The drivers for more common soundcards are included in the oss (open
sound system) module. Drivers for more exotic soundcards (especially
onboard sound chips)can be found here:
http://www.4front-tech.com/
They have a list of soundcards for wich they developed drivers,
unfortunately you have to pay ): for the drivers (but they work as I
experienced with a Yamaha 744 soudchip)

RedHat 6.2 distributes an old version of LILO. The latest is 21.4.4,
available from
ftp://metalab.unc.edu/pub/Linux/system/boot/lilo
The 'lba32' option will avoid the 1024 cylinder limit problem on newer systems
with EDD support in the BIOS.

Hi All,
I'm trying to get my CD Burner to work under Slackware Linux 7.0. I
have an Adaptec 2940 SCSI controller, with a Hitachi CD-R. I can mount
the CD-R under /dev/scd0, I've enabled generic SCSI support, and still
no dice.
If I issue:
cdrecord -scanbus
I get:
Cdrecord release 1.8a29 Copyright (C) 1995-1999 J�rg Schilling
cdrecord: No such file or directory. Cannot open SCSI driver.
So I tried the direct root to my burner (during boot the kernel
states the CD-R is scsi0:0:6:0, and I know the CD-R is SCSI id 6). I
tried:
cdrecord -v speed=4 dev=0,6,0 <CD IMG>
I got:
Cdrecord release 1.8a29 Copyright (C) 1995-1999 J�rg Schilling
TOC Type: 1 = CD-ROM
scsidev: '0,6,0'
scsibus: 0 target: 6 lun: 0
cdrecord: No such file or directory. Cannot open '/dev/pg6'. Cannot
open SCSI driver.
So I created a pg6 device (major 97, minor 6), and then I got:
Cdrecord release 1.8a29 Copyright (C) 1995-1999 J�rg Schilling
TOC Type: 1 = CD-ROM
scsidev: '0,6,0'
scsibus: 0 target: 6 lun: 0
cdrecord: No such device. Cannot open '/dev/pg6'. Cannot open SCSI

Can someone PLEASE tell me where I'm going wrong?
Thanx!

Here is an abbreviated version of the isapnp input file:

This is accepted without error. I then do
setserial /dev/ttyS2 port 0x110 irq 9
but I cannot get the serial port recognized. "autoconfig" doesn't do anything,
manually setting UART types 8250, 16450, 16550, 16550A does not do anything.
Opening /dev/ttyS2 and writing to it invariably produces a write error.
I've also tried IRQ 5 and I/O port 0x210.
The machine has regular serial ports ttyS0 and ttyS1.
What else could be wrong?

Tobi,
you may want to compile a new kernel with just the support you want/need
in.
What version of the kernel are you using? What happens when you call
'/sbin/lsmod -a' before trying to access the scsi bus, what happens when
you call that after trying to access the bus?
If you try and access and then check with lsmod and see only scsi_mod and
sg (for generic devices such as a scanner or sd for disks) have been loaded
then if you make sure that 'alias scsi_hostadaptor aha1542' is in
/etc/conf.modules and it still isn't finding the scsi card, do this.
1) check that scsi_mod has loaded (along with sg or whatever)
2) issue the command '/sbin/insmod aha1542'
Hopefully there should then be a brief pause as it polls the card, you
should be able to see the module loaded with lsmod, and you should see your
scsi devices in /proc/scsi/scsi.
If this works but you have to keep doing a manual '/sbin/insmod aha1542'
then adding the line 'post-install scsi_mod /sbin/insmod aha1542' should
cause aha1542 to automatically be loaded after scsi_mod is loaded.

2.5.5-15??
That must be a highly experimental kernel surely??
The last major version is 2.2.x and I believe 2.4.x is the next (not
sure if it's out yet).
Anyways, if you want a working system I suggest you check the status of
that kernel version, if you do want to tinker with experimental versions
I'd advise you to check out developers ng's.

