Here is my /proc/pci for my vortex 2. The only thing I wonder is why
it has such a high IRQ number. In my experience both windows and
linux all put multimedia controllers lower if done PnP style. Mine
is forced there by me through my computers bios though.
I am not sure whether the module excepts any arguments.
Bus 0, device 13, function 0:
Multimedia audio controller: Unknown vendor Unknown device (rev 250).
Vendor id=12eb. Device id=2.
Medium devsel. Fast back-to-back capable. IRQ 3. Master Capable.
Latency=32. Min Gnt=4.Max Lat=12.
Non-prefetchable 32 bit memory at 0xe6000000 [0xe6000000].
I/O at 0xe800 [0xe801].
I/O at 0xec00 [0xec01].

You want your boot partition within the first 1024 cyl I beleive... What
command line parameters did you use when you used "patch" to install the
HPT370 kernel patch? I installed the patch but am now swamped with compiler

many drivers because...

so many drivers.

You can try to install minimum of distro suporting HPT370 like Gentus , later
write down from /var/log/messages parameters of ide2 or ide3, and then pass
them to the kernel during booting distro you want to install.
like this (example you have to have your value)
boot: linux ide2=0x8056, 0x8750

A friend of mine (a quite experienced Windows user) just installed Win2K.
If his experience is any guide, you'll never get it to work.

clarify what you mean by traffic. windows networking, FTP etc. If it windows

Transferring the other way is slow, how are you transferring the data?

You almost got bricktext there. Nice. But no, in general, things do
not Just Work. If they did, people like me would be out of a job ;-]
Anyhow, there's something relatively strange I've noticed with new
kernels and older DHCP client software: Unless the Ethernet interface
has some sort of IP before the DHCP client gets called, it won't get
anything from DHCP. You can hand-hack around this by "ifconfig eth1
192.168.34.3 up" (substitute your own bogus address) right before you
fire up dhclient or dhcpcd or pump. Or upgrade your DHCP clients--I
*think* the latest versions don't have this problem. The silly hack
workaround I described worked for me, though. HTH, bonne chance.

More info, please. Is this a SCSI external drive? An IDE removable-bay
drive, like the ORB models? A USB drive? A FireWire drive? A ZIP
drive? Answer these questions and someone will be able to help you.
Quick answers below.
SCSI external: No problem. Check your cables, check your termination,
compile a kernel with support for your SCSI card, support for SCSI
disks, and SCSI support, and you're set.
IDE removable: Easy. You most likely already have IDE disk drivers
installed. Plug it in and go. However, you *MUST* umount the disk
before removing the cartridge, or you will lose big-time.
USB/FireWire: Some models work, some don't. FireWire support is pretty
chancy atm, but lots of people are using USB. http://linux-usb.org/ for
specific info on specific devices.
ZIP (parport): Easy. Compile parallel-port, line printer, SCSI
support, SCSI disk support, and imm (under "SCSI lowlevel drivers") as
modules. "modprobe lp scsi_mod sd_mod imm" and mount your ZIP on
/dev/sda4 (DOS) or /dev/sda (Mac). There's a HOWTO at
http://linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/mini/ZIP-Drive.html IIRC.
HTH, good luck....

Since current Redhat package does not support SYM53c1010, I cannot

Are talking about the Lucent MiniPCI modem found on, for instance, the

binary module (available in a file called linux568.zip -- which I am
pretty sure is available through the aforementioned linmodems.org site)
am able to use my Lucent MiniPCI modem under Linux. Where one runs into
problems is when upgrading much beyond the 2.2.14 version of the

.16 and maybe even some varieties of .17, but I do not think it
currently works under any 2.4.0-testX. Hope this helps.

I disagree with this one sorry. Win2k can be rock solid, mines been up and
running for 1 month. The only time it goes down is updates and
thunderstorms. I might also add the Linux box has been up for 2 weeks.
Course that's also how long I've had it running Linux.
But come on, you can't be seriously saying that learning Linux is as easy to
learn as windows?

| A friend of mine (a quite experienced Windows user) just installed Win2K.
| If his experience is any guide, you'll never get it to work.

| Buy a machine with Linux pre-installed, like you did your Windows box.
