Hi
I had a similar problem with the 3com 509B card. Solution was to configure
the bios of the card with the dos routine on the support disk to NOT USE
plugg and play support. Then it worked just fine with module installation.

Hi,
My question is regarding the System V filesystem support available in
Linux. I currently am running SCO Openserver 5.0.2, and I'd like to boot
Linux on an alternate drive, but be able to access the SCO drives from Linux,
I tried enabling CONFIG_SYSV_FS on the Linux box, but it still doesn't
recognize the drive... Is it perhaps that SCO Openserver doesn't use
"UFS"?
This is from the Linux FAQ

Hi everyone,
Sorry for posting this slightly out of subject message. However, I have
a feeling somebody here will know the answer to my question...
Recently when the Melissa(?) virus roamed the PC's of everybody who was
fortunate enough to use the Vir98 platform, rumors were out in the press
that Windoze products contained some secret protocols that would allow
everybody that knew those protocols to access the hard drive of any
computer running Win98 (and maybe Windoze explorer). Supposedly those
protocols should also have allowed police/hackers to track the creator
of the virus. Are anybody here able to confirm/reject my interpretation
of those rumors??
Again, sorry for posting this here.

I wasn't aware of having done anything special. The SCSI board was recognized
when I originally installed, but the drive was added later. (Last week). There
were a number of jumper settings I changed before installing it, though. Among
other things, one of the jumpers issues the "ARCHIVE Python 04106-xxx" tape ID,
rather than "SEAGATE STD624000N". References to /dev/nst0 just worked. Sorry I
can't offer any special insite there.

Not karma, it's just a crap O/S for this day and age. I like to compare

It does work in Windows, but what I failed to mention was the fact that the
Windows machine is in fact another machine. Now that you mention it, I have
a feeling that it could be a termination problem in this machine, it is an
PS1, and I wouldn't be surprised it something is wrong with the IDE
controller or termination. At least I can get one drive to work with it :).

A buffer underrun creates a coaster. Should not be a problem with SCSI,
use some caution with ATAPI, and I wouldn't even consider parallel
port. Windows users should avoid "features" like Active Desktop and
Fast File Find, which seem to grab resources when least convenient.
Using Linux with a Ricoh 6201S, a 2X burner with a 2MB buffer and a SCSI
I/F, I've never created a coaster from buffer underrun. Cockpit error,
yes.
I like CDR for archives, tape for backups.

I've used AMI's MegaRAID controller and installed Linux on to a root RAID
partition.
I haven't seen any problems with this configuration.

I would think any of the RAID controllers listed in the Redhat HCL works
fine. The only
experience I have is with AMI's RAID controller and I haven't had any
problems with it.
I do believe other RAID controllers might faster although I haven't done any
testing.
VA Linux uses Mylex eXtremeRAID Controller with 16MB ECC cache. The one good
thing about AMI's MegaRAID card is that you can download a utility to
view/modify your RAID configuration under Linux. Some other RAID controllers
don't have this or require you to enter
the RAID BIOS or boot to DOS to make any changes.

works as the modem still dials out and connects.
The problem I am having is the first time I try to dial out, I usually
get a 'NO CARRIER' signal. The second time will dial and connect
succesfully. After the connection is terminated, the NO CARRIER problem
recurs for the next try.
Does anybody have a clue what is going on here?
Thanx in advance,
