HELLO ROBERT:The automount in mandrake7.0 is known to have glitches.The
best solution on setup is to uncheck the automount option and mount the
drives yourself.Of course you could after install just go to the fstab
file and take out the automount option and incert noauto.
You could replace the line with something like /dev/hdd /mnt/cdrom iso9660
noauto,nosuid,user,ro 0 0 You could also use linuxconf to change the
options.For info on mounting drives in the fstab file directly by hand go
to my site http://www.geocities.com/wrattz/linux1.html and click on the
howto's at the top right side of the page.good luck wayne!

Subject: problems with /dev/ht0
Hello,
Maybe there is someone out there having more experience with
IDE-streamers on red-hat linux.
I can access my device rather properly via /dev/ht0 and write without
problems. But when I want to reread the data tar quits with an IO-error
returned from the device driver after reading some portion of the
archive. The amount of data being reread varies from tape to tape but is
constant on one. The error message reads like this:
tar: Unexpected EOF on archive file
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
Maybe it's because I haven't formated the tapes? But I haven't found any
source on how to format a tape...
Any help would be appreciated,
Lestat

IDE (Travan) tapes are preformatted, you cannot do it.
As far as compatibility is concerned for IDE -tapedrives (which is limited

My /etc/fstab reads :
/dev/hda2 /dos auto user,ro 0 0
As I understand it, the
auto
means that the kernal should read microsoft FAT as well as the Unix FAT.
This should allow me to read all of the old windows NT files that I backed
up within the 4 gigabyte partition of the 8.1 giga hard drive of my Toshiba
Tecra 750DVD.
But when I attempt to mount the /dos partition /dev/hda2 I continually
receive the error message :
"
Kernal does not support NTFS
"
Is there a way around this using dosemu or perhaps another operating system?
So far I cannot now bypass LILO long enough to reboot with Windows 98, NT,
or 2000. The only thing that will bypass LILO is the Red Hat cdrom. Even
Caldera cdrom will not boot.
Any words of wisdom?????????
Another Toshiba problem is this. The redHat recognizes my S3 Virge display
card but will not display with the full 1024 x 780 pixels. I am left with a
palm top display.

Hi!
i have a big problem with my Ne2k PCI Card. it works fine with Windows...
But in Linux I have problems. I am using SuSE 6.1 Kernel 2.35
Trying the PCI only Ne2K driver without any parameters failed. Trying the
ISA/PCI driver without params failed. Then I tried to configure it as good
as I could, still using the ISA/PCI Ne2k (ne.c) driver. I supplied the
following options:
io= 0xE000 irq=0xB
That infos are correct (Windows runs with that setup and the packet driver
reports the same information) It is the only Network card in the system. I
�read the howtos and tried anything, that sounded interesting to me.
But it didn't work anyway.
is it possible to load the packet driver and to let Linux work through that?
I have SCO drivers (for 4.x and 5.x) on the driver disc. Can I use them?
If yes, how do I???
thanks

Partition your drive with fdisk (man fdisk). If IDE, then the second
one will be:
fdisk /dev/hdb # primary slave
or
fdisk /dev/hdc # secondary master
depending on how it's set up.
If SCSI, then:
fdisk /dev/sdb # IIRC.
Then run mkswap (man mkswap):
mkswap /dev/hdb1 # (making sure you get the right partition).
Then edit /etc/fstab so that the line:
/dev/hdb1 swap swap defaults 0 0
appears in it.
Then type:
swapoff -a
and
swapon -a

If you have a motherboard that *clocks* the FSB at 100MHz you
don't need PC-133 RAM. You only need that for a 133MHz clocked
FSB. Using PC-133 RAM doesn't provide any advantage over PC-100
RAM on a 100MHz FSB board. It gives some more room for over-
clocking or playing with memory timing setting etc, but unless
that's what you have in mind it's is a waste of money.
> I also noticed a post recommending the Gigabyte GA-7ixe at a max
> 115mhz FSB.
The GA-7IXE allows for under-clocking down to 90MHz and over-
clocking up to 115MHz. I found PC-100 sticks and even PC-66
sticks that worked reliably at 115MHz (according to memtest86).
> The FIC SD11 ($140) runs at 200mhz FSB.
No it doesn't. Their statement on the website is incorrect. The
FSB is clocked at 100MHz, as with any board using the AMD-751
north bridge. It is a property of the EV6 FSB to transmit data
twice per clock cycle, thus providing a bandwidth equaling to a
200MHz traditional (Intel) FSB. Again, this is true for all
boards using the AMD-751 chip, including the Gigabyte boards.
There is an alternative to the AMD chipset in the new(ish) VIA
KX133 chipset. Motherboards using this chipset are clocking the
FSB at 133MHz, achieving a bandwidth comparing to a 266MHz
"traditional" FSB. They will need PC-133 RAM.

I'm sure not many people have done that before, so let us know
how you go. Beowulf has been done with Alpha boards, though, so
the EV6 FSB shouldn't be the stumbling stone...
Hope this helps

You need a pretty recent version of XFree86 to work with the MVP-4
chipset. I'm using 3.3.6 (from Mandrake 7.0) successfully. I *THINK* the
appropriate support was added in 3.3.4, but that may not be correct. For
more details on my configuration of a system (a notebook) with the MVP-4
chipset, see:

Date: Sun, 16 Apr 2000 13:36:36 GMT
Hi. I have a Compaq Presario 575 (pentium-90, 16MB) that I want to set up
as a linux firewall, but none of the PCI devices get recognized by linux.
If I boot DOS, I can see the PCI devices. I saw section 9.1 of the
PCI-HOWTO (included below) which talks about this problem with the
Presarios.
Do you know how to get linux to recognize the PCI devices on this machine?
- Paul
Here's section 9.1 of the PCI-HOWTO:
============
9.1 Compaq PCI systems, especially Presarios
Patrick Yaner ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) reported a Compaq-speciality to me. It
seems they are mapping the PCI BIOS data area to an obscure area of memory,
one that Linux (or OS2) cannot access. It can usually find it, but it can't
get in, and gives a message on startup (something like "pcibios_init: entry
in high memory area, unable to access"). Although this is alright with the
display (which is on the PCI bus) and the IDE controller (also PCI), it
means any other PCI devices -- such as an Ethernet card -- cannot be
detected by Linux.
Compaq offers a driver for DOS at
ftp://ftp.compaq.com/pub/softpaq/Drivers/SP1116.ZIP
but using this with linux would mean using the program that boots linux from
DOS, instead of LILO. Note that Compaq occasionally updates the software in
this archive, so the file ftp://ftp.compaq.com/pub/softpaq/allfiles.html
(also available as allfiles.txt) might be handy in checking to see that they
haven't upgraded.
Oddly, this information can also be found in the SCSI HOWTO, although the
Pressarios come with IDE built in.

Once again, I'm not familiar with LS-120, but you are probably not
supposed to put partitions on standard floppies. Try "mke2fs /dev/hdc"
instead and see if it works better.

Which interrupt does your soundcard use? (cat /proc/interrupts) If your

Try to make your soundcard use another interrupt. Is the soundcard ISA
or PCI?
