Hi,
I have a problem of switching on DMA on my NT(sp6) and on LINUX. On NT I can
enable DMA, but after rebooting my HD is up the shoot. So I had to reinstall
OS. On LINUX when kernel is loading it disables DMA, saying that it's not
operational or smth. like that.
Updating of the BH6's BIOS to LY didn't help. May be somebody had the same
and knows how to work around of it?
TIA
Konstantin.

Actual info on these seems to be hard to come by. Best I could do was
figure out that the video seems to be some cheesy SiS model which "shares"
8M of main memory instead of having its own memory. SiS cards under Linux
appear to cause more than their fair share of headaches. The network
adapter will probably work; Linux supports a huge number of network
adapters, even the bad ones. Sound is iffy, but the onboard sound is
probably one of the older, lower-cost chips like the ES137[13].
Since everything's onboard, upgrading will be a royal pain in the arse. I
reccommend that no Linux user buy any computer with anything integrated
onto the motherboard; too often the manufacturers toss the cheapest crap
they can on there, don't worry about quality control, and refuse to
provide any real information on the stuff they soldered on the board. If
you build a system from parts, not only will you get better-quality parts
and have more control over your system, you'll learn a few things.

When i use kPPP to connect to my ISP, it quits with an error. I can't get it
configured right...Is this because od the modem that it is giving me these
errors(it dials the number and when it waits for the signal for the OK
CONNECT itr terminates) or is it the kPPP...???

I bought one of these, and was pleasantly surprised. It is
_not_ a full-controller, 16550 imitating board. So Linux is
somewhat problematic, but being worked on.
But it _does_ have a Lucent chipset for DSP, so it is a great
deal better than HSP [host signal processing] "windows modems".
I would avoid PCI, because that make HSP feasible/likely. ISA
may be very low bandwidth (1 MByte/s) and otherwise undesirable,
but that may _help_ in this case.

Date: Sun, 19 Mar 2000 00:00:25 +0100
Hi Folks
I upgraded my memory from 64 to 128M.
(System: NMC 5VMMX Rev1.0 with K6-II-500 at 100MHz busclock, SuSE6.3
kern:2.2.13)
The old DIMM is a 100MHz and the new one is a 133MHz. After trouble of
getting
the system to boot (BIOS couldnd handle the new bar ->
bank-DIMM-combinations changed, BIOS flashed) all seems fine.
(BIOS counts the full Memory, MS DOS starts and believes having 128MB
(didnt test W95 because of the K6-bug))
When I am starting Linux it only works with the mem-option <= 64M,
higher values (or no option) cause the kernel the following:
Memory: 127680k/131072k (1240k kernel, 412k reserved, 1676k data, 64k
init, 0k
big)
kmem-alloc: Bad slab magic (corrupt) name=kmem_cache
canot create uid taskcount SLAB cache
..
I played with the BIOSsetting but nothing seems to work:
(no BIOS or VGA rom cached, AGP 2x, no DIMM autodedection, with/without
cache,
fast/slow DIMM timing, with/without paging, ..)
CAN ANYBODY HELP ME?

If you'd posted the exact error message, I think it'd be a lot easier to
diagnose the problem. Sounds like it could be an authentication problem
to me. When you start kppp, go to Setup->Accounts, select the account
you're using, "Edit" that account, and try the settings under
"Authentication". PAP and CHAP are used most often; try PAP first. Also
make sure your username and password are correct.
What happens if you try to connect using something like minicom or wvdial?

You didn't check very hard, did you? Try looking in the

Which isn't too dramatically-awful a price.
There's another relevant product: the I-Jam. It comes with two
16MB CompactFlash cards, and appears to treat them as filesystems.
16MB means about 15 minutes, so you're left swapping 'em every few
minutes, but that's solvable by bigger Flash cards.
At present, it appears that the USB CompactFlash reader isn't yet
supported on Linux, but Matthew Dharm is apparently working on it.

I have the same problem with Maxtor 94098U8 (40 GB) + P/I P55T2P4 (see
a few messages below)
the choice with the jumper enabled does not avoid the hang too :-(((
========================================================
Hi all
I have bought the HD Maxtor 94098U8 (40 GB) and have tried to install
it on my Asus P/I P55T2P4.
But there was no way to do it. (Yes, I know about the 32 GB limit and
have tried the 32 GB jumper too)
But the computer does stop at booting if the new HD is connected (I
have tried all, ,master, slave, single, LBA, none, etc.)
The MAXBLAST oder Jumpon Software does not dedekt the HD (after
bypassing the HD dedekt and switching on later)
Any hints ?
TIA=20
Sorry I have forgot something:
I have now updated the bios to the newest version (207_2) and there is
still the same problem !
I have mailed to asus support an c't hotline too. From asus I have
only got the terse answer, that this MB does not support harddisks
larger then 32 GB.
But because I think that I will not be the only one that will have
this problem because of the high spreading of the T2P4 I only can hope
that they write a newer version as soon as possible.
(For newer boards they already have done this).
Is there no way to patch the bios for myself ?=20
(I don't want to buy an extra EIDE controller for this because I have
no slots free).
I only want this big HD for Linux only and boot other OS with lilo.
(here the same in german because of my bad english):
Ich habe mir die Festplatte Maxtor 94098U8 (40 GB) gekauft und wollte

Au=DFerdem habe ich mir auch die Software MAXBLAST heruntergeladen und

Ich habe bereits alle M=F6glichkeiten zur Installation versucht (mit J46
(32 Gigabyte Jumper) gesetzt, ohne, als Master, als Slave, Single etc.

Nur die Festplatte wird einfach nie erkannt; - auch nicht von der
MAXBLAST oder Jumpon Software (wenn ich sie mittels Wechselrahmen erst
nach dem dedekt einschalte).
Wenn die HD angeschlossen ist, bleibt der Rechner beim HDD dedekt
einfach stehen.
Nun stehe ich an !

I think I'll go for the Advansys card. I don't need it to boot from HD as

Don't use bughat. Debian or suse or slackware are all much (i.e. 1000%)

And any moderately expensive super 7 board will do you just fine.
All such boards satisfy your criteria nowadays. Avoid any with

The Lucent software modem in my Compaq 1200-XL106 works fine using the
Lucent drivers from http://www.linmodems.org. See my web page at
http://www.rodsbooks.com/presario/ for details.
As a more direct answer to your question, in theory a PCMCIA modem should
work fine without conflicting with the built-in software modem. I've never
done it, though.
