I hate to ask (what should be) the obvious, but are you re-running
lilo after making the modifications to lilo.conf?
I ran 2.0.34 for a while and all 128 MB of memory in this machine were
reported correctly, after the append="mem=128M" modification
to lilo.conf and re-running lilo.
*This* is a VFAQ.
Kernel v. 2.0.36 and 2.2.x will recognize all of your memory correctly
without such modification.

I think this is a common misconception about Symetric Multi-Processing (SMP)
configurations. Basically, a multi-processor SMP system will not run your
applications any faster unless they have been truely written for and
optimized for SMP architectures. Most applications (except database, like
oracle, and advanced modeling, such as MM5 weather prediction) and are not
optimized for it. This is especially true of games written for the "lowest
common demonitator". SMP is not really a speed solution, more of a volume
solution. There is overhead in running multiple processors with "shared
everything", most noticably in data/cache consistency logic.
In a nutshell: If you want to run applicatons fast, get a fast single
processor system. If you want to run bunchs of applications at the same
time, get multiple processor systems.
My 2 cents worth...

What you are seeing is commonly called Radio Frequency Interferrence, or RFI
("TEMPEST" in the military..). All electrical devices, whether they are
designed to or not, transmit electromagnetic emanations. There is no way to
stop it, but you can control it by shielding the device (not an option in
your case, very expensive...). Your best bet is to move your systems around
until you find the locations which work best. The cheapest defense against
emi/rfi is space. (BTW, thats what they mean when they say "reorient the
receiving device" in that little notice about "Class A/Class B computing
device" that the FCC makes the manufacturer tell you in thier manuals.)
Good luck

I was looking around trying to find a decent 4mm DAT tape drive to connect
or install in my PC running triple boot NT/Win98/Linux system. Basically, I
would like such a drive to be configurable in all 3 environments, but if it
just worked in Linux (Red Hat 6.0) then I could accept that. Any one know
of a good drive that may meet my specs? Thanks in advance!

Subject: SCSI CDROM
Date: Mon, 21 Jun 1999 05:18:10 GMT
I'm having an interesting problem mounting a Pioneer SCSI CDROM 56S under
RH6.0
I have an Initio 9090U SCSI adapter recompiled into the 2.2.5-15 kernel and
on this card there is a Fujitsu MO (ID4 unterminated) and the CDROM (ID1
terminated at end of chain). Both devices are seen during the boot. I can
mount the MO in the directory /mnt/mo using mount -t vfat /dev/sda /mnt/mo,
but no matter what I try (mount -t auto sda4, sda3, sda2, sda1, sdb, sdb1,
sdb2, sd3, sdb4, sdx, cdrom, etc.) I can't get the CDROM to mount. Usually
I get the message that sdax (or sbx) is not a valid block device.
dmesg shows that the kernel is seeing the cdrom as a scsi device.
There is no IDE CDROM installed now (I installed from a x4 IDE CDROM on IDE0
but was hoping to replace it with this x9 Pioneer).
Any pointers to what I am doing wrong?

in a way, I don't blame @home.
cable modems and (for example) dsl have two entirely different market
segments. if you need always-on static-ip server style connectivity,
then dsl (cheap) or t1 (expensive) is what you should buy.
if you are a casual net.user and don't run servers at home, the cable
may be right for you.
but you SHOULD understand the target markets of both before you buy.
its not @home's fault that they want to be in one space and you want
to be in another.
taking the side of an ISP (for a second), how would YOU protect the
interests of your subscribers if someone was eating up all the avail
b/w? if your users are complaining about lack of b/w, how else would
you react?
the cable plant has certain constraints. the dsl plant has different
constraints. simply choose the right service for your connectivity
needs. a little homework beforehand goes a long way...

