Uh, i dont think -I/usr/src/linux/net/inet is a file, its a directory
and if u are getting errors it must not exist, most likely u would be
getting the 'no such file or directory' error.

Thats new!, not sure how that would affect DMA. check in your BIOS for
enabling the primary/secondary channels. Linux maybe able to talk to
the drives but the chipset could disable DMA facilities to/from them.

Neither IDE port enabled is the important bit here. If you had
windows on there I would guess it wouldn't run. I'm suprised it boots
actually.

Usually you don't have to change these sort of parameters. But the
BIOS could be a limiting factor here.

I do have problem with the WD450AA drive in which I could use the drive
to install windows2000 pro on my Asus K7M Mobo, but the windows2000 Pro
installation complains about INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DISK on an FIC PA-2013
Mobo. I called WD and they pointed their fingers to the FIC. Then, I
called FIC and they pointed their fingers to WD. So, I felt like being
kicked like a ball. Go figure ...

Subject: compile error for drivers
Date: Wed, 22 Nov 2000 18:23:37 -0500
Hopefully nothing to complicated. I have a Kingmax PCMCIA card. No problem
the company provides the drivers on the site... except you have to compile
them.
Once again no problem.... except for this error I am getting
"#error Modules should never uer kernel-headers system headers"
"#error but hesders from an appropriate kernel-source"
This means absolutely nothing to me.
I have the source installed.
I am using Redhat 7.0
If I make the entry that the rest of the readme states into the
/etc/pcmcia/config file the card is recognized but does not work properly.
Any help would be great.
Thanks

I'm using RedHat 7.0, with X 4.0. The ATI card was detected quite
nicely. I'm having two problems. The first is the most important; the
second is a wish list kind of thing.
The first problem is that I can't get better than 256 colours. I went
into XF86Config and changed the default to 32-bit, wherever default
appeared in the screen section. I'm wondering if I'm going to have to
go into all that jazz that I had to do with X 3.3.6 with the R128
download and configuration (although I can't fault it; it worked
wonderfully well). Or is there something I may be missing in
configuration, considering these are new installations.
The second problem is that I dual boot with Windows. When I've got the
screen properly sized and positioned in Linux, it's way out of range in
Windows, and vice versa. Has anybody experienced this problem? I
wonder if this problem is related to the ATI card problem...
TIA All help appreciated.

Date: Thu, 23 Nov 2000 00:48:48 GMT
Greetings,
First off, I hate setting up printers under Linux. Don't get me
wrong, I'm a big Linux fan, but I just cannot wrap my brain around
the whole concept. Somehow, one way or the other, something doesn't
work and I have to *struggle* to get my printer to print. In a

because I'm paying for it in this life....on to my problem:
(Please note: I am not using printtool, because I chose to not
install X on this box. Additionally, I'd like to learn how this
all works, so I can do this myself, etc. Also, the printer was
working on RH6.2, which I zapped, because I wanted RH7. Thanks
in advance for any help)

A few words about your 486. I had a couple, and with 30 pin simms mixed
with 72 pin simms, you could use 1 72 pin SIMM with 4 30 pin simms. If you
remove the 30 pin simms, you can use the second 72 pin SIMM. My board would
not allow me to mix 2 72 pin simms with 4 30 pin simms. I have one with 1
16 MB 72 pin SIMM and 4 1 MB 30 pin simms. Total 20 MB. If I buy another
72 pin SIMM, I have to remove the 30 pin simms.
Also, my 486's did not have controllers on the motherboard. I had to have a
VLB or ISA or PCI controller, i. e. Promise 2300. This card would also let
me see past the 540 MB limit. Yours may be different.
I would not spend any money on parts unless you buy them used for a
pittance. I belong to execpc, which had a BBS and a for-sale forum. The
guys there were all honest local techs, and when they didn't need something,
they sold it reasonably. Check the newsgroup execpc.forsale and post what
you need. Also check the area you live in for a newsgroup. chi.forsale has
a lot of stuff in the Chicago area.
I'd run an older Linux, i. e. RedHat 5.2 on a 486. My copy of RedHat 7 is
pretty sluggish with 32 RAM on a P90. However, the 486 with 5.2 was pretty
snappy.
Keep us posted.

If you're looking for an ethernet card that you can pop in and will work
the first time and that doesn't cost too much, try the Netgear FA310TX.
It is only 10mbs, but this is good enough for home. I got a home network
kit for 69$ which included two cards and a hub, the same price for a low
end 3com.
I struggled with the Linksys EtherFast 10/100 and never got it working so
I through in the towel. Don't believe Redhat's hardware compatility site,
it is NOT easy to install. I spent a whole day and never got it working.
The Netgear FA310TX I got working in no time at all.
Hope this helps some

Apparently there is a problem in Redhat 7 where the kernel source if for
2.2.16-??, but the included headers are for 2.4. I haven't used Redhat 7

I had no problems get the Nvidia drivers working in Mandrake 7.2 (with a

The problem is that Negear no longer sells the FA310TX... the new 311/312
cards use a new chipset that changes all the rules.
What kit had the old cards?

From: Tony Lill <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Date: Thu, 23 Nov 2000 02:35:56 GMT
I seem to be having a problem with dropped packets using Olicom's
driver v 1.37 in the linux 2.2.16-22 kernel. The system is a Dell
Poweredge 2400 server with 2 CPUs. The rest of the ring is Olicom
microchannel cards on NCR UNIX. These are running with an MTU of 4088
as opposed to linux' 2000.
Has anyone run into problems using these cards (or even successes)?
I'd like to try increasing the MTU to match the rest of the hosts to
see if this helps, since the packets I can sniff seem to be mostly
frags. Unfortunately, the current MAX mtu compiled into the driver is
in the neigbourhood of 3200.
The driver sets the max MTU so that the data and overhead fit in a
single page (according to the comments). Can I increase this simply by
changing the buffer size, or are there complications when the sku goes
over 1 page?

I am also trying to figure out the region codes of DVDs (and how possibly

the Region selection happen? Is it a software thing? is it a hardware

My printcap file above has an input file in
the last line specifying /var/spool/whatever.
Maybe the reason you are having trouble
is your printcap is lacking such a line,
since that is the error message you received.
This is just a guess.
My printcap was generated by whatever
printtool came with RH 6.1.
