I apologize, I guess I didn't make myself very clear. I was referring
to the limitation as the bug, not LILO. However, if a way was found
around it, it would certainly be a feather in the LILO crew's hat.

Perhaps this sounds tongue in cheek, but it's not meant to be;
if you were willing to spend some $$ on a BIOS replacement, perhaps
you should consider a MB/CPU/RAM upgrade, complete with a NEW
BIOS.
Any BIOS that I've seen to "upgrade" a system was priced no less
than $75, and for twice that you could get a minimalist AT MB
upgrade package.
Something to think about...

I have a new install of Mandrake 6.0 with a 18 GB WD Expert drive connected
to a Promise Ultra66 UDMA controller.
At boot the card and the drive are recognized, as indicated in dmesg.
However I can't mount or format the drive from Disk Druid or fdisk; I only
see the 1.4 GB disk connected to the on-board IDE controller.
The disk worked under Win98, so I know that everything is connected
properly.
Help is greatly appreciated!

Hi Gene --
I ran kernel compiles with DMA on/off; there speed difference is
only a few percent (with DMA it is _usually_ a few percent faster ;-).
Assuming that you do not swap a lot, disk speed does not seem to
matter much.
So, it _is_ a hot air.
I even tried to compile kernel using a virtual file system for the
kernel source (64MB out of 128MB memory), and there was only about
1% speed increase vs. compiling with 64MB of RAM disabled. (Disk
speed does not matter?..)
Things are better with a faster CPU: K6-2 at 350MHz is
almost exactly 7/6 faster than at 300MHz (takes ~300s vs. ~350s).
I do not pretend to have conducted careful tests, but
I guess this is appoximately the way the things are.
It seems to be more reasonable to get a larger UDMA/33 drive..
Best,
a.

Subject: 500K serial card and driver...
Date: 23 Jun 1999 17:31:00 -0700
Hi,
The lab i am working for is using a Sealevel Comm+2 PCI card which claims
to be able to reach 500K baud rate. Actually, we tested it on NT and it
sure can do 500K using RS422 without any problem.
Now we have a problem of figuring out on how to utilize this fast rate on
Linux. Can anyone give me some idea on whether linux actually supports
this card? (I checked Serial-HOWTO and did not see this particular PCI
card listed). And doesn't this kind of high speed along with using RS422
require a new device driver? I also wonder if anybody out there has used
some other cards which can offer the same performance on Linux. That way,
it might solve us a lot of problems creating a driver on our own.
Thanks much in advance.

I have a Kortex external modem.
It's supposed to work at 56Kbps, and until a few months ago,
I used to see transfer rates in Netscape of around 4 to 5
Kbytes per second.
This has dropped significantly of late, I believe due to
increased numbers of subscribers to my ISP.
How can I measure the REAL transfer rate in Kbps?

I was on the phone this morning with Promise about their Ultra66 card.
they said they are currently working on a Linux driver and estimate
it will be available sometime between now and the end of summer.
if you know of a driver that gets it to work at 33mhz, I'd be
interested.
would like to be able to use the hardware in slow mode until the real
driver comes out.

Subject: Shared Memory on STD 32 Processor
Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Date: Thu, 24 Jun 1999 00:59:35 GMT
I am currently developing applications to run on a VersaLogic STD 32
Bus Processor (VL-586-1) with 16 MB of Ram using Linux 2.0.36 patched
with RT-Linux 1.1. I have set the append line in the lilo.conf file to
"mem=14m". I have a similiar setup on a Dell Pentium 133 32MB PC. My
problem is that on the Dell I am able to access the upper memory as
shared memory from both User and Kernel space. However, on the
VersaLogic I can only access the upper memory @0xe00000 from User space.
If I try to access it from Kernel space, I get an "oops" with a message
from the Kernel saying that an attempt was made for an invalid virtual
page address at 0xc0e00000.
Debugging the main.c in the init directory shows me that both
systems correctly identify memory_end as 0xe00000, but looking in the
fault.c from the i386/mm directory indicates to me that the Kernel
somehow believes this address belongs to it, ergo the 0xCxxxxxxx at the
beginning of the address. Does anyone have any ideas where I might look
for my problem.

Are you SURE you need native support? Ghostscript does an outstanding
job with every printer I have ever thrown at it, and even ghostscript on
a 486 feeding an inkjet can typically outrun my postscript laser in
native mode.
I actually do have a couple of old postscript printers in varying
degrees of functionality, but they are heavy, big, clumsy, and slow
relative to my $200 hp deskjet.

Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Hello folks.
I've read all the postings about this darned audio chipset (OPL3-SAx): I've
an eXtensa 390 (Acer/TI) with 48Mb RAM and Linux 2.2.10. I've tried every
PnP configuration with every IRQ and DMA combination, and I'm working without
IRQ-stealing devices (PCMCIA and other) in order to be sure I'm doing
everything The Right Way... but I can't play samples.
As usual, the mixer works, I can listen to audio CDs. But every time
I try to play something (let's say a 5-seconds 16 bit stereo sample),
the kernel hangs, leaving me in quiet desperation.
This is the isapnp.conf, the settings have been grabbed from the Windows
driver:
#(DEBUG)
(READPORT 0x0203)
(ISOLATE)
(IDENTIFY *)
(CONFIGURE YMH0800/-1 (LD 0
(IO 0 (BASE 0x000))
(IO 1 (BASE 0x530))
(IO 2 (BASE 0x388))
(IO 3 (BASE 0x330))
(IO 4 (BASE 0x370))
(INT 0 (IRQ 5 (MODE +E)))
(DMA 0 (CHANNEL 0))
(DMA 1 (CHANNEL 7))
(NAME "YMH0800/-1[0]{YAMAHA OPL3-SAx Audio System}")
(ACT Y)
))
# End tag... Checksum 0x00 (OK)
.. and this is the conf.modules interesting part:
pre-install opl3sa2 modprobe "-k" "ad1848"
post-install opl3sa2 modprobe "-k" "opl3"
options opl3sa2 io=0x370 mss_io=0x530 mpu_io=0x330 irq=5 dma=0 dma2=7
options opl3 io=0x388
There seems to be no IRQ or DMA conflict, the card is detected correctly
etc., I've tried different DMA and IRQ combinations, but the kernel keeps
on freezing.
I'm going to give that Asomething sound system a try, but I would like to know
whether I'm the only one who still can't make the whole thing work or not...
Ciao,
Illo.

Someone just told me that to run a PCI card at
66 mhz, all PCI cards in the computer
need to be 66 Mhz. is this true?
if so, where the H am I going to get a
PCI 66 mhz ethernet card and modem?
is a differnt motherboard chipset used
to run PCI66 Mhz? how do I identify
a motherboard that can even handle PCI 66?

I put FPM memory into the system and the system would not complete the boot up
until I switched the memory settings from fast to normal in the BIOS setup.
Once I did so, I have had no problems using the FPM memory. I only purchased
and put this motherboard into service this past weekend.

Someone likes making that excuse for ATI.

'Luck' simply isn't good enough. It doesn't matter if the
odds are better. The potential for disaster is still there.
The consumer can, and should demand better than that and
allow to flourish those vendors that can actually deliver.
For 'ease', consumer-I-wanna-plug-it-in-like-a-toaster
kinda ease, a kludge clone just won't do. They're built
to be cheap and flexible, not reliable and easy.
The ease of Windows is more myth and lots of conditioning
than reality. It's time to dump both MS OSes and PC Clones.
