I'm a happy user ;) of RTL8029 based card. I use NE2000 driver. During
loading the kernel everything seems to be OK (driver recognizes the card as
a clone of NE2000). However when I try to use ifconfig to give to the card
proper IP adress, netmask etc. the system hangs. The only thing I can do is
to reset the sytem (using the "magic button").
With the card I received RTL8029 driver. Nevertheless it can't help me
because during the recompilation of kernel I can notice whole list of
errors. The recompilaton stops and that's it.
Oh, I've forgot to tell you. I use 2.2.17 kernel.
Please help me!

Hi,
I have no help for you at the moment, but I just experienced the same
problem with 2.2.17 and NE2000 driver. 2.2.16 and 2.4.0test are working
fine. If I found something helpful, I'll post it here.

Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I have a PCMCIA ethernet card with an NE2000 compatable module for it,
(using strings on the .o file I have been supplied with). My card
manager is running, but when I put in the PCMCIA card I get a low then
high beep.
What I do not understand is where do I specify that I want my LNA100.o
module to be loaded as the driver for the PCMCIA card? I am using SuSE
6.3 and in the list of devices I can only pick PCMCIA, which starts up
the card manager, but there is nothing which loads the PCMCIA module. I
have been looking at the PCMCIA HowTo and it comments on my problem with
SCIOxxxx errors, but I get no errors when I look at the dmesg output, as
, I guess, it is not loading a driver for the PCMCIA device so has no
problem?
Thanks

Please show where I stated that. Your argumentation (which you
have cut out) was that it would work as long as you weren't using
both devices at the same time. That is correct, but that isn't
IRQ sharing; it is an "either - or" situation - and that's what I
wrote in my previous posting. The whole point of sharing IRQs on
the HW level (and that's what is meant with IRQ sharing) is to
be able to use a level-triggered IRQ line just like the PCI
bus does it, and to have multiple devices using the same IRQ line
properly at the same time. Unfortunately, the ISA bus was never really
designed to make this happen, and therefor uses edge-triggered IRQ
lines.
>You then suggested
>disabling the second serial port in the BIOS which is clearly not needed.
If you need both ports working at the same time, it is, unless you
can put both devices on different IRQs. If you have a mouse on
ttyS1 and a modem on ttyS3, you'll not be able to use both of them
at the same time, unless either your hardware supports IRQ sharing
(which means specific HW is used), or you have setup your serial
ports for separate IRQs.
If you don't believe me, read the Serial-HOWTO.

Subject: corrupted filesystem
Date: Tue, 03 Oct 2000 12:44:09 +0200
Hello,
resetting a mammoth2-streamer connected to SCSI-controller 3 (means
the 4th one) caused the complete bus to hang; when trying to reboot
the machine I was told that the filesystem could not be umounted and
the complete machine didn't respond any more. So I didn't see another
way than to turn off the power (arrgh...). When rebooting fsck checked
all harddisks because of not being umounted cleanly. The machine
seamed to recover (some corrections were made) when I was informed
that there are non recoverable errors. I was offered the choice to
boot up normally or to enter maintenance mode. As the machine had to
be up again I decided to complete the bootprocess hoping to fix the
probs when there is time to shut down the machine for a while. When
continuing I got the following message(s):
"EXT2-fs warning: mounting unchecked fs, running e2fsck is recommended
EXT2-fs error (device sd(8,6)): ext2_check_blocks_bitmap: Wrong free
blocks count for group 2, stored = 2031, counted = 2030
EXT2-fs error (device sd(8,6)): ext2_check_blocks_bitmap: Wrong free
blocks cou... a.s.o."
So there are (at least) three questions I hope to get an answer to:
Is there a way to recover a SCSI bus after this kind of reset without
rebooting?
Which device is described by "device sd(x,y)"
How to proceed: umount the faulty filesystem and run e2fsck on it ?
(And what to do, when there are still unrecoverable errors?)
Thanks in advance

First of all, You can booting RH6.1, from Your Primary Master IDE.
After then, mount / of Your 5.1 RH & just copy rh-51 kernel to your
/boot.
Add new line about additional kernel to Your /etc/lilo.conf & specify
root= to existing rh51 root.
Run lilo.
If necessary, editing /etc/fstab on rh51 root partition.

