Just a quick note in this vein, there was an announcement
a short while back on comp.os.linux.announce about a new
USENET newsgroup that may interest the original poster of
this thread. The group is comp.os.linux.embedded, and it's
apparently just starting up. It might be something you'd
want to check into.

Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I have Redhat 6.1 installed on a Toshiba Tecra 8100, however when
booting kudzu has decided not to detect new hardware. After doing some
digging around I found that hwconf was corrupted. So I copied this from
an identical configured system. Rebooted and still the same results. So
I am lost at what to do next to resolve this, so any suggestions would
be greatly received.
The other problem I have is configuring sound on the above laptop,
I managed to get sound to work using alsa 0.5.8, and promptly on
rebooting to test, pcmcia wouldn't start up, but I had sound.
Now for some reason pcmcia is back, but now sound won't work! I get
that the device is busy. I thought it might be a conflict between pcmcia
and the sound hardware (ymfpci) but I can use both together no problem
under Windoze98. So please could you help on this as well?
If you could copy answers to my e-mail, as the work newsgroup feed only
picks up once a day.
Thanks
Darren

There are scsi tape devices listed in /dev (st0,st1, etc). but if i
use an mt command with any of the device names listed, it says NO
DEVICE FOUND.
I went to my kernel configurator and there is a scsi host adaptor
listed in the module list. But how do i deterine if tape support is
compiled in and how do I check to see if added to my scsi chain. I
tried using makedev and it indicated that wasn't a valid command.

Subject: Promise FastTrak 100
Date: 7 Jul 2000 14:47:31 GMT
I just bought a Promise FastTrak 100 after seeing that the new 100 card is
supported in 2.4. So I unwrap my nice new box and plunk it in. Mandrake
wouldn't even install. Figuring that the card just didn't work with 2.2, I took
it out and installed 'drake on a dinky 2gb seagate (SLOW seagate) then built
2.4 with the reiserfs patch.
With the 2.2 kernel installed where I could see what happened, I put the card
back in. I booted the kernel. It'd see my on-board ide controller fine
(standard 2 channels). Then freeze - hard freeze - push the power button for 5
seconds freeze. No messages or anything.
With the 2.4 kernel, it'd see the on-board ide controller AND the PDC20267
cards. It did its "ide.c" part of the initialization -
PDC20267: Chipset revision 2
PDC20267: Not 100% native mode: will probe irqs later
Then paused for about a secondd, then the "pdc202xx.c" part of the init -
PDC20267: (U)DMA Burst bit enabled Primary MASTER mode Secondary MASTER mode
Then:
PDC20267: neither IDE port enabled (BIOS)
and the same old dead freeze. Nothing further.
I've tried various kernel parameters to no avail. I DID boot to DOS and
fdisk/format the array and it worked fine. All result in the same freeze. Any
ideas or suggestions? I feel like I am missing a small detail to fix
everything, but a deja/altavista search and reading the driver sources didn't
reveal anything that worked. Am I on crack? Is this just not supported yet
even though the chipset is?
Thanks,
Baron.

Unfortunately, that also doesn't work - the site lists the 3150 with a
red cross - meaning: doesn't work at all (paperweight).
That'll teach me to beleive "LaserJet" will work because so many
laserjets are supported.
In fact, I'm leaning towards consumer action here - apparently, HP wants
us to believe that these devices are somehow "of the same family" of
other laserjets, but they use a completely different protocol (A
protocol that HP, according to the web site, wants to keep secret, so
there is not even a remote chance that this printer will *ever* work on
Linux).
Where's Ralf Nader when you need him ;-)
(Perhaps just requiring all non-conformant manufacturers to stamp a
large Penguin with a red cross through it as a sign that "this device
doesn't work with Linux and we're not gonna change that" is enough :-)

I'm not familiar with that motherboard, but motherboards per se seldom
cause problems. Most or all Adaptec SCSI adapters are supported.

This will probably be fine. You can get by with less expensive models
(Linksys, NDC SOHOware, Netgear, D-Link, and others all make boards that
work well with Linux but cost less than a typical 3Com board).
> Cable, RJ-45 twisted pair (specs?)
For 100Mbps, you need Category 5 (aka "Cat5") cables. You also need a
hub or switch to link the computers together. A switch will produce
better performance, but will cost a bit more.
> Graphics card: ? (suggestions please)
For a dedicated server, get something cheap. Just about anything will
work in text mode, and most inexpensive boards will work in graphics
mode (for X). You can check at http://www.xfree86.org or any Linux
distribution's web site for lists of supported boards.
> SCSI CD-ROM drive: ? (suggestions please)
Unless you plan to use the CD-ROM drive pretty heavily, you may want to
save a few bucks and get an cheap IDE model (any drive will work). If
you do lots of CD-ROM-intensive stuff, get the one with the highest
speed you can find. I've heard that some of the multi-beam models don't
work well with Linux, though. If you do digital audio extraction (DAE;
creating .wav files from audio CDs), Plextor models have an excellent
reputation for doing flawless or near-flawless DAE.

None of this should pose any problems, with the possible exception of
printer #2; I've simply not heard of it. Check
http://www.picante.com/~gtaylor/pht/printer_list.cgi for printer
compatibility information.
FWIW, I've got a book on Linux hardware that's coming out in about two

Just asking before spending (what is for me) a fortune on this laptop. I
need to run X, accelerated. The XFree86 website says the chips included
in this machine are supported.
This will be my first notebook computer. I recall reading in some linux
discussions over the past few years that the biggest problem with
notebooks was the graphics. So I feel I'm safe on that front...but are
there any other problems?
Linux.com hardware compatibility lists some other Toshiba notebooks, but
not this one in particular.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

What does it say on boot? Looking in /var/log/messages.? mine says the
following. It detects the SCSI controller, three disks, and the DAT
drive:
scsi0 : Adaptec AHA274x/284x/294x (EISA/VLB/PCI-Fast SCSI) 5.1.28/3.2.4

(scsi0:0:3:0) Synchronous at 10.0 Mbyte/sec, offset 32.
Vendor: HP Model: C1537A Rev: L708
Type: Sequential-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02
This last entry is my SCSI DAT drive. Seeing this I know that it sees
the DAT on the SCSI chain. Later in the boot sequence it says:
Detected scsi tape st0 at scsi0, channel 0, id 3, lun 0
which tells me that the tape is ready to go. This was all off of the
stock RedHat install. I personally didn't have to diddle with anything.

The kernel is not the problem. The problem is glibc, which can be
upwards
of 10-15 megs all by itself.
Look for an embedded Linux distribution. Everyone and his brother is
releasing one these days. Lineo's Embedix is a good example - based on
Caldera OpenLinux 2.3. An absolute minimal configuration can be under
3 megs with Embedix.
