 fail because
of resource conflicts.
A cat of /proc/ioports reveals that the kernel thinks I have 3 uarts at 2f8,
3f8, 3e8 the only real
uart's in my system are COM1 (/dev/ttyS0 3f8 IRQ4) and my PNP modem, COM2 is
disabled in
the BIOS.

If I try to boot using 2e8 the pnptools is happy because the is no clash in
/proc/ioports but I can not get
my modem to respond using AT commands from minicom. (Yes I ran setserial) I
read in the Modem-How-To
that there is a potential conflict between IBM 8514 Video Board and 2e8. I
also have been having trouble getting
out of low res video, I am unable to keyboard toggle to the higher res modes
that I setup during installation.

I have been trying to figure out what part of the system V init is
responsible for the creation of the
/proc/ioports psuedofile. Incidentally up until a month ago this same
hardware config worked fine
under SUSE 6.1

Since your problem seems so similiar to mine I am starting to suspect the
two are related. I am going to try and re-configure
my video to not use the 8514 compatible mode and that might free up 2e8 for
the modem. It really bothers me that the kernel has
bogus ioports in /proc/ioports if anyone can explain this part I would be
very interested.

their tweaked version of RH on it.  I'll give them a call and ask about

Okay, now I'm over the heartbreak of finding out that I can't run SMP with

The BIOS isa PNP OS is deactivated.

When I run minicom (I'm not sure about the name: it's the little modem

In my experience slow response to a AT command indicates the wrong IRQ in

If you type "setserial -g /dev/ttyS*" to find out what the serial port
driver thinks the settings are.

Subject: Creative VIBRA 128 PCI Please Help!!! & Win versus Linux hardware 
Date: Sun, 19 Sep 1999 03:18:16 +1000

If you have successfully installed this card I would love to
hear about, how you managed to do it. I do not have Windows in
my machine, so I can not use it to gather details of IRQs or
DMAs. I simply do not have it installed.

My machine was Windows before, I got it with W98 on it, Then
during an upgrade, I saw how there was a Windows error after
the fitting of a GIGABYTE GA-5AA M/B, 128 Megs of 100Mhz
Hyundai ram and a K6-2- 450 to my machine. 

The shop owner fixed it, I think, by setting the M/B jumpers
to the settings of a K6-2 400 instead of those of my own chip.
The K6-2 400 uses higher voltage than my K6-2 450.

Once at home I re-installed my friends copy of W98. Crash,
crash, crash.
I thought W98 isn't this bad, I wanted it for my kids games,
so I stuffed around with the BIOS settings.
It got worse, It actually got to point that with some BIOS
settings I could install Windows 98 but then Windows didn't
get past recognizing the hardware because it crashed time
after time.
Funny thing Linux didn't seem affected except with with some
BIOS settings.
In tried to find a solution, then I realized the jumpers where
set for the K6-2 400 so I thought " Well, to use the real
settings for my K6-2 450 I will have to go down in voltage
from 3. something to 2. something and that isn't bad." So I
did it. Windows did only a little better but not enough to
leave it on. Linux like a pig in mud.
Can you give me an educated guess as to what I should do?

I mean the shop where I got my upgrade done, seems to be
incompetent and I'm wandering whether I should go to an
standards certified computer shop. Or go back and get a
different upgrade.
I've thinking that I couldn't say to this shop owner that the
hardware is not good because it performs flawlessly with
Linux, which supposedly is much more picky when it comes to
bad hardware than Windows.

refering to a problem with midi, flashes by too quick to read and can't find
it in logs.
I did recompile kernel before trying to set it up so I don't know if it will
work out of the box.

You will be able to at which tty you are with the command "tty". The
other one is the other tty :-).

You will be able to kill processes owned by root if you are root. First
you will need to see which processes are at the other tty, example:

fuser /dev/ttyp1

/dev/ttyp1:            301

If you check with ps -aux you will most likely find that pid 301 is a
shell. Then you will be able to kick out the other user with something
like:

kill -9 301

I'm not familiar with that keyboard, but maybe you will be able to make
your own keymap if those keys give any response to showkey. See

man showkey

for more info.
