I have seen the same "problem" though, because the drives only do
25-40Mb/sec sustained, having a bus that transfers at 2x that is
still
acceptable. You might want to see if Red Hat recently upgraded (or
downgraded) the AIC7xxx driver in the most recent patch.

Hello All:
<If you don't want me to post stuff like this here, just say so
- my intention is to inform, not just to make a sale for my company.>
I just wanted to provide another option. Arista corporation
(aristaipc.com) has a few 1U and 2U rackmount designs,
most of which use dual-voltage power supplies (safety-
certified 110/220V). (I confess to being an employee,
although not a salesman <contrary to appearances>)
Arista sells components, partial systems, complete systems,
and even systems with OS installed (Linux: R.hat,Suse are
most common; FreeBSD; Solaris; or that windows stuff).
Arista is also working on integrating Sun Microsystems
hardware into a 1U system. They also sell internationally.
I think you will find with a little research that there are many
other companies that sell rack mountable 1U systems as well,
but be prepared to pay a bit more for a 1U system than a
desktop - nobody's chassis (pl?) are exactly what would be
called cheap. Also, for most 1U designs you can forget
about the slot1/slotA CPU's. PGA 370 abd AMD's
equivalent are normally the only option.

Subject: Mandrake 7.1 GRRRRRRR
Date: Wed, 28 Jun 2000 09:46:08 GMT
From: John W Kendrick <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
I have a 4.3 gig maxtor hard drive. Its worked fro me fin under
windoze
and under red hat 6.2, and the bios recognizes it fine.
When I try to install Mandrake 7.1 the install program only sees the
Hardrive as having 1882. Also, half the itme, it wont read the
partition
table. Since then Red Hat now osmetimes has trouble reading the
partititon
table, but I can just use fdisk to blank it out and start over, and
then
Red Hat once again recognizes the drive perfectly.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can get Mandrake to
recognize
the drive.
Also, how can I fisk bad partition tables.
One other notes. Since this failed attempt to install Mandrake,
enither
Mandrake or Red Hat will properly use the tulip module for my
specific
ethrenet card. It worked perfectly before.

Yeah, just check www.dabs.com for one place. A quick search on
'rackmount'
showed 3 cases; one AT, one ATX and one Drive case. They are more
expensive,
but they are probably better cases than your cheapo desktop case for
50
quid.

As of release 7.0 Mandrake ships with 2 "tulip" drivers one is called
tulip, the other tulip_old. if you have an older card, you might need
to use the tulip_old driver (I had the opposite problem when I
installed my cards, with Mandrake 6.0)

I am a long time WaveLAN user, both in mobile stations, and desktops.
The "PCI" WaveLAN solution is not a seperate PCI based card. It is a
PCI based PC Card socket, and you use the normal PC Card based
WaveLAN
in.
To utilize the PCI PC Card socket, you use the normal Cardservices,
and
enable the "Extra sockets=1" (if memory serves) feature in the
configuration. This will allow cardservices to see your new PC Card
socket.
>From that point, you utilize the traditional WaveLAN drivers.
Hope this helps.

To identify what the machine does?
e.g.
mail server is called 'mail'
web server is called 'www' (why not http or web?)
ftp is called 'ftp'
It makes more sense to people who arn't familiar with your network.
If you say
"Copy the configuration file from mail to www" it makes sense to
pretty much
everyone, where as if you name your machines after lovecraft
characters, it's a
little bit confusing.

I have been having the same problem, with the same kernel, and
printer...
I'm wondering if there is just a conflict between the epson driver
and the
newer kernel (I updated from 2.2.12 to 2.2.14 and it worked fine
under
both kernels) but the 2.2.16 update has been unable to print.
Ive looked EVERYWHERE, so if someone can post the answer, or even
email
me, i would appreciate it too, since i rarely get to check back on
the
newsgroups.
Thanks,
James Mourra

I'm searching for device drivers for a Standard Tape Library/Jukebox.
We
don't need anything advanced, just command line control of the
robotics
using the standard set of SCSI commands.
Anyone heard of a solution out there?
Thanks,

well actualy my ethernet card requires a special tulip driver wich I
have
to download and compile. UNfortuntaley, where before it worked
perfectly,
now it wont compile right under either distro (gives two "suggest
[something] to avoid ambigious else command" and when I try to use a
version I compiled before that worked it gives me the error "ismod
cannot
handle [some long number]"
(Im at work so I cant look at the specifics right now)
