Subject: Re: what cdrw works well with laptop?
Making part of the requirements include the drive being external are
going to make you spend most likely an extra $100 just from geting the
same drive but in an internal model. I would think u could get a list
of drives that work from the hardware compatibility howto at
www.linuxdocs.org. As a side note every cdrw might work as they use the
same ide-scsi.o scsi emulation module, whether they are ide or scsi.
With your PC being a laptop it will have to be IDE type, probably going
through a PCMCIA card.

it's not the slot that matters, its the chip in the slot. Some chips
will only go in teh Socket and some only go in the Slots. Don't worry
about the connection type per se, worry about the actual CPU and go from
there.

i'm going with Glitch on this one...
don't cross post to so many damn newsgroups!! it's a waste of
bandwidth and energy for all these ppl to reply to ONE question.
go into linux and hit 'fdisk /dev/hda'
hit 'p' to print the parititon layout. look at it: which partitions
are really Linux (ext2fs) and which are really Windows (FAT32)?
use the 't' command to change the label. i.e. if hda5 is your linux
partition and it's marked as FAT32, hit 't', '5', 'b' ('b' is the
letter for 'WIN95 FAT32')
other than that, post to a win98 newsgroup, as windows, not linux, is
fucking up!

You can buy adapter cards that let you put Celeron (i.e., socket 370)
chips in P2/3 (i.e., slot 1) motherboards.
My take has always been that if Intel meant for its chips to be put in
motherboards regardless of type, they would have made both
slots/sockets the same. And, the opinion of some notwithstanding, I
also believe that if Celerons were meant to be used in an SMP
configuration, Intel would officially support it.

Hi,
I've in my linux box a additional ide controler (Abit Hot Rod 100 Pro) which
uses the HPT370 chip from HighPoint Techn.
The ide controler can do raid (no software raid). I patched the kernel
(2.2.16) with the ide-patch (www.linux-ide.org). I created a raid0-array
with two IBM hdd's (2x15GB). Under W2k the raid0 system works.
But Linux can't read the partition table proberly. Please look at the boot

Subject: Really annoying X problem - HHHHHEEEEELLLLLLPPPPPP!!!!!!!!
Date: Tue, 29 Aug 2000 07:11:49 +0100
I have recently installed Mandrake 7.0 on my new PC:
Athlon 600
ASUS K7M Motherboard
G400 Graphics card (32Mb)
Mitsubishi Pro 710 monitor
The problem is that that periodically, possibly anywhere between 30
seconds to several minutes, my screen blinks. That is it goes blank
for about a second after which the desktop display returns. I have
tried upgrading to 7.1 of Mandrake, but that did not help. I am
running KDE, but the same problem also manifests itself when I switch
to Gnome. I did notice that when I try to configure my graphics card,
specifying 32M, that when I go back in to configure it again it seems
to reset it to a 16M G400, though I don't know whether this is an
issue.
Since upgrading to 7.1 I have selected my monitor from the list
provided by the X-config utility and the Vertical and Horizontal sync
rates match between my monitor manual and the XF86Config file.
This is a really anoying bug that's driving me up the wall so any help
would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Clive.

Subject: Re: Abit KT7 / Asus V6800 Deluxe boot probs

Hi again,
Update:
The machine boots normally with my old Matrox G200, also
with the SCSI subsystem, as long as AGP 4x is disabled.
So the issue really seems to be between the mainboard and
the GeForce. I was under the impression that power supply
was an issue solved, and that the manufacturers made sure
by now that the combination Athlon/GeForce would work?
Has anyone had this kind of problems with this combination?
Are there specific BIOS settings to solve this? The manuals
(mobo and vga) are not very helpful about this.
A Win98 bootdisk hangs after "verifying dmi pool data..." or
somesuch, I can still hear the drive for a few seconds afterward
and that's it.
Sometimes I immediately get disk read errors, yet the diskette
itself does work (as confirmed when using on a different machine
or this very same with the G200).
Any help appreciated!
While I'm at it: is there any kind of Linux support for the "Deluxe"
part of this Asus graphics card, i.e. video in/out? The video
out controller is supposed to be a "Chrontel 7005" and the video
in controller is a "Philips SAA7113A". I can dream, can't I ;-)
Greetings, Eric
P.S. ok so this is not an OS issue, but the machine is destined
to run SuSE Linux ;-)

You have to tell the module the ressources the controller is using, i.e IRQ,
I/O address. It is done like this: modprobe aha152x aha152x=0x140,10,7,0
where 0x140 is the I/O address,10 is the IRQ and 7 is the SCSI ID. I just
tried it in my system yesterday and it works fine.

Guys,
You need to add a line to /etc/lilo.conf
image=/boot/vmlinuz
append="mem=128M"
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
label=linux
initrd=/boot/initrd-2.2.16-17.img

This shoud work fine

Can you change volume at all with Linux? Maybe your sound driver does
not support the mixer device. I recommend trying alsasound and also
different mixers. On my laptop I found that only 2 of 5 mixers that I had=
installed could change the volume of the speaker...

Subject: is Promise UDMAx supported
Date: Tue, 29 Aug 2000 09:52:00 GMT
Hi to you all,
I've now been searching three hours on the net and through newsgroups
without any conclusive answers to this one:
Is the Promise FastTrak66 RAID controller supported by linux, stock RedHat
updated kernel version 2.2.16-3? If not, are their patches available, and
where can I find them?
If any of the first above questions is yes, is UDMA/33 supported, is UDMA/66
supported, is RAID 0 supported, is RAID 1 supported?
Any of the above questions repeated for the FastTrak100 RAID controller. Is
it supported, patches, UDMA/100 supported? Can the FastTrak100 be configured
to be used as UDMA/66?
Is the mirrorring (RAID 1) done by the controller and hence can the kernel
treat the IDE controller as an ordinary IDE controller, OR is the mirrorring
done in whole or partially by the driver, and the RAID card is nothing more
than an expensive version of a special off-board IDE controller?
(BTW I'm NOT planning soldering ;-) )
I was planning to use these on an ASUS CUSL2 with 2 RAID-1 (mirror) IBM
75GXP 45GB HD's. Comments?