Date: Tue, 03 Oct 2000 12:55:23 +0100
Hi. I've just recompiled my 2.2.17 kernel with support for my Creative
Ensoniq (ES1371, I think) sound card. When I use freeamp or mpg123 to
play the sounds via the esd sound daemon I get background crackling and
static, not too dissimilar in sound to radio interference. It still
occurs when the monitor is off so I doubt it is that. Everything seems
fine when I log out back to gdm and then run mpg123 from the console.
>From a spot of initial listening this morning the interference seems to
correspond to system activity, as viewed via a panel applet. It is not
very loud, but is very noticable.
Does anyone know of any way round this? I'm loathe to start buying new
cables if it is actually the esd sound daemon. I can live without system
sounds quite easily, I just want to play mp3's.
FYI, the system is an AMD Duron with a Microstar 6330 motherboard and
128Mb. The Ensoniq driver is compiled into the kernel. I am running
Redhat 6.2 with Helix Gnome and the latest updates (I think).
A quick look at deja seems to indicate people may have had problems with
buffers and Ensoniq before ie they need to be enlarged to fix some
problems. However, I couldn't find any articles discussing interference.
Any suggestions?

on linhardware.com such as : it is perfectly working , but also
It doesn't work at all. Somebody said it was recognized but
the X server locks all the time.
So has any MAXX user encountered problems with it on linux
or is it simply recognized as a rage 128 pro and working good.
(It 's sur I don't need the full power of the card under linux, I just
want it to work fine).

I do have two hard disks, sda and sdb. On sda I have NT and on sdb I
have Suse Linux 6.3. and I boot Linux from a floppy disk. Now I do want
to get rid of NT (never use it anyway, since my computer runs an HTTP
Apache server under Linux).
My first question is: can I safely reformat the sda disk into native
Linux partitions ? will I still be able to boot from my original lilo
floppy disk? ( I tried to physically remove SDA, but then boot ran into
a panic)
My second question is: can I safely install another linux distribution
on sda (say Suse 7) and boot either from sda or sdb ?
can I still use the same floppy disk to boot sdb that I am using now
(and make another floppy disk to boot from sda)?
I just want to be sure not to run into a situation were I could not
reboot sdb, because of all the time I have spent on configuring Apache,

Chris,
yes, there is support for the 3com AirConnect cards - get yourself the latest
pcmcia package (I am using 3.1.20) + the spectrum24t-1.00.tar.gz from the
contrib directory. Read all the READMEs, install the Spectrum24t source, and do
your make config, make all, make install.
You have to edit /etc/pcmcia/config and add a like
# in the device driver section
device "Spectrum24t"
class "network" module "spectrum24t_cs"
# in the Ethernet adapter section
card "3CRWE737A AirConnect Wireless LAN PC Card"
manfid 0x0101, 0x0001
bind "Spectrum24t"
To configure the 3Com card, follow the instructions in README.Spectrum24t -- a
line like the following to the end of your /etc/pcmcia/config.opts
module "spectrum24t_cs" opts "network_name=YouWLANName"
I wasn't able to get the ANY network_name running, but setting the specific
network name works fine!
If you want to make use of the 5.5 and 11MB/s capabilities of the card apply
the attached patch to change the internal parameters to accept the new numbers
and set the default to allow all supported xmit rates.
cd <your_pcmcia_source_path>/clients
patch patch Spectrum24tSw.c < <path_to_patch>/3com.patch
Don't forget to rebuild and install at least the spectrum24t driver...
Hope this helps - best regards,
Immanuel
P.S. If somebody of the PCMCIA guys is reading this - thanks for the package!
Could you please include the Spectrum24t/3Com version into one of the next
packages ?

Interesting; I've been looking for cases of people running with dual
Coppermines. I have a Supermicro PIIIDME board with dual 733 Coppermines
and Linux 2.4-SMP does not recognise the IO-APICs. In fact, it's
unstable unless I boot with the "noapic" parameter, which is a bit of a
disappointment. What are your experiencies with the Coppermine CPUs?
Cheers,
Chris

You should be able to get X running without this - but here goes anyway:
I believe you need to enable the "ask for incomplete and/or development
drivers" (Or something to that effect) in the kernel config.
