Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I just bought a Compaq which came with this sound card, and I can't get it
working with Mandrake 7.2:
Vendor: ESS Technology
Model: ES1988 Allegro-1
Kernel Module: unknown
Bus Type: PCI
I believe it's an onboard deal because I can't assume it would be anything
else in a machine like this, though I haven't even opened the case yet to
look. It's not in the list given by HardDrake or whatever. Any ideas?

That is not the problem unless the modem is an ISA modem, since PCI
cards can share interrupts without problems. The first thing to do
would be to make sure that you don't have a LoseModem; look at
http://www.o2.net/~gromitkc/ and check your modem against the database.
If it's "WM" you're basically out of luck. Rip it out of the case, sell
it to a stupid person, and go buy an external modem that plugs into the
9-pin serial port on the back of your machine. If this is a Lucent
LoseModem, you can get it to work with some fiddling and by using an old
kernel. http://linmodems.org/ for more info there.
If your BIOS is sane, you can go into it and disable "Assign IRQ for
Video Card", since video cards don't need IRQs under Linux (or Doze
AFAICT.) This will not help if the modem is PCI, but you can try it
anyway.
If it is an ISA modem, do the things described above, then set the
jumpers or use the DOS configuration utility to find out the IRQ and IO
range the thing is using, then use the "setserial" command. HTH,

Try "sndconfig" first. Then try "cat /proc/pci" and see what you come
up with. The ESS Maestro 2 and 2E (1968 and 1978) are supported in the
2.2.18 kernel AFAIK, but if the 1988 is not compatible with one of those
chipsets, you may be out of luck. The module is maestro.o. HTH, bonne

You might look at <http://users.snip.net/~gbooker/as400.htm>, _Linux
on AS/400 Project_.
In particular, you should look at
<http://users.snip.net/~gbooker/AS400/ibm.htm>, where the folks at IBM
indicate that the task of creating a Linux port would be prohibitively
difficult. In particular:
"CISC AS/400 hardware supports only a single address space. This
is a showstopper for porting linux or any unix derivative
directly to the hardware. All modern unix derivatives, including
windows NT, require separate page tables and separate process
address spaces. This could possibly be emulated, but without
hardware support it would be impossible to have proper memory or
address space protection.
CISC AS/400 hardware has no concept of user/kernel mode. This is
also a showstopper for porting linux or any unix derivative
directly to the hardware. All modern unix derivatives require
that only the kernel have access to certain devices, commands,
instructions, etc. On CISC hardware, any process can execute any
instruction from any state without kernel support. Yes, any user
process can memcpy() right over the top of the entire kernel, and
there is absolutely nothing you can do about it. There is no
hardware support for restricting this action."
It sounds as if the machine you have may even be older than the 1992
unit that the project planned to use as their "test platform," which I
expect would bode ill for your plans.
I would think it more sensible to head to <http://www.common.org/> and
see if there is any useful stuff there you might run on the AS/400
box. It may well make a nice DB/file server in a Unix network; Dunno
for sure.
I wouldn't want to spend any money on trying to get an AS/400 box on
which to run Linux...

I've got a 486DX/33 with 8MB of RAM running Red Hat 5.2. It can keep
up with the cable modem. Moving packets takes very little CPU power.
Try for more memory, as 8MB makes installation of newer versions
convoluted. With more memory, you can also boot from floppy and run
from RAMdisk, no hard disk needed. PCI is easier to configure, but
the ISA cards only need to be set up once, so it's not a big deal.

Hi,
I recently inherited a Celeron system in ATX box. The
hard drive access indicator light doesn't work. Can I
replace the LED with any standard type without adding
a series current limiting resistor, or are they using special types
with a built in current limiting resistor?
I was concerned that if the LED needed a current limiting
resistor and I didn't put one in, I would burn out the LED
driver circuit on the motherboard.

i've had the same problem. here are the commands you use (assuming
192.168.0.1 is the address of the gateway and 192.168.0.5 is the address you
want to give to the card).
since linksys uses tulip chip drivers, here you go:
modprobe tulip
ifconfig eth0 up 192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0

I have a VERY similar problem.
USR PCI Modem controller-based, linux compatible conflicts with
HPT366 Controller on "pin A" IRQ 10.
The modem is "busy" and cannot be used.
The exact same configuration (hardware, BIOS, IRQs) works perfectly in
Windows 98 SE so I don't want to move hardware around. I understand
that W98SW supports PCI IRQ Steering to handle this. Does this mean
that Linux does not yet handle it?
Any other suggestions?

I cannot get my sound card (Turtle Beach Pinnacle) to work under Redhat 7.0.
I'm dual-booting with Win2K. It appears that under Windows, my SCSI controller
is using interrupts above 15; but in Linux, it's using the interrupts that my
sound card is set to.
I presume these higher numbers are a Win2K naming convention for dealing with
shared interrupts?
The sound card is ISA in non-PnP mode. Because of the available interrupts in
my system, and the IRQ's that my sound card will use, its current setting is
about the only one that works under Windows, so I want to use the same resource
settings under Linux.
How can I get the SCSI card to use the same higher (shared) interrupts as used
under Win2K? Not having my music library available as I work is probably the
primary reason I don't spend as much time in Linux as I'd like to :-)

The performance problems are most likely related to poor memory
bandwidth, as the review noted. This is true under any OS. There are
various optimization features in the BIOSes of many VIA-based
motherboards (interleave, etc.) that can partially alleviate this. But
even if it ends up a little slower, I don't see anything really
devestating. If you really care about the difference between 120 fps and
106 in quake, or between an xmark of 70 and 68, then by all means, try
to do it with a BX. But unless you want to get a really expensive
serverworks-based board (and those aren't even fully supported in linux
yet), you are stuck with VIA if you want SDRAM and 133 mhz fsb.

I do not know the specifics on how to update the kernel, however, I saw the

There is many howtos online on how to upgrade the kernel.
