It should work, but you won't be able to get the UDMA 66 card to work=20
under the stock kernel. You will have to either upgrade your kernel to=20
2.3 or apply a UDMA patch.

You can't be serious. By and large my experience is that Linux has far
broader hardware support than BeOS does. I wish it was the other way
around.

Subject: x86 Linux under Virtual PC?
Hi, everyone!
Please forgive me if I'm repeating an old question. I'm new to this group.
I've been trying to install SuSE Linux 6.2 (Kernel V2.2.10) under
VirtualPC on a G3 Macintosh.
Ok, you may have a good laugh now. 8-)
The reason why I didn't bother with the PPC native version is that
I'll have to do some development and testing of Intel binaries.
Easily replaceable drive containers, the simultaneous presence of the
MacOS and my lack of enthusiasm for buying *yet* *another* computer
prevented me from taking the "easy way". ;-)
THE PROBLEMS:
- YaST often refuses to start up (in about every second attempt) and
just returns to the installation shell ("installation is not complete").
- Even if YaST happens to come up, it goes through partitioning and
package selection alright - but when it starts unpacking and installing
the individual packages, segmentation violations and failed accesses
to crazy pathnames are displayed in the status window.
The installation may even complete; But the system won't boot the
garbled system.
The emulated hardware is detected by the installer and appears to be ok.
(Pentium CPU, IDE, S3 Trio graphics, Tulip Ethernet, other standard ports
& chips)
My guess is that the hardware emulation of Virtual PC might be slightly
wrong with a PMMU mode that's not used in Windows 95/98/NT nor in OS/2
(which all run fine to my knowledge). The precompiled Linux kernel,
however, might use a different PMMU setup which Connectix didn't bother
to implement or just failed to implement correctly.
THE QUESTIONS:
- Is this particular behaviour known from other ("real") platforms?
- Does somebody know of a VirtualPC-adapted or just generally more
conservative kernel version? (Compilation parameters?)
- Or can somebody provide any other advice?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. :-)
thanks in advance
Klaus

> I thought Linux did support the hardware you mention?
I have once again checked XFree86.org, Red Hat, Mandrake, Caldera and
SuSe, and none of them mention either TNT2, Voodoo3 or SB Live!. Be.com
does.
With so many Linux distros one would think that at least one would include
the required drivers if they were available. Again, I am planning to get
an official copy of one of the distros and, thus, am looking for
"out-of-the-box" support.

I am talking modern x86 hardware support under GUI. In general, of
course, you can even run Linux on some obscure 10-year old machines, but
that is not the point here.

Going to http://www-classic.be.com/support/guides/beosreadylist_intel.html
is the only way to find out. BTW, the upgrade is free.

Then, how come they are not mentioned on the site?

Are you guys still stuck in the 60's? I am sorry, but I don't think any
modern end-user OS can exist without a GUI.

Subject: Building new Linux server - opinions
Date: Fri, 03 Sep 1999 19:57:17 GMT
So, I'm about to start building a new server to replace my tired
Pentium 150 machine. Here are the primary components I'm planning on
using:
* Supermicro S2DG2 dual Xeon SMP motherboard
* Single 550mhz Pentium-III Xeon w/512K cache
(will add second processor when prices drop)
* 256mb ECC PC100 RAM, 1 X 168-pin DIMM
(will eventually upgrade to 1Gb RAM)
* Quantum Atlas-IV 9.1Gb 7200 RPM Ultra-2 SCSI drives
(probably 2 or 3 to start)
* SuperMicro SC750 server case w/XEON cooling kit
Naturally, I'll add a CDRom, floppy, and video card, but the above items
are the important bits I'm interested in. Now I know these are all
tier-1 supported hardware according to Red Hat. I'm looking for input
from anyone out there that has some experience with Linux on this
platform, this motherboard in particular.
Anybody out there playing with the 2.2 kernel on a multiprocessor box?
I'm curious how much of a performance gain the second processor will buy
me. Secondarily, I'm curious about SCSI drive expansion cabinets - any
thoughts? What about Ultra-II (80Mb/s) SCSI in general?
BTW, I'm going to be using this box for database (Oracle) development
work.
TIA,

Subject: probs with external modem
Date: Fri, 3 Sep 1999 19:28:19 +0100
Hello,
I have one of those Intenral Winmodem which Linux does not recognise.
In the meantime I purchased an externa 33.6 Micocom OfficePorte Voice modem
on the assumption that external modems are 'real' modems and that it would
work. I think Microcom is owned by Compaq
However, I cannot get the system to recognise it. In minicom I set the
modem up and when exiting it says 'initializing modem' and nothing at all,
no lights or anything flash on the modem. When the words initializing modem
disappear and the terminal screen appears but when I try and type AT on the
keyboard nothing appears on screen. All I can do is press CTRL A Z for
help. It does'nt matter what com port I place it on.
The modem works ok in windows.
Any one know if this modem can work with Redhat 5.2? I think the modem may
be plug and play, even if a plug and play modem is external will there still
be probs. Plug and Play is a guess, there's nothing in the modem doc to say
plug and play.
thanks,
Ruairi

(Sorry, can't mail right now.)
Anyway, the DE-220 works just fine with the ISA NE2000 driver (ne.o).
There are two gotchas, however:
- All ISA NE2000 cards *must* have the base I/O address of the
card specified as a parameter to the driver. For example, my
DE220 uses address 300. So to manually load the driver, I
would say "modprobe ne io=0x300".
To load automatically, I put "ne" in /etc/modules, and make
sure "options ne io=0x300" appears in /etc/conf.modules.
- This is where the other gotcha comes into play - you need to
have a fixed base I/O address for the card. However, recent
versions of the DE-220 are PnP cards. Fortunately, you can
disable Plug'n'Play on the card itself. DO THIS.
To do so, you need to boot into DOS (plain DOS command line,
*not* a Windows DOS box), and run the SETUP program off the
driver disk that should have come with the 220 card. (If not,
you can get it off D-Link's website.) It's a pretty easy
program to use - just turn OFF Plug'n'Play (PnP), and choose
suitable IRQ and I/O Port settings (i.e. ones that aren't
used by anything else - 10 and 2c0 are usually good choices).
Then boot back into Linux and load the ne driver as describe above.
Once the driver is loaded successfully, you can go ahead and configure
networking protocols (probably TCP/IP).
Good luck...

