Hello,
I have a APC Smart-UPS V/S 650. It's connected via a serial cable with
the Linux-computer. The connection of
the wires is like 940-00240C. After starting the daemon, all seems to be
ok. *But* 20 seconds after switching off the power, the system reboots
(although TIMEOUT is 300). Before rebooting, the system says:
Battery Load Limits Reached, Beginning Shutdown Sequence
Battery RunTime Limits Reached Beginning Shutdown Sequence
That seems quite strange to me, as I defined TIMEOUT in the
config-file. Then I tried the following entries in the conf-File:
BATTERYLEVEL 0
MINUTES 0
But it was exactly the same behaviour.
Does anyone know what's going on and how to fix the fault?
Thanks a lot for your help.
Kind regards
Bjoern Gerhart

Hi Greg!
My SB 128PCI works under irq 10 and io 0xec00, using the driver for the
es1371. These irq and io settings also work well under win98. I wonder why
you set it up using irq 1 or 5?!
BTW, I don�t have a nic which could cause additional problems. Try looking
what values are used by windows. and try to use /sbin/lspci -p under linux
to see if your card is recognised by the kernel at all. My computer shows
something like
... multimedia controller ...:1371 [some numbers and the chip type (es
1371).]
Hope this helps

I am using RedHat 6.0 and have a SB64 Value sound card. I was using
"sndconfig" to config my sound card. I inputted all the parameters and
could hear the speech perfectly. When it got to the MIDI part, it said "No
AWE synth device is found". However, I remember I have clicked 'Y' for the
AWE32 synth option when I was compiling my kernel.

I have a SIIG UltraSCSI Pro card with two cd-rom drives one's a writer.
I can't find any driver that will work with it during the install
(Redhat Mandrake 6.2) I was able to install from a ide drive that I've
temporarly added to the system and would like to know if there are any
"generic" drivers and how to install them manually? I can't find any
way in linuxconf. I had a similar problem with my network cards and
someone told me how to add the module in config.modules and that worked
great! If I could get similar help with this it would be appreciated.
A complete list of things I need help with if anyone wants to help
out!
1) installing my SIIG UltraSCSI Pro controller
2) the best way to configure multiple cd-rom drives on different
controlers
3) how to set up a server to auto dial to the internet when a
connection is requested
4) how to forward request from the workstations throught the server
and to the internet?
5) how to accept calls from outside computers?

On some motherboards there's a jumper to disable the AGP and run an old
PCI card. It might be possible on a BIOS level too. Don't know.
It would depend, of course, on whether the new video card is onboard or
not...

Subject: Problems with Adaptec 1542b SCSI & Sony SDT-5000 DDS2 DAT
Date: Wed, 15 Mar 2000 12:12:44 -0000
I have recently aquired an old Adaptec AHA1542b ISA SCSI card and a Sony
SDT-5000 DDS2 DAT drive and am having problems. The SCSI card is the only
SCSI card in my system (a P166 with 64Mb RAM running SuSE 6.3) and the
DAT drive the only SCSI device.
When I try to write to a tape say using a command such as
find /home -print | cpio -ocva > /dev/st0
It writes about 20 Mb then stops with a change media message. Unusual for
a drive with a minium of 4GB capacity. It also seems to be writing very
slowly. After the failure occurs I can no longer do anything with
/dev/st0 without removing the aha1542 module and reloading it as I get
"device not configured" errors.
When it fails the console log contains one of the following messages:
Sent BUS RESET to scsi host 0
st0: Error with sense data: [valid=0] Info fld=0x0, Current st09:00:
sense key Not Ready
or
Sent BUS RESET to scsi host 0
Additional sense indicates Power on, reset, or bus device reset occurred
Additional sense indicates Logical unit is in process of becoming ready
I am running the SCSI adapter as a module. It seems to load OK if i
insmod aha1542. It also recognises the DAT drive. When the SCSI module is
loaded it generates the following messages:
Configuring Adaptec (SCSI-ID 7) at IO:330, IRQ 11, DMA priority 5
scsi : 1 host.
Type: Sequential-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02
Detected scsi tape st0 at scsi0, channel 0, id 6, lun 0
Which all looks OK to me.
running mt -f /dev/st0 status generates
drive type = Generic SCSI-2 tape
drive status = 318767616
sense key error = 0
residue count = 0
file number = -1
block number = -1
Tape block size 512 bytes. Density code 0x13 (DDS (61000 bpi)).
Soft error count since last status=0
General status bits on (1010000):
ONLINE IM_REP_EN
The 1542b SCSI card jumpers are set to:
Sync negotiation: disabled (factory default)
SCSI Parity Bit: enabled
SCSI address: 7
DMA Channel: 5
Interrupt Channel: 11
DMA Transfer Speed: 8.0
BIOS: disabled
I/O Port Address: 0x330
BIOS Wait State: 0
BIOS Address: DC00
Floppy Support: disabled
DMA Request Channel: 5
DMA Acknowledge Channel: 5
IRQ Channel: 11
The DAT Drive is jumpered as follows:
SCSI ID: 6
Data compression: enabled
SCSI Parity: On
Terminator on: On
Terminator Power: On (I have also tried with this set to off as well)
Oh, I forgot to mention, the drive is connected internally inside my PC.
Any help would be much appreciated. I'm beginning to think the drive
doesn't like the old Adaptec card. I'd prefer not to have to go and buy a
new card if at all possible as I only really want to run this single tape
drive.
Cheers,
Sean.

