Or get Linux 2.4.0 which already comes with the latest
IDE/Promise drivers built-in. Bear in mind that 2.4.x are
test kernels and up to test8pre6 had a bug in the ext2
filesystem which can cause filesystem corruption.

With 2.4.0 I have transfer rates of 36 MB/s with an
IBM-DTLA 307030 on the ATA-100 channel.

Cheers,
Udo.

Hello All,

I have a non-redhat linux distribution installed (conectiva linux) and

I went to the support.dell site and I could only find a RedHat driver

Does anybody have a open sourced driver for the perc?

Any help is appreciated

Subject: interrupt HD access, how ? (ZIP-Prob.)
Date: Thu, 07 Sep 2000 16:46:10 +0200

Hi All,

Is there a way to make accesses to _locally_mounted_ discs interruptible ?

The problem is: when I acces a ZIP drive, it sometimes happens that the drive
goes into a loop of rhythmic stepping and such, over and over, until I pull
and replug its power (It's a parallel ZIP, accessed via ppa). After that,
the ZIP-drive calms down, but now the linux system hangs completely - no
console switching, no shitdown er shutdown via alt-ctrl-del, only hard reset
works.
Even if could not access the (replugged) ZIP-drive, it would be nice to (at
least) get back control of the rest of the system, so I could do a shutdown
- and don't have to wait for 'fsck' to get finished.

I know that nfs-mounts can be made interruptibe - is there a solution for
local HDs ?

(I hope I haven't overlooked something in some docs - if so, yell at me (but
please tell me where to look))

greeting

Thank you very much, Kenneth.

The kernel stayed on the same (SCSI) disk. In the meantime, I have done 
some more digging on the usenet and found useful tip by Alberto Gianoli:

Do not tell BIOS that you have the disk. Kernel will find out itself.

That's what I did. I have 30 GB ATA100 disk on quite old machine now. 
It's the disk space that we need, not the CPU power.

I had the same problem with a 60GB maxtor HD - but without the limitation
jumper the hardware wouldn't run at all! It would even hang when trying the
HD autodetection of the bios (MoBo: ASUS VX97, newest BIOS update applied).

(There is some driver stuff available from maxtor which enables you to access
full capacity of such a HD even if the limitation jumper is set - but only
for win-95 and such. Since I wanted most of the capacity for linux, this was
no option and I exchanged the HD into the 30GB version.)

Oh, absolutely.  PostScript Level 2 just has extra features not found in
PostScript Level 1.  One of the features I use is the built-in FAX
encoding/decoding.  I can compress a black-and-white 600dpi image into
a small enough file that it makes "photocopying" practical.

  Does the card itself have a number? Most of the 6x60 based models are
something like AHA-15xx or AVA-15xx. Most of the cards I've seen usually have
the settings silkscreen right on it.

Start here:  http://www.adaptec.com/support/manuals/installation.html#isa and
see if your card is listed. If you don't know the actual card number, try
looking through some of the various AHA-1505/1510/1515 and AVA listings.

This a FAQ, you know.  Been answered over, and over, and over.

You can use an ATAPI writer, but it needs to pretend to be SCSI.

1) Disable ATAPI CD support in the kernel.
2) Enable SCSI emulation in the kernel.
3) Enable SCSI CD and generic support in the kernel.

How you do that depends on how you've got your system set up.  I
compile the kernel, run lilo, and reboot.  You might need to do it
through lilo options and module configuration.  Look up some previous
answers for the details peculiar to your distribution.

When you boot, you should see something like this in dmesg:

scsi2 : SCSI host adapter emulation for IDE ATAPI devices

Your's will probably be "scsi0"; I have a dual channel SCSI
controller, which accounts for 0 and 1.

When you run "cdrecord --scanbus", you should see something like this:

scsibus2:
        2,0,0   200) 'PLEXTOR ' 'CD-R   PX-W8432T' '1.07' Removable CD-ROM
        2,1,0   201) *
        2,2,0   202) *
        2,3,0   203) *
        2,4,0   204) *
        2,5,0   205) *
        2,6,0   206) *
        2,7,0   207) *

Edit /etc/cdrecord.conf with the values that you found, and you won't
have to remember them.

I prefer SCSI.  But I couldn't resist the price on the IDE model.

on my motherboard free.  If i installed a second hard drive using the
Primary on my motherboard would I be able to have one drive for windows and
one for Linux? I want a dual boot so it was suggested to me to have my BIOS
boot to my Windows drive and use a boot disk to start Linux.  I think this
might work, but any suggestions or additions to my plan would be greatly
appriciated.

Thank you
