In trying to compile the kernel I get a signal11 very fast and one a sig6
Anybody has an idea?

I am having trouble determining the exact brand, but I purchased a box last
weekend with an M598 motherboard, Socket 7 with an AMD 350 CPU. The
onboard video is an SiS 530 chipset. It is not a happy puppy under X. The
common servers currently being distributed (I have Red Hat 5.2) do not
support it. There is a server available from SusE that is supposed to work
with tweaking, but I have not had an opportunity to try it yet.

The only way I have been able to boot from the LS-120 is with Syslinux.

I am trying to install Red Hat 5.2 onto a COMPAQ 6150 Pentium Pro.
Auto Probe finds the CD-ROM and SCSI hard drive just fine. Once the
packages begin to copy to the HD the systems freezes and returns the
following error message:
scsi_free: Trying to free unused memory in swapper task - not syncing
The install program uses the scsi driver for the adapter: AM53C974.
Any help with a fix or work-around would be greatly appreciated.

You don't really need PM to do that. It would probably make it prettier
though. At home we were triple booting Linux/Win95/NT. Lilo was on the MBR
and would boot Linux or "DOS". Selecting DOS would then take you into the
NT bootloader, where you can select between win95 and NT. Yeah, PM
probably makes this a lit simpler and nicer.
One note of interest: NT can't read FAT32 (yet?) and Win 9x can't read
NTFS, but Linux can read them all! :)
Oh yes, we're merely amatuers...

Subject: Voodoo 3 and CD-ROM
Date: Sat, 05 Jun 1999 13:46:32 GMT
Hi Folks,
I have two questions I was hoping someone could help me with.
(I'm using gnome and RedHat 6.0)
1) I have a Voodoo 3 card. I got the appropiate XFree server from
linux3d.org, and installed it. When I was running Xconfigurator when
it came to the section when it tried to probe the card to find out
the clock chip etc it reported that an error had occured (but didn't
say what the error was). I continued and got the server to run.
But it doesn't look great. The graphics look kinda grainy. I was
wondering could someone (who also has a Voodoo3) send me their
xf86Config file ?
2) My other problem is with the cd player in gnome (tcd 1.0.1). When
I play cd's they appear to run at double speed. The display on the
player goes up in two second increments. The cd drive is a HP CDR-7200
Series.
If anyone has any suggestions I would be very grateful to hear them.
Simon.
P.S If possible cc me on your reply.

Older cards (rev A02.XX) at least won't allow you to bind to port 9100
and use
an active IPX connection at the same time. So turn off IPX support.

The standard VGA driver only gives you 16 colors, and a very crappy
resolution... you can't really get anything done in X with this driver...
your problem is that XFree86 doesn't yet ship with 3DFX drivers because
technically, the 3DFX drivers are alpha-stage releases, but 3DFX drivers
DO exist... check out http://glide.xxedgexx.com... look under the hardware
section, and you should be able to find the right drivers for your 3dFX
card (you didn't specify whether it was a Voodoo, Voodoo2, Voodoo Rush,
Banshee, Voodoo3 or whatall, so I hope you know what your card is, or
you're not gonna know what drivers to get!) Anyhoo, even though the
drivers are alpha-stage, the Voodoo3 drivers work perfectly with my
Voodoo3 card, so, you'll probably want to give em a shot...
happy hunting

Yep, an AWE64-ISA should work fine under 6.0 (mine works fine under 5.2, so
I would venture to guess it'll work under 6.0)
try running sndconfig to set up your soundcard... if it doesn't work right

It will work on FreeBSD >= 3.0, preferably uner 4.0-current with the new
ata driver. You will have to do the RAID by software though (so does the
Fattrack under winslows), use cdd or vinum for that.
I know of at least a handfull of such installations that "just works".

Subject: 10.2 GB IDE disk partition question
Date: 05 Jun 1999 13:21:55 -0400
Hi, I have a question about my 10.2GB quantum fireball IDE harddisk.
I purchased it recently and wanted to use it soly for Linux. I only
partitioned it into a swap partiton of 100MB and a native Linux partition
for the rest, the following is the partition table:
Disk /dev/hdd: 16 heads, 63 sectors, 19885 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 1008 * 512 bytes
Device Boot Begin Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hdd1 1 1 204 102784+ 82 Linux swap
/dev/hdd2 205 205 19885 9919224 83 Linux native
The space for the Linux partition /dev/hdd2 is around 9.9GB
However, after I used mkfs.ext2 to make the filesystem, looking at the
following df result:
Filesystem 1024-blocks Used Available Capacity Mounted on
/dev/hda3 959000 770761 137033 85% /
/dev/hda4 1119837 656152 405826 62% /mnt
/dev/hdb3 2307103 8008 2179813 0% /opt
/dev/hdd2 9559556 2738249 6325346 30% /mnt2
/dev/hda1 1535872 1266496 269376 82% /dosc
/dev/hdb1 2562112 912512 1649600 36% /dosd
/dev/hdd only has ~9.5GB space, and Used (2738249) + Available (6325346)
is even less (~9.0GB), I suppose that is because the filesystem needs some extra
space to store the file headers and other infos etc., but why does the
filesystem only show up for 9.5GB, where did the other 400MB (9.9GB -9.5GB)
go? Is it normal? Thanks in advance.

Gunther,
Use the XF86_SVGA driver supplied with Redhat 6.0, this will autodetect your
STB card (nVidia TNT chipset) and it WILL work, and very well too.
Also you can get over to nVidia's website (www.nvidia.com) and download their
new official drivers for Linux/XFree86 and they are a lot faster and also have
3D support. I'd supply the link but I have lost it somehow, sorry.

Make the fourth partition a big "extended" partition, and then you can fi=
ll it
up with several "logical" partitions.

Hi Raymond,
is it an external modem connected to COM1? That port
is supposed to use IRQ 4, not IRQ 3 (which is for COM2=/dev/ttyS1).
You might also try to use setserial like this:
setserial -b /dev/ttyS0 auto_irq skip_test autoconfig session_lockout
To add/drop options, see the man page.
If you have an _internal_ modem configured with jumpers to react
to COM1, IRQ3... again, it is better to use standard COM1-IRQ4,
although this is up to you.
If you experience the error message configuring an internal modem and if
you are sure it is jumper-configured the same way as you tell setserial,
this might mean you've got a winmodem...
Look up http://www.o2.net/~gromitkc/winmodem.html
Best,
a.
