Well your module arguments look good as long as they are right...mine is
0x140,0,1 though cuz my card is device zero on the scsi chain...with yer
problem of HD install rename rpms back to RPMS(u do know that whatever its
named to windows explorer will show it as Rpms, to really see go to a dos
prompt and do a dir on the directory above it, RedHat in this case) then go
to www.redhat.com and in the errata section are some new boot disks to fix
that bug with the HD install

Subject: Ultra2 Raid adapter question
Date: Sat, 08 May 1999 12:46:50 +0000
I'm considering purchasing an Ultra2 SCSI RAID adapter and have narrowed
my choices down to two:
1) AMI MegaRaid Express Plus Series 466 ~ $520
2) Mylex Acceleraid 250 ~ $420
There seems to be little difference between them and I'd like to know if
anyone has any experience with either of these units.

Works fine for me with PCMCIA 3.0.5 or 3.0.9 and RedHat 5.2. I did have to
put an exclude for interrupt 9 in the configure.opts file in the /etc/pcmcia
directory. Look at /procfs/interrrupts and /procfs/ioports to see if you might
have any conflicts. Check this against your Win98 configuration.

You don't want to use irq 9 for your NIC. It is used for redirection of the
irqs from 2nd interrupt controller to 1st. Use 5, 10 or 11. You probably
need to disable PnP and set the io and irq you want via the DOS based
software that comes with the card. Then you might want to add something
like the following to your /etc/conf.modules file.
options eth0 io=0x280 irq=11
alias eth0 3c905
Try it without the options line first.

Subject: Hayes ESP and terminal attributes trouble
Date: Sat, 08 May 1999 11:41:23 -0400
Hello,
I've got a Hayes ESP card with an ISDN TA hooked to it using diald to
automatically bring up a connection to my ISP. The first time diald
tries to dial-out, he complains about terminal attributes IO errors and
has to go through his time-out period. Any ideas?
I'm using v1.5 of the ESP driver with the module loaded on demand (but I
have problems either way).
My /etc/conf.modules file looks like this:
alias char-major-57 esp
alias char-major-58 esp
options esp irq=0,0,0,0,0,5,0,0 dma=1 divisor=0,0,0,0,0,4,0,0
This causes 384.k to correspond to 230.4k (the max the TA can handle)
which works quite nicely (except the first time).
Here's the exact messages from /var/log/messages:

Well, if you know how to configure, compile and install the kernel, then all
you need to do with the Tulip.c is replace the current one with the new one,
and recompile. Most likely don't even need to reconfigure. However, it sounds
like you may have a larger issure on your hands. Might be time to check with
your sysadmin, and make sure your network configuration is set up right.

These boards are under $100. I however understand that memory beyond 128M
is not cached (found that info in their FAQ).

Actually, I think that the device on sda should be your Jaz drive, if you don't
have a scsi hard drive. The Parport zip drive should be connected to par0, or lp0
or lp1, depending on your kernel version. You should double check that /dev/sda4
is your zip and not your jaz.

WP uses it's own print drivers and has it's own printer setup. If
haven't already done so you to setup a printer using RHs printool
utility.