: ONadvantage Upstream Enhancement
: ?Date posted: 9 Mar 1999
: ?Date last updated:
: ?Author: Karen Thomas
: ?Distribution status: MSO
: ?Review status: Preliminary
: ?Also referred to as 'Upstream Defined
: ?Bandwidth' or 'Upstream Rate Limiting'
: ?Background and FAQs for Operations including
: ???? Customer Service Representatives
: ???? Field Installers
: ?Background
: ?ONadvantage Overview and Upstream Enhancement - an integral part
: ?of the @Home experience
: ?@Home's network was designed on the fundamental premise that
: sustainable
: ?high performance requires a highly scaleable architecture that removes
: Internet
: ?traffic jams and enables true end-to-end performance management.
: ?ONadvantage (Optimized Network Advantage) has two goals that carry this
: ?premise forward:
: ?? 1.Ensure that the @Home experience is fast and delivers multi-megabit
: ???? speeds.
: ?? 2.Ensure that speed and service is consistent across the growing
: subscriber
: ???? base.
: ?To this end there are three ONadvantage projects:
: ?? 1.ONadvantage Proxy Evangelization - Improve speed by storing data as
: ???? close to the subscribers as possible by using proxy or caching
: servers.
: ?? 2.ONadvantage Upstream Enhancement - Ensure consistent speed and
: ???? performance across the subscriber base by proactively managing the
: ???? network at the subscriber's end.
: ?? 3.ONadvantage CAR (Committed Access Rate) - Ensure consistent speed
: ???? and performance by shielding the @Home Network from external
: ???? problems including security attacks and off-net data abuses.
: ?The remainder of this document addressed ONadvantage Upstream
: ?Enhancement details that arise from MSO and @Home planning sessions.
: ?ONadvantage Upstream Enhancement - What it is and why
: ?The ONadvantage Upstream Enhancement is an improvement in speed and
: ?service consistency that is implemented at each customer's modem. The
: ?maximum rate at which a modem can send data (upstream) is set at 128
: kbps
: ?(kilobits per second).
: ???? Speed remains at multi-megabit levels.
: ???????? Current speed claims of 'peak speeds over 100 times faster than
: a
: ???????? 28.8 kbps modem' and 'up to 100 times faster' remain and are
: not
: ???????? affected in any way.
: ???????? Downstream rates remain as is and benefit from ONadvantage
: ???????? Upstream Enhancement.
: ???? Over 99.5% of the subscriber base will experience improved service.
: ???????? Consistent high speed service: Sending files at rates up to 128
: ???????? kbps ensures that each subscriber receives consistent high
: speed
: ???????? experience. The @Home Network has done research and has
: ???????? noticed that certain customers are abusing the network by using
: a
: ???????? disproportionate share of network resources, which in turn
: causes
: ???????? poor performance for others on the network. To help manage this
: ???????? abuse and ensure that all our customers get consistent high
: speed
: ???????? service, ONadvantage is being rolled out. The ONadvantage
: ???????? Upstream Enhancement is targeted specifically at protecting the
: ???????? HFC network from the small set of subscribers that may use a
: ???????? disproportionate share of bandwidth.
: ?All modems have a limit on the rate at which they can send data,
: although this
: ?rate is different from modem to modem and depends on many additional
: factors.
: ?The @Home service, designed for residential use and designed for
: acceptable
: ?use as outlined in the Acceptable Use Policy, benefits by proactively
: managing
: ?this rate, the upstream rate, to 128 kbps for all subscribers. By mid
: 1999 all
: ?new modem deployments will have 128 kbps upstream rates. As of March 1,
: ?1999 all existing proprietary (non-DOSCIS) modems are in the process of
: ?being deployed with the ONadvantage Upstream Enhancement.
: ???? Analogy: Think of ONadvantage Upstream Enhancement as metering
: ???? lights on highway on-ramps. The speed on the highway is fast and
: ???? remains fast as long as cars entering the highway do so in a
: managed,
: ???? organized fashion without impairing the speed of those already on
: the
: ???? highway. When metering lights are off cars may enter freely. When
: ???? metering lights are on, cars wishing to enter must first adhere to
: the
: ???? metering lights. This prevents a surge of vehicles from entering
: the
: ???? highway all at once and slowing the entire highway and all the
: drivers' fast
: ???? speed experience. The speed of each driver on the highway is
: preserved.
: ???? Note that this analogy falls short in that the ONadvantage Upstream
: ???? Enhancement delivers an on-ramp rate that is faster than the
: typical
: ???? on-ramp. ONadvantage Upstream Enhancement is 4 times faster than a
: ???? dial-up modem while ensuring that the peak (downstream) rates are
: over
: ???? 100 times faster than a 28.8 kbps modem. ONadvantage Upstream
: ???? Enhancement delivers on-ramp speeds that reach peak speeds that are
: ???? orders of magnitude faster than typical dial-up modems offer in the
: same
: ???? situation.
: ?Customer Service Representatives
: ?ONadvantage Upstream Enhancement - FAQs
: ?What is ONadvantage?
: ?ONadvantage stands for 'Optimized Network Advantage'. Based on customer
: ?feedback, we're making a few changes to our network to ensure that you
: ?consistently experience the blazingly fast speed of the Internet over
: cable. MSO
: ?@Home is a series of enhancements that will give all our members the
: ?opportunity to enjoy superior performance and unwavering reliability of
: the
: ?MSO @Home service.
: ?ONadvantage enhancements include upgrading all our mail and caching
: servers.
: ?The new mail servers are designed to ensure consistent, reliable
: performance as
: ?our subscriber base grows, and the new caching servers are designed to
: ensure
: ?super-fast performance for Web surfing.
: ?What is ONadvantage Upstream Enhancement?
: ?We have noticed that certain customers are abusing the network by using

: ?What is the upstream rate of my @Home service?
: ?Is the @Home service rate-limited?
: ?Downstream rates are NOT limited. Upstream rates are limited to 128
: kbps.
: ?I bought an 'unlimited' service. I asked you if the @Home service is

