One word:  winmodem.  

More words:  Linux doesn't like winmodems, so you'll need a different modem.

Hi Andrew,

if I am mot mistaken Viper II should use TNT2 chipset. Just try to configure it
as any Video Card based on TNT2 chipset.

Subject: Multi-session CD's without -eject (cdrecord)
Date: Thu, 31 Aug 2000 00:04:42 GMT

I'm interested in using multi-session CD's for doing backups.  It
appears from the examples that multi-session uses the -eject option to
cause the CD to be ejected along the way.  I'm assuming that this is so
that the OS re-reads the table of contents on the disc.

I'd really like to do this in some way that does not require the disc to
be ejected and reloaded.  Can multi-session be achieved without the CD
eject in any way?

Thanks,
Craig

Ahh, but there is the rub. Can it be played in a DVD player if
it is not encrypted? That is a question to which I do not know
the answer. I suspect not, otherwise why bother with the
encryption at all ? It is very weak encryption, and the DVDCCA
had to know it would be broken. It serves to control the PLAYER
market and REGIONAL distribution of the DVDs, without providing
much copyright control at all. If DVD players would play
unencrypted DVDs, that would mean that someone who pirated a DVD
by breaking the encryption could easily print a DVD that was
playable all over the world (thus defeating REGIONAL distribution
control), and could play the movie in any format he chose except
DVD (thus defeating the PLAYER market control).

Robert,

I am not sure that it will help as I do not have enough information but
"Do you have PnP OS BIOS setting disabled?" . If not try to disable it and
boot system again - in most case PnP BIOS create many problems - better to
keep it in off (At least for kernels before 2.4 which support PnP)

The most thorny thing that I'd see being any issue is the GeForce 256
card, and that if you are concerned about doing MESA/OpenGL stuff.

XFree86 3.3.6 supports the GeForce; see:
   <http://www.xfree86.org/4.0.1/Status21.html#21>.

The other issue would be the modem.  It is possible that it is a
"WinModem," in which case your options may be limited to none.
  <http://www.o2.net/~gromitkc/winmodem.html>
  <http://linmodems.org/>
Consider the possibility that you may have to buy an external modem.

Depends on the particular CD-R(W) in question.  Some can manage this,
some can't.  Anyway, it seems as though most CD-R(W)s can retract the
tray automatically when the drive is accessed.  Try ejecting the tray,
then issuing a "mount" command--for most drives, the tray will slide in.
If you do end up having to eject, a simple mount/umount will slide the
tray back in.  It's really easy to script, and would take about 10
seconds....

Subject: Help building a Duron 600/K7V system
Date: Thu, 31 Aug 2000 00:58:17 GMT

Hi,
   I've been running linux on my old dell for a while now, and finally 
decided to upgrade.  I'm used to swapping out cards,  adding RAM and 
drives, so I figured I'd go ahead and build my own system.  I must 
confess I've run head first into a brick wall.  
   I have an Asus K7V and a Duron 600.  I put everying together 
according to the manual (and the Ars system building guide) and powerd 
it on for the first time with just the cpu, memory, keyboard, and video 
card. . . and nothing happened.  Oh, the fans came on and the system led 
on the mobo came on, but i didn't get a signal to my monior.  I didn't 
get the BIOS.  I didn't even get the usual bios error beeps.  
Disappointed, I exchanged the processor and mobo for two of the same.   
And the same thing has happened.

What am I doning wrong?  Has anyone out there had this problem?  Any 
ideas?  

Thanks,
Jimmy Renteria

>From following numerous discussions on slashdot, I'm sure that it's
perfectly acceptable to produce a non-encrypted DVD.  It must be - or
there'd be no point having writable DVDs that you can't encrypt.

It is up to the manufacturer of the DVD to decide whether he wants to
encrypt that DVD.  All players can read from unencrypted DVDs.  There would
be plenty of people who wanted to produce their own little movie or some
such that they want to allow to be played in any region (advertising people
showing promotions, demo disks etc).  There must be a way to allow this.

Subject: ne.o: fails to initialize in Corel Linux 1.2 (Second Edition)
Date: Thu, 31 Aug 2000 01:53:29 GMT

Hello!

Summary: ne.o card won't initialize as eth0.


Version: Linux 2.2.16, Corel Linux 1.2 (Second Edition), based off of Debian 2.1
NIC: Kingston KNE2031+ (ne2000 compatible)

Detailed description:

I have a Kingston 2031+ (ISA) ethernet card.  On the Kingston website
(http://www.kingston.com), the card is categorized under the KNE20xx+ series,
and is therefore ne2000 compatible.  Using a Win98 boot disk, I used Kingston's
autoset.exe program to set the required I/O address and IRQ.  I set them as
follows:

io=0x300
irq=10

This setup works fine in Windows 98 (and used to work in Corel Linux 1.1).

I have a Corel Linux 1.2 system (based off of Debian slink, with some potato
packages) which (unfortunately) failed to detect the card on startup, and
therefore left me to add it manually.

I edited the /etc/modutils/aliases file and added the following lines to the
bottom:

alias eth0 ne
options ne io=0x300

Now, when do a "modprobe eth0" or a "modprobe ne io=0x300", I get the following:

/lib/modules/2.2.16/net/ne.o: init_module: Device or resource busy

When I do "dmesg | tail", I get the following:

ne.c:v1.10 9/23/94 Donald Becker ([EMAIL PROTECTED])
NE*000 ethercard probe at 0x300:<6>
(cdl:ne.o)NE2000 found at address 0x300, using IRQ 10.
ne.c: No NE*000 card found at i/o = 0x300

What I find infuriating about the problem (other than the fact it used to work
under Corel Linux just fine) is that the error message contradicts itself.

Just to see if I made a mistake, I downloaded Donald's ne2000 diagnostic tool
and ran it for 0x300, which reported:

Checking the ethercard at 0x300.
  Receive alignment error counter (0x30d) is ff
  Passed initial NE2000 probe, value 00.
Station Address PROM    0: 00 00 c0 c0 f0 f0 06 06 aa aa a5 a5 05 05 f5 f5
Station Address PROM 0x10: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 57 57 57 57
  NE2000 found at 0x300, using start page 0x40 and end page 0x80.
The current MAC stations address is 00:00:00:00:00:00.

The interesting thing here is that although there's an ethernet card at 0x300,
the MAC stations address is all 0's which doesn't seem normal.

Does anyone here know what's wrong, or what I can do about this problem?  I used
to be able to initialize the exact same card in the exact same machine (using a
different kernel) just fine.  Admittedly, the configuration wouldn't work until
I installed the 2.4 test 4 kernel... I haven't tried recompiling the ne driver
yet.

Help would be appreciated!

Probably because that other OS is more tolerant of "bad" hardware and 
doesn't use all of the functionality of it or doesn't test the hardware as 
much. 
OR the other OS doesn't stay running long enough for the hardware to get 
"tired" and say enough already!  :)
