I don't have any clue as to how to solve your problem. All
that I can say is that I have seen it before. Many moons ago
I tried to install Linux on a homegrown 386sx16 w/ 5 Megs
RAM and a _very_ old BIOS. The several different distributions'
bootdisks all hung after printing "LI" on the screen. I never got
far enough to install to the hard drive, so I do not know how the
system would have responded to that.
Any ideas from the guru's out there in usenet land?

The following 6 months should be spent doing upgrades and mods to
existing code. A few months of trying to decipher the intentions of
some long-departed prior programmer who thought that single character
variable names were a good idea and that comments were for beginners,
and the new programmer *might* just be ready to create new code.

You may have some annoying messages about samba,
just ignore the moronic messages by pressing on OK.
Then press on add.
The name should be lp
The spool directory should be /var/spool/lpd/lp
The printer device should be /dev/lp1 for the kernels 2.0.x
and /dev/lp0 for the kernels 2.2.x
You press on select to select your printer.
You should adjust for stair case effect, this means that it would send
a CR-LF to the printer instead of just a LF. You have to remember that
those printers are made for winblows.
You can enable the printer from there. I have noticed that if the
printer is off when the PC boots it doesn't initialize the driver.
Instead of crashing on a device that isn't online like Winblows
would it just ignores it. There is a function to enable it but
I don't remember, I go the lazy way and use printtool.
If it is not installed, look on the CD and install it , you can't
go without it.

I have the same card and had a hell of a time with it. First, you should
disable PnP (the documentation with the card should explain it easily). Next,
try reconfiguring the card with the included software. My original problem
was the IRQ. Linux seemed to like IRQ 11 better than 10 for me. That may work
as well. Oh, and be sure to disable PnP in the BIOS since you probably don't
need it.

How can you compile support, if you can't load? Have the same problem with

Actually it's more likely that internal modems will go away altogether.
USB modems are already starting to appear, and since they don't take up
a limited resource (either an internal slot or one of two RS232 serial
ports on most PCs) they're a better solution anyway.
And by the time these things become standard, Linux will have full
support for USB.

Subject: Checking Dual Processor Loads?
Date: Sun, 18 Apr 1999 20:21:20 -0700
I have two Xeon 400Mhz processors in my Linux RH5.2 server and would like
to know they are both installed and working properly without shutting down
and opening the box.
When I use processor load monitor utilities, such as with DocIt or KDE, I
just see one reading which I'm assuming is a combination of both
processors. Is there some way to gauge each processor or at least make sure
they're both functioning properly?
It also looks like my Linux configuration is for a i686 system/kernel.
Since I'm learning and didn't actually install the system myself, but
rather hired someone, I would like to confirm this is appropriate for the
dual Xeon processors.
Thanks,
DAN

1. Verify that it's not a winmodem. If it is, get another modem.
2. See if you can't set jumpers on the modem to force it to be a
specific COM port rather than PnP. If you can, do that.
3. If you can't, use isapnp. The first step is to go into Windows'
Control Panel and write down the IRQ and I/O address of the modem's COM
port. Having done that, reboot into linux and run
pnpdump > /etc/isapnp.conf
This will generate the /etc/isapnp.conf file. You'll then have to edit
this file and enable one set of I/O and IRQ settings for the modem's COM
port. You can then apply the settings by running
isapnp /etc/isapnp.conf
Remember that in Linux, COM1 == /dev/ttyS0, COM2 == /dev/ttyS1, etc. So
you can test your isapnp settings by doing someting like
echo atdt5551212 >> /dev/ttyS0
to see if you can talk to the modem.

Hi Steve,
DTE (Data Terminal Equipment, or "computer-to-modem") is not a modem's
bottleneck. The only way to use up the 115200bps DTE rate is to download
clear text (so that the modem would use 3-to-1 compression).
You would compress a huge text file before downloading it, right?

I have installed ftape version 4.03-pre2. with Linux kernel 2.2.5 and
RH 5.2 on my HP Kayak with a Ditto 2gb tape drive piggybacked on the
parallel port.
I have modules for ftape, zftape, and bpck-fdc. The kernel was NOT

all loading properly. But when I try to use any of the tools I get
"/dev/<n>qft0: Device not configured. I have run MAKEDEV.ftape and the
/devs all appear in the /dev directory. One thing I tried was to go to
/proc/parport/0/irq and change the irq to 7(it is normally set to
"none" at bootup), which is what Windows Device manager lists as the
irq for LPT1 . When I do this, the drive seems to be accessed, but the
OS goes into a loop and I have to force a quit. Any help would be
REALLY appreciated.