: ???????? unnecessary misunderstandings.
: ???? ONadvantage needs your help by keeping it low-key in the eyes of
: ???? the subscriber.
: ???????? Ideally the customer will experience the advantages of
: ???????? ONadvantage program without ever knowing it existed.
: ?ONadvantage Upstream Enhancement - Additional Background
: ?ONadvantage Upstream Enhancement provides significant benefit by
: protecting
: ?the HFC plant. Data shows a small minority, as few as one or two users,
: can
: ?use a disproportionate share of bandwidth and negatively affect the
: performance
: ?of other subscribers. The likelihood of this happening increases as the
: number of
: ?subscribers grows. (An example of this kind of abuse is running servers
: off of
: ?the @Home Network and is clearly outlined in the Acceptable Use Policy
: ?(AUP)). @Home is committed to addressing this problem early and before
: ?significant subscriber growth leads to increased performance issues and
: makes
: ?ONadvantage Upstream Enhancements difficult to deploy. A handful of
: abusers
: ?can use up to 50% of a given node's resources if left unchecked.
: ?Implementing the ONadvantage Upstream Enhancement is the only known,
: ?scaleable solution to managing the subscriber abuse. Other approaches
: are not
: ?proactive and therefore leave the network and all subscribers open to
: severe
: ?performance loss whenever an abuser grabs an upstream bandwidth above
: and
: ?beyond a residential user's needs. The AUP clearly states what is and
: is not
: ?acceptable. The ONadvantage Upstream Enhancement makes the @Home
: ?residential service very unattractive for subscribers who push the
: limits of the
: ?service into the unacceptable use area. Specifically, those subscribers
: who wish
: ?to deploy servers (clearly not acceptable use and outlined in the AUP
: as such)
: ?will find that the 128 kbps maximum upstream rate unacceptable
: performance
: ?for this kind (unacceptable) activity. They will seek services
: elsewhere, including
: ?business services offered by the MSO and MSO@Home (including @Work
: ?products). Again, this is a minute portion of the subscriber base, less
: than half a
: ?percent.
: ?Deploying Upstream Enhancements
: ?The schedule, and this includes status on what markets have been
: deployed to
: ?date, is found here:
: ?Master Schedule:
:
:?http://partner.home.net/prod_marketing/info/onadvantage/UpstreamRateLmtg_MasterSchedule.xls
:
: ?This schedule is for all markets and all modems. We will constantly be
: posting
: ?updates to it so check back frequently. Note that the schedule
: distinguishes
: ?between 'tentative' and 'confirmed' dates. MSO approval is
: ?required for dates to be 'confirmed'.
: ?Marketing, Public Relations, Communications
: ?ONadvantage Upstream Enhancement - Additional notes
: ?ONadvantage Upstream Enhancement is a positive development for the
: ?@Home Network. It is also very complex as it involves network
: management
: ?decisions that are technical in nature and easily misconstrued by
: subscribers.
: ?@Home strongly recommends that subscriber communication be limited to:
: ?? 1.The ONadvantage letter sent out in late 1998.
: ?? 2.The broadcast banner next to the 'Talk to Us' button on the @Home
: ???? Home page that includes a click-through letter. This click-through
: letter is
: ???? posted 24 hours prior to deployment and will:
: ???????? Explain ONadvantage in broad terms.
: ???????? Will inform the subscriber of the time of the brief service
: ???????? interruption.
: ???????? Will target the audience by MSO and by state and often more
: ???????? granular.
: ???????????? This limits the message to those who need to know.
: ?? 3.In both instances the following will *NOT* be mentioned:
: ???????? 128 kbps
: ???????? Upstream rate limiting
: ?This basic plan is based on the premise that subscribers wish to have a
: service
: ?that is fast and reliable. They want the service to be provided with a
: minimum
: ?amount of effort on their part. This includes network management
: decisions and
: ?improvements and other technical aspects of the service. Customers
: would
: ?prefer NOT to be dragged into technical discussions or emails.
: Furthermore, the
: ?concepts of 128 kbps, rate limiting, and servers are not easily
: conveyed. In fact,
: ?the chances for misunderstandings and miscommunications with
: subscribers is
: ?very great. Therefore @Home's communication plan is based on delivering
: only
: ?what the customer needs to know.
: ???? ONadvantage should be kept low-key in the eyes of the
: ???? subscriber.
: ???? Ideally the customer will experience the advantages of
: ???? ONadvantage program without ever knowing it existed.
: ?Clearly if a subscriber asks point-blank, 'am I being rate limited?',
: the answer
: ?must be yes. See FAQs above.
: ?Note that @Home Public relations is actively involved in shaping
: ONadvantage
: ?communications strategy and kept informed of all developments.
