Dear Noble Pepper
Thank you for for your advice. I tried unsuccessfully to find XF86Config
backup and I could not successfully edit the original. So, I did what any
hardened Windows user does, I collapsed the Linux partition and reinstalled.
Do enjoy your weekend.

Hi, I have a Diamond Supra Express 33.6 internal modem.
It is an Eisa modem so should work under Linux.
I am running Mandrake Linux 7.0 (2.2.14-15mdk)
but it isn't being recognised. What am I doing wrong?
Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi,
I just bought Redhat 6.2 and did a clean install and all my hard is
supported by the operating system.
But during automatic and manual sound configuration I get a message that
says, "The following error occurred running the ISAPNP program:
/etc/isapnp.conf: 203--Fatal -IO range check attempted while device
activated." This error shows up during the sound test and therefore, I
am
unable to configure the Yamaha OPL3-SAx sound card. Any suggestions
would help.

You can connect them directly to your server or buy a simple

So just last night someone mailed me with the tip that this "PS"
printer is in fact just the same PCL3 device with Adobe PressReady
bundled. AFAIK, this is the first time HP has sold a "Postscript"
printer with a software ps implementation.
I've updated my website to reflect this.
If you're not stuck on HP (which, to be honest, produces essentially
no perfectly Linux compatibile inkjet printers), there are a number of
well-supported offerings from Epson, and a few older models in the
Canon line.

What kind of hardware are you adding inside of a laptop? Kudzu is not
going to pay any attention to pcmcia. I doubt if it would pay attention
to USB, but I don't have any USB devices. Normal drives are automatically
recognized by the kernel when you boot, but I don't know about hot
swappable drives.

You might want to get alsa 0.5.8b or latest version because ymfpci has
been updated since the initial 0.5.8 came out. The only problem I had
with 0.5.8b is that playmidi does not work, but I do not know if I need
some sort of alias in /etc/conf.modules to tell it to use opl3 for that.
Also if you have not updated pcmcia-cs from the version that come with
your Linux, you may want to. The versions that came with RH 6.1 and
Mandrake 7.0 would not properly set a modem irq.
I did notice that when I had my laptop (Sony F450) set up with the Alsa
driver, that pcmcia would only double beep for cards that were in during
boot. If I added or ejected a card after that, there was no beep, but the
card still worked.
Everything works fine (and somewhat simpler) with the opensound.com
drivers (with Yamaha YMF option) that I got before Alsa had ymfpci.

Took that same exam without any formal training, scored very highly. I
don't think it measures real knowledge in a concrete way, since taking a
multiple-choice test != bashing at config files and SCSI chains. It might
be useful as a basic indicator of competence.
The RHCE has a real-world component to it, and would be a better
indication of whether a person is clueful or not. Still, the RHCE's a tad
expensive.
The only real value the Brainbench cert has is whatever value a
prospective or current employer puts on it.

In my case it insisted on detecting the (external) modem. I disabled kudzu
because I got tired of having it interrupt the boot process to ask me
questions when the modem was on(off) whereas it had been off(on) the last
time I'd turned the machine on :-)

#1. I got a Modem Riser, which is not really a modem.
It comes with a Windows 98 driver. Does anybody knows
how to get it work under linux ?
#2.I have a built-in sound card on the motherboard.
I can get it work. The command "cat /dev/sndstat" shows that
it's a 8bit sound card. But it's really a 16bit card.
And the volume is so low that I almost can hear nothing even
if I turn the volume of the speaker to maximum.
Anybody met similar problem ?
Thanks.

Subject: Promise Ultra66 Controller
Date: Fri, 07 Jul 2000 19:49:15 +0100
I have recently purchased an Ultra66 controller from Promise. A Quantum
Fireball lm 20.5 is running off it. I have a Quantum EL 5.1, running off
the primary mainboard eide, with Linux and Win95 in a dual boot
configuration. This setup works fine without the ata controller.
When I connect the Quantum LM to the controller, windows crashes just
after loading, and Linux does the same when loading the Linux drivers;
the whole system, freezes irretrievably. Also when a drive is connected
to the controller my system will not read a dos/win95 boot disk, but
will read my linux ones. Both disk are set to master. I think It might
be a conflict but I don't know how to proceed.
I have a three year old system with award bios v 6.17J900, with a s3
virge graphics card, a Soundblaster 16 and an unbranded isa modem.
Any help will be gratefully received,
Thanks,

Or you can pass a hardware parameter to the kernel, eg through LILO.
Although if you're gonna use it a lot probably best if you do, and get a
quicker kernel as well (over standard install ones).

My Dell box (an old Dimension XPS Pro 200n with BIOS A06) has two settings for
the on-board IDE:
auto -- disables on-board IDE when an add-in card is detected
off -- disables on-board IDE permanently
On this box there seems to be no way to use the onboard IDE and an add-in card
simultaneously. Dell's support people might be able to provide more help for
your specific BIOS so contact them.

Date: Fri, 7 Jul 2000 20:30:03 +0100
I'm pretty much a Linux newcomer and having got a basic system up and
running now want to back the thing up. So I've fitted a 20gig HP
Colorado tape drive to it, downloaded a demo version of BRU and tried
backing it up. Initially, things looked okay, the tape was recognized by
the BIOS, then by Linux booting up, I tried a couple of 'mt' commands
these also appeared to work, and BRU in fact did appear to write some
data to the tape. But it doesn't seem to want to read it back and in
fact the 'messages' log appears to be full of 'ide-tape' errors. I don't
know if anyone can shed some light on this or what information is needed
(using SuSE 6.4). Initially I do this:
$ dmesg
hda: FUJITSU MPE3136AT, ATA DISK drive
hdb: CD-540E, ATAPI CDROM drive
hdc: HP COLORADO 20GB, ATAPI TAPE drive
ide0 at 0x1f0-0x1f7,0x3f6 on irq 14
ide1 at 0x170-0x177,0x376 on irq 15
hda: FUJITSU MPE3136AT, 13031MB w/512kB Cache, CHS=1661/255/63
hdb: ATAPI 40X CD-ROM drive, 128kB Cache
Uniform CDROM driver Revision: 2.56
ide-tape: hdc <-> ht0: HP COLORADO 20GB rev 4.01
ide-tape: hdc: overriding capabilities->speed (assuming 650KB/sec)
ide-tape: hdc: overriding capabilities->max_speed (assuming 650KB/sec)
ide-tape: hdc <-> ht0: 650KBps, 13*32kB buffer, 6336kB pipeline, 100ms
tDSC
seems to indicate its found it, no errors. Then:
$ mt -V
GNU mt version 2.4.2
$ mt -f /dev/ht0 status
drive type = Generic SCSI-2 tape
drive status = 512
sense key error = 0
residue count = 0
file number = 0
block number = 0
Tape block size 512 bytes. Density code 0x0 (default).
Soft error count since last status=0
General status bits on (0):
I don't know if this info is correct but it looks okay, certainly don't
get anything if there is no tape in the drive.... But then running this
again:
$ dmesg
ide-tape: ht0: I/O error, pc = 1e, key = 5, asc = 20, ascq = 0
ide-tape: ht0: I/O error, pc = 1e, key = 5, asc = 20, ascq = 0
implies that it aint quite working after all. Any help gratefully
appreciated.
