Well, I just call it like I see it. Some people have found their

Is it always the same block? If so, then your disk is developing bad
spots. I'd throw it away and buy a new one. OTOH, if it's random
blocks and never the same one, then it might be a loose cable or heat.
Try fixing those problems first: open the case, and make sure the
cables are all snug.
If it's the bad blocks it appears to be, then it's possible to mark
blocks as bad in the filesystem, but I've never bothered; IDE disks
will usually have several unreported errors before they run out of
spare blocks to remap bad spots to. You should have low confidence in
your disk; use it for mp3 files or something unimportant.

Thanks a lot for your help. I was able to get the quickcam to work.
I loaded four modules and I am using the qcam-0.91j driver/image grabber.
The four modules I loaded were parport.o,parport_pc.o, videodev.o and
bw-qcam.o
I don't think the last two are needed when using the qcam-0.91j driver (as
long as you specify the lpt port used.) I do think it was the parport_pc.o
module that was needed and that I wasn't loading that fixed the problem.
Thanks again.

Ok, you guys will be glad I was wrong. That is I was wrong about the
support for R128Pro chipset in XFree86 4.0.
I just downloaded its source was looking at the file and it's there.
XFree86 4.0 supports R128Pro chipset.
Now, All we have to do is install it, which I have never done. Well,
let's give it a go.

Subject: vesafb & Mach64 (ATI Rage LT Pro)
Date: Sat, 11 Mar 2000 02:50:45 +0100
Hello,
I'm running a laptop with a ATI Rage LT Pro Chipset.
I use the Mach64 Xserver which works nicely.
But: From time to time I like working on the console
so I compiled in the kernel (2.2.14) vesafb support
and start with vga=792. This gives me a nice console font.
Unfortunately my Xserver flickers if I use this video
mode.
The relevant lines in XF86Config are:
HorizSync 31.5-70
VertRefresh 50-100.5
# from grabmode
Modeline "1024x768" 66.781 1024 1080 1160 1376 768 768 774 807 -Hsync
-Vsync # 48.532kHz/60.14Hz
The last line comes from `grabmode' when running X
without the 792 vga mode. If I run `grabmode' with
the 792 vgamode, I get
Modeline "1024x768" 25.751 1024 1040 1160 1376 768 769 774 807 -Hsync
-Vsync # 18.714kHz/23.19Hz
what's going on there ? -- can anybody help me here ?
Or are there alternatives? -- I tried svgatextmode
but with this package installed (debian potato)
X does not run any more! And the svgatextmode and
setfont fonts are ugly compared to the 792 vga mode!
any help would be much appreciated.

I just ran into this tonight. At one point, I noticed that immediately
before those messages started, it appeared to go through the SCSI init a
2nd time. I recompiled the kernel with all other SCSI drivers (except
Adaptec 7880) set to No and changed the 7880 from Yes to Module. After

me the error you mention anymore.

Sounds a lot like the monitor I�have. I�had an rs6000 at the office. When
its 30-someodd MHz speed became laughable and the fan started to die, I
replaced it with a linux box. Strange that I�had originally gotten linux
(0.96c was the first kernel I used) to become more comfortable with the
workstations we were getting.
At any rate, I�kept the monitor, which is a 19" Sony relabeled as an IBM, much
like yours. I looked around, and at the time Mirage claimed that they could
drive the monitor with their fixed-freq specific card. They even provided me
with a close-to-usable XF86Config file. With a little tweaking using xvidtune
(which, BTW, worked great for me. As long as you know the H and V limits of
your monitor, it should not allow you to fry anything, and helps get it dialed
in.
The card came with a replacement chip to use with multi-sync monitors in case
the Sony should ever go belly up.

No, it's the video chip. Isn't yours on the list? If you don't know the chip

looking.

There are adjustments on the monitor itself for that. Take the cover off, and
there will be a number of adjustment screws on the side (on mine, the right
side when looking at the monitor).

I haven't fooled with Slackware for some time, but I can think of two
things right off that might cause this problem under normal usage:
lack of IDE CD-ROM support in the kernel and lack of ISO9660
filesystem support in the kernel. I don't remember what drivers are
included in the two boot images you quoted, so I can't be of much
more help. However, you must have such support in the kernel before
you can mount the CD.
Forgive me if this seems like I'm asking stupid questions... just

no, it's definitely only rarely indicative of clock speed: it's subject
to vagarities of the compiler, code alignment, etc. the best you can
say is that on a particular model of a particular processor, with a
single particular kernel binary, reported BM should track clock.
bogomips is nothing more than a calibration constant the kernel uses
for short busy-waits. a particular CPU's BM/clock ratio tells you
nothing about the goodness of the CPU.

Hi,
I saw some articles 8-9 months ago about Linux for PA-RISC arch. It is
there and built by HP. I am not sure why they are not saying this in
Public. They might be afraid of M$. They might tell this in PUblic after
the outcome of M$ anti trust trial.
Search on the net. You might find it. If I will come across then I will

I don't know for sure, but variations in calculated BogoMips may be
symptomatic of problems. The flaky motherboard I used to have would
sometimes report BogoMips of 801.18 upon bootup, and sometimes 799.54.
The same processor on a good motherboard with the same kernel reports
799.54 consistently. (possible flakiness in clock controller on the
old board here?)
This doesn't seem like it'd be really useful to anyone, but just maybe....

The boot hang at "LI" means that the first stage loader, one sector,
took control; finished; and is trying to pass control to the second
stage loader. The second stage loader never received control.
/boot must be in a separate partition with versions of LILO at 21 and
below.
If your BIOS supports the new int 0x13 EDD packet call interface, then
LILO 21.3 will be of help. It was announced 3/8/00 on
comp.os.linux.announce.
ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/system/boot/lilo or
ftp://sd.dynhost.com/pub/linux/lilo
The latter site has a more recent version of the 'disk.com' utility
which probes your BIOS for the prescence of the EDD interface.

Yes, LILO is able to dual boot Linux and Win2000.
I regularly triple boot:
/dev/hda (0x80) (27Gb drive)
/dev/hda1 win2000 boot partition ***
/dev/hda5 linux swap partition
/dev/hda6 linux 2.2.5 kernel ***
/dev/hdb (0x81) win2000 partitions
/dev/hdc (0x82) (17Gb drive)
/dev/hdc1 win2000 partition
/dev/hdc5 linux 2.2.12 kernel ***
LILO version 21.3 is used to avoid the need for /boot to lie below the
1024 cylinder limit on the 27Gb & 17Gb disks. If you can place /boot
below cylinder 1024, the LILO version 20 or 21 should work fine.

Lilo 21.3 was announced 8-Mar-00 on comp.os.linux.announce.
It is also at ftp://sunsite.unc.edu /pub/Linux/system/boot/lilo

The K6-3 use fullclocked 256kB L2-Cache and the board cache als l3
cache. The fpu seems to have more power too, the german ct magazine has
tested it again the cel400 and the k6/3-400 overruns it.

Compile a kernel, take the time and switch them around via bios
settings?