yes, yes, I know it, but Trio3D works perfect in RH6.1 and even SuSE6.2,
so I installed SuSE on other drive, copy XF86Config to MDK, and...
it's suprised my like a hell, just read:
- i run "startx", monitor turn off, after 2 seconds it turn on, and KDE
starts
- KDE is slow, so I change it to icewm
- after "startx" monitor is still off
- I change icewm to KDE
- after "startx" monitor turn off, then turn on
- I change resolution (ctrl+alt+plus)
- monitor turned off
- I change again (to first resolution)
- monitor is still off
- I killed X
- after "startx" and 2 seconds monitor is on, I saw KDE
- I change to console, then change to X
- monitor is off
don't tell me it's problem with Modeline, it isn't, don't tell me I write
bad XF86Config, becouse it works with SuSE and RH, just tell me why
X works good with KDE and works bad with icewm, or englightenment? why
after changing resolution or going to console monitor is turn off forever
(to moment I kill X) ?
I install RH, then upgrade packages from MDK and I will try to find
what is bad in MDK (probably glibc)

If you installed most of the graphical goodies, there should be a mixer
hiding somewhere in your menu (down in the lower left hand corner, just
like Win95 ;)
If not, try aumix, which will run in a terminal if you installed some
kind of curses.

I don't think having too small of a root partition will hurt you, except
making you unhappy when you start running out of room on it. It's
probably pretty dangerous to resize a Linux partition with Partition
Magic, if it will even let you. The reason that hard disk size affects
Win95 is basically that Windows doesn't keep its swap file separate from
all the other data, and it can make the swap file as large as it wants,
so swapping can get in the way of other stuff. On Linux this isn't true.
Swapping shouldn't -- especially on a system like yours -- interfere too
much with overall operation. If it does, the best solution is probably
not to give more swap space, but to get more RAM. My system is just like
yours, except I've got a 10Gig hard drive, 128MB of RAM, and the space I
allocated for swap looks like it's sitting totally unused most of the
time.

I have two of those cards in my box (PCI cards), they work without
problems. The only issue i had with them was, that the BIOS configured
them to share the same IRQ, which caused the kernel to hang at boot at
the stage where the ethernet cards should be initialized. (I don't use
modules). I reconfigured my BIOS, now the whole thing is running fine.
Do you use the correct drivers? You need the "PCI NE2000 support" in
the kernel or the ne2k-pci.o module.
Which errors do you get? Be more specific.

Stefan

Actually, RedHat 6.1 was working fine, it was a hardware problem.
Because of lack of sleep with a new baby, I configured the Western
Digitial drive as a 9 pin, when it was really a 10 pin. With the wrong
DIP switch settings it didn't function correctly. :-(

Not very "user-friendly", I guess... I tried looking at this
