I'd do this:

wait until it shuts down to single user. Then, manually unmount all the file
systems, including '/'. Then, reboot to single user mode and see if all the
file systems fsck'd and mounted cleanly. This way, you know and saw that they
were shutdown cleanly.
There was a problem with an early release of Mandrake 6.0 which would
sometimes fail to unmount file systems at shutdown time. Since Mandrake is
based on Redhat, maybe your Redhat system has the same problem?
If you observe a clean unmount, but fsck fails on the reboot, then you have a
rather large can of worms. Maybe the disk, maybe cpu or memory? What kind of
disk? If SCSI, make sure you're running with the shortest, highest quality
cables, and verify termination on both ends of the bus.

AFAIK, /proc/cpuinfo can be trusted.
top only goes to 100% total, so something using one whole CPU in a
dual box is at 50%. Start a piggy single-threaded process (if
you don't have one handy, "cat /dev/zero > /dev/null" should work)
and watch top; if it never goes beyond 50% then you're running in
SMP mode. (If you're really motivated, boot to a non-SMP kernel
and repeat the process to see top go to almost 100%.)
time and ktop go to 100% per processor, so something using a whole
CPU is at 100%, and the fact that the sum of all processes uses
more than 100% CPU shows that you are running multiple processors.
It would be good if the various tools would standardize on whether
100% means one CPU or all CPUs.
If you don't trust any of those tools, pull our your stopwatch
and compile some kernels, like this:
cd /usr/src/linux
make dep; make clean
time make bzImage
cd /usr/src/linux
maek dep; make clean
time make "MAKE = make -j 2" -j 2 bzImage
-j 2 causes make to spawn off 2 gcc compiles at a time; the
MAKE redefinition causes secondary makes to do the same.
On my SMP box, the second is much quicker than the first, and
time says something like 173% CPU used. Your stopwatch should
provide independent confirmation of what time says. A non-SMP
system will get a much smaller speed improvement from -j 2
(it gives the CPU something to do when blocked on I/O) and
time will report something at or under 100% CPU usage.

Hi,
I recently got hold of an old isa card with some swithches on it and I
thought that Linux would be happy to install it since it wasn't PnP but I
haven't got any manuals and I don't know who made the card. I was kind of
hoping that someone here could indentify it or tell me how to fiinstall it
or something. It's an isa card with two sockets. 1 for TP and one for the
old 9 pin cable. The switches on it can be set to either on or off. There
are 2 blocks of swithches with 8 switches in each which gives us 16
swithches to consider. For each switch there is a little info but it
certainly doesn't make any sense to me, but I figured that someone here
might know what the letters stand for.
switch no 1 block 1: SP
switch no 2 block 1: A0
switch no 3 block 1: A1

I just got a USR 1787-81, "Akita" OEM ISA modem. If you go to

I cannot wait, so I bought it at a local store for $58.95 + tax.

There is an option when you compile the kernel that says something like
"Probe all LUNs for each SCSI ID" meaning that a drive with a single SCSI
ID and multiple LUNs such as your CD changer would require this.
You can always cat /proc/scsi/scsi and see if the drives are recognized.

Yes that pretty much was the problem, that and me assuming my modem

all I gotta do now is figure out how to make the changes permanent so

something to do with .bashrc ?

Look in the startup scripts in /etc/rc.d for an invocation
of the mount command with the "-a" parameter (sorry I can't
be more specific, I have a different distribution and
am not familiar with the way Red Hat scripts behave at
startup). Anyway, just before that line, you could
add a "modprobe ppa" and see how that works.

I shut the machine down 2 different ways. I use RH6.0 and mostly use the

I know shutdown is OK, and assume that the Enlightenment feature is just an
alias to the same thing.
If the Enlightenmnet fature is not the fault, then would redoing the partition
table and reinstalling fix the problem, or is it more likely to be hardware
failure in the hdd?

A newer link for MkLinux is: http://www.mklinux.org/
Answer #2: "Not Yet"
http://www.thepuffingroup.com/parisc/
MkLinux is based on the Mach microkernel, while the Puffin Group's effort
is based on the conventional monolithic kernel. MkLinux has been around
longer than the Puffin version (which is still in the very early stages of
development), but MkLinux/PA-RISC appears to have been orphaned.
(MkLinux/PowerPC is still alive, it seems.)

That 34% number sounds like complete crap to me. Can the person
who posted it cite a source?
Remember, most code is identical between distributions. Compiling
performance-critical code optimized for the correct processor
type helps, but Red Hat 6.0 does that. The next step is to use
the pgcc compiler and more aggressive optimizations, but the catch
is that not all of the optimizations in pgcc are stable so this
requires care and testing. Stampede GNU/Linux is the first
distribution to do this, and they claim 5-30% speed improvement.
As pgcc becomes more stable and more mainstream, and DVD-ROM
and faster net connections eventually make distribution size less
of an issue, we should see all of the major distributions follow
suit.
Regardless of the distribution you choose, if you really care
about speed you might want to recompile a few critical programs
with pgcc. The principle of locality (most of the time is spent
in a small part of the code) holds with distributions as well
as individual programs; you don't need to optimize every single
package to see some benefit. Start with the kernel, X, and piggy
stuff that you run a lot. (Unfortunately, we don't have the
source for Netscape 4.x :-< )

My Sony SDT-5000 seems to work well on my TekrAm 390F scsi controller
with the ncr8xx driver. I always use /dev/nst0 since I like the
freedom to move around the tape and find out where I am. The tape
drive can only use all of its features if some options are set. While
there are setoptions commands in mt, I haven't seen the corresponding
*showoptions* commands. That status command shows some things, but
not the options.
I have also used this drive in OS/2. The Gtak/Gtar package for that
system offers three different scsi drivers. The preferred driver is
the ASPI driver, but that doesn't work on my system, with symptoms
similar to what is reported in the [EMAIL PROTECTED] posting. One
of the other drivers gives good service.

Subject: Help with #9 Revolution T2R video card
Date: Thu, 12 Aug 1999 12:37:16 -0500
hi, i installed Mandrake 6.0 onto my desktop machine. however
the x-win had not been set up properly. i could not find a
video driver for the above card. i tried the #9 Imagine 128
T2R driver, but it did not work.
where do i find the driver and how i can install it?
i'm new to Linux. thanks.
