It's not really the bios that's on the hard drive, but the way of accessing
the bios settings.
You can either leave this diagnostics partition intact, or delete it and
rely on a diagnostics boot disk
to get access to your cmos settings. You can download all the necessary
stuff for this from Compaq
if you no longer have a copy of this disk.
> I would probably install a bigger HDD (6GB Quantum).
Compaq say that this model was upgradeable to a 1.05Gb HDD, but that's
probably because
that's the biggest drive they tried it with.
Something to watch out for is that some machines didn't support LBA, and had
a "large" mode.
This enabled drives larger than 540Mb to be used, but was limited to about
1.2Gb if I remember rightly.
This is not really an issue for Linux, as it bypasses the bios settings and
looks at the actual drive settings -
but might be for DOS (which includes the diagnostics partition). You might
be able to get around this by
just creating the diagnostics partition according to the geometry the
machine thinks it has. Or something
like the OnTrack DiskManager might get around this.
If this model supports LBA, I guess anything under 8.4Gb should be okay, and
this
is not just a matter of the drivers needed for really huge disks on older
systems. It is also
a matter of how the machine's bios reacts to a larger drive. I used a
Deskpro with a P133
at one time, and tried to put a 12-gig Quantum Bigfoot in it. The OnTrack
DiskManager enabled
me to use the larger drive, but the machine reported an error every time it
booted - and would wait
for a keystroke before continuing. Not really desirable if you need the
machine to come back up by
itself after a power interruption...
Hope this helps,
Mark.

You can get it to work, if you emal them or phone them they will send you
a driver which only works in the RedHat 6.1 distrib kernel 2.12-20. If
you try to run it in any other kernel you will get unresolved symbols,
which I don't have a clue how to fix. It is totally a binary driver, no
source code. This is not a bad kernel though, with a little work I have
got USB and multilink into it. But they won't answer whether they are
still working on it. So you may be stuck running this kernel for awhile.
The tech support guys have this file but they know nothing about it, they
don't even know the phone number of the engineers who are "maybe" working
on this stuff. If you are interested contact me and I will send you more
details.

Or, you could use the "DefaultDepth" directive in the "Screen"
section. Note that there is no depth 32 anymore. There is FbBpp,
that can be set to 32. Normally the drivers figures the best
FbBpp out itself, man XF86Config.

You can use either:
startx -- -depth 24
startx -- -depth 24 -bpp 24
startx -- -depth 24 -bpp 32

OK if you want to try just the binary driver (about 75k) which you just
put in your scsi subdir under your modules, then you can download
http://neilevid.tripod.com/download/ftmod61b.o There is also a floppy boot
image which you can use to install or get into a system if you want to run
it on the fasttrak itself. You would be able to compile it into the
kernel. (They give you a small patch to the makefiles, plus the binary
object code), Download this at
http://neilevid.tripod.com/download/fasttrak.tar.gz for tarball or
http://neilevid.tripod.com/download/REL.ZIP for zip version.

Avoid Debian and Slacware if you're new to Linux. This distros are suposed
to be used by experienced users. They're extremelly hard to install and
configure, and most of the administrative tasks are done by hand. RedHat
is a breeze to install if compared with Debian and Slack, and it has
linuxconf as default admin utility, which makes it easyer to maintain.
SuSe has a similar tool called Yast and Caldera has COAS wich are very
easy too.
If you want an easy distro based on Debian Corel is Ok. It's one of the
easyest I've ever seen. Another option is the brazilian distro Conectiva.
It's based on RedHat, but is as easy a Corel to install, and comes with
liunuxconf too.

Yes, totally correct.
The bios is not on the HD. but the interface accessing the bios is on the
HD.
You can delete it without any problem. I've done this before.
You can use the Diag & Setup disks to do the setup things (download form

Good luck !

Subject: External Modem Problems
Date: Mon, 11 Sep 2000 06:21:07 GMT
After my beloved Zoom external modem burned up from a phone-line
surge, I repaced it with a Zoltrix Rainbow 56k external. It is a
serial connect voice/fax modem. I figured it should be an easy swap
out. Not so. I have observed the following:
1. When the modem is queried by KPP there is no information pulled up
aside from "AT" which occurs in the last field of of the Query
Response fields. Zoltrix's website says the default string is:
AT &F &C1 &D2
2. The modem will dial, connnect to the ISP, but seem to hang before
or at the point where the pppd is spawned.
3. The whole system is slowing down when KPPP is running. so much so
that mouse control is impossible. I have not tried opening up another
session .
Anny suggestions on the best way to start attacking the problem?
I am running SuSE 6.3 on the following hardware:
AMD K6-2 450
128M RAM
so there should be plenty of RAM and processor power, additionally
there seems not to be any undue drive crunching going on indicating
excessive swap usage. Again, I had no problems w/ my Zoom 2949L, nor
with Promithius CyberPort 28.8 externals. I have no problems under
WinBlows either. I suspect it is related to pppd, as I have similar
problems under BeOS also. I just am at a loss at where to start in
attacking this problem.
Thanks.....

When you boot up, your SCSI card's initialization will usually tell you
what devices it has attached. Does the SCSI card see the tape drive?

Yes, I'm using a Panasonic SCSI DVD RAM, and it can be used
almost like a harddrive. It's not possible to create partitions
on the medium, but you can create an ext2 filesystem on the
entire medium. Recent 2.2 kernels should already support the
DVD RAM drive. The Suse 7.0 default kernel (2.2.16) worked out
of the box.

The drive can read DVD ROM's. I never tried to read a CD, but

Either he's wrong, or Compaq's done some serious screwing around with the

This is in principle BAD. For OS such as Linux FreeBSD and even WinNT i think
the correct setting is PNP OS NO, so that the BIOS initializes as much cards

Your rc.serial looks OK. Did you check /var/log/messages for any
errors? Assuming there are no errors you might have to change the setup
in the connectivity software to get > 19200.
1. In minicom, change the baudrate to 115200 and try dialing out.
2. If you are using pppd, check the baud options for pppd.
