My K6 233 is running on an FIC PA-2007 (VIA based chipset) which has been
100% reliable since the day I built it. I do not, however, attempt to use
the UDMA mode knowing the problems it has caused for others.

Date: Sun, 20 Jun 1999 11:05:21 -0400
Hi,
I have genuine SB16 Value from Creative, configured perfectly on my
2.2.9 (same on 2.2.5, 2.2.7) kernel with SuSE 6.1 and ati all in wonder
Pro rage II. xatitv Gatos and itk.
My sound card run perfectly on music cd, mp3 etc. but not on xatitv. I
have sound in xatitv only if I boot win98 BEFORE Linux...
Kernel compiled with sound and SB16 or kernel compiled with sound
modules OSS 3.8.1z = same results, I have sound everywhere but not in
xatitv/gatos.
So, anybody know if gatos/xatitv support 2.2.. kernels with glibc2 or if
the problem come from there or what ?
Thanks for your help

well, yes and no. some drives do automagically remap bad sectors, but the
older ones rarely do. 2 points to beware:
- using mkfs -c only does a readonly test, which won't find all errors.
- if you find one or two bad sectors, there's a pretty good chance more

the latter - mke2fs doesn't look at the current badblocks information.

badblocks. it can do a read-only test. note that you probably want to do
it on an umounted partition, just to be safe. also note that badblocks
will do a full-blown read/write test for you, and can save the information
in a file suitable for passing to mke2fs.

It doesn't sound like a hardware problem. I think you DO need to
get rid of some the daemons you don't need (httpd, sendmail,
etc). I've worked on OS/2, Slackware, RH 5.2 & 6.0, Caldera
OLLite 1.3, NT4, W95 & W98 and have seen the same loss of memory
on ALL of them. W95 & W98 seem to be the worst of the bunch -
they lost memory the fastest. My opinion is that memory resource
loss is a fact of life on GUI OSs like the ones I mentioned. I
don't know if I'd call it a memory leak per say as much as I'd
say it has to do with swapping memory pages to disk, logging (in
linux & NT), etc.

On the model 70 I get for example

Would Linux recognize if it was the defective one?
the other ones are currently not online, so I don't have their boot

I belive so. Still 57600 (what you proboably mean) is the upper limit?
115200 won't do with this chip?

I think the main source of instability in general is software anyway
(assuming you have reasonable hardware).
I think the 80 is somewhat loder than the others. Noise is an issue in
this case.

What floppy device are you using? I've used the 1.2MB
5-1/4" drive on one of my machines as 360k (double density),
720k (quad density) and 1.2MB (high density) just by

If it's got 4 meg memory then you'll be ok, any less makes life very hard.
About 100 meg disk drive is a sensible minimum: basic install,
compiler and docs. 50 meg would do at a pinch, my record is 30 ISTR.
(These figures based on Slackware 3.4)
Go for an older distribution, especially Slackware which tends to be
smaller than Redhat etc. Don't be afraid to re-install lots of times
until you get it right, preferably using nfs install from one of your
other machines (although the basics of slackware are designed to be
installed from floppies).
If you can get more memory than 4 meg then it _will_ feel faster.
For performance tuning, compile a kernel for it, possibly also recompile
any processor-intensive programs with 386 optimisation.

Can't comment on the Okis or Lexmarks. However, just about any HP
Laserjet will work with Linux including the inexpensive HP LJ 1100 ($399
here in the States).
I use a Brother HL-1040 ($299) that works fine at 300 dpi. The printer
is capable of 600 dpi but Ghostscript won't drive it at that resolution.
There's an online database of printers and how/if they work with Linux.
It's at

invaluable resource.

