You may want to try using cdparanoia rather than cdda2wav, it's
got excellent error correction. Does that CD have scratches?

Thank you, Greg and James, for your replies. You both are telling me pretty
much the same thing. I do have more problems though. When I pass
"ide2=0xeff0,0xefe6 boot=/dev/hde" the boot crashes at check filesystems. I
have 7 different linux partitions: /, /home, /usr, /tmp, /usr2, /usr3, and
swap. I'm getting "bad magic number in superblock" errors for /home, /usr2,
/usr, /tmp, and a "short read ... could this be a zero length partition?" error
for /usr3. e2fsck was able to fix /home with 'e2fsck -b 8193 /dev/hde5' but
can't do anything with the other partitions apparently. I formatted all my
partitions when I installed, so I don't understand how the partitions can have
errors on them.
Thanks again for your help.

Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Hi to you all...
I've been watching this newsgroup for some time now and I must say that
it has helped me a great deal with getting up to this point. However,
I'm stuck at that very point... ;-(
Here's the deal...
I running Redhat 6.1 on an Alpha (simple "noname" thing...) and compiled
kernel 2.2.17. So far it runs ok.
I also have a Promise UDMA/66 controller in the box (PDC20262 chip) and
in order to get it up and running I applied the ide patches for the
2.2.17 kernel.
I recompiled with PDC20262 support and now the kernel sees the promise
card (ide2 and ide3). However, when I attach a harddrive to it (Quantum
LM 15 GB UDMA/66) or an old ATAPI cdrom drive (normal IDE) I get
"interrupt lost" messages.
The same cdrom drive works well on the internal ide interface (ide0).
When I attach the Quantum drive, it is recognized during boot, but when
it tries to read the partion table, it sais "interrupt lost on hde".
This is shows for about three times and then the machine hangs. With the
cdrom drive attached I could get the box to boot although it still said
"interrupt lost", but as soon as I try to mount the cdrom things start
to go wrong.
Has anyone seen this before (I think people have... :-) and what can one
do about it? Should I just wait for the new 2.4 kernel to be available
for the Alpha (the test version reboots about 2 seconds after vmlinuz is
loaded). Has anyone got an 2.4 kernel running on an Alpha?
I hope you guys can help me with this...
Thanks and regards,
Olger Stoelinga

If you check the file /proc/pci and find the LNE100TX card's vendor ID
and device id, then
compare it with the source in the tulip.c file you will probably find
like I did that the device ID
is different. It was just a few numbers off. I edited the tulip.c file
and recompiled and it has
worked fine since. I also found a newer version of tulip.c that had the

Only if your BIOS supports the particular extension that the kernel

Not possible.
The 905B is the "Boomerang" card.
"Cyclone" is to 905C
But it really shouldn't matter. If you had a kernel that didn't support
the Cyclone (earlier than 2.0.36), you wouldn't have any network
connectivity at all.

A 386/sx has a 16-bit bus. So it can not handle more than 16M of RAM,
regardless of what you install.

Can't help here.

A 386 DX can accept gigabytes of RAM. (Assuming the motherboard's
chipset also support it - most don't.) But you have an SX, so 16M is a
hard limit.
> Someone gave me 2x8Mb SIMMs but the machine doesn't recognise them.
Where did you install them?
Because of the 16M limit, you'll have to remove your original 1920Kb
first. If the original memory is soldered on, you're SOL.
Also, note that some motherboards will only accept 8M - requiring you to
install an expansion board to max it out to 16M.

A 386 DX has no such limit. But an SX does.

If you can get at least 8M in there, you can do some basic work. But it
will be _very_ slow. Probably not worth using for very much.
I think you'd be much better off buying an old 486 from somewhere (You
can get them for about $10 these days), put your 16M of RAM in there,
and install Linux on that.

