I'm running a dual PII350 with an Adaptec AIC-7895P and an IBM 9.1 gig.
You might have to chop the drive or add a line to your lilo.conf for the
size of the drive, but...
Suggestion from one who was frustrated until I found this out: Compile
your kernel with the aic7xxx built in and not a module. I don't know if
everyone has had that problem, but I had a bunch of kernel panics as my
boot disk is on the scsi chain.

As for your print filter problems, try using the uniprint driver, which
is supposed to work nicely with Epson printers, as well as the latest
version of Ghostscript.
According to the Epson web site, the 850N is supposed to be manageable
with a web-based front end. Is that true, and does it work well?
Thanks,

I'm having problems reading a tar file on a tape written

a Archive Python 28454 1ASB 4mm drive. I thought that
the Solaris writing variable records so I set the 4mm

No, that's not true either! These applications in fact run many
individual processes, each of which uses less than 2 GB of address
space. However, the SUM of the total address spaces of all of these
processes can far exceed 2 GB.
These processes do not need to share their address spaces with the
other processes making up the application.

I think we're talking past each other here. I don't want a far
pointer memory model or any of that nonsense. I want to be able to
use >2GB (>4GB, whatever) of PHYSICAL memory. When I say I want to be
able to use that much physical memory, I mean that I want the kernel
to be able to take advantage of it for my processes. All that that
means is for the kernel to be able to stash the pages of my processes
in that memory and such. My user space processes will never know the
difference; they're still using 32 bit addresses.

Thanks, Christian. I had been running my K6-350 for a while at 400 MHz,
but has a few problems - like compiling the kernel and getting a signal
11 error. I had given up over-clocking and set it back to 350 MHz -
until I read your post. Now I have raised the voltage to 2.3V and it
works great at 400 MHz, no signal 11 in sight!!

Subject: Adding an LS-120 to a working Slackware - Help?
Hi - I know, RTFM - is there one? And if so, where?
The thing is, I've got a working system, with /dev/hda1
partitioned into some vfat's and a swap. /dev/hdb is the
iso9660 cdrom, primary slave. (they do kind of go in order,
don't they?) /dev/hdc is mounted as root, and has all my
linux stuff.
I bought a Digital Research LS-120, and successfully
installed it as far as windows 95 is concerned. Secondary
slave. Took me 3 days, because like an idiot, I read the
manual before I installed it, and it said, "placing
a fast device, such as a fixed disk drive, and a slower
device, such as a CDROM or LS-120, may incur performance
penalties." So I figured I'd put the 2 HD's as primary
master & slave, and so on.
3 days later, I've got it back the way it was, plus the
LS-120, half-way. It still works in win95, but when I
try to mount a 120 MB disk, I see:
(first I thought I'd try this:
===============================
root:/proc # cat devices
Character devices:
1 mem
2 pty
3 ttyp
4 ttyp
5 cua
6 lp
7 vcs
10 misc
Block devices:
1 ramdisk
2 fd
3 ide0
9 md
22 ide1
root:/proc #
===================================
but that doesn't seem to tell me much.
And when I go:
root:/ # mount
/dev/hdc1 on / type ext2 (rw)
proc on /proc type proc (rw)
/dev/hdb on /cdrom type iso9660 (ro)
/dev/hda7 on /F type vfat (rw)
root:/ # mount -t auto /dev/hdd /G
/dev/hdd: I/O error
mount: block device /dev/hdd is write-protected, mounting read-only
/dev/hdd: I/O error
mount: you must specify the filesystem type
root:/ #
That's the answer I get.
But in the boot sequence, it reports the LS-120 as/dev/hdd, (plus as an
ATAPI CDROM drive, which is kind of confusing to the newcomer!)
So what am I missing? Do I need a kernel other than bare.i to recognize
the LS-120? If so, howcome it gets reported during boot?
BTW, it's slackware 3.3.0, with kernel bare.i v. 2.0.30 .
Any advice as to where to search out the answer to this dilemma will
be greatly appreciated.
Thank you very much.

Yeah, no matter how good linux is it can't boot from a device that is a
module that is located on a disk that is attached to the device you are
trying to load the driver for.
Don't modularize ext2 filesystem, HDD controller, etc.

I don't like Diamond either, but you have your choice of several vendors if
you buy a TNT card. The XFree86 driver works well.
Matrox has a history of good support, but it's been going down the tubes
lately. Their OpenGL ICD for Windows was months late and still doesn't
work very well. The XFree86 driver works well.

