Subject: Sound card config problem
Date: Wed, 12 Jul 2000 19:15:36 GMT
I'm having a problem getting my sound card (Creative Labs Sound Blaster
16C PnP) to work on my system (Debian Linux. Kernel 2.2.14. Dell
Dimension XPS T550). this machine is a dual boot NT/Linux. Sound works
perfectly in NT. The soundcard properties that the Audio device in NT
was set up with indicate that the following ports should be OK for use
with soundcard: IO=0x330, 0x388; DMA=anything but 03; IRQ=anything but
10. Using this information i have been trying to get sound up in Linux.
After doing a pnpdump into /etc/isapnp.conf, I uncommented what seemed
to be the appropriate lines for this sound card.
My /etc/isapnp.conf basically now reads:
################################
# (DEBUG)
(READPORT 0x0273)
(ISOLATE PRESERVE)
(IDENTIFY *)
(VERBOSITY 2)
(CONFLICT (IO FATAL)(IRQ FATAL)(DMA FATAL)(MEM FATAL)) # or WARNING

# ANSI string -->Creative ViBRA16C PnP<--

# Logical device decodes 16 bit IO address lines
(IO 2 (SIZE 4) (BASE 0x0388))
# End dependent functions
(NAME "CTL0070/-1[0]{Audio }")
(ACT Y)
))
################################
I issue 'isapnp /etc/isapnp.conf' and I get the following out:
Board 1 has Identity e5 ff ff ff ff 70 00 8c 0e: CTL0070 Serial No -1
[checksum e5]
CTL0070/-1[0]{Audio }: Port 0x388; IRQ5 DMA1 DMA5
---Enabled OK
No errors, this is good. But then I issue 'modprobe sb io=0x0388 irq=5
dma=1 dma16=5' (sb being the driver that I think is most appropriate for
my card) and I get:
/lib/modules/2.2.14/misc/sb.o: init_module: Device or resource busy
Hint: this error can be caused by incorrect module parameters,
including invalid IO or IRQ parameters
/lib/modules/2.2.14/misc/sb.o: insmod /lib/modules/2.2.14/misc/sb.o
failed
/lib/modules/2.2.14/misc/sb.o: insmod sb failed
I've tried many many different values for IRQ and DMA following the
"Hint" advice - but i still get the same damn error mesgs! When I do an
lsmod I get:
Module Size Used by
soundcore 2372 0 (autoclean)
lockd 30632 1 (autoclean)

ntfs 33640 0 (unused)
msdos 5276 0 (unused)
fat 28800 0 [msdos]
3c59x 18336 1
No other sound drivers are running as far as i can tell (soundcore
should not cause a conflict, right?)
What could be the problem?! Any ideas?!?!

Hi there,
Does anybody know if there will be CISCO 200 ISDN (ISA) support for Linux in
the near future ?
I have recently upgraded to RH6.2, loads of ISDN cards supported, but NOT
this perticular one.
And if it will be suppported: channel bundling would come in handy as well.
Thanks for your answers,

Hi Gavin,

I tied it and it works but slow. Sound is bad and video slow (I have Matrox
G400, XFree86 3.3.6 - need update to 4.0.1, no DRX3, PIII 350MHz, 128MB, SB
AWE64). You are more lucky as you have DRX3 and player which you will find
through webpage suppouse to support it. I would glad to know "How does it run
on your system?". But keep in mind that player is beta and will crash time to

Hi there,
as this drive is SCSI you don't need driver for it as SCSI supported.
Make "lsmod" and check for "st" module. If it is not there make
modprobe st
check again that it loaded through "lsmod" if it loaded make
mt -f /dev/nrst0 stat
you should get answer from driver about state of you tapedrive.

