It took about a month of mysterious crashes before I finally had the
unexpected IRQ show up. Running with kernel option "noapic" has shown me
that the AIC7xxx driver is extremely stable. The filesystem access
itself is absurdly fast, although with noapic the machine becomes
unresponsive during this heavy i/o. Even the dual PII450 here will far
outperform the dual 800 for responsiveness (at least with noapic going
on the 800). Both use AIC7xxx. I think you'll find your system will fail
even when using IDE if you rapidly mount and umount.

Subject: Power Saving Problems
Date: 8 Aug 2000 04:39:04 GMT
We need to look into good power saving strategies, most Linux ports once on
a PDA suck power, but native os dont, this is due to power saving built
into the Software,
We generally, shut down components when not in use, and even turn of or at
least slow down the CPU when no activity is taking place, such as reading
the screen, and then wake up the CPU when an intterupt has been triggered.
Does any one know any where that is focusing on this area. especially
within Linux.

Hi,
I'm trying to record sound using the line-in port of my soundblaster, but the
resulting .wav file sounds very quiet - about 70% of
the volume of comparable files recorded under W**doze. I've tried adjusting the mixer
so that the line-in level is at max, but to no
avail.
I'm using a Soundblaster AWE-32 Pnp and I've tried using both the kernel/oss drivers

The tape is addressed via the character device associated at boot time.
Look for lines in dmesg output with 'ide-tape'. On my machine 'tar cvzf
/dev/nht0 ./home' and 'tar cvzf /dev/tape ./home' are identical, but
'tar cvzf /dev/hdb ./home' would not work.
Link /dev/tape to the norewind device.

You could try the de4x5 driver. I have had 21x40 boards fail with the
tulip driver before and working beutifully with the de4x5 driver.
If that doesn't work, you might also want to fiddle around in your
BIOS setup. Switching off PnP and manually assigning PCI interrupts has
helped me before. Look at /proc/pci to check if PCI probing was correct
in Linux.

This card _should_ work "right out of the box" with red hat 6.2. What
error messages do you get? Try something like "startx >/var/log/xdmerr
2>>/var/log/xdmerr" and try to examine what happens during startup.

AFAIK the Soundblaster 128 PCI uses an Ensoniq ES 1370 (works fine), an
ES 1371 (no problems) or an ES 1373 (a friend of mine tried hard to get
this working, but no success). Open source drivers are available at

Most of the times when I get a seg fault it is because of some library
incompatablity.
cd to the directory where the program that crashes is and type 'ldd
program name'. Of course if your computer makes the core dump files,
these are the files named 'core' that appear in a directory after a
program crashes, you can look at them also. If your machine dosen't core
dump you can turn it on by recompiling the kernel. Core dumps are
usually some big files and you'll only be able to understand a few
lines, but sometimes these few lines are enough. You might not want to
leave this opption in your kernel permanately since the core files
produced are so big, the core files can be deleted.
