Hello Joel,
IBM is working on a modified Linux Distribution for the RS/6000.
If I am right your C10 has a PPC 604.

Cool! I didn't realize Drive Image would do all that. They didn't have a
demo available to download so I grabbed Ghost (from Symantec) instead.
Excellent product! Does exactly what I described above (except burning
directly to CDR). I guess I should have read those 5 million posts re Ghost

Subject: $mall, cheap firewall router
I'm trying to find a cheap machine to use for a firewall router in a DSL
installation in my cramped apartment.
I don't need the latest CPU or a big hard drive - just enough machine to
do the job. A 486 or 586 w/ 16 MB of RAM and a 500 MB hard drive would
work great. However, I need the case size to be as small as possible.
I had in mind something along the size of those "thin clients" you see
advertised in the IT magazines.
I initially considered the Corel Netwinder, but $1000 for the cheapest
model seems a bit high. A bare-bones PC would more than do the job, but
then I have to find room for another full-size case in my rapidly
shrinking space. If you want to get an idea of what I'm talking about,
take a look at:
http://www.rebel.com/products/servertech/serv-net.htm
Anybody know where I can find a cheap, small(ish) muffin-machine to do
the job?

Wow, that's a nifty program Bill!
One problem with my scenario is that I'm concerned abut my mount
points and lilo configuration after restoring the image to the new
drive. Am I assuming correctly, that this configuration will need to
be edited to point to the new SCSI hard drive ? (I have IDE right now)
I do have access to a cd-r, and can use my systems on board SCSI for
that
Or the FTP option sounds enticing, does the program support restore
from ftp site?
It can span to multiple cd's if the total system is > 650 mb?
thanks for your time!

Check out http://home.tampabay.com/philip1/overclock.html
there are some good overclocking links there also
also check out www.cpu-central.com
look for the Celeron OC FAQ
They recommend the Abit BH6 motherboard, which I found at
www.motherboard.com for $102
The current claim is about 60-75% success rate with the 300A OC to
450MHz...

I have an PCMCIA IDE HDD. Upon bootup, it is detected as hdl.
Unfortunately, my /dev/ dir shows up to hdh only. I got some advice to
use mknode to create hdl, but have no real idea on major and minor
numbers. When I try to mount the disk partitions, it says that hdl is
not recognised as a block device, and suggests to recompile a new kernel.
What am I doing wrong?
Any help appreciated

1. You can patch 2.2.9 to get ALI 15xx support.
See www.dyer.vanderbilt.edu/server/udma
2. Unfortunately this patch doesn't provide reliable UDMA.
I can only get DMA on my ASUS P5A-B.
3. I suspect that this patch code became part of the base 2.3.x.
If that is the case then folks will have the same problems as
those who patched 2.2.9. Just verifying that DMA is on is not
enough. You need to do a performance benchmark that exercises
both reads and writes. 'hdparm -t' is NOT a valid test since
it is read only.
The problem with the above patch is that when UDMA (not DMA) is
enabled any write operation results in errors and the driver gets
kicked into PIO mode. I've contacted the authors, but they have
not responded. If anyone can get reliable UDMA in 2.3.x I'd be
pleasantly surprised.

No it didn't work for you. 'hdparm -t' is not a valid test as it only
tests read operations. See what happens when you try a write operation.
What you'll see is errors in /var/log/messages. What you'll discover is
that the driver gets kicked into PIO mode on any write operation. I have
verified that DMA (not UDMA) does indeed work reliably. I've contacted
the authors about this UDMA problem, but have not received a response.
Until the UDMA problem gets fixed you're better off running DMA.

I'm running an ASUS P5A w/o audio mainboard, 128 mb pc-100 memory and an
AMD K6-2 400 MHz processor and it's rock-solid.
If you are considering buying ECC memory, be aware that the P5A, at the
time I purchased it, did not support ECC at 100 MHz bus speeds. If this
has not changed and you intend to use a P5A at 100 MHz FSB clock, buying
ECC memory for this setup would be a waste of money.
Dunno about the video card, check XFree86...

CustoMax will not let you change refresh rates. For this, use the
standard X configuration, provide it with the exact refresh rates,
and it will try to produce the best modeiles it can for you. Of
course, it may turn yout that they will require screen adjustmanets,
and then you'll be back here again...
Alternatively, you can take the generic modelines from e.g., Linux
Mandrake 6.0 XF86Config file. They are listed in such an order, that
if you include them in a working XF86Config, the best refresh rates
will be chosen on X startup.

You can download an X-server for the TNT & TNT2 (and some more RIVA's)
at www.nvidia.com

Configure your kernel for foreign partition format support (Mac
partitions,
of course) and either use hfsutils or the kernel HFS filesystem support.

Hi all!
Does anyone know what the following mean:
Jun 17 16:04:16 cujo kernel: hda: dma_intr: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComple\
te Error }
Jun 17 16:04:16 cujo kernel: hda: dma_intr: error=0x40 { UncorrectableError }, \
LBAsect=23203825, sector=6801398
I was writting a CDR and it stopped suddenly with this message in the
/var/log/messages repeated hundreds of times for different sectors.
I moved the audio tracks to an other disk and the message was repeated again
during the trasfer. I suceeded to move them though and write them succesfully.
The hda drive (which is supossed to have the problem) is a brand new
WD Caviar AC313000R 13GB.
No other problem has been noticed so far.
Any hint welcome
thanks
Nektarios

Working with Linux is *much* more difficult than working with Windows for
an install. For one thing, Windows plug and play (while it's hardly
stellar) is much further along than Linux, so you don't have to manually
configure as much hardware. Secondly, in a Windows environment, you don't
have to worry about mounting and unmounting. Your drives are just
there. Thirdly, hardware support for Linux is way behind that for
Windows. Couple this with the fact that people buy hardware thinking
it'll be easy to set up, only to find when they switch to Linux that it's
designed for Windows. Linux requires a great deal more initial planning
before you set it up, whereas most of the problems with Windows happen
*after* you install it.
