Use the included DOS utility to turn PnP off and set the irq and io. I have

FYI, the APICs on SuperMicro i840 chipset boards are incompatible with
linux (SuperMicro has dropped all linux support on the issue). If you
are interested in what the APIC does, see the Documentation subdirectory
of the kernel source, file IO-APIC.txt

there are no partition on the disk. I attempted to install winNT on it

Subject: no sound with sblive from audio cd's
Date: Wed, 02 Aug 2000 01:39:49 -0700
Hi.
I've got RH6.2 with kernel 2.4.0-test5. I can read data cd's no problem,
and mp3 files sound great. But I don't get any sound from audio cd's.
It looks like it's reading the cd just fine (using xmms), but no sound.
I have an sblive sound card, with my speakers plugged into the DIN jack
on the digital i/o card. When I plug the speakers into the jacks on the
main card I only get sound from the front speakers (but mp3's still give
me sound from all 4 speakers). This is driving me crazy. Does the
emu10k1 module not support rear speakers? With windows I get sound from
all 4 speakers using the DIN jack. I hate the fact that widows sounds
better that linux. Any help would be greatly appreciated, before I go
out of my mind.
Thanks

Subject: CD-RW - IDE or SCSI?
Date: Wed, 2 Aug 2000 07:48:41 -0400 (EDT)
I'm looking to get a PC for home use and run RedHat 6.2.
I want to get a CD-RW device so I can do backups and make the occasional
music CD. I would also use it as my CD reading device, rather than
have a separate CDROM. I'd also have an IDE disk and that'd
be it to start with. It was recommended to me that I get a
SCSI CD-RW along with a SCSI card, because Windows can deal
with that a little better, otherwise there are times when
a CD is ruined if there are other operations happening on
the disk. I presume this wouldn't be a concern with Linux.
Would it be worth the extra expense to go the SCSI route,
or would the IDE be sufficient? It would not be a heavy use
machine and I would not need to be doing intensive operations while
a CD was writing. It won't be used for games so it doesn't
need a really fast read time for the CD.

I don't see why not, Ronny. As long as your parport equ to mt, pt I
think it is, can see it, then so should arkeia. Its running on my
machine right now, but to /dev/st0 on a scsi card, and wasting half of
each tape because it isn't using the hardware compression that is turned

Hello,
We recently bought a dual PIII machine with this motherboard
and hard drive, CPU, etc.:
TYAN TIGER 133 (VIA APOLLO PRO 133A) (Slot 1)
(VT82C596B)
WINBOND W83977ATF Super I/O CHIP
IBM DTLA 307045 (45GB IDE UDMA66)
2 x PIII-850MHz
1GB RAM
Redhat 6.1
Now, this runs at 100Mhz, got PC100 memory.
I run the same analysis code, compiled with g77,
as a benchmark. I have two other machines:
PII450MHz and PIII650MHz.
The 650 is approx. 1.4 times faster than 450.
BUT
The 850 is approx. 1.1 times faster than 450.
!!!!!!
No matter what I do to the bios settings, I still
get this problem.
I compiled the kernel for SMP, and included the
VT82***** IDE chipset option, since that's the
chip on this motherboard.
I cannot figure out why this is SOOO SLOW!!!!!!
Anybody had a similar experience???? Is it the
mboard?
Thank you,
AG

Any high-end board will make you happy. I've done very well by ASUS for
years under different configuarations (both single CPU and SMP), and
personally automatically go with them. This is NOT to say anything bad
about any other manufacturer.
The only problem that I've had was just solved by upgrading the BIOS.
This was on a K7M+Athlon 650. Screamer! Very happy now.

Are you trying for ultra 66 specs or just for it to work?
Got RH 6.2 to install on Ultra 66 by issuing
IDE2=0xa800,0xa402 IDE3=0xa000,0x9802
at boot up from the floppy (or CD)
To get the values for your setup run "cat /proc/pci"
if I remember correctly. It will give the I/O values.
Add 2 to the second such as mine was originally
IDE2=0xa800,0xa400 IDE3=0xa000,0x9800
May not be what you are looking for. Just hope
it helps. You could load with this and apply the
patch after. Word has it the patch works great.

I've been using the P2B-DS as a production server for well over a year
now. Both CPU's are running at 100% nearly all the time. Running soft
RAID-5. If there were a problem, I'd not be trusting it, certainly not
for a mission-critical server. We're thinking about moving to a "real"
redundant server, but this has worked like a charm.

Niether does mine. I do have 11 or 12 fans in an air-conditioned room to
keep the SCSI drives cool, however.
