Hi everybody. I have a Creative Audio PCI 128 and I can't get it working
with Red Hat 7. Sndconfig says it's an Ensoniq 5880 and it's not
supported and then quits. Any hints? Thank you.

I think so. At least RH7 says the same thing as Windows for IRQ and
memory areas. I'll dig up the exact info when I get home. (The Tulip
NIC and the 3c905 share IRQ 11, but that should be ok on a PCI bus.
In any case without the Tulip NIC, the 3Com Nic didn't work either.)

I have a Macronix 98713 based NIC that works fine under Windows. It's
connected to a Cisco ADSL router and when windows boots, the LAN light
goes on on the router and also on the NIC. But when I load the tulip driver
under
Linux, the light(s) is off and there is no connection to the router.
I have searched the net for a solution, but I only found old posts from
people with
the same problem, but no solution. Does anyone know of a solution? I have
tried
various tulip drivers, with no luck.
Hope someone can help.

I am buying a new system. The possibilities seem to have narrowed down to:
1) PIII 933 with 256MB P133 SDRAM and 815E chipset
and
2) PIII 933 with 256MB P600 RDRAM and 820 chipset
The latter has thermal monitoring, which sounds nice.
I should really appreciate any comments as to which might be the one to go
for, other things being equal.
I should also appreciate any comments on the issue of Adaptec 2940 versus
29160 as the scsi controller

Hi,
I'm looking to buy a portable HD for my Linux laptop. I have both USB

portable hard drive to connect to it.
I've seen the Kanguru and Archos peripherals, and they look nice, and

I've used a normal laptop hard drive with one of the PCMCIA IDE
controllers (mine came in a backup kit from Apricorn). Worked fine.

If you have your IDE CD burner working, it is now accessed as a SCSI
device, not the IDE CDROM.
I assume you are referring to it (in scripts and programmes) as
/dev/cdrom.
This is a link to the actual device used.
Find which scsi device is being used and change the link, for example, I
had to change my /dev/cdrom entry to point to scd0 (/dev/scd0) (that is
for my CDROM, I also put in a /dev/cdrw link to point to my cdrw drive and
had to set that to link to scd1).
If you have a CD rom drive and a CD rw drive on your system, you probably
made both SCSI devices (the best way) and need to access them then you
will have to access them using the SCSI identities (they lost their IDE
identities when you set up the ide-scsi translator to handle them as scsi
so you could use the burner).

You may, or may not have the bug. Try installing SoftFPU under MacOS
and running a number of FPU based programs. If it crashes you have the
bug.
Even if you don't have the bug, or wish to go the softFloat route, you
may not find it very userful to run linux m68k on this machine: last I
heard, neither the ADB (meaning keyboard and trackpad) or video systems
we're supported. You can log in on a external terminal over the serial
port...
I'm sure that if you want to work on supporting these systems, many
people will be thrilled.

If you are looking for an easy way to do this, install Mandrake 7.0 or later
(older version may work as well. I'm only certain about 7.0 and later). It
will autodetect your CDRW drive and set it up automagically in the install.
Just make sure that you install all of the CD Buring utils during install
and you'll be able to use it the first time you boot with no extra work.
It's sweet. I've done it the hard way (e.g. recompile the kernel, etc. ) and
well... there's no comparison as to ease of setup.
One caveat: if your drive is not supported (usually applies to older
drives), then the above may not be true. I've found it to work flawlessly
with my drive every time I've upgraded (I'm no on Mandrake 7.2--very nice).
Once your systems boots, log in and type 'cdrecord -scanbus' as the command
prompt. If everything went well, you'll see the ide-scsi ID.

Please go to comp.periphs.scsi to find out about SCSI
(read the FAQ there). This newsgroup is for Linux-specific
hardware questions/discussions.
When it comes to Linux you may find it useful to know
that - as long as your SCSI controller is supported by Linux -
any hard disk that you attach to it will work too.

Subject: mount of cdrom hangs

Hello,
can anyone help me?
I can not access my cdrom burner. I updated from 2.2.17 to 2.4.0.
On 2.2.17 I had no problems with this.
I took the same modules, meens my scsi kernel configuration is the same.
The kernel seems to detect every scsi thing normal.
I also have a IDE cdrom, which works ok.
If i want to mount a CD or test the scsi-bus with "cdrecord -scanbus",
the command hangs.
After that the kernel prints some messages:
Jan 11 19:26:38 thor kernel: cdrom: open failed.

... and so on.
Sometimes the kernel also hangs for a short time.
For cdrom and burner I load this modules: ide-cd advansys sr_mod
My harddisc is a ide, so ide driver is integrated in the kernel.
The kernel prints at start (all OK):
