This setup is not only wrong, but will fry your components in the long
run. A bus speed of 83MHz is way to fast to be cmpatible with ISA specs.
The manual for the boards that actually allow such settings usually
explicitely state that this setting is unsupported and may or may
not cause severe problems up to permanent hardware damage.
>>Bus is set to 66Mz with jumper, voltage is set to 2.8 V (there is no
>>jumper setting for 2.7 V).
[...]
That doesn't make much sense. The bus speed may be either 66MHz (which
would be fine) or 83MHz (which would be way too fast). A sane setup
for a Cyrix 266 should be a bus speed of 66 MHz and a 4x jumper setting
for the core speed. If that doesn't work, use a 3x setting to reach
200MHz internal.
But since the board doesn't even have a valid setting for the correct
voltage, my advice ould be junking the whole stuff (you've been had)
and getting a sane new system with a reasonable setup. You're probably
wasting way too much time for this junk - unless you can get a hold
of the reseller and demand an exchange. Selling a board with an incompatible
CPU is a matter for the BBB.

Hi !
After following all available instructions on the web, we haven't been able
to get IBM DeskStar 75GXP HDD to work (right) with linux. Actually, after a
hack that's usually reccomended (accessing disk as oridinary IDE drive) we
are able to mount the disk, but it works without DMA (it throws a message
during startup after failing with DMA) normally. But when we attempt to
start DMA with hdparm -d1 /dev/hde entire computer hangs...
Anyone have a solution to this? Looked on lhd.datapower.com, but they
Configuration:
IBM DeskStar 75GXP 46.1Gb on Promise Ultra66 controller card
RedHat 6.2, all drivers are up-to-date and latest...

the usual list of information except the Config Line (irq number etc..) is

I have it set to reboot on power restore. i.e. if power
fails, it reboots when the power comes back. Works fine except
for the case where power fails during the memory check. On the
next boot, it boots into the setup rather than the OS.
If power is cycled at this point, it will boot normally.
What to do, I don't want to have to cycle power remotely.

Thank you, though I'm not an old timer (I'm still a newbie w/ only three
years of unix, linux and netbsd behind me), yet. Me and gdb are only just
close personal friends :)
I've haven't used strace before, my privious slack install was without it,
but I see how useful it is now. Below is the last few lines from the
output:
readlink("/proc/self/fd/0", "/dev/ttyS1", 4095) = 10
stat("/dev/ttyS1", {st_mode=S_ISGID|0101, st_size=0, ...}) = 0
geteuid() = 0
getegid() = 0
open("/dev/ttyS1", O_RDWR) = ? ERESTARTSYS (To be restarted)
--- SIGINT (Interrupt) ---
+++ killed by SIGINT +++
Well it seems that the open blocks on trying to open the serial device
I have the vt320 attached to. This is the last syscall regardless of
how long I wait.
I'm stumpted right now. Any ideas are welcome before ask the maintainer and
look foolish (it's probably something obvious).

This is actually worse than without DMA on Promise Ultra66..
hdparm -d1 /dev/hdc goes trough and score looks same (3.02Mb/sec), meaning
it didin't turn on DMA (which can be also seen in UDMA modes: line, there
isn't an * with mode something).
So, not that DMA does not work trough Promise Ultra66, it does not work for
DeskStar even on motherboard controller (Maxtor works fine on same controler
with UDMA mode2, that would be ATA/33 I think)...
Any ideas anyone. It's latest Promise driver, latest kernel patch, but still
nothing. Is it the Deskstar or is it the computer?
ZX440 chipset, UDMA-33 onboard controler. Interesting, BIOS does not see the
IBM (it does not look for it), but when I changed it in BIOS to look for
Secondary Master it did not find it at all...
Am I insane or there's something wrong with the world ??

a case with powersupply, mobo, last year's CPU, 64MB ram, a 9GB hard
drive, a voodoo3 video card and small floppy. this should be doable
for $650. it doesn't have to mean unreliable. you could do this with
quality parts. you just don't get all that many goodies. it's a hell

certainly better than what my employer provides for me (substitute

Linux doesn't _have_ printer drivers, because Linux does not, itself,
support printers except by providing ports to which data may be
streamed.
You should be directing the question to whether the printer is
supported by _Ghostscript_.

<http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/aladdin/devices.html>
<http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/aladdin/doc/Devices.htm>
As the specs that I see indicate that the P8ex supports both PCL5e and
PCL6, and thus should be supported by one or another of the HP
LaserJet drivers included with GhostScript.

Note the 'auto' in column 3. This will let any user mount the floppy,
and it will have his/her permissions once mounted, and it will determine

I know a small utility called "scsistop". Look for that
for ex. at freshmeat or ftp:ftp.metalab.unc.edu/pub/linux
/system/hardware (or similar IIRC).
Very simple, expects devicename of resp. disk and "start"

a few days' usage, though).
