For best EIDE performance start with this model:
master/
type /dev/hd ide slave
=============== ======= ===== =====
boot disk hda ide0 M
first CD hdb ide0 S
zip hdc ide1 M
second CD hdd ide1 S
second disk hde ide2 M
third disk hdg ide3 M
fourth disk hdf ide2 S
fifth disk hdh ide3 S
Device/mount relationships are managed in /etc/fstab.
Data transfers between devices on the same ideN are slow,
between devices on different ideN are fast.
You should probably start by removing the promise and
putting ide0/1 in order.

Hi,
Has anyone installed Linux on a Mitac 5033??....I'm getting one in a few
days and I am going to keep it for Linux.
I am especially curious about getting the touch-pad mouse to work.
Any help would be appreciated.
Mike

Subject: Spontaneous REBOOT during install of RH6.0
Date: Sat, 12 Jun 1999 00:32:12 +0200
Hi
For the last 3 days i tried to install RH6.0 on my computer.
But eachtime when i have selected all packages and it starts
it's copying the packages it SPONTANEOUSLY REBOOTS after about 10 sec.
It never finishes the installation. First I thought it might be
the cdrom, so I did a Harddisk install, but the problem remained!
Does anyone have a clue why this happens or how i can prevent it?
My windows 98 runs very stable on this box, so it can not be a intrinsic
hardware fault.
I will try to give a concise destription of my box:
Celeron 300A clocked at 450 CPU
ABIT BX6 Motherboard
100Mhz 64mb RAM
12.7 GB Quantum Fireball EX Harddisk
Hercules Dynamite TNT videocard
Soundblaster live value
Livevideo Flyvideo '98 tvcard
Aopen 40x Cdrom player
I know my box is quite full, but that should not warrant this kind of
behaviour!
Thanx for any help u can give me
Grtz
Bjorn
P.S. Please send a rely to my email adress

Subject: Phoenix Maxi Gamer X server...
Date: Sat, 12 Jun 1999 16:30:12 -0400
Hi everyone...
I recently installed RH onto a friends machine, but he has an oddball
video card (wanted the best, didn't want to pay for it)! It's called the
Phoenix Maxi Gamer...it is based on the 3dfx banshee chipset (128 bit I
believe)...the manual docs are very weak...
I got it running on a vga16 X server (looks awful...if you remember)...the
SVGA server won't run properly on it either....is there an alternate X
server that will be more compatible with this card?
If so, we would both apprecitate it...
Thanks

Subject: Help! Where is cardinfo?
Date: Sat, 12 Jun 1999 20:33:14 GMT
I'm trying to get a Linksys Combo PCMCIA EthernetCard working in my
Toshiba 2535 Satellite laptop. When I installed RH 6.0, I told it to
install networking. However, I cannot seem to get the card working, even
though it is listed as being supported.
When I boot, it seems to know that networking is installed. I can find
cardmgr and cardctl, but I cannot find cardinfo. It isn't with the
others in /sbin. My PCMCIA modem works, so PCMCIA must be installed.
I've searched for cardinfo but cannot find it. There is a manpage for
it.
Also, there seems to be a problem with NFS. When I boot, it takes more
than 5 minutes because it seems to be looking to connect or register
NFS. I get an error 101 and repeated messages about RCP (or similar).
How can I turn NFS off?
I'm not sure what else to do. I would appreciate any information or
guidance.

Subject: which diamond video card works well under linux?
Date: Fri, 11 Jun 1999 21:30:38 GMT
Hi, guys,
I would like to get some helpful suggestion from you.
I want to buy a Diamond video card for my Redhat 5.2 Linux. But I have
no idea what kind of Diamond cards works well under Linux OS. It seems
that Linux supports old video card very well but doesn't support new
2D/3D video card well. I bought a S3 64 Virge GX card a month ago. It
behaves crazy on my Linux box.
Any Suggestions will be very appreciated. Thanks,
Edward Chen

I finally ended up using the driver from Open Sound Systems:
http://www.opensound.com
It will cost a little (I paid $20US) for the driver but I didn't have
any trouble getting it to run.
I spent several days trying to get the sound modules to work with 2.2.9
kernel but never had any success. I even followed the faq (see
/usr/src/linux/Documentation/sound/CMI8330 in the source files and
http://home.gelrevision.nl/~h.wolter/CMI8330_Mini_HOWTO.txt) and put
several requests to this newsgroup, but no joy. The sound modules
worked fine with 2.0.36 kernel.
Now I can play CD's and listen to realplayer just fine.

Subject: RAID options
Date: Fri, 11 Jun 1999 14:59:03 -0700
Hi, I'm building a web server that will be running redhat 6.0. I want to run
RAID 1 (mirroring) across 2 drives. I am considering 2 options:
1. use the software raid support present in the kernel.
2. buy a Mylex AcceleRAID 150
questions:
1. how much CPU overhead is eaten up by the software approach? Would a single
PII-400 be sufficient for handling this extra raid work under heavy conditions?
2. I know that there is a driver for the AcceleRAID 150, but according to the
redhat hardware compatibility list, "Currently you cannot install Red Hat
Linux's root partition onto a raid device." Does this mean that I would need a
third drive to hold my root partition? Or would I simply install the root
partition on one of my 2 RAID'd drives and hope that the drive I choose is the
good one?
3. can I attach other SCSI devices to the AcceleRAID card (eg a tape drive), or
is it only for raid drives.
thanks for any wisdom,
Stewart

I solved this problem (inability to boot from harddrive, but ok with floppy boot disk)

Subject: Strange sound card question
Date: Sat, 12 Jun 1999 14:09:37 -0700
Something puzzling me about my sound card installation. I have a
CMI8330/C3D sound chip on the motherboard. It seems to have installed
fine, just like a standard PNP sound card, after reading the appropriate
docs and tweaking the /etc/isapnp.conf file. Now, wav and mp3 files play
fine, and even the RealAudio G2 player works all right. The only problem
is, 'au' files play scratchy and somewhat broken up.
I was testing the .au files /usr/lib/games/xboing/sounds and
/usr/lib/games/xpat/audio.
Note that when I tested the same .au files on another machine with an ALS-007
PNP card, they played clear as a bell.
What's going on here?

You will need the MemBase parameter set in XF86Config. It is
probably commented out at the moment.
