Hi,
I have an Adaptec 7895 (Dual UW) onboard, when
I partition my hdd's (two IBM DDRS-34560W 4,3Gb SCSI)
disks I get all errors about overlapping partitions.
The disk geometry is 4343 cyclinders. I have partitioned
it using fdisk.
When I change the geometry to H=255, S=64, C=555 (as used
by the Buslogic HA) I don't get ANY errors!!!
Do I have to REPARTITION my entire HDD using the new
geometry? Is there an option in the Adaptec BIOS
to use this geometry?
Thanks!

Hello !
Can seemingly only install Linux with VGA 16 colour display. The
problem appears to be video chipset SiS 5597 / 55978. Is this
unsupported by Linux. I have Xfree86 3.3.2 / Red Hat 5.1
I believe their are commercial (and non-commercial ?) alternatives
available. Is this the answer. I hope not as Linux is for home
wokstation use and I am an impoverished student !!
Would respondents be kind enough to reply via email to me in addition
to posting to Usenet.

Subject: DTC 2278E Question?
Date: Fri, 05 Feb 1999 21:19:01 GMT
Greetings,
I have a DTC 2278E VLB controller card on a 486DX4 100 running RH 5.1 Linux .
I don't think the card is running at its fullest potential, meaning DOS and
Win 3.11 with the latest DTC drivers were loading a lot faster. The system
had 32MB of Ram, so memory shouldn't be an issue. I also read some of the
past post which suggested I put the following in the first line of Lilo.conf
"append dtc2278e". I did, and there was no speed difference. I then went on
the Red Hat digest newsgroup and read their V98 #411 issue, and a gentlemen
had the same problem. However, he was able to get the dtc2278.c module or
Linux driver and recompiled his kernel, and noticed an increase in speed. I
am new to Linux and would like to know the best way to approach this? Where
can I get the dtc2278.c module or driver and how do I recompile the kernel to
use the driver?
Thank You
-James

Subject: Re: New k6-2 system advice
Date: Wed, 3 Feb 1999 11:19:07 -0600
I have a linux system nearly identical to this. Linux runs very well. No
problems with kernel compiles, etc.
My system uses K6-23DNow 350.
I use a SB16 , different drives, and a PCiethernet card, but the G200 and
motherboard are the same.
Problems:
I can't find working UDMA drivers for the Via MVP3 chipset so I've gone all
scsi. The ide drives ran well...just not UDMA. At one point I had a
patch(Jumbo?) that did work with this chipset, but I lost it when I
reloaded.
Debian wouldn't install with the Adaptec 2940UW...Redhat SuSE and Slakware
did fine. I don't know if this a known debian problem with 2940's or if its
motherboard/pci/chipset related.
My Seagate 8000 atapi tape drive locked up the ide on boot, so I've had to
replace it(scsi tape now).
The first 128M PC100 memory I got wasn't good...be careful here.
I had to download a Win95 patch from MS to clear up a win95 initialization
problem(seems they hard coded a timing loop based on intel processors...no
problems w/W98 or NT though) I quadruple boot. Win2000 Pro(beta of course)
had a little problem with the powersaver stuff, but ran fine.
There is a problem with the bios in that I can't get the "wake/boot" on
receiving an incoming modem call to turn off. It always boots up when the
modem gets a call. Could be a security problem...especially if it boots to a
MS product with auto logon as default. (I boot to Linux as default, so it's
just irritating not critical). Epox has been pretty good at getting out bios
updates, so maybe they'll fix this.
Otherwise, it's fine. With the G200 and K62 350, the system runs like a bat.
With the k62-400 you're getting it should really scream.
Modemwise...I've always used external modems and they seem to work fine with
all my OS's. On this particular setup I've used a Motorolla ModemSURFR 56k
and an older US Robotics 33.6(not winmodem of course). I've had problems
with Supra internal pnp 56k modem under everything except Windows, but the
difficulty is its plug-n-pray nonsense not the modem itself. You can make it
run under unix, but the pnp makes it a pain to setup.
Good luck.

