Parrallel port problems:
I'm running Redhat 6.1 and it is having problems find the parrallel port. I
am unable to print directly to the port, the printer setup utility in
Control panel can not detect any port. It check lp0,lp1,lp2. If I put in a
bootable dos disk I can print. So this eliminates bad hardware. I was able
to print when this machine ran RH5.2. I check the bios settings. the port
was set at i/o 0x378 (lp1) type I don't remember what it was at but I
change it to standard. (to no avail) So Hopefully some has an inspiring
thought on this.

I'll second the others who are recommending an external modem hung on
the serial port. IF you're determined to have an internal unit, though,
look for US Robotics' model 5610 (56K PCI Faxmodem) or their 'Internet
Gaming Modem' 5613 which is the same thing with some Windoze games
thrown in. This is a controller-based modem which should work properly
under Linux, vs. most PCI modems which are software-driven 'Winmodems'.

All right, here's the breakdown. I've got a Dell
Poweredge 2300 with the AMI MegaRAID Express 200
Series 466 RAID controller. I set up a Logical
Drive (RAID 5) and installed RedHat 6.1. (RHAT
6.1 comes with v1.04 of the megaraid driver)
During testing the system would lock up under
heavy IO, so I upgraded to the 2.2.14 kernel and
installed v1.07 of the AMI megaraid driver.
Now the system doesn't lock up all together, it
just pauses, writes, pauses, writes. If anyone
has any information on how to fix this behaviour,
please respond. Thanks in advance.

What's the chance of a straight 16450 being on a Linux system - and what
do we do?
I remember programming the PC/XT serial port, there I had to set up my
own circular buffer in SW, I suppose these chips are backward-compatibe
in the sense that the buffer can be disabled ... will check this, but if
these chips are not in the machine park anymore, it is not much sense
...
What years are we talking about here?

I used to have lousy upload performance on an os/2 system.. It would be
ok for about 5K and then get slower and slower till it finally stopped.
The problem was that my modem defaulted to software handshaking.
Also, make sure your MTU isn't any bigger than the input buffer of your
ISP. 1500 always works. When I used zmodem w/ a university computer, I
had to lower my packet size to 256 as that was all their input buffer
could hold at a time.

Check the pose from 'Dances with crows' - it lists some chips with bugs.
Be sure to know whether you have one of these of not, and in that case:
Turn off HW buffering. THIS is what I saw in the Windows program:
Buffering OFF if so & so chip (see posting)

Subject: Hot Swapping a floppy drive?
hello,
I am running Red Hat 6.1 on an old 486 DX 33mhz. Because of hard drive
problems, when I boot, I have to load LILO from floppy which then boots
the rest of RH from the harddrive. That is the only need I have for the
floppy for this machine.
I was wondering if RH (or any typical release of Linux like Turbo Linux,
SuSE, Mandrake, etc...) would throw a fit if I were to just unplug the
floppy's power and data cable?
It's more of a test and experiment machine so if there's a chance of it
working, please tell me.
(I would just go ahead and just try it without any information but if
there's a guaranteed chance of complete meltdown, I'd just as soon save
my equipment)

I'm running linuxPPC 1999 Q3 on a 6500/250. (I used the RedHat install
because the other install was idiotic at checking for dependencies). Even if
you
don't know anything about linuxPPC, please read on in case my problem has
a common solution among platforms...
When I boot up initially, I can connect to sites and such, but after a
couple of minutes my connection goes down. After that I am disconnected
until I reboot. Here's the messages that appear in my dmesg relating to
ethernet:
eth0: DC21041 at 0x0400 (PCI bus 0, device 13), h/w address [i took out],
and requires IRQ23 (provided by PCI BIOS).
[then alot of info about other hardware being detected, at the end:]
eth0: media is unconnected, link down or incompatible connection.
eth0: media is TP.
If I am in console mode, I consistently get this message popping up:
'eth0: Re-entering the interrupt handler.'
Anyone have any ideas as to what is happening? When I boot up to MacOS, the
network works fine. My network sets me up through DHCP, and that is how I
have it set up in linux. I run linux on my PC, hooked up to the same
network, and it works fine.