Subject: How does /dev/[n]ht0 work?
Date: Wed, 12 Jul 2000 20:11:14 +0000
I recently bought and installed a 10 ("20" :-) Gigabyte HP IDE travan
tape tape drive, and somewhat to my surprise when I tried
cp big.file /dev/nht0
followed by
mt -f /dev/nht0 rewind
cp /dev/nht0 big.file1
what came out was the same as what went in.
However, I would like a bit more background information about how the
/dev/[n]ht0 driver works, so any pointers to info would be appreciated.
The sort of things I'd like to know include:
1. When /dev/nht0 writes to a pre-formatted tape, does it write into the
pre-formatted blocks, or does it ignore those blocks and write raw blocks
onto the tape? Can /dev/nht0 write to an _unformatted_ tape?
2. What is an "EOF mark", such as is written by "mt -f /dev/nht0 eof"?
Does /dev/nht0 support this thing?
3. Does "mt -f /dev/nht0 erase" erase the formatting from a (possibly
written to) pre-formatted tape, or does it merely splurge each data block
with a rubout pattern?
4. (probably this is the same as my question 1) does the -b (block-size)
option in tar have any effect whilst using this driver?
5. How does the driver know that my tape drive is installed as the slave
on the second IDE channel (i.e. in the /dev/hdd slot)? If I were to
install a second such drive (say, to copy tapes directly), would creating
a second device node /dev/nht1 with major/minor device numbers 37/129 (or
something) be the way to talk to it?
Thanks in advance.

VA builds good boxes. I've worked on them from afar, and I've recommended
them for a major initiative we're about to launch. Some of the things they
do to tweak the software package installed is brilliant to the point of
"Duh!" (as in, "why didn't *I* think of that?!).
$855 isn't bad. You could probably build it yourself for that much, but the
headache factor would be considerably greater. (I lived on a Linux
shoestring for a long time, building and rebuilding Celerons, P166MMX's,
etc. It was fun when it was the only option. Now that I have the ability
to simply order systems, guess what I do?)

Red Hat's pretty conservative when it comes to hardware
recommendations. Personally, I've had no Linux-related problems with my
system based on the ASUS K7M. This is a first-generation Athlon board,
though, and it may have been discontinued now in favor of the K7V. Most
of the first-generation Athlon boards were a little on the flaky side,
but the K7M's been quite good for me. I gather the second-generation
Athlon boards that are now much more common are also more reliable, on
the whole, than the first-generation products -- not surprising, since
they're more mature.

If you are using, or would like to use, a graphical login screen then check out the
gdm package (Gnome Display Manager) which is an xdm like application that by
default starts a GNOME session but allows other session types to be chosen from

Not without more information.
If you generally run only a single program, you'll see only a small
improvement. This is because a single-tasked program will only run on
a single CPU. The only thing the other CPU will be doing is taking
care of background processes, which typically consume very little CPU
time.
If you typically run one or more heavy-duty programs at once, or use
multi-tasked programs, you could see a huge speedup, much larger than
you'd get from a P3-1K.

Well, obviously the dual setup's going to be faster.
> Does Win98 / NT support dual processors properly? What about Linux?
WinNT and Win2K do, as does Linux. 2K Pro will scale up to 2 CPUs, 2K
Server to 4, 2K Advanced Server to 16 (?), and 2K Enterprise Server to
more. I don't know NT's limits. I think Linux is currently limited
to some value - 16? - but it will definitely handle 2 CPUs without a
problem.
Win98 will run on an SMP board, but will only use one CPU.

Well, I've heard figures from 20% speedup to 80% speedup, and the
reason is that it totally depends on your software. Servers tend to
get better results because they do a lot of things at once. Home
machines get worse results because nearly all Windows programs are
single-tasked. The good ones (like Adobe Photoshop) scale *real*
well, but the average home user doesn't use any of that stuff.

Also worth mentioning: SuSE had a live-filesystem CD as part of their
CD set in the 5.x days. Nowadays it is dropped due to space-contraints
I think, BUT; it is still available for download off their ftp site,
at least I think I saw it there (iso). This will give you a really
full-fledged linux dist, running off a ramdisk and the CD as live
filesystem. Neat.

Redhat 6.2 and Suse 6.4 to work with my card. There was a change in
the
es1371.o module some time around the RH 6.1 release time. This was per
RH.
When I ran the OSS drivers I didn`t try out the MIDI.

Subject: List of Compatable Hardware
From: B+Dcouple <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Date: Wed, 12 Jul 2000 17:46:31 -0700
Anyone know where I can find a list of Linux compatable hardware.
I'm going to set up and older PC ( 75mhz) as a Linux system and I
need to know what works and what doesn't. I also need to get some
more components for it.
Thanks
