I believe P2's run at 66MHz, without exception.  I could certainly be
wrong, however.

[upgrading to new motherboard and 750MHz P3 causes OOPSes unless
15-16MB hole is enabled]

Certainly, there is a problem with your older DIMM.  Have you tried
switching which DIMM goes in which bank?  It may be that the
motherboard's memory socket is defective.  It may also be that you
have two different types of obscure memory.  I know my motherboard
claims not to function with - um, dredging from memory here - both
registered and unregistered DIMMs at the same time.

Some of the obscure characteristics aren't listed; ECC, EDO, buffered,
registered, etc.  But many motherboards are very peculiar about what
kinds they take, and in what combinations they can be.

[how to turn down the bus speed?]

Check in your BIOS, or in your motherboard documentation.  Modern
boards typically allow you to set the bus speed via the BIOS, but some
may still require you to mess with jumpers.  Since this is exactly the
way idiots overclock their systems, this is frequently an
unconfigurable option on reliable boards.  (Let me know if I'm
stepping on anyone's toes, here.)

Why scd0?  His burner is ATAPI and *nowhere* does he indicate that he

Now, look at your /etc/fstab file.  It should have a line that looks
*something* like this:
/dev/hdc        /mnt/cdrom        iso9660 users,noauto,ro          
0       2

See that part that says users,noauto,ro (yours may say something
diferent)?  That is the part you need to look at.  users means that
any user can mount the drive.  noauto means that Linux will not try to
mount the drive while booting.  ro means that the drive should be
mounted "read only" (this is the only way to mount a CDROM).  If the
permissions for /mnt/cdrom and /dev/hdc allow all users access (go
ahead and use 777 as a mask) these settings should allow you to mount
and access the CDROM as any user.  I hope this helps, mail me if you
need more.

The onboard sound never did work on my Matsonic 6260S in Linux or
NetBSD. It was ::supposed:: to be 100% Sound Blaster compatible, but
it apparently isn't. Even in WinBloz it sounded "scratchy" and tinny.
I'll just use my old Media Vision PAS-16D until it dies, and then I'll

In RedHat, and probably Mandrake, you can put stuff like that in
/etc/rc.d/rc.serial.
One of the other rc. files looks for it, to see if its there. I forget
which.
I'm not sure about other distributions.

I am looking for some guidance on an installation problem:
My set-up is
RedHat 6.2,
2No. Western Digital 10 gig HDD's
QDI Legend mobo.

I am attempting to set up a RAID 1, but everytime I complete the
installation, the BIOS mis-reports the size of  at least one of the HDD's.

Also the RAID (md0) does not appear to be working. (These two problems are
probably connected).

I have tried setting the disks to "NORMAL" rather than LBA under BIOS but
this does not work.

Furthermore, in order for the BIOS to correctly see the size of the HDD's
(under LBA mode) I have to use Western Digitals dlgchk utility to write
zeros to each hard disk.

Any ideas?

I went looking a couple months ago and this was all I found:

It appears to be in German.  I do not know why, if the IrDA port is
built into all these motherboards now, why it is so damned difficult
and/or expensive to come up with the infrared headpiece that plugs
into it.

Here's a place that sells one:

OK - I have used a machine with an IDE CD-burner and a ZIP drive.
However, it was a Linux 2.4 kernel and a USB ZIP drive. (Still worked
OK, though.) IIRC, a CD-Writer uses the SCSI generic layer and the SCSI
CD-ROM drivers. These should not be affected by the SCSI disk driver;
does your CD-Writer work OK? Can you read CD-ROMs?

Fair enough, although what would happen if you were to put a disk in the
drive at boot-time? (Just curious.) The error messages look exactly the
same as the ones I see when loading the drivers with no disk present.

Ugh. Vendors such as RedHat add loads of little "extra bits" into the
kernel, so there's no telling what you have. If you just run "modprobe
ppa" then Linux will then make sure that all the other modules are
loaded in the correct order and initialised. No need to do everything
individually.

Look in the /proc filesystem for /proc/scsi. Have you mounted the /proc
filesystem? Put this line in your /etc/fstab if you haven't:

none  proc  /proc  defaults

Then "mount /proc" as root. However, I'm pretty sure that RedHat will
have done this for you. Once ppa is correctly loaded, you should have
this file:

   0 -rw-r--r--   1 root     root            0 Sep  5 23:31
/proc/scsi/ppa/0

which should contain something like this:

Version : 2.03 (for Linux 2.2.x)
Parport : parport0
Mode    : EPP 32 bit

There should also be this file:

   0 -rw-r--r--   1 root     root            0 Sep  5 23:33
/proc/scsi/scsi

which should contain:

Attached devices: 
Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 06 Lun: 00
  Vendor: IOMEGA   Model: ZIP 100          Rev: J.03
  Type:   Direct-Access                    ANSI SCSI revision: 02

However, the fact that you see SCSI messages at boot-time also shows
that you have SCSI support compiled in. Any message about "sda" and READ
CAPACITY will be from sd_mod.

mount /mnt/cdrom ??? Is that a misprint?

Sounds like everything goes horribly wrong the moment you try to access
device "block-major-8". Type

$ modprobe -c

and search through all the output for "block-major-8". Does it appear
only once? Is it aliased to sd_mod? If you do anything to block-major-8
in your /etc/modules.conf file then comment it out, because this alias
should be set automatically.

One interesting point: since scsi_core is compiled into your kernel then
your scsi_hostadapter module must be loaded at boot-time. This also
means that you can only have ONE scsi_hostadapter, and yet you also need
to load the ide-scsi module for your CD-Writer. Is ide-scsi compiled
into your kernel too? If your CD-Writer works and you can't find this
module then I would guess "yes".

If still no joy then you're going to have to start stripping your
configuration down, module by module, device by device to find out what
is messing the SCSI disk driver up. Either that, or compile a kernel
from source. I suspect that your ZIP drive would work pretty quickly
then ... Do RedHat publish a list of "differences" between their kernel
and standard 2.2.16?
