Subject: HELP! /dev/lp?
Date: 11 Feb 1999 18:03:14 GMT
Hi.
I have a printer on LPT1 (/dev/lp0) and no LPT2 or LPT3 ports on my
hardware. Just LPT1.
I have a printer on LPT1 which I know that Linux can't use because it's
a Winprinter.
The weird thing is that if I run printtool, it says that Linux has
detected /dev/lp1 but not 0 or 2. Why does it see a /dev/lp1 and not a
/dev/lp0? All of my I/O addrs, DMA, and IRQ values are normal default
values.
Oh yea, I'm running RedHat Linux 5.2 with 2.0.36 kernel.
Thanks.
Mark

I also had trouble using Loadlin *before* Win. Had to do reboot to DOS
after windows before LOADLIN. Never did find out why, though, but perhaps
this was due to my HP 7100+ CD Writer which required initialising before
Linux would recognise it, and unfortunately it was the drivers in Win which
did this (Don't have any trouble with an 8100 though)! This was just a
plain vanilla P166 64MB machine with *no* P&P cards or anyhing else weird.

As far as I know, this is a bug in pppd 2.3.5. Everything seems to work
fine (routes, ifconfig, ...), but no data is transferred.
Try this workaround: Simply replace "crtscts" with "xonxoff".
If it worked well, please post!

Date: Thu, 11 Feb 1999 19:04:47 GMT
Hi,
I installed RedHat-5.2 on my new machine and cannot configure
sound in a proper way. When I run sndconfig, it correctly detects
my onboard es1371 soundcard and asks me to listen for a sample.
I can hear the sample, but the quality is horrible: a lot of noise
and distortion. However, when I play CD using xplaycd, everything is
fine. Did anybody have such a problem?
Just for reference, here is the line from my conf.modules:
alias sound es1371
Thanks for the help.

hello,
I've asked this question a few times in other lists but
nobody seems to know a solution or the problem
I've keep getting (and some other people with who i've
got in contact with because of this problem)
the following messages on our console (10)
============================================================================
irq timeout: status=0x50 { DriveReady SeekComplete }
hda: disabled DMA: reset: success
============================================================================
someone also made a notice that 2.1.x-kernel with x < 102
hade some bugs with the ide-driver.
but i've checked with the latest kernel and with 2.0.33
and this doesn't solve the problems.
So if someone here would know something more about
this feel free to respond.
Thank you verry much,

You are going to need to upgrade your XFree86 stuff
to 3.3.3.1. Check out http://www.XFRee86.org for
more info. If you are running Redhat, you can get the
updates as RPMs from http://updates.redhat.com or one
of it's mirrors (I use ftp://ftp.tux.org/pub/redhat/updates

Hi, I have recently finished configuring my laptop with both Linux and 98,
but currently I am booting from a floppy to get into linux. I would like to
install lilo on the master boot record, I appreciate any help:
I have /dev/hda1 (Win 98)
/dev/hda2 (Linux Native)
/dev/hda3 (Linux Swap)
In addition and this is really the most IMPORTANT question, I would like to
backup the old MBR on /dev/hda, in case I want to reinstall it later if I
decide to remove linux and dedicate another machine for it, and just use
the laptop for 98 only. Also, if you know that answer to this, can you give
me some help on how to reinstall the old MBR back on /dev/hda.....
Thank you very much

I'm contemplating buying a (used) parallel computer which consists of a '30

Oops...be careful. You're assuming not buying a 3rd party

Hi Everybody

It happens with kernel 2.0.36 & 2.2.1 so I can't recompile my kernel.
I've been told this could be an issue with the BIOS on my mbd (ASUS TX97 -LE)
but the BIOS is updated, there's only one version.
Did u already experience this problem before ??? Can you help me ???

I have the same problem and my ZIP drive is from

I'm afraid there is not much you can do. The MWave modems that IBM uses
(I've got a ThinkPad 600 with on) are currently useless under Linux. They
are software modems (Not winmodems cause their is DOS/NT drivers),
and until IBM produces Linux drivers you're stuck. You could always
buy another modem for this.

Greetings,
I am having a terrible time trying to get my Linux OS to recognize my internal
modem blaster 56K PCI modem. I don't believe it is a Winmodem as it has a 16550A
UART chip and does not specify that Win95 is required, etc.
I am running RedHat Linux 5.1 (kernel 2.0.34)
Some of the things I have tried:
o I have tried using the pnpdump utility to "find" the modem, but to no avail.
o Also, setserial does not detect it either. Not suprisingly, the minicom program
also is not able to communicate with it.
o I doubt that there is any interrupt conflict. I have disabled all other serial
ports (in the BIOS) except COM1 which is used for the mouse.
I don't see an interrupt 3 under the /proc/interrupts output, which is what I
would have expected for the modem.
Has anyone out there gotten the ModemBlaster modem to work under Linux?
If so, please show me the light!
Thanks for any help that comes my way.
Regards, Steve

try the cs4232 sound driver. it should detect the Maestro card without the
need of further plug'n'play software like isapnp etc.