Subject: Conflict between modem and soundcard on RH6
Crossposted-To: comp.os.linux.help,comp.os.linux.misc
Date: 20 Jun 99 15:07:29 GMT
I'm having trouble getting my modem and soundcard to both run on my Redhat
6 system. The modem is a USR Sportster Voice 33.6 PnP Fax Internal ISA
modem. The sound card is a Creative Sound Blaster 16 PnP. Here's the
history: I had the modem running and was able to connect to my ISP with
PPP. Then I ran sndconfig and set up my soundcard which ran fine. Now if
I go to use my modem, either for pppd, minicom, or anything else I get a
modem busy error even after a reboot. So I remove
/etc/sysconfig/soundcard, /etc/isapnp.conf, and restore my old
/etc/conf.modules (these are the files created/modified by sndconfig),
reboot and bingo the modem works again. The modem (ttyS1) is set to IRQ 3
and the soundcard is IRQ 5 so I don't know why there's a conflict. My
/proc/ioports before the soundcard looks like:
0000-001f : dma1
0020-003f : pic1
0040-005f : timer
0060-006f : keyboard
0070-007f : rtc
0080-008f : dma page reg
00a0-00bf : pic2
00c0-00df : dma2
00f0-00ff : fpu
0170-0177 : ide1
01f0-01f7 : ide0
02f8-02ff : serial(auto)
0376-0376 : ide1
03c0-03df : vga+
03f6-03f6 : ide0
03f8-03ff : serial(auto)
ffa0-ffa7 : ide0
ffa8-ffaf : ide1
After setting up the soundcard, I also get the following entries:
0220-022f : soundblaster
0330-0333 : MPU-401 UART
0388-038b : Yamaha OPL3
Under Win95, where they happily coexist, the modem is also IRQ 3 and the
soundcard is also IRQ 5 with IO ports of 0220-022f, 0330-0331, and
0388-038b. Notice that the second io port is slightly different under
Linux (0330-0333). Could this be the problem? I really want to be able to
use both simultaneously. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Rich

Date: Sun, 20 Jun 1999 17:57:18 GMT
Hi all. I've been using linux for a while now(apparently not long
enough), and recently for my 95 partition added a voodoo 3 2000 PCI
card. The voodoo works aok in win95, though I want to continue to use
my ATI Mach64 video card under linux, as it's already setup and
using/configured for x. The problem I've run in to is this: with
primary monitor plugged in to the Voodoo3 card's connector, and my
secondary monitor is plugged in to the Mach64 by way of the
mamaboard's video.(ati chip is on-board) What I get in linux (suse) is
this: Linux is using/reckognizing the
Voodoo3 card, which is fine, but I guess I'm interested in the what
for me is a challenge of getting suse to use the "other" card, the
Mach64 card. My question is: how do I configure suse to use the Mach64
card and monitor, not the Voodoo3?
I'm here today posting to admit that I'm a little confused about what
I need to do in order to have suse continue using the Mach64 card. I
would imagine it it's a simple conf file with the appropriatte /dev
link, but maybe not...?
Can anyone point me in the direction of some documentation I should be
reading?
(I looked over the HOW-TO and Mini-How-To's and can't find a
two-monitor-two-video-card how-to....I'm conducting searches at suse,

GOD DAMN! Are you telling us you have to be a bloody
MCSE to deal with Windows problems. Arguement's done
right there...
Windows cabal conceeds.

The crux of my argument against Windows for the novice
has always been that it's really no less complex for
that class of user than anything else that has to deal
with the kludge klone underneath.
Want easy? Just buy that to begin with.

Ben,
I had no problem running the 503+ at 100 MHz with EDO set to 66. Just
make sure CLK4 and SDRAM1 are jumpered correctly. These two jumpers
are the ones that control the memory speed.

Well, I am at my wits end. I'm a Linux newbie trying to get my stupid
modem to work. :(
It's a model that is confirmed non-Winmodem, but I really don't have
any clue where to go from here. I ran pnpdump and got this mess
below, and don't have a clue where to go from here. All I can figure
out is that it does seem to see the modem itself. Any help is greatly
aprreciated..
