Thanks for your help.
It looks like the ESS Sound Card driver is initializing the gameport
properly as ti gives that gameport found at 0xa001 message on boot up.
>From what I understand, I need to load the joydev module (the generic
joystick module) then the ns558 module for the gameport, and then the
adi module which is for the logitech digital joysticks. When I try to
load the ns558 module though, it says the device is not found (no busy
message). It is as if it can't find the gameport....perhaps I will
have to look at the source code and see how it detects it for a hint
at what's wrong.

hi -
i have problems mounting my ZIP under LINUX resp. under Windows.desperate
as i am - i was wondering whether you could help.
pls, reply to me via e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
some info: i have an IOMEGA IDE ZIP drive, run SuSE.
everything worked fine with my first ZIP disk, but my new ones don't work.
first, i couldn't mount them under LINUX (using: mount -t vfat /dev/hdd4
/zip), but they worked fine for Windows. so, i used fdisk resp. sfdisk to
delete the partitions on the ZIP, which were kinda all messed up, created
a new, empty hdd4, and used mkfs.msdos /dev/hdd4 to write a DOS
filesystem. this works fine with LINUX, i can mount with the usual
command, but Windows can't read the ZIP, saying it doesn't recognise the
filesystem. when i use IOMEGAWARE under Windows to re-format the ZIP, it
works well for Windows but under LINUX: no way to mount it on hdd4; hdd
goes.
this is what IOMEGAWARE "produces" on the ZIP after formatting it:

Subject: Kernel 2.4.x breaks microtek SCSI 35t+ scanner!
I have been posting to this newsgroup about problems with my 2 year old
SCSI 35t slide scanner. I hadn't used it for a while and found that it
failed to scan and gave SCSI bus errors in /var/log/messages when
accessed via GIMP and xscanimage. On the same machine, it works under
WinNT, so it is mechanically OK. I realized that the last time I had
used it was probably before installation of RH 7.0 and subsequent
upgrading of a 2.2.17 kernel to 2.2.1. I now have found that it is the
kernel upgrade that was the culprit, but I don't have a solution to make
the scanner work in a 2.2.x kernel.
My other SCSI devices workewith the newer kernels (including a microtek
E6 scanner, Yamaha 4x4x16 cdrom writer, and 100 meg zip drive).
I have just recompiled a 2.2.19 kernel and a 2.2.0 kernel and tried both
of them with the scanner. The scanner (and other devices) work fine with
the 2.2.19 kernel, but the 35t+ shows the following symptoms with the
2.2.0 kernel. (Also a 2.2.1 and 2.2.4 kernels that I have also tried.):
When accessed under GIMP 1.1 (xscanimage 0.61) from RedHat 7 package,
(Xtrns > Acquire Image, preview window ), the slide is lowered into
place, but as the scan begins, the error "device is busy" occurs. In
/var/log/messages file, I get a variety of messages from the SCSI bus.
Typical is:
May 2 23:01:08 rdenney kernel: scsi : aborting command due to timeout :
pid 0, scsi0, channel 0, id 3, lun 0 Read Reverse 00 00 00 06 00
May 2 23:01:09 rdenney kernel: SCSI host 0 abort (pid 0) timed out -
resetting
May 2 23:01:09 rdenney kernel: SCSI bus is being reset for host 0
channel 0.
May 2 23:01:18 rdenney kernel: (scsi0:0:3:0) Data overrun detected in
Data-In phase, tag 0;
May 2 23:01:18 rdenney kernel: Have seen Data Phase. Length=6,
NumSGs=1.
May 2 23:01:18 rdenney kernel: sg[0] - Addr 0x177d0000 : Length 6
The slide remains in the lowered position until the scanner is powered
off and on, which reboots the scanner and restores it to a ready state.
If anyone has any idea why this particular scanner would malfunction
with kernels 2.4.x, but not with 2.2.19, would be appreciated. I
NEED kernel 2.4.X to access a new 60 meg harddrive I have attached to a
ATA100 IDE card (using the Promise 20267 chip support compiled into the
2.4.x kernel). The 2.2.19 kernel has no support for this card and the
drive is not recognized.
Oh well, I can alwas boot into either kernel using lilo!

Yes I have. It happened the other day when one server blew its /bin
into lost+found. For some reason nobody had ever implemented the
madatory backup of / on that machine to /spare, and it had as /spare
and old libc5 installation, that would hardly play well with the libc6
stuff in /usr.
As I recall, I mounted some other libc5 stuff via nfs, and set
LD_LIBRARY_PATH to point to it (or the reverse, I forget).

This is no big deal. It just requires a boot parameter to disable the
disable of the cpuid.
We have tons of durons here, running off debian 2.2. Of course, the
kernels are compiled locally. Kernels are _always_ independent of the
distribution.

Is the printer ASCII compliant? Did you try sending a ^L (that
is, ctrl-L, a page break)? Some ASCII printers don't print
until they've received a whole page. Of course, if the printer
doesn't understand ASCII, then this won't work.

Thought it was about time i learnt a bit about linux. I installed Turbo
linux 5.3 coz I got that on a magazine cover DVD a while back.
Everything seems fine except I can't use my mouse. It's a USB intellimouse.
Is this version too old to support usb, do i have to update the kernel (?),
can anyone talk me through what I need to do to get it working?
I have a USB keyboard as well but that works OK cos i guess it is handeled
through the BIOS.

"thl" is _relatively_ difficult to pronounce, depending
on how limited your understanding of phonemics is. It's
not as bad as trying to pronounce distinct retroflex and
dental consonants or Klingon fricatives, but it's more
difficult (assuming English is your native tongue) to
say "Athlon" (two syllables: a - thlon) than it is to
say "Athalon" (three: a - th' - lon; that's a schwa
after the th). This phenomenon is not unique to "Athlon";
any word with a long syllable bearing non-blending
adjascent consonants (except r, which has its *own*
morphological trends) tends to get an extra schwa
inserted. If AMD calls their next processor the the
Zoomphthon, people will write "zomofithon" or
"zoomaphathon" or somesuch. (They're not planning
to call it that; I made that up as an example.)
> Are they all from the Southern USA?)
People in northern Ohio and Indiana make the same
mistake, so it's not limited to the south. Whether
it's limited to the USA, I don't know, but I doubt it.

I went to their website (www.newmediatechcorp.com) and punched
that model number into the Search box and found the item. Here:
http://www.newmediatechcorp.com/proddetail.asp?linenumber=6&category=Multifunction
It only claims to support MS OSes, though. The "detailed"

whether there's a modem/controller, either. But that's
an argument from silence.
Maybe someone who knows more about laptop hardware can say

I turn it off when I'm going to be away from it for
eight hours or so, yeah. I also have multiple OSes,
and I get my email in Windoze (because Pegasus Mail
is not available for Linux, unfortunately).
However, even if I only rebooted after making
serious configuration changes (say, modifications
to /etc/fstab or the symlinks in /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/
or whatever) every 20 mounts would still be a bit
too often IMO. (And yes, I know it's not strictly
necessary to reboot for such things, but it's
just easier; fewer commands to type that way.
Plus, I typically want to test that I have it
sufficiently "right" that after a reboot it
will behave just like I want.)

according you to ifconfig you card is actually fine and sending receiving

packets hence why you haven't been able to ping anything.
It boils down to one thing, what is the output of 'route' (run as root).
My guess is that (especially the error you are getting) tells me that your
routing table is fscked. Either send us the details or look over it
