We build Celeron 400A boxes, and they work just fine. There is a 128K cache
in the newer Celerons, and it runs at full bus speed instead of 1/2 like
the Pentium II and older Celerons. They work just fine. Check our web

I use a Nikon Coolscan II with the SANE drivers, and it works
beautifully. (I have heard that Minolta have refused to release
programming info for their scanners, so avoid their models if you
need to work in Linux.)

Date: Thu, 4 Feb 1999 07:53:18 -0600
I just upgraded my CD-ROM to a Plextor UltraPlex 32X SCSI drive. When I
recompile a kernel to include the aha7xxx driver, for some reason I can't
boot the kernel. Here is what I have done:
make menuconfig <- add SCSI into kernel, have also tried as module
make dep clean zImage
make modules modules_install
cp new_kernel_to_destination
/sbin/lilo
reboot, lilo cleanly runs, try new kernel and it doesn't get past "Loading
linux".
Now for the odd thing. I can boot from my SuSE CD, go through the install
till I select a SCSI kernel and it works just fine. As well with my old
kernel, as SCSI is a module. So I can read the CD-ROM. It's just that
with the stock kernel I would kind of like to have my sound card working,
and it doesn't (though it does with my old kernel). I suppose I can use
the OSS sound driver if I have to.
If none of this makes any sense, just email me and I can try to explain it
better.
Please also reply by email anyhow, I don't have enough hours free in the
day to peruse newgroups. Thanks.

Subject: Please Help! DC2974 PCI & CRW4416S SERIOUS Initialization Problems
Date: Thu, 04 Feb 1999 13:56:23 +0000
Dear all,
I have the following problem:
I have a Dawicontrol DC2974 PCI controller that was working fine with
the Yamaha CRW2260 burner and that now is giving me neverending problems
with the new Yamaha burner CRW4416S.
The problems seem to be related to the longer initialization time taken
by the Yamaha unit at startup, in fact starting with the original 2.0.34
kernel provided with the DEBIAN distribution CD, the unit is recognized
and works fine, but using the release 2.0.36 recompiled with only the
SCSI driver needed by the DC2974 (at least the one that has been working
since one week ago with the older unit!!) that is the AM53C974 the
start-up sequence reports a message on the Initialization failed due
timeout.
The CRW4416 works fine with the 2.0.34 original kernel but I have
noticed that before installing the proper scsi driver it attempts to
install the WD-7000 driver without success, then checks the parallel
ports and then loads succesfully the AM53C974 driver.
My opinion is that in all that process, maybe the driver WD-7000
succeeds to send an initialization instruction to the CRW unit and this
gives to the driver AM53C974 that bit of time in excess that is
sufficient to sense the unit properly.
Has anyone an idea where to put the hands in order to allow a longer
timeout during the initialization / probing process?
I have tried to change the following lines in the scsi.c of release
2.0.36 increasing the timings by a factor of 3 but it has produced no
benefits.
#ifdef DEBUG
#define SCSI_TIMEOUT (5*HZ)
#else
#define SCSI_TIMEOUT (2*HZ)
#endif
#ifdef DEBUG
#define SENSE_TIMEOUT SCSI_TIMEOUT
#define ABORT_TIMEOUT SCSI_TIMEOUT
#define RESET_TIMEOUT SCSI_TIMEOUT
#else
#define SENSE_TIMEOUT (5*HZ/10)
#define RESET_TIMEOUT (5*HZ/10)
#define ABORT_TIMEOUT (5*HZ/10)
#endif
I have also tried the release 2.2.1 also using the suggested driver
"tmscsim" without success!
Please if someone can help I think that this will be a problem also of
other people in the future.
Thank you for the help.
Marco Bagni
P.S. YES, the SCSI chain is properly terminated! Moreover the "chain"
consists of only the burner unit and the controller.

Using ctrl+alt+"plus on the number pad" changes the screen resolution, not
the colour depth. To do that, you can start X as you describe, or add the
line "DefaultColorDepth 32" (or 16, 24, etc) to the appropriate part of the

So if I do
mount -t vfat /dev/hda1 /win95
it'll mount my fat 32 drive at /win95 for me? Never new
that. I only used it so that I could have long filenames with fat16.

There is web site that has everything to get your laptop/notebook running
Linux but I don't remember where it is tho', somebody will surely post

works the first time I install it without much problem. Currently I'm

If you have PS/2 or Busmouse you may not have it's support
compiled into the Kernel.
So you have to load appropriate mouse driver or recompile the
Kernel.
For details see Busmouse-HOWTO.

Hi,
External ISDN modem is called "ISDN Terminal Adapter".
Theoretically it works exactly as a regular modem, you shouldn't
feel any difference. May be just modem INIT string should be changed.
I've installed Teles 16.3c under Linux.
It works fine.
It has "Dial-On-Demand" built-in to the Kernel driver.
You don't need Diald!
Good luck,

I have an Intellimouse 1.1A PS/2 compatible mouse.

I suspect yours should be similar and make sure that

Usually PS/2 and Busmouse support is not compiled into Kernel.
So you have to load appropriate module or recompile the Kernel.

RedHat should have installed your card when you installed Linux. Check for
a line when your system starts that indicates that it's located your card.
Make sure you configure your network adapter as "DHCP" when you do network
configuration and everything should work just fine.

Hi Ken..
Just a thought.. I don't know what distribution you're using but the mt-st
tools in a stock RH5.2 distribution are (verifiably) whacked..
I rpm -e'd them and built and installed mt-st-0.4-5.src.rpm and
everything is working fine (Adaptec2940, HP SureStor).
The stock 5.2 mt-st (mt-st-0.5-1) bombs on fsf commands and possibly
others.
Cheers

Hi Ken..
<br>Just a thought.. I don't know what distribution you're using but the
mt-st tools in a stock RH5.2 distribution are (verifiably) whacked..
<br>I rpm -e'd them and built and installed mt-st-0.4-5.src.rpm and
everything is working fine (Adaptec2940, HP SureStor).
<br>The stock 5.2 mt-st (mt-st-0.5-1) bombs on fsf commands and possibly
others.
<p>Cheers
<p>Jim

it's difficult to prove the fault is AMD's.

sounds to me like your supplier is saying whatever is necessary
to make you happy.

66 is a valid external clock, and so is 100. 75 is _not_.
you will not have a valid AGP/PCI/IDE/ISA.
