The things to have "multiple" of are, for this sort of application,
the _I/O_ controllers.
- Multiple NICs could be of value if the traffic would saturate the
segment the server is on.
- Multiple SCSI controllers could similarly be of value to provide
additional disk I/O bandwidth.
The salescritters proposing multiple CPUs are primarily promoting
their own _sales_; the application in question is not likely to
saturate one CPU let alone four of them.
To be sure, the more memory, the more can get cached, and thus the
less work the disk drives need to do.
The most likely bottlenecks are nonetheless likely to fall somewhere
between:
a) Disk device latency,
b) Disk maximum throughput,
c) Network throughput.
The main CPU(s) don't have any involvement with these bottlenecks, and
I'd be surprised to see CPU get anywhere _close_ in importance to
those bottlenecks.

I would try:
put a line in fstab like:
/dev/hdb /ls120 auto user,exec,dev,suid,rw,noauto 2 1
run
mount /ls120
man fstab and man mount should give you some hints.
BTW hda is the first hard disk, hda1 is the first partition on the first
hard disk, linux treats a LS120 like a hard disk not a floppy

Kernel 2.2.16 will support 2GB, but you need to configure the Kernel to use
more than 1 GB.
That is, you need to build your own custon Kernel.

That's a hint. Try doing an lsmod, and see if you have a module called
"ltmodem". If so, you have a Lucent winmodem, with the Lucent-provided module.
(That's good). By default, it tries to use ttyS14.
Start up minicom as root, with the "-s" option, and point it to /dev/ttyS14.
See what you get.

The BIOS is only used to boot the system. Therefore, you don't need to
upgrade it.
Do you have the ide patch for your 2.2.16 Kernel?
If you don't, you should get that:
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/hedrick/ide-2.2.16.all/ide=
=2E2.2.16.all.20000825.patch.bz2
The patch has specific support for your chip set.

The BIOS is only used when you boot the system. You don't need to update=
it.
Do you have the ide patch for your Kernel. If not, you should get it to
upgrade:

PC-Chips make shoddy equipment. Buy yourself a new motherboard and you
will have fewer problems in the long run.
That said, try the text-only installation. At the LILO: prompt you get
from booting from the CD-ROM, enter "text" or possibly "linux text". I
don't have my RedHat 6.2 CD sitting close by, but you should be able to
get a text-mode install going with a command like that.
If this thing has the video chip soldered onto the motherboard, the most
likely explanation for your problem is that the onboard video can't deal
with normal 640x480x16 VGA. Some cheap video chips are like that--I
don't suppose you know the exact make and model of the video chip?
Run "xf86config" once your system is installed to attempt to configure
graphics modes. DO NOT use Xconfigurator; it tries to use VGA mode as
well and will likely hang your machine.

Linux starts numbering with "0". Therefore, if you are really using the
secondary device on ide1 (same ribbon cable as your CD-ROM?) this is the 4th
device, not the 2nd. You can check this with the /proc tree:
cat /proc/ide/ide1/hdd/model
I have a Zip so on my system it reports the Zip.
Therefore, you should be mounting "hdd?" I have heard (I don't own one)
that the LS120 uses partition 4 like the Zip does. If that is the case you
should mount "hdd4". If not, ??? The CD-ROM doesn't use a partition
number. If the LS120 works that way it would be "hdd". Then there is always
trial and error.

It's my understanding that Xfree doesn't support dual monitor set ups,=20
yet. There are plans to include that in the next major release. All is=

according to my recollection after reading the Xfree FAQ.
Hope this helps,=20

Hi,
I don't know how it works in RH since I have a Suse system. Anyways, the
command I used is:
1. pnpdump -c > /etc/isapnp.conf
2. isapnp /etc/isapnp.conf
the "-c" switch takes care that the cards are immediately enabled. In Suse
ISA cards are then automatically activated when booting.
HTH,
rude
