The simplist test with the fewest hardware requirements would be
"dd if=/dev/cdrom of=/dev/null" (replace /dev/cdrom with /dev/scd0, or
whatever your CDRom shows up as). This would pound it about as hard
as it can be pounded, and the kernel should report glaring read errors
and such.
If you are looking for information on data integrity, you can use the
"count" and "skip" arguments to dd (see man dd) to create images of
different parts of the CD onto the hard drive. Do this twice, to two
sepeerate disk files, and compare the results with cmp of diff (man cmp,
man diff).
I wrote a stream capture to CD-RW package (look for backburner at
www.freshmeat.net) that includes as one of it's components a standalone
perl script named bbverify that compares a disk image to the raw
contents of a CDROM. You could use dd to create a disk file copy of the
raw contents of a particular CDRom, then keep calling bbverify to
compare the CDRom to the disk image. That will pound the heck out of
the CDRom as well.

Actually, I've got to disagree with assessing the AMI bios as less
flexible than the Award bios. Admittedly, I get annoyed with the cutesy
win3.1esque interface of the AMI Bios but it has as much if not more
flexibility than the Award Bios.
Of course, YMMV as motherboard manufacturers alter the bios to allow or
disallow functions in both Award and AMI bioses(sp?) as they see fit.

I draw the conclusion that you don't have read-only mode turned on at all
or have it set not to prompt for experimental code... I downloaded 2.2.7
today, and R/W mode is definitely there (marked as DANGEROUS).

"aha152x=0x340,11,7" looks right (assuming your card is strapped for IO
port 0x340 and IRQ 11), try just using that. I have no idea what
"tmc8xx=0x340,11" is supposed to be or do, but I don't think it belongs
there.
My experience is with an adaptec AHA1510, and it will never work with
the autoprobe either.

If you are still dual booting, you can double check the IO port and IRQ
in use here.

In addition I have purchased an UNLIMITED USER VERSION of Volano Chat

This machine has tons of proprietary TCL programming that is currently

The machine is less than a year old and is still under warranty.

Hi,
it's impossible for me to run Linux on an ACT Motherboard (5ITXA Rev.C)
with i430TX-Chip-Set and an i P200 MMX.
After booting with LILO the kernel crashes after a few seconds and starts
booting again.
The kernel-messsages go to fast, but I can see it is somewhere after
"Checking 'hlt' instruction"
Neither the 2.2.7 on my HD nor a S.u.S.E 2.0.30-Kernel on a bootdisk is
working. I put the harddrive into a K5 machine... there it boots without
any problems.
Does anybody know a solution? Which BIOS-Settings can be responsible for
that?
I really do appreciate any help...

It's a 133 MHz pentium and the board can take a 200 MHz chip. The only
manufacturer which provides a 200 MHz pentium chip is the
IDT C6 Winchip 200Mhz MMX S7
or
IDT Winchip 2 200Mhz With 3D-Now!
What is the difference between these two and does 3D-Now! make any

The tool for doing this will be cdrecord. Look for it on
www.freshmeat.net and follow the links to the homepage. The way IDE
devices are used is with SCSI emulation, which (as of red hat 5.2
anyway) required a kernal rebuild. It works great with my Philips CDRW,
and suspect it works with any moderatly modern CDRW drive.
When you get the drive, also look for my backburner package on
freshmeat. It works with cdrecord and allows you to back up and restore
using your CDRW, either file system images or even bit for bit images of
the drive, in a compressed format. Pretty handy, if I do say so
myself. Nothing makes a Linux developer braver then a full backup on
CD-Rom that can be recovered in about an hour.

I am not familiar with the details of either drive. Check the specs for
the amount of cache on the drive, it can make all the difference between
a good burn and an extra coaster...

Pony up the $50+ for Partition Magic 4.0. It will allow you to resize your
partitions without
data loss. You'll want to leave a good portion of you HD unpartitioned, and let
RedHat create
the linux partitions for you during the install process.
Buy the RH5.2 CD from www.cheapbytes.com (I don't work for 'em, I just use 'em!)
Cheapbytes
sells the distribution for $1.99 plus shipping.
Their CD will install from directly from the cdrom drive. Shoot, go ahead and get
RH 6.0
while you're at it.

Subject: How to low-level format a SCSI
Date: Tue, 11 May 1999 10:42:11 -0500
How can I low level format a SCSI drive on my remote Linux system?
I don't want to have to physically go to it to do so (want to do it through
telnet). I think the SCSI BIOS has a format utility, but I would like a
Linux program to do it. Can't access the SCSI BIOS from here.
The drive doesn't have any useful files on it right now... I would just like
to low-level format it and then set it up as a backup drive.
(Please send your reply to my email, too. Thanks!)
Thanks,
Albert
