This may seem like a rather amateurish question but have you tried
installing from a CD or downloading the packages, creating a boot floppy,
and installing that way instead of using a network install?

It sounds like you might have some kind of hardware problem.
I have a Dual PIII with a SCSI and 3 IDE drives. I use 2.2.13 and 2.2.14
with SMP
No problem.
Lately I went to 2.4-test1 also no problem.

Are you booting from a floppy or the hard drive??? I'm confused.
You seem to indicate that it loads to a point and then fails. What do you

I don't think Celerons were intended to be used for SMP machines. Maybe
Intel finally did

IMO, it's not worth the effort. And I'd never trust any system that
involves pumping water through my computer. All it takes is one little
leak, or a drip from condensation, and you've got a fried motherboard.
Second, the plastic tubing that is used with fish-tank pumps won't
exchange heat very well. You're going to need something meatlic.
Perhaps copper tubing. This isn't easy to work with, and you may have a
hard time fitting it onto your fish pump.
And once you've got cold metal in your computer, you've got
condensation. You're going to need a way to keep it from dripping on
your electronics.
If your goal is to keep the computer cool, look into an extra fan. Make
sure your heat sinks are all attached with thermal compound. Consider
an active cooler (like the Peltier units).
If your goal is to keep the room cool, I suggest you buy an air
conditioner for the room. Put it in the window and turn it on when it
gets hot out. (Make sure you've got a 20-amp outlet nearby, however.
Don't put it on the same circuit with your computer - air conditioners
create power surges when they turn on.)

You're broke, but you're going to be buying a new computer in a month or
two? Take the money for that new computer and spend it on an A/C unit.
You'll be much happier in the long run.
Sure, your scheme is cheap, but I don't think it will work well, and
there is the very real possibility of dripping water onto your
motherboard, which will ruin it. If you get the parts and do the work
needed to make the water-cooling system work, you're probably going to
find it too expensive anyway.

You aren't talking about the same systems. Data General and ALR are two

Doubtful. No PC manufacturer will be able to mass-market a system that
requires a plumber to run a water/drain line to your desktop in order to
cool the computer.
It's even less likely that anyone could mass-market a system that
requires the user to change an ice bucket every few hours.

OK. I spoke too soon. I just went to DG's site.
They used to be workstations based on the Motorola 88K that could only
run DG's version of UNIX (DG-UX) See http://www.tlc4u.com/dg.main.htm
for what remains in the way of tech support for this architecture.
Today's models appear to be Intel P3/Xeon-based systems with custom SMP
chips to allow ludicrous numbers of processors. (Up to 1024 on one of
their systems.) They claim support for WinNT, Win2K, DG/UX and SCO
UnixWare. I assume that WinNT, Win2K and SCO are customized versions,
since Intel's generic SMP chipset only supports up to 8 processors.

But I take it that it's not a serial port modem?
I'd like to know of a winmodem that operates entirely on a serial

Hi all -
I'm working with an Epson SC740, kernel version 2.2.16, and I've run into
something of a wall:
The print daemon is running, the parallel support module is loaded, and yet
my printer refuses to print. Output redirected to /dev/lp0 produces no
response, but no error messages either. The cable is fine, the printer is
fine.
Just for kicks I tried running the APSFilter config (don't know why this
would work if > /dev/lp0 wouldn't) - same deal, no error message, and no
printing.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance -
-Eric

Hey Brian,
I just received a 2400 yesterday preloaded with Linux and configured
with onboard Intel nic, dual 600/133 coppermines, 320 MB, and onboard
RAID mirroring 9 GB. I didn't like Dell's install of linux because it
had way to much extra stuff installed so instead of removing it and
wondering if I got it all, I blew it away and did a fresh install.
I used a stock downloaded and burned copy of Redhat 6.2 and the
Dell driver disk for the RAID, didn't have any problems. Here's what
you do:
1) Grab PRC2dd21.zip from Dell's site, it's the disk image for the
Redhat driver disk. Use rawrite from the cdrom:\dosutils directory
to write it to floppy.
2) Boot the 2400 off the redhat cd, F3, expert
3) Provide the disk when it asks.
4) The tricky part is next, you'd think that your driver disk was just
used but it wasn't!! So when expert setup pops up the screen that
says add hardware or whatever, you have to add scsi controller and
choose "Percraid" from the list! Then add the internal Intel NIC
too.
5) That should get your disks online so you can do the rest of the
setup.
6) After installation, you'll want to get the rh62pr2.zip file and
rh62ret.zip file from Dell and put them on your linux box somehow.
Use the rh62ret.zip to upgrade your kernel and associated files,
like pcmcia, icbs, source, headers, etc. I chose to use the
2.2.14-6.1.1smp kernel although it has one newer kernel version on
there. The reason is that I had bad stability problems with
2.2.14-12 on another dual cpu box running an Intel NIC when high
network usage was present. The 6.1.1smp kernel works fine for me.
After that upgrade, but BEFORE rebooting, force the rpm install of
the file in the rh62pr2.zip so your perc drivers will be updated
for the new kernel.
7) Reboot, cross your fingers, and you're done. I did this pretty
easily and the server is working fine now. One thing I did notice,
and anyone feel free to give me some ideas on why, is that when the
disks are under heavy usage, the console becomes extremely slow,
even for cpu bound processes that don't do much i/o. For example,
I started bonnie (a disk benchmarking program) and while it was
hammering the disks, I started top, but it took quite some time for
top to come up on my dual-600 box... I don't think that should be.
Good luck,
Dave

Hi,
it could be a dip switches matter, check next webpages and I hope that the
problem will be resolved.
But keep in mind that standard "mt" command also has options to switch
compression on and of.
Drive itself also has dip switches - enable compression and switch
compression on at power on.
In short words just go and read this documentation and you will know your
drive better. It was a day
when I connect it to SunStation and WindowsNT and I had same question - and
this pages really help
to find that for PC and Sun dip switches should be in diffrent positions.
