I would greatly appreciate hearing from anyone who has had experience with
this card. Especially if you have been able to get it to work!
I am attempting to install Redhat 5.2 on a system with a DTC3520A scsi card, a
scsi HD and scsi CDROM. According to RH and DTC, the aha152x driver modules
are supposed to work, at least when the settings are specified. I am putting
in:
0x340,11,7
I get a message saying that the scsi bus is being scanned, and everything
freezes.
BTW, I have also tried installing COL 1.0 with this setup. LISA cannot
install the aha152x module. No freeze though.

I've been having similar "fun" with a brand new P2B-S board. I've
updated the motherboard bios to 1009 (released 2 weeks ago). That
seems to help a little though this chipset seems to misbehave badly
when non-disk SCSI devices are attached. Try removing the CD and
see if it becomes happier. Mine would lock up as soon as I plugged
a SCSI tape drive or sometimes boot just fine, but refuse to do
anything useful with the tape drive. Disabling the onboard
SCSI controller and plugging in a Mylex BT-950 solved the problem, but
I'm hoping this is just a temporary fix. Seems a shame to "waste"
the integrated controller.

It one of two things;
1) iso9660 is complied as a module and kernel is not auto loading the
module
2) iso9660 is not compiled into the generic kernel provided with install
Either way, best thing to do after an install is to recompile the kernel.
A side note if you are going to recompile you might as well get the newest
kernel and comple it.

You get that because the RealPlayer for Linux is version 5.0 and is
incompatible with the newer G2 compression schemes. It will play old format
RealAudio/Video, but most big sites have switched (CNN, FoxNews,
Broadcast.com) Hopefully, RealNetworks will port the G2 over for us.

Subject: Linux SMP resources
Date: 24 May 1999 17:47:43 GMT
Hallo all,
I'm going to build a nice linux smp server and need some information
regarding performance, hardware compatibility and such things.
I used various search engines but all I found was pretty much out of
date and not of much use.
Three days ago I subscribed to the linux-smp mailing list but did not
receive any mails, is the list dead ???
I'm looking for the following:
- Stability with recent kernels (2.2.x)
- Performance comparison UP vs. SMP
- Known limitations (i.e 'over-scheduling')
- Benchmark results for apache, nfs, samba, ...
I'm very interested in performance reports.
I would also appreciate comments about software RAID, because
in my expirience it's better to have seperate disks for i.e. logging,
web caching, etc than to use RAID.
I _don't_ need hardware info, because my system configuration will be:
- ASUS P2B-DS
- 256 MB RAM
- Dual Pentium III / 450 MHz
- 2xIBM DDRS 4.5 GB
- 1xIBM DDRS 9.1 GB
- 3Com 3c905 100MBit network
The machine will (might) run:
- Mail (sendmail)
- DNS
- Web caching (squid)
- Apache
- Samba
- CVS server
- Fast software builds ;)
If someone could send me useful links, references to news-postings or
things like that I would really appreciate it.
Thanks,
Patrick

I think that the best that can be done is to restrain programs as to
what they can do. To specify exactly what you want the program to do,
and disallowing it from doing anything else, is affectively the same
thing as writing the program. It is unfortunate but true that once we
allow programs to do something useful, we allow them to do something
harmful.

Safer, perhaps. Of course, it always depends what level of privilege.
I envisage systems where programs have much finer-grained levels of
privilege, and that privilege would even vary within programs - a
database program could use a component and decide how much to trust it,
possibly denying it same privileges as the rest of the program, even
while accessing it in-process. I don't know if that is available with
Javabeans yet.

Depends how trusting you are, and how thoroughly the code has been
tested. There is always the possibility of some unforeseen problem
arising. I would prefer to have nothing running in kernel mode but a
simple scheduler.

Unfortunately C++ fans tend to prefer less restrained environments for
efficiency purposes. I agree that this will be a prerequisite for
systems with hugely increased reliability.

Subject: Modem and Sound
Date: Mon, 24 May 1999 13:01:46 GMT
Hi!
I just installed Red Hat 6.0 on my new system. Everything
installed happily, except for the modem and soundcard.
After chatting with a friend, I found that I needed to
disable one of the internal serial ports to have the
modem configure as com1 or com2. com1 was left at 03F8
IRQ4. The modem became 02F8 IRQ3, presumably on com2.
I started up minicom and everything worked! Since then,
I've used sndconfig to setup the sound card, which
configured fine, i.e. I could hear the samples. Now,
however, every time I start minicom, I get
minicom: Cannot open /dev/modem: No such device
/dev/modem is linked to /dev/ttyS1. This happens when
/dev/modem is linked to /dev/cua1 as well, which used to
work also.
I don't know if the soundcard config has any interference
problems with the modem, but it's the only major change
in my config.
Can someone shed some insight?
The modem is a USR Sportster 56K FAX ISA ( non-Winmodem )
and the soundcard is a SoundBlaster ViBRA 16X PnP ISA.
Each card has worked, but the modem part is currently not
happy.
Thanks!

My system has become unstable. The problem is that after

I assume you want pmcia because your requirements call for a laptop.
One approach might be to get a laptop with SCSI, or a pmcia based SCSI
adapter (if such a critter exists and is supported by Linux). Then you
just need to choose an appropriately portable SCSI based data
acquisition system (of which there are likely many). Definately a
kludge, but it might be an option.
I expect you will also have trouble getting support software or software
source to actually drive the acquisition hardware on the other end of
the pmcia card under Linux (for non-trivial hardware). This will be
likely be an even bigger problem.
Definately a place where some open source software/hardware work could
be done and some reference platforms could be developed. Gnu-Acq
anyone? It has a nice ring to it...

as far as I recall, the questions was, how to get the Matrox-DFP-addon
to run under Linux. He used the XF86_FBDev-Server, but tried modelines,
which negated the effect that using FB has: to let the BIOS do card
initialization.
As of your question: The only Videocard supporting digital LCD's under
Linux is the ATI Xpert LCD (in conjunction w/ the patched 3.3.3
Mach64-Server downloadable from
http://www.fachschaften.uni-bielefeld.de). It features a DFP port only,
so you cannot connect your P&D plug directly to it. Perhaps there is
someone out there who knows if there are adaptors available, because the
underlying electrical spec's of both standards are almost identical.
