Well, that's good. What's your problem, then ?

Right. You don't have any Int13h devices (aka harddisks) on the
SCSI chain, therefor the BIOS doesn't get installed. There's
no need for the BIOS to be installed, since you can't boot neither
from the tape drive, nor from the CDROM with that card/BIOS combination.
Only the later Adaptec BIOS for the 2940 series do support booting from
the CDROM.
If that message bugs you, go into the SCSI BIOS and disable it, or
set the jumpers on the SCSI card to disabled.

Adaptec strikes again... What this means is that there are no bootable
devices to be found on the interface, and because there aren't, the bios
mirroring into much faster ram was not done.
Since linux has its own drivers for the card anyway, the cure is to go
into its own early boot screen with a ctrl+a when that prompt comes up,
and disable that function in the cards own bios extensions.
Its not an error message, just an advisory.
Cheers, Gene

/dev/audio is really a backwards-combatible hack, to be compatible with
the old audio interface on Suns, which was 8 or 11.1 KHz IIRC. That will
always give you poor sound quality. You will want something different
from "cat" to do your sound recording. Try the "wavrec" program, or go to
http://freshmeat.net and perform a search on "sound record" and see what
you can find. HTH,

If you want to get anywhere, you will have to learn this "alien
language." Did you check the HOWTOs at http://linuxdoc.org/HOWTO ? Those
are eminently readable and mostly comprehensive, and there's one on ZIP
drives. Also, when you ask questions in a forum like this one, you need
to say 1) precisely what isn't working 2) exactly what you tried 3) the
exact text of any error messages you received.
Anyway:
0. Make sure the line
alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc
is in /etc/conf.modules ... this was a bug in RH 6.1, messes with all
things parallel-port.
1. Plug ZIP drive into power source and into computer with a parallel
cable. Insert DOS-formatted ZIP disk.
2. "modprobe ppa" for older drives, or "modprobe imm" for newer ones.
3. "mount -t vfat /dev/sda4 /mnt/zip"

--- lots of stuff clipped
OK, I've had some troubles getting the 3Com 3C905 cards working with
Red Hat 6.x and I think I have a solution for you. The 3C905 cards are
PCI busmastering cards and they REQUIRE that busmastering be enabled on
your motherboard (also known as PCI 2.1 compliance). A lot of
motherboards have this disabled by default (go figure?!). Also, not
all PCI slots on your motherboard are busmastering slots. I've found
that slot 1 (usually closest to your power supply) is almost always a
busmastering slot. So, the solution to your problem is most likely
that you don't have PCI busmastering enabled on your motherboard and/or
your NIC isn't sitting in a busmastering slot. I'd try moving the NIC
to PCI slot #1 and make sure that busmastering is enabled on your
motherboard. Worked like a charm for me!

I have linux mandrake 7.0 and i tried my soundblaster awe32 nda awe64 cards
both would not work.
I looked at info on the mandrake cdrom andthe net for a week with no fix.
Then I looked at isapnp.conf again and saw a line in it that said "default

edge , switched irq from auto to manual. it worked . for the first time.
Hope this helps I know all bios does not have the level edge values .

A couple folks have responded as though Michael asked about multiple
drives on an interface. I believe he was asking which interface
would be best for a dedicated CD-RW.
I'm also currenly looking at the issue. One of the things that is swaying
me towards SCSI is that linux (and other open unix products) support
SCSI natively. As I understand it, if you want to use an IDE CD-RW
interface, you have to tell linux that all your IDE interfaces are
SCSI and use some type of translation software (which to me is spelled
K-L-U-D-G-E).
I looks to me like the Adaptec 2930 fits the application fairly well.
It appears to be supported by linux and freeBSD. Its $99.00 on the
Adaptec web site.
Now all I have to do is find an external CD-RW to move amongst
systems with the 2930's that I'm planning on buying.

You don't necessarily have to build it yourself to get exactly what
you want. Some vendors of Linux systems (such as yours truly) will
accommodate special requests.

Not necessarily. If you have no more than two drives then you can get
about the same performance from UDMA as from SCSI. However if you
want the very fastest drives available, you'll generally find them only
as SCSI devices.

I remember finding this on my previous machine when I installed an AMD-K6
which I got from a friend. He forgot to give me the CPU Fan but I installed the
CPU anyway to see if the comination worked and monitored the CPU temperature
(very unscientifically with my thumb).
In the BIOS, setting things up the CPU got hot very quickly, so I only dared
spend about 30 secs in the BIOS at a time. In Linux the CPU stayed cool and
for simple stuff like reading e-mail etc. the temperature was stable enough not
to need the fan.

Interesting one, particularly as I've just had a similar experience. In my
case no matter what I do it won't complete a song it stops after about a
minute come what may.
I'd assumed it was the fault of the player as it's an old one I found lying
around but your message prompted me to try just playing a CD with the
buttons on the front of the player and that seems to work. I havn't heard a
whole CD yet but that's because I only just tried this - it's done three tracks
in a row so far.
I also tried the gnome panel cd player applet and that won't even start the CD
player playing.
I've only just started thinking about this but it occurred to me that maybe the
CD player app isn't keeping up with events in some way, or that something in
the background is also trying to prod the CD - some kind of auto-insertion
check like Win95/Win98 do.
I'll also look to see if I have a different cd player app that works correctly.

I have Suse 6.3 and the Soundblaster AWE64 (if I'm not mistaking) and