Date: Wed, 13 Sep 2000 14:39:41 GMT
Sound works fine in my root account. I don't get any wav/MIDI/MP3 output
in my user account, though. What could be the problem?
My chipset is an ESS ES1869 Audiodrive. I didn't
configure the card using isapnptools...warm boot in safe mode DOS is
needed to run sound in Linux. The other jacks (mic, line in/line out
jacks, master volume) and system beep work fine
in the user account though. (I use a CD player in the line in jack to
free up the PC's CD-ROM drive for other uses.) I also recently
uninstalled ALSA...I understand that all its modules reside in one
directory, but are there any other ALSA things I need to delete too?
I configured the OSSFree drivers in the kernel,
not as modules. SoundBlaster compatible.
Kernel 2.2.15 in Peanut-Linux (based on debian).

We tried them both with approximately the same hardware. Both had some
problems. The following is from a mail I sent to linux-net:
# The original problem was to get our 3c905 (and 3c905[BC]) cards working at
# 100Mbit full-duplex. We use Netgear-Boxes, for example FS104, as Switches.
# If I do not tell anything to the 3c59x-driver, it works at 100Mbit, but
# not full-duplex. First question: Is there any better way to find this out
# but to ftp to some nearby host?
#
# If I give it "options 3c59x debug=1 options=12 full_duplex=1" it still
# works, as far as I can see. If I plug the cable out of the Netgear-Box and
# plug it in again, the Netgear-Box thinks is is in 100Mbit half-duplex mode
# (ifconfig starts telling me that it sees lots of errors). I think something
# is wrong with the autonegotiation.
#
# If I use the 3c90x-driver by 3com I have the following problems: First it
# does not work with plain 3c905-cards (of which we still have a bunch),
# second it crashes after some minutes of chargen on an SMP machine. 100Mbit
# FDX works.
#
# For my tests I used Linux version 2.2.14 with NFS V3-patches by Trond
# Myklebust (NFS v3 is considered a killer feature over here) and sometimes
# (always for the 3c90x-driver tests) 3c90x by 3com patched into the kernel.
# All NIC-drivers were modules. If I forgot relevant information please ask.
I do not know whether this behavior has been fixed in the meantime.

What permission bits are set on the sound devices? Can the user

THe 3c90x-driver will work prefectly with this card. The 3c59x will also =
work,
but from time to time it will generate error messages

Date: Wed, 13 Sep 2000 10:18:26 -0500
I'm kinda a newbie, so maybe someone else may know what the problem is, but
my thinking is related to when you installed the os. In a previous message,
someone said to use ide=0xeff1,0xefe7. Not sure what effect that has, but it
was using one number outside the brackets ([])and one in side. My
configuration is an old 4gig drive as master on the primary interface and a
new IBM 75GXP 30gig as on the secondary interface. I have my CD-ROM plugged
into the motherboard IDE secondary interface. My /proc/pci for the Promise
card says:
Bus 0, device 19, function 0:
Unknown mass storage controller: Promise Technology Unknown device (rev
1).
Vendor id=105a. Device id=4d38.
Medium devsel. IRQ 5. Master Capable. Latency=64.
I/O at 0xec98 [0xec99].
I/O at 0xeca8 [0xeca9].
I/O at 0xeca0 [0xeca1].
I/O at 0xecac [0xecad].
I/O at 0xec00 [0xec01].
so my /etc/lilo.conf has:
append="ide2=0xec98,0xecaa ide3=0xeca0,0xecae"
which conforms to the howto:
http://www.ibiblio.org/mdw/HOWTO/mini/Ultra-DMA-5.html#ss5.1
If there I/O address were slightly different when you formated, it may be
causing the problem.
Hope this helps,

Ok, I got the card running after doing a new pnpdump and isapnp =
and adjusting the shown parameters in modules.conf (which differ
from the sources that alsasound was using before, e.g. interrupt.
Alsa was using 5, now isapnp tells me to use 7. Strange!)
Anyway, it works and thanks for all your help :-)
Best,
Frank

on the other hand, if I can connect this printer to a Windows machine, and
share it though Samba, can I print from linux through the windows
machine? If so, what filter should I use when I set it up under linux?
thanx in advance,

Well,
I was able to compile kernel 2.2.16 with a patch for promise support,
and I dd'd the image onto a floppy, and now I can boot into my kernel.
But only with the floppy. I guess that will do for now.
Thanks for the help,
Ken
