First you have to provide your kernel with :
scsi-emulation
generic-scsi
with scsi-cd
with/without disabling cd-ide.
Some guys claim that you don't need to
disable ide-cdrom but I remove it from kernel.

u can try getting a ready-compiled kernel with parport module build-in. Just backup ur

and
see if your parallel is detected.
No, unlike windozzz, u dont have to reinstall the os at all. That's the good thing abt

Date: Tue, 25 Apr 2000 06:21:59 -0700
I have my Toshiba Satellite Pro 430CDT with an active matrix LCD for
sale. The CPU is a Pentium running at 120mhz, it has the CD-ROM
attachment and the Floppy Disk attachment. The condition is fair because
of a small crack near one of the hinges (I think this a common problem)
and there are a couple of stickers on the case (a CRYSTAL METHOD and a
SWITCH BLADE SYMPHONY). I still have the original manuals as I'm the
original owner. Also included is a PC-Card FaxModem rated at 56k Flex.
I will not erase the HD which has MS OFFICE 97 PRO, running MS Windows
98, MS MONEY 99 and more! You will be responsible to delete those Apps.
I will include a very nice laptop bag which the Satellite Pro fits very
well in and an external mouse (when you don't want to use the trackpoint)
NEW PRICE $480 (need the cash for taxes). Also as a recent addition I
will include my Zip Drive as well because I realized that I won't need it
after the sale. Also after going to Toshiba's web site to update the
drivers I notice a settlement from the FDC that entitles Toshiba laptops
owners towards $100 free on Toshiba products this is the web site for
more details:

Subject: stuck on TLB IPI wait (CPU#1) under 2.1.12-20 (Redhat 6.1)
Date: Tue, 25 Apr 2000 08:02:34 -0400
We have a number of SMP Linux systems. All are identically configured:
Asus P2B-D motherboard (Based on Intel 440BX chipset)
2x600MHz PIII CPUs
1G SDRAM (4x256M DIMMs)
3Com 3c905C-TX ethernet card
IBM 13.5G IDE harddrive
We're running vanilla Redhat 6.1 (Kernel version 2.2.12-20smp)
The vast majority of these systems are working perfectly under prolonged
heavy load. We have two systems exhibiting similar errors. When booted
using the SMP kernel any load will cause the following message:
Apr 24 17:05:00 lnx1 kernel: stuck on TLB IPI wait (CPU#1)
An the machine is unresponsive. The harddrive access LED on the
front panel is typically on solid when in this state.
I've done searches through past news articles looking for hints on
how to fix this problem. We've sent the machines back to the
manufacturer and they've come back testing fine. I've tried different
kernels that mention fixing issues around this error message.
Neither 2.2.14 nor 2.2.15pre19 has helped. The systems run fine
when started with a non-SMP kernel or an SMP kernel with the
nosmp boot option. I've run hdparm -t with DMA enabled and
disabled as mentioned in some articles (I'm guessing this would
highlight a hardware problem as opposed to a software issue).
I've scrutinized which IRQs are used for the various devices and
have not found any differences between these systems and ones
functioning perfectly.
I'm about to start poaching parts from functioning systems to try
to identify a faulty component. Prior to doing this, I figured I'd
send out a plea for other things to try. There are certainly alot
of people who have seen this error message but I haven't found
any articles indicating how the problem was solved.
Any help in this would be greatly appreciated. I will make sure
to post a solution if found.

That's a neat solution. In fact the ppp setup process in Debian
installs something very similar depending on what you tell it about your
ISP.
On a similar note, how about a caching local nameserver with
'forwarders' defined from the nameservers supplied as PPP is setup, i.e.
a script similar to above but editing the named.conf file instead.
My think here is this:
For queries you've made before a local, caching nameserver will be much
faster than sending queries over the wire to the ISPs nameserver even if
the ISPs server does have a large cache.
For queries you haven't made before, the local nameserver resolving the
query could mean several round trips over a relatively slow link.
Forwarding this to the ISPs nameserver should mean only one round trip
and maybe the ISPs nameserver has it cached.
What do you guys think? Is this a good plan?

I don't know of any reason why it shouldn't work (and fly),

I don't know if you would call this `officially support
DVD', but
SuSE, since version 6.3, officially releases its
distribution on
DVD-ROM to. It does tend to save shelfspace (1 DVD instead

I can understand ISA being classed as legacy - its old, slow and was
limited to one class of hardware - the ISM PC and compatibles.
PCI is rather different - it's rather newer, very much faster and used
by more than just PCs - many non-PC Unix worksations from the likes of
Sun and HP use it too.
I would be very surprised if USB was as fast as PCI but if anyone can
point me to specs that say otherwise I'd be very interested.

Hi Steve,
I configured my Creative Vibra 128 in Slackware (kernel 2.2.13) as a
Creative Ensoniq AudioPCI (1317) with the same resources as the Vibra. Try
that.
-- Hope this helps!

Does anybody know of a Video card with an Onboard ROM
that has PowerPC initialization Code? This would be a
big help to me.
Thanks

I don't know the motherboard you quote but...
Have you tried looking through all the BIOS options to see if this
feature is configurable.
If it isn't another possibility occurs to me. Some of the systems that
have "soft" power control also have a facility to turn the system on
remotely from the network or when an attached modem rings. You could
use one of these two signals to kick the system into life again. The
modem one would be the easier one to connect to a UPS.

Perhaps one built for a PowerMac?

When they took the Fourth Amendment, I was quiet because I didn't deal drugs.
When they took the Fifth Amendment, I was quiet because I was innocent.
When they took the Second Amendment, I was quiet because I didn't own a gun.
Now they've taken the First Amendment and I can't say anything.

Yes. Can't remember exactly what HCF stands for but the HC is Host
Control.
