Hey guys (and gals),
I'm going to try to install RedHat Linux on an old system that I have.
The system is a dual pentium motherboard with 100mhz cpu's with 64MB of
RAM, a Maxtor 2GB drive, CD ROM and floppy drive. Is there anything
else I need? Will RedHat install recognize the dual processors?? Is
there any preparation I need to do on the hard drive???
Thanks.

Are there SMP Athlon boards? AFAIK, this is not available yet.

The modules you'll require are the parport modules (parport, parport_pc,
and lp), the parallel-CD modules (pcd and pg) and the module for the
specific protocol your drive uses over the port (probably epat.) The
HOWTO referenced above can tell you all the steps you'll need to take.
Good luck.

Hi.
I have a Compaq Deskpro, on which I'm running RedHat Linux.
I would like to upgrade from an 8 bit to a 16 bit video card. (I'm
finding that many of my X-windows apps are competing for the few
colors provided by my 8-bit card.) What video card(s) do you
recommend? Can you give me URLs for same?
Thanks.

Thanks for the suggestion. I was just about to go through all emulations
but I realized I cannot change the keyboard at all neither Linux Config in
KDE X will change it nor /usr/sbin/kbdconfig in terminal mode. I also
tried logging out, then also a total shutdown after I had changed the
keyboard setting but nothing had changed....????
Any step I am missing here to change the keyboard?

Did I miss to adjust the permissions on one of the print files to enable
any user (not root) to use the printer?
When I log in as root all is fine. As soon as I log in under a different

Strange is also that the queue is not enabled but lpd works under

You don't have to worry about it. As long as you enable sharing interrupt
in building the kernel, both devices will show up in the same interrupt
line. Actually, I think that the AGP port is on a separate bus and is
sharing the same IRQ with the rest. Most of the devices are using IRQ 10 or
11. Properly compiled kernel will handle it fine. All the device drivers
are available at http://linnix.com.

Try a "mt status" ..... from memory it should come back "block 0, file

Hi Thomas,
your question is really very intresting for me. I have WinTV-radio model
401.
I didn't had any problem till now except that remote control does not
work
in Linux. But you question is about WinTV-DVB. From description of this
card
I understood that it has same components like my TV card and plus
DIGITAL
MPEG2 VIDEO DECODER. I didn't see any information about support of this
decoder and I guess that it not supported yet (but this feature should
be
available as it great).
So, I guess that you will able use it to receive normal TV - through
antenna and cable, but you will not able to accept digital signal as
decoder
not supported yet. Best what you can do at the moment - try to write a
message to author of driver - and ask him this question - just because
nobody knows this software so well as he.
From my point of view it should not be too complicated to modify
original
software to support this feature as it should be matter only changing of
state few registers but main question about documentation "How to do
that".
Main problem of Linux community is that manufacture of hardware do not
provide documentation and keep it in secret. Very many drivers has been
developed by reverse engineering and it was very succesfull as Linux
drivers
sometimes much better than original for Windows. But hardware become
more and more complicate and reverse engineering become more difficult
as well.
NOTE: If you will get any usefull information please, email me.

Subject: Can't receive packets
Date: Thu, 08 Jun 2000 17:15:57 GMT
I have a basic RedHat 6.2 install and have tried two NICs with no
luck. The cards are a 3c905B (ISA) and a Generic 10/100 (PCI) that
uses the VIA-RHINE module. Both cards load and acquire resources and
show up as installed (with ifconfig). The problem is that neither will
receive packets. Both will send but get no response with ping.
The PCI card uses irq 11 and /proc/interrupts shows that the card is
generating interrupts.
Both cards do work on win-boxes so the card are functional. I have
swapped and tested the cable.
Please help...

I'm trying to develop a device driver for an Emulex Xp (and DCP486p) series
synchronous serial card for Linux v2.2.6. I hope to see the code make it
on to an interesting project like the Linux Router Project, but right now
it has some problems.
My biggest problem is that my routine for servicing interrupts generates a
kernel fault. The routine is simple and only tries to write a message to
KERN_INFO. See below for information from various sources...
The sources are based on information from Rubini's _Writing Linux Device
Drivers_ and from various sources on the web including Becker's _skeleton.c_
and the Linux Documentation Project's _Device Drivers_.
Thanks for any help!!!

static void dcpInterruptService(int irq, void *dev_id, struct pt_regs *regs)

printk(KERN_INFO "Servicing Interrupt %02d.\n", irq);
}
And the lines I used to request the interrupt is:

"Emulex DCP/Xp", &devSerial[0]))
// NOTE, has also been tried with NULL in argument #5!!!
printk("failed.\n");
else
printk("installed.\n");
NOTE: the actual requested irq is 11. The output from /proc/interrupts shows
that the routine is registered properly, but something this simple fails --
and I do not understand why!!!

Hi again,
Thanks for answering my last question. The new one:
I now have both ATA66-devices at the primary-channel, the two cd-drives at
the secondary.
Although I�m sure that the chipset goes with UDMA66, benchmarking the drives
results in a maximum-transfer-rate of only 30MB/s.
I switched the drives to UDMA and also tried a lot of benchmark-progr.s,
always with the same result (or lower).
I got a further SCSI-drive via AHA2940U-adapter, but I don�t think that got
sth. to with it... (Why should it?)
What could be the reason for that again?
Hope I don�t knock on your nerves,
Thanks

results in a maximum-transfer-rate of only 30MB/s.
I switched the drives to UDMA and also tried a lot of benchmark-progr.s,
always with the same result (or lower).
I got a further SCSI-drive via AHA2940U-adapter, but I don�t think that got
sth. to with it... (Why should it?)
What could be the reason for that again?
Hope I don�t knock on your nerves,
Thanks
