not much per se, but maybe there's a similar type gizmo for your

might be worth something.

i am reading/posting from out of comp.os.linux.hardware.
the other newsgroups being generic ibmpc derived hardware are not
necessarily non-linux.

Involves a kernel patch to get it going as UDMA66. You might try BIOS
settings to step it back and see what happens in the meantime.

I've seen this 'ide=' suggestion but if the ide
controller is running the CDROM drives I don't
see how it's helpful since if it can see your hd
then it won't see the CDROMS anymore(at least
to my way of thinking) since the addresses for the
CDROM controller with be wrong, so you won't be
able to install anyway. I don't see how Linux can
install to a hard drive without the driver when NT
doesn't even recognize it unless you load the
Promise(in my case) Ultra66 Dma NT driver.
It doesn't make sense.

no 'pci' is created under /proc,
so it's just not there. All I get is
/proc/partitions
which shows partitions on hde
but
fdisk /dev/hde says

Maybe both. Is this a UDMA66 capable drive? The BadCRC might be
something like a cable too long, or bad cable. More than likely it is an
incompatibility with the kernel drivers and drive mode. You might play
with DMA settings in the BIOS. But, probably worth trying Andre Hedricks
ide patch. Check kernel mirrors under people/hedrick.
I don't recall the exact errors I had, but if this is not it, it was
very similar on a ATA66 WD anytime I tried 'hdparm -d1'. The above
patch, and trying different kernel configs finally got it going. In my
case it ran fine if I didn't try to force it into DMA, but was dog slow.

Problems using cdrecord 8.1 with a new Richo MP7060S burner on RedHat
6.1
Cdrecord Seg Faults when it comes to "Initalising OPC" - it works OK if
I do a test burn because OPC isn't initalised then. Cdrecord 6.1 works
fine. Found this in the changelog for 8.1
"- Added send_opc routine to driver interface. This was needed because
of a Firmware bug in the Ricoh 7040 and 7060 drives. The MMC standad
requires that a drive will automatically perform OPC but the Ricoh
drives don't do this."
Thinking that because my 7060 is a new one mayby Richo fixed the
firmware bug and automatically init's OPC - causing cdrecord to crash
when it tries to do it again. Sound reasonable ??
Any ideas on how to fix this ???

true, I forgot; I could also have mentioned the Voodoo2, which has had
3D acceleration for a long time, and can still be a cheap adjunct to a
cheap non 3D card one already has. But then I don't like the 16 bit only
limitation that both Voodoo3 and Voodoo2 cards have.
BTW, I have just discovered something that changes a bit my assessment
of the Linux video card situation, and in particular of the Voodoo
cards:
http://WWW.XFree86.org/4.0/RELNOTES2.html#12
XFree86> This release provides a complete implementation of direct
XFree86> rendering support for the 3Dfx Banshee and Voodoo3 graphics
XFree86> cards. Additional direct rendering drivers will be available
XFree86> for 3Dfx, Intel, ATI and Matrox boards during the second
XFree86> quarter of 2000.
So the XFree86 release notes do not mention as supported for 3D
acceleration the NVidia chipsets. Now, this may be because NVidia have
been dragging their feet about supporting open source, or whatever.
But this in my mind makes NVidia chips a definite no-buy for Linux; they
have gone from cards with the best ``provisional'' (non DRI GLX) 3D
support for Linux to not even being on the map.
As to the Voodoo cards, they are interesting, even if the 16 bit
limitation is really a bit retro. Also, like some other cards, one
shoulds be careful about the 3000 and in articuar the 3500, because some
motherboards do not supply enough power to run them in 3D mode.

Uhhhmmmm, interesting, but that "acceptably" may be a bit too
optimistic. Even a TNT2 is only just about there (with non DRI GLX).

AFAIK, all of Gateway's Telepath-series modems from 33.6 and below are

I think there bug in Red Hat 6.1. I had the same problem on a HP
Netserver E-60. Red Hat 6.0 saw the parallel port fine, so did
Mandrake 7.0. I needed Red Hat 6.1 so I install 6.0 first and then did
a upgrade to 6.1. Hope this help.
