Bert,
You have to specify a hostname for your linux-box, other than localhost!
Put an entry in your /etc/hosts with a selfchosen hostname and IP adress
(e.g. in the private class C networks ip range 192.168.0.x; for an
explanation of the private addresses see the net-3-howto)
I had the same error when I installed RedHat 5.2 and this worked for me.

Subject: Second Channel on Adaptec 3940
Date: Fri, 07 May 1999 12:09:14 GMT
Does anybody have experiences with that Problem ?
I'm trying to use an Adaptec 3940AU Board in an ASUS P/I-TP4XE
Mainboard.
During the bootup everything seems to work fine : the 2 Channels are displayed
in Adaptec�s SCSI-Select-Tool and every Device attached to it.
Using the 3940 under Windoze works too.
Booting from a SCSI-CDRom attached to Channel A or B works also.
Linux ( Kernel 2.0.36 ) finds only one Channel.
In /proc/pci there are two Devices for the 3940 mentioned, but Channel B
is not working.
I installed the 3940 in 2 other Mainboards ( a Slot 1 Board and an even older
Socket7 Board ), and Linux could deal with it ( 2 SCSI Channels detected ),
so i assume that it must be a Problem with the ASUS-Board.
Mainboard-Bios is updated.
Does anyone have an idea ?
Thanks,
C.Mund

1. read /usr/src/linux/Documentation/parport.txt
2. compile kernel with CONFIG_PARPORT=y and CONFIG_PARPORT_PC=y
3. add append="parport=auto" to /etc/lilo.conf
4. (run /sbin/lilo) ;-)
5. make sure /etc/printcap entry refers to /dev/lp0 and not /dev/lp1 (changed).
6. after rebooting, check dmesg to see if your printer was detected ("parport0:
PC-style at 0x378 [SPP,PS2]. parport0: no IEEE-1284 device present. lp0: using
parport0 (polling).") and check /proc/parport/0/* to see if it is still
recognized.

I'd probably try the obvious --- enable ecc in your cmos setup ---- if you
can boot after doing so, then you've got ecc memory, otherwise, you don't
(actually, you should fail the POST memory test if you tell the system
you're using ecc ram and don't actually have it installed). Visually, you
should be able to tell by the fact that ecc ram is 72 bits wide, vs 64 bits
for non-ecc.

I decided that one of the better ways to understand programming is to take

for my Diamond S70 sound card. So I bought the Linux Device Drivers book
from O'Reilly. I have begun to read it. I wanted to what the general
process is in creating a device driver? What technical information do I
need and how best to receive it?
I have begun to read up on my sound card (i.e. chipset, etc.) so I have
started. I am looking for some help from people who have written sound card
drivers for their own machines. Not requesting a hand out just some help so
I can contribute to Linux.

The only thing I am unsure of is the video card. However, perhaps you can
get them to give you a better price if they don't bundle Windows 98 with

I would guess a severe lack of memory. You need to have a good amount of
usable memory. Now, it is possible that you have, say 64MB, but only 8 is
getting recognized. What you want to do is type "free" on a command line
and see what the total memory is (minus about 2 MB for the kernel) If it
isn't recognizing all of your memory, you might need to append a command to
your kernel in the lilo.conf file, something like:
append "mem=64M"

Think of it this way. Software vendors write software that is "tied" to the
Windows OS--despite the fact that changes in Windows may eventually render it
obsolete. It's the same thing with hardware. In fact, to a substantial
extent, an inkjet printer increasingly *is* a mostly a piece of Windows
software (that is to say, in the drivers that do more and more of the
work--and presumeably consume more and more of the vendors' R&D budget). The
same is, of course, true of Winmodems.
All of this is, no doubt, a potential obstacle to the success of Linux and you
may consider it 'dismayingly evil', but for the printer and modem
manufacturers it's nothing short of necessity. They make their sales by
producing the most bang-for-the-buck *now*. Whether or not, fifteen years
from now, somebody could, theoretically, pull the printer out a basement and
get it to work with the OS of 2014 is really not going to help them make any
sales in 1999.

Check your lilo.conf and add a line like this:
append "mem=96M"
Heck, it is possible there is a line in there already telling it that there
is only 64 MB... Just check it.. after changing, be sure to re-run lilo.
The Linux kernel isn't the best about always detecting the proper memory
size.

I'd stay away from Samsung hard drives (and many other things as

When printers are selling in the $100-$200 range, any extra cost for a fancy
CPU is hard to justify. But I believe these "windows-only" printers really
are just expecting raster images (and downloaded font images) and, therefore,
should work OK with Linux.
As for video cards -- Intel would like nothing better than to get to that
point where the CPU *is* handling the much of the graphics processing (as it
is the DSP operations in 'software' modems). And, BTW, there are also cheap
sound cards that implement wave tables in software.

Subject: Canon BJC-50 printer
Date: Fri, 07 May 1999 02:05:00 +0200
According to SuSE and other, my portable printer Canon BJC-50 is still
unsupported. Experience teaches that indeed it does not work, except as
straight ascii printer.
Anyone any clues on how to set it up?
Best regards,
Marc Molenaar

So... Is this just another kernel patch that I can copy to my /usr/src/linux
directory, and install with the patch command? Or is there something more
complex that I need to do in order to be able to access all those CD-ROMs?
Thanks,
