Hi,
Some background: I'm running Linux 2.4.0-test7 on an AMD K6-3/450, and
have been running various versions of Linux for about a year now. This
machine unfortunately has a history of overheating and causing
problems, such as X suddenly dying. I added another fan and keep the
case cracked open a bit, and that seems to have helped. This machine
also NFS mounts /usr/local from another machine that has worked with
few or no problems, though I don't use it as much.
Lately, some applications on /usr/local, notably XEmacs and Netscape,
will suddenly stop working correctly, getting signal 11's and other
bizarre errors on startup (like weird, ugly internal XEmacs
errors). Re-installing the app fixes it for awhile. My question, then,
is if anyone else has run into anything like this. Is the problem
likely the AMD overheating, the hard drive on the other computer on
its last legs, or maybe the test kernel getting goofy? It's kind of
scary, and if it's the hard drive going, I'd like to back up the data
and let it make its final peace. I had one hard drive go once, but
that was sudden and ugly. This hard drive is about 2.5 years old, by
the way (a Maxtor).
Thanks in advance,
Reid

Date: Tue, 29 Aug 2000 00:20:18 GMT
Hi, recently my HP 7200i quit working (4 months after the warranty
expired) and I am looking into getting another CDRW drive, with my luck
with HP I decided to look into other brands. I was wondering if anyone
has had any luck with the CD-RW Blaster 8432 (internal) from Creative
Labs? Is this drive worth a look at? I really would like it to be
compatible with Linux as my HP 7200i was.
If anyone has any feedback regarding this drive please let me know what
you think.
Thanks,

There are also a number of vendors of NLX cases and motherboards that
may even be more compact than the "Micro-ATX" stuff; the one problem
is that actually building a _system_ based on these form factors
requires that you buy both suitable motherboard and case, which tends
to be a _bit_ expensive.

0. Make a bootable DOS disk with SYS.COM on it. Boot from DOS disk.
SYS C:
1. Is there something that you didn't mention, like the BIOS being
ancient and requiring a drive overlay program, or the DOS filesystems
being compressed? Mention things like that.
2. Ask this question in a Lose9x newsgroup; they'll know more about the
vagaries of that system. If neither LILO nor LOADLIN nor ext2
filesystems are on the disk any more, it's probably not a Linux
problem....

You need to remember that you really aren't going to configure Mandrake
7.1.
No matter what distr. you have, you need to configure XFree86.
To to that: run (as root) either XF86Setup or xf86config.
To do this, you need to know what type of video card you have and the
basic specs for your monitor.

What is your RAM situation? I had a bad DIMM and got tons of BSODs in
Win98 b/c of it (more than usual :)). I would have programs crash with
illegal ops often until I replaced the DIMM. It sounds like you might
have a bad DIMM or even more than 1 bad one if you have more than 1
total. If you have more than 1 installed try swapping them out to see if
anything helps. With /usr/local from another machine having problems I'd
say it would be a memory problem if data from a different computer has
problems. At the very least it would be a RAM problem, and if you are
UNlucky enough it maybe a bad drive too but if /usr/local/ has problems
that means you would have 2 bad drives. That is not likely but still
possible.

Don't use "/dev/modem" in your script. It isn't an actual device.
It is only a symbolic link.
<p>You have 2 serial ports and an internal modem? Right?
<p>Therefore you need only to configure the modem in your script:

You can look on each distros site and see what burners they support. Also,
the CD-burning how-to gives you a good list of supported drives. I
personally use the HP 8100i and HP 7200e and have never had a problem with

See linuxprinting.org and references to the BJC6000. From what I read there
this printer is not fully supported by any current drivers and may not
print plain text. You will probably need to experiment with ghostscript,
apsfilter, magicfilter, or others to see if it can do what you need.
The above site should provide ample info on how to set up your printer in
linux, although I thought SUSE's yast had some printer setup tools.
I have been considering the BJC6000, and like the idea of the individual
ink tanks, but if I want to use it with linux I think I am more likely to
get the Epson 740 or 760.
How is the text quality with the BJC6000, and can it print ok on a quality
plain copy paper?
Although hardware support is improving in linux, you should always research
before buying anything if you want to use it with linux.
Good luck with your printer.

Thanks, I tried that, but insmod aha152x generates the message:

I don't know how it gets busy, though.
lsmod does not show it, nor does /proc/interrupt list the interrupt.

See what the partition types show as in Linux fdisk. If they are not
Linux change their type to Linux (83) or Linux Swap (82) for that one.
If they still show up in Windows, remove any cdrom devices from the device
list and reboot. It should be able to find and reinstall them correctly
(fingers crossed).
