Have you (or linuxconf) added an alias entry to /etc/conf.modules to tell
the kernel which module should be loaded for eth1?

I have an IBM intellistation Z pro running redhat 6.2 and it looses time
at night!
What Bios parameter do I change to alter this behavior?

AFAIK Suse 7.0 comes to stores theses days. Maybe there will be some
delay before you can download it for free via the net.

Just out of the blue:
Do you shutdown your station in the evening and power it up the next
morning?

If so it may that the battery which serves the CMOS RAM where the BIOS
settings are stored needs to be replaced.

I'm sure that it can be done; try putting this line in your modules.conf
file:

pre-install sd modprobe -k ide-scsi

If you have a line such as "alias scsi_hostadapter ide-scsi" then
comment it out.

The point here is that the scsi_hostadapter module is requested by the
scsi-core module only. If
some other module is holding scsi-core in memory (or it's compiled into
the kernel) then rmmod can only unload the sd module. The next time that
you access the /dev/sda? device, Linux requests sd, which in turn
requests scsi-core. However, scsi-core is already present and the sd
module by itself doesn't "know" that it needs ide-scsi. The sd module
therefore fails to initialise and you get a "device not found" error.
The pre-install line tells Linux that it needs to execute "modprobe -k
ide-scsi" before it tries to load sd, the -k flag being "autoclean".

This is similar to what I do to get my ZIP drives working; however I
have a parallel port and a USB drive, so I use ppa and usb-storage
respectively instead of ide-scsi.

Date: Wed, 23 Aug 2000 13:43:04 +0200

Hi! I have a Problem with the Intel EtherExpress PRO 100B Adapters in my
Linux Boxes.
My Linux Boxes are two Fujitsu-Siemens Primergy 470 with 1GB RAM, 2 CPU's
and 2 Intel EtherExpress PRO 100B.
I will talk only from eth0 but I have tested eth1 as well, because first
i've thought that the Adapter is damaged. It happens the same as with eth0.
Then I've tried to Update my Kernel from 2.2.14-12SAP.lfssmp to
2.2.16-3SAPsmp but the Errors still occurs.

Here are the Logs with Kernel 2.2.14:

Also, do you have Linux on your master boot drive, or a slave.  I am pretty
sure it can only boot from the master drive (primary ide) not secondary.
Either that is the problem, or if it is installed past a certain sector on
the drive (1024???)   I had the same problem only seeing LI and after
searching the literature, found out about this.

Subject: Anyone got Creative Webcam III working?
Date: Wed, 23 Aug 2000 14:03:06 +0100
Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I've got a Creative Webcam III and am trying to get it to work under
Linux.  It works fine under Win98.

My system: Originally based on RedHat 6.0, but various things have been
upgraded - including the kernel, to version 2.2.16.

I got the backport for the USB drivers for the above kernel and have
compiled it as follows:

CONFIG_USB=y
CONFIG_USB_DEBUG=y
CONFIG_USB_DEVICEFS=y
CONFIG_USB_UHCI=y
CONFIG_USB_OV511=y

I understand that OV511 is the correct driver for this webcam.  I have
also downloaded some "camera" software (xawtv and w3cam), but I think I
still need to do more configuration before this software will "see" the
camera.

Have I missed anything out?

When the camera is connected, a message appears in /var/log/messages
indicating that a device has been added, but that it cannot recognize
it.  Similarly, when the camera is disconnected, a corresponding message
appears in the log.  This suggests that USB support is generally working
OK, but something is not right specific to the camera.

As you can see, I added CONFIG_USB_DEBUG to the kernel to allow extra
logging messages to appear relating to USB.  I'll post that too if
anyone thinks it will help, but perhaps my best chance would be if
someone out there has got this same camera working under a similar
configuration, and I've missed out something obvious.

Many thanks,

Dave.

Are you sure you're asking the right question?  RS-232 is the standard
that specifies how one accomplishes data transmission over serial lines.
Most PCs have RS-232 compatible serial ports, and those have been
well-supported by Linux for a long time.  Most distros ship their stock
kernels with serial support and PPP support built as modules, but if
you've built your own kernel and forgotten to put the right things in,
they're under "Character devices" in the kernel congifuration menu.

Do you have a particular serial device you're trying to get to work?  If
so, what is this device?  Real Modems, X10 home automation systems, and
Palm Pilots all work with Linux for sure.