I installed the RedHat on a 486 first which worked fine. Then I tried an Octec

How good is to have something if you can not use it?
if you are a single user, IDE will seem better and cheaper
if you are an administrator with multi users and lots of I/O, scsi is
better but more expensive
IDE can not multitask, and you will be limited to ~2 devices per
controller or channel
and one device must wait while the other is using the channel, DMA helps
reduce the wait but only if you can use it
SCSI can multitask and you are limited to ~7 devices per controller
I think I read somewhere that all 7 devices can work at the same time
remember that linux does not have support for all UDMA controllers
so even if you drive is UDMA, you might only be doing < 8MB transfer
you can check if you want
from the linux prompt type
hdparm -T -t /dev/hda
for stat in the cache transfer and data transfer, the meaninfull number
will be the data transfer
BTW, I am not even sure when linux will begin to support the new UDMA 66

Subject: Re: Linux wont recognize my modem
Date: 5 Feb 1999 13:49:40 GMT
Is it old enough to be non P-n-P? Does it have jumpers? Has recently
worked under any other OS? If it is a P-n-P modem, and still has
jumpers, then you may find a jumper setting to manually set the com
port/IRQ/port address. If it has no jumpers, the DOS setup disk may
have a utility to specify a setting. WARNING: If you set it to the
same port that an on-board serial port is using, it still won't work,
and will probably lock up your system! I suggest, that if you are
not using the built-in port(s), then disable them in the CMOS setup,
so their resources can be available for other use. If you use a
serial mouse, then this may be for example on COM 1, and many modems
default to COM 2 for this reason. If this is so in your case, then
you can safely disable COM 2, since the ISA modem (non Wincrap modem)
will have it's own UART anyway, and unless you need more than 2 serial
ports, your built-in ports won't be doing anything anyway.
OTOH, if you have a bus mouse, or a PS/2 mouse, then you can
nix both of the serial ports onboard-unless you had another use for
them?- and either will be available for the PnP modem to grab on boot
up. You may need to use the isapnp tools to get it to work if it has
no jumpers, to find out what resources it chose, so you can pass those
on to the system at boot, or edit one or some of your conf. files.
I'm not sure yet about the details of that, but read, read,
read, the answer is out there. I haven't yet jumped into Linux yet,
but I've been following this group for sometime, and reading many
books to get started, and I have about 15 years experience as a tech,
(w/ an A+ cert too), so I can't tell you first hand yet, as I was
monitoring this group to decide on which modem I should get first, as
that and a Fast Ethernet card are all the pieces I'm lacking to get
started now. This weekend looks good for a Linux install?
Hope this helps at least some...

Then excuse me for the "subject title" and now come on to facts:
Why WIN NT v 4.0 can boot & install, from & on, a SCSI Hard-Disk on SCSI
ID 14 without problems but LINUX, exacly Lilo, can not do the same??????
I have 4 SCSI HD & AHA2940UW Bios version 1.34.x setted as follow:
SCSI ID 0 IBM 18Gb
SCSI ID 6 IBM 2Gb
SCSI ID 8 IBM 4Gb
SCSI ID 14 FUJITSU 4Gb
The termination is LowOFF & HiON
The SCSI Bus is terminated properly & it work very well under NT & under
Linux.
I tried to istall Linux on HD SCSI ID 14 but the operation was not
succefull, so I chenged the jumpers, setting the SCSI HD to SCSI ID 1,
the first HD of SCSI Bus. and then LINUX was sucesfull installed!!!!
So I restore the old SCSI ID setting, I setted back the SCSI ID to 14, I
set the "Boot SCSI ID" option in the controller BIOS to boot from
ID14....But....The Linux did not boot!!!And gave me back this

Ciao Marco,

+In 2.2 kernels the SoundBlaster driver not only tries to detect an ESS chip,
it
+tries to detect the type of ESS chip too. The correct detection of the
chip
+doesn't always succeed however, so the default behaviour is 2.0
behaviour
+which means: only detect ES688 and
ES1688.
+
+All ESS chips now have a recording level setting. This is a need-to-have
for
+people who want to use their ESS for recording
sound.
+
+Every chip that's detected as a later-than-es1688 chip has a 6 bits
logarithmic
+master volume
control.
+
+Every chip that's detected as a ES1887 now has Full Duplex support. Made
a
+little testprogram that showes that is works, haven't seen a real program
that
+needs this
however.
+
+For ESS chips an additional parameter "esstype" can be specified. This
controls
+the (auto) detection of the ESS chips. It can have 3 kinds of
values:
+
+-1 Act like 2.0 kernels: only detect ES688 or
ES1688.
+0 Try to auto-detect the chip (may fail for
ES1688)
+688 The chip will be treated as
ES688
+1688 ,, ,, ,, ,, ,, ,,
ES1688

Windows is probably just silently corrupting your data. What you've
discovered is that you've overclocked too far. 450Mhz is right on
the edge of what the 300A's can typically do.
Most "regular folks" are much better off getting a Celeron 400 and
running it at 75Mhz FSB (450 Mhz CPU). Costs a little more, but you
sleep better.