I have Mandrake 6.0 dual booted with Win98 on a HP Pavilion 4450, and
everything works except for the flaky winmodem/soundcard combo. I did
install an old 1.25G drive for Linux's exclusive use however. Install
went fairly smoothly except that autoprobing for the video card locked
up the whole thing. Anyway, I think that the 8570 also uses a similar
video system, so setting it as ATI Rage / MACH64 should work.

You probably used some kind of EZ-Drive/OnTrack program for formatting/setting up your
DiamondMax HD, no? The install floppy that
Maxtor ships with it's >8.4 gig harddrives basically rewrites the MBR (master boot
record) of that drive in a special way that corrects the
8.4 gig HD blindspot in all (I think) pre-PentiumII motherboards. Actually, some OEMs
may have BIOS updates available which also corrects
the same problem that EZDrive is addressing ... namely, the fact that
most board chipsets older than, say, 9-15 months, can't "see" more than
1024 cylinders on a hard drive. EZ Drive superimposes a kind of
translation scheme in the MBR of the drive that loads right after the
BIOS (it gives you a message like "Starting EZ-Drive controller..." as
it does this).
Without this EZDrive translation, some Operating Systems will not see
or allow you to use more than 8.4 gigs of your HD. Linux doesn't need
the EZDrive layer to see the whole drive, but Windows does, so ...
if you attempt to install the LILO bootsector on dev/hda - which is equivalent to your
hard drive's MBR, as opposed to the various Boot Records/Partition Table which
demarcate partitions on the drive (in Linux-speak, dev/hda1, dev/hba2, etc.) - chances
are good that this will
NOT sit well with the EZDrive code residing in that same MBR.
Don't install LILO to dev/hda if you want to use Win9x on the same
drive! You could puree your MBR or Partition Tables in a heartbeat,
which sucks real bad.
Also: be careful what Windows/Dos based "Boot Manager" type programs you use, that
allow you to boot into different OS's and what not. Some,
like System Commander 4 in my experience, can be lethal when mixed with EZDrive...this
& many other MBR-modifying programs do not know about EZDrive's unusual translation
scheme, and bad stuff happens. Many hard disk apps for Windows think that EZDrive is
a virus in your MBR!
Don't use any program like this unless you're real sure about it.
So, I bought a new 10G Maxtor drive (7200RPM IDE, $129!)
I wanted to run both Linux & Win98 on my 166MHz (=too old for 1024+ cylinder harddrive
compatability) Compaq Presario, and I didn't
want to only have access to Linux via a boot floppy.
Here's what I did to avoid springing the $$$ for a new Motherboard & (seemingly)
achieve the above goals -
Took my two FAT32 partitions and carved three new Linux partitions out
of them (this is easy to with Partition Magic , but of course there are
many other ways to skin that cat) : a PRIMARY Ext2FS (i.e.-Linux native)
partition of 50 megs BEFORE the 1st FAT32 partition, aka "C:\".
Creating this PRIMARY partition can be tricky as you're gonna have to
move everything on C:\ up by 50mgs ... don't bump the table, Homer, especially if
you've got a 7200RPM rev'd up ... if the partition &
moving process dies because you nudged your computer & caused a HD skip,
it could take your MBR down with it after you cold-boot the thing back
up, & into a sheer wall of corrupt FAT, not to mention many more hours
of struggle (unless you've got good current CDR backups of your system -
I certainly don't, & don't exactly enjoy losing lots of recent files, losing
everything, or spending several late nights regaining a basic working system ...
needless to say, all of which have happened to my
dumb a*s!).
Where was I? Oh yeah, the first 50 meg Linux partition .... OK, the
other 2 new Linux partitions I created after shrinking "D:\" from 7
gigs to 4 ...the 2nd Linux partition is formatted as Linux swap, and is
130 megs in size. It is a LOGICAL drive residing in the EXTENDED
partition that starts with "D:" (the second FAT32 partition), as is
the 3rd new partition I made, which became the Linux root drive.
With the LinuxConf tool I made LILO place its boot sector on the 1st
Linux partition, the 50 meg primary part. at the beginning of the drive.
The LocalFilesystems applet allowed me to set the linux BOOT drive as dev/hda3 (my 1st
linux partition) and the ROOT as dev/hda8 (my last, & largest linux partition).
Now back over to Windows: I grabbed Linux95 v1.0 somewhere (just do an altavista.com
or linux.cnet.com search) and it basically saved the
day... I followed the directions given, and after some tweaking got it to work. Now I
can boot to an OS-selecter menu at startup, or just launch Linux95 while in Win98 and
quick reboot into ... the loving arms of Mr.Torvald!
Hope this helps...& maybe someone else can point out some other,
more elegant solution for the EZ-Drive/8.4 gig question...
