Download the binaries from the same site (provided that you have the

If you're using coax, use 3c5x9cfg to set your card to BNC rather then
auto detect.

Just a guess, but you may have an IRQ conflict. (That was the problem when
it happened to me.) Look at your /etc/pcmcia/config.opts file, and ensure that
the right IRQs are included and excluded.
Hope this helps,

You didn't really search for it, did you? This topic has really
been discussed to death over the years, and a careful search at
http://www.deja.com/home_ps.shtml would have given you thousands

[...]
Depends. The problematic part with IRQ settings on the PC
is the rather broken design of that architecture in the first place.
It roughly comes down to that:
a) It's either up to the system's BIOS to give the appropriate
resources to the various interfaces installed or up to the
OS. Prior to the PNP stuff, it was always the BIOS or the
interfaces themselves that had to be configured that way.
b) PNP really only works for PCI cards. Especially as far as
sharing an IRQ in between several cards is concerned; while
PCI has been defined to be able to share IRQs amongst several
PCI cards, ISA never really supported that out of the box
(that is, unless special hardware is used, like intelligent
multiport cards do it). And even some PCI cards do not
really work if they share an IRQ; typically, this is a driver
issue (because not only the HW, but as well the driver needs
to support shared IRQs). This is often the case with TV cards,
certain SCSI cards and the combination of SCSI and networking
cards (specifically in Linux, but not only there; the same thing
happens on NT and even Win9* machines sometimes).
c) Newer BIOS versions will NOT assign any IRQs to PCI cards
if the option PNP-OS is set to "yes/enabled". This is just
plain broken, IMHO, and will result in a partially non-working Linux
system unless corrected. If you get a message that a PCI card
was assigned IRQ 0, you are suffering from such a setting.
d) Linux is not really a PNP OS; while the PCI cards will
(see above) usually just work with the settings assigned by
the BIOS, the ISA cards need a special treatment. There are
the isapnptools that will take care of that: If installed,
run "pnpdump > /etc/isapnp.conf" and edit the resulting file
to your likings (you do have to specify the IRQ/DMA/I-O settings
for the cards manually in that file, but the pnpdump command
will show the available ranges for each card and setting).
e) Serial ports can either be autoconfigured or setup by
isapnp as well (internal modem cards, e.g.). If setup by
isapnp, you'll have to tell the Linux kernel about the new
settings for the serial ports, using the "setserial" command.
Once completed, the "setserial ..." statement has to be put
into one of the standard startup scripts to be executed automatically
each time you startup Linux.
f) To check for available resources, use the /proc filesystem.
A simple "cat < /proc/interrupts" will show all IRQs in use,
"cat < /proc/dma" all DMA settings in place and
"cat < /proc/devices" all configured devices.
HTH, HAND

A real modem would be the best solution. Make sure the module is loading

IRQ setup is pretty much dependent on the hardware, you can list
/proc/interrupts for a list. Most things are pretty well fixed, 3 and 4
are com ports , 6 is the floppy controller, 12 ps/2 mouse, 13 is mathco,
14 an 15 ide contollers. usually the only ones available are 5,7,9,10
and 11. sound cards usually are assigned 5, NICs on 10 and parallel
ports on 7. For the PCI bus, those cards can usually share IRQs.

Not all of IBMs products use their microchannel bus, check the docs for
your machine.
Microchannel is a bus, micro-atx is form factor which specifies how the
motherboard is laid out.
The kernel supports microchannel, but it may not be included in all
distros.

working perfect here. You just need to apply the ide-patch from
ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/hendrik(?) to your
kernel (2.2.16/7) or use a 2.4.0-testx kernel to get the promise
driver. I had problems with 2.4.0-test8,so I recommend
using 2.4.0-test7 or a patched 2.2.17....

It's propably your IRQ. The driver doesn't always detect the IRQ right, and
that means the machine isn't interrupted when a packet arrives (and is thus
never sent to the driver).
You can send packets though, as that generates no interrupts.
Set the card with some utility to be in non-pnp mode and set the IO/IRQ's
manually (for example to io 0x300 and irq 10)

Subject: Keyboard works in single-user mode; not in multi-user
Date: Tue, 26 Sep 2000 08:18:29 -0400
Can anyone give me a clue why this is happening:
When I boot up to the "LILO boot:" prompt, if I type in "linux", the
keyboard won't work when I get to the "login" prompt (booting into text
mode, not X windows). I can telnet into the system, but can't get the
keyboard to affect anything, even the screen blanker.
But, if I enter "linux single" at the "LILO boot:" prompt, the
keyboard DOES work, and I can log in normally. But can't do much.
What would cause this behavior?

Subject: Re: LS120 C/H/S values
Date: Tue, 26 Sep 2000 12:34:31 GMT
I don't have a complete answer to this problem but I think I have some
relevant ideas.
You can't boot from the LS120 as a floppy in an old 386 machine because
the LS120 mounts as a hard drive. So my idea is, install the hardware
LS120 as the first hard drive.
Now, in a Slackware Linux, you can look in the bootdsk and rootdsk
subd's and find a `bare.i' boot file and a `rescue' root file. So
follow instructions for making a boot and a root disk; and with the
LS120 first hard drive in place, load the boot and then the rescue
disks, which gives you a basic Linux system running in memory. (It
wants 8 MB memory.) At this point you can remove the root disk so
you have an empty floppy drive you can use later. (If you put another
floppy into the machine at this point, remember to mount it.)
You also have Linux running in your machine, so you can now start the
Linux fdisk and (you don't mount it yet) you can fdisk the LS120 at
hda to find out how it is made. I expect you will find it msdos
partitioned into four 32 MB subd's, which can be fixed if you have a
full Linux system by catting zeros into it.
Anyhow, at this point, I'd have to play around to find where to go
from here. But I think I would try installing a basic Linux into the
four 32 MB partitions, and go on from there.
Alternatively, how about a hard drive at hdb and boot from a normal
boot disk made from the Linux?
I think the `rescue' disk, while very good for problem coping, has a
slightly misleading name because there is so much you can do with this
little Linux that runs in memory only. When you get your system up,
I think you could get a lot of good out of playing with your boot /
rescue disk system just to become familiar with it. Don't go into
Linux without it!