I still haven't seen a PCI G200 card. I know they're supposed to exist,
but they're not common. I've used two AGP G200 cards (a MGA-G200+ and
a Millennium G200) and they work fine. If you use 1600x1200, make sure
to get the real Millennium G200 with the 250 MHz RAMDAC, so that you can
get good refresh rates at high color depths.
I've used both AGP and PCI CL TNT cards, and I'm happy with them. IMX,
they also have clean 1600x1200 output. I haven't seen dirt cheap OEM
versions of the PCI card, just the AGP version.
An old Millennium 1 or 2 is still a fine high-res 2D card, though you
need to make sure it has enough memory for the modes you use, as the
cost of adding more is way too high. The XFree86 driver is fine.

Ok, I know this is somewhat of a problem machine due to this goofy

I can boot, and access the external SCSI CD-ROM. Partitioning seems
to work fine, and the SCSI chipset is recognized OK. However, when
the RedHat installation gets to the swap initialization part,
I get:
Kernel panic: scsi0: cannot recover

Read the kernel HOWTO, which will show you how to recompile the kernel.
It's not very hard, especially with make xconfig and all the nice help
buttons that explain every option. Download the latest 2.2 kernel
source, and read the SMP docs that come with it. It's very
straightforward.

Linux uses the HLT instruction in the OS idle loop. But this is
no substitute for proper cooling, because sometimes you're at 100%
CPU. (If you're never at 100% CPU, you paid too much for your
CPUs. :-> ) Use good fans and a roomy case and you should be
okay; those Celerons run pretty cool for their speed. If not,
add more cooling.

You do realize that the Celeron does not officially support SMP, and
that you'll need to perform some minor surgery on those processors
before they'll do it, right? Web search and you'll find several sites
with the instructions. Intel also does not support 464 or even 450
MHz from those CPUs, though most work great there given sufficient
voltage. If in doubt, back off.
Otherwise, those look good to me. You have about as much RAM as you
can put on that system without breaking the bank. Assuming your
Celerons overclock okay and you manage to do the SMP mods, you got
the best bargain in the history of CPUs, so it's hard to complain
there either. Dunno about that Epox board.

Put swap on one disk and your most frequently used applications and
data on the other. A hard disk can only read from one spot at a time,
so you want to avoid seeking back and forth too much. With IDE, put
one disk on each controller rather than putting them together to
avoid having the disks fight over the bus. I don't know how much swap
is enough for your application. Guess high, run a brutal test, and
see how much swap is in use, then modify your swap size to fit need,
available disk space, and your level of paranoia about how much
worse memory use can get.

If you got real PC100, it should work great on a 100 MHz bus. (At that
price, you need to be somewhat suspicious.) Probably also 103 MHz,
but remember it's PC100 not PC103, so that's one more thing you're
overclocking. But since you don't have ECC or parity, if there is
a problem you may never know. Do some burn-in testing; set your
machine to compile a kernel over and over in a loop. If you get a
sig 11 error, you've got a problem. Back off. If you don't, you
don't know for sure but you're probably okay. If you need more
reliability than that, then dual overclocked hacked Celerons and
non-ECC memory might not be enough for you.

I actually think MS makes some pretty good hardware. Their mice have
historically been high-quality except for the missing button. Their
operating systems suck, though. They should stick to hardware. (And
games, they've published some pretty good games.)
I don't know of any support for those wheels, though I haven't looked
very hard even though I have one on my mouse, because I think the
scroll wheels are pretty silly. It'll appear soon enough if it hasn't
already, as those things are very popular and not too complex. If you
can't get the Intellimouse to work right, spend $20 on a 3-button
Logitech. (I have the MouseMan+ with the scroll wheel, and while
the wheel doesn't work as a wheel under Linux it works fine as a
button.)
BTW, I hate Sun mice, especially the optical ones. (Sun keyboards are
even worse. One of these days I'll try an adapter to hook a proper
IBM keyboard to the Ultra 5 at work.) So you might want to ignore
my advice in this area as my preferences seem to be the exact opposite
of yours.
Good luck.

get a very crackly .au or .wav playback by just cat-ing to /dev/audio/ .
The only thing I can put it down to is my conf.modules which contains
currently
options sb io=0xd800 irq=5 dma=1
alias sound es1370
alias sound-service-0-3 es1370
alias sound-slot-0 es1370
alias sound-slot-1 es1370
Can anyone offer any advice? I know people have this configuration of
card and kernel. Please reply by email.

People,
for anyone out there with a device (like a digital camera) that
uses compactflash, may I recommend the Simple Technology PC Photoreader.
Plugs into the parallel port and Linux will find it. Mounts as a DOS disk
and works very well. For $145AUS it's well worth it.