Don't do that. Usenet is for plain text (and encoded binaries in some

This indicates a problem with permissions, more than likely. Make sure
the cdrecord binary is SUID root. Also make sure that the sg module is
loaded (unless you've compiled generic SCSI support into the kernel!) Try
doing "modprobe sg" as root before using cdrecord.

pg6 is a parallel-port generic SCSI device, used if you have something
hanging off your parallel port. There's something screwed up here. Also,
I believe you're misunderstanding the "Bus, Target, LUN" rule that
cdrecord uses. The Bus is zero here (unless you have more than 1 SCSI
card), and very few SCSI devices have more than one LUN (CD changers are
the major exception.) The SCSI ID of your device is the Target, so the
chances are you'd say "dev=0,6,0" once the permissions on the binary are
fixed.
Good luck, let me know if this helped....

Your best bet is to check out the mostang site.
"panda.mostang.com/sane". You should be able to check there what is
supported h/w-wise. Also instructions should be there.
There'll also be README's after you've downloaded and extracted the

(as root) 'make install'. It's pretty painless. Just go have a cup of

Thanks for the info.
gpart allows you to write the partition file to another
device. I wonder
if this is useful for anything other than having the partition
saved.
That is, could I mount the damaged disk using this saved
partition file
that is stored on another device?

I assume writing the partition file doesn't damage any data.
That is, I could write the partitiion file, then mount read-only
and just read/transfer my data.

There are several possibilities:
1: Errors on the tape. Most DAT drives will detect bad spots on the
tape and skip over them. They do not generate errors or warnings
when they do so. You just notice a reduction in tape capacity. Try
using a new tape.
2: The block size could be too large. I think tar pads each file to the
size of a tape block. So (for the purposes of the tar archive), each
file's size is being rounded up to the next 8K boundary. This can
cause a drive's capacity to appear reduced. Try decreasing the block
size to 4K, 2K, 1K, or 512 bytes and see what happens.
3: Your computer (or SCSI interface might be too slow). If the drive's
buffer empties, the tape has to resynchronize. This can cause a small
amount of space to be wasted. If it happens often, all this space
can add up to a significant figure. Buffering or increasing the
block size might help here.
4: If most of your files are already compressed (as you said), then the
hardware won't be able to compress the data any further. Using
compression on already-compressed data tends to make the actual size
larger (since headers are added to each compressed tape block.) Try
turning off hardware compression.
5: You may just be seeing an artifact of tape size measurements. I
don't remember if the 4G DDS-2 capacity is binary (4,194,304 bytes),
or decimal (4,000,000) bytes. If decimal, then the 4,000,000 bytes
is actually 3.8G (binary). But I don't think you're seeing this,
since you're filling the tape at 3.2GB.
My guess is that this is problem 1, 2, or 4.

To be fair here, Intel does include a thermal diode in their P2/P3
cartridges. It can be used to measure the temperature at a point near
(but not precisely at) the junction point (where the core temperature is
highest.) Unfortunately, I don't think this is software-readable. I
think you need to add extra hardware somewhre in order to read this.
I don't think any motherboards actually do this. Every Slot-1 board
I've seen that has temperature monitoring does it with a small
temperature probe that you are supposed to insert between the CPU
cartridge and the heat-sink.

Is there a way? What do you mean by that? You load modules the same
way you always load modules: with insmod or modprobe (or neither, just
kerneld/kmod).
Of course, if the scsi disk is the medium on which you store your
modules, you'll have to either use an init ramdisk or compile the
driver into the kernel. Bootlaces problem.

Hmmm. If it says DDS3 on the package, I would assume it to be 125m.
I've never seen it in any other size.
I've never seen a way to override the media recognition system. If the
tape is not being auto-detected as DDS-3, then something is wrong.
Just out of curiosity, does the tape have media-recognition holes? They
are on the underside of the tape, along the back-edge (near the
write-protect shutter). It should. If it doesn't, switch brands to one
that does - the packaging usually indicates this with the words "media
recognition system" or something similar.
If the tape has media-recognition holes, then I would assume that the
drive has a hardware problem. If it's still under warrantee, call your
dealer for repair/replacement.

I'm not sure if it help, but AFAIK for CPU speed over 550 MHz Intel designed

So I suggest you try to run this mobo with "smaller" CPUs. You may also try

Although Intel places thermal diode in its P2 and P3, no one will
complain that the core temperature is different from the data sheet.
The temperature sensor is used to provide info for overclocking.
