Hello,
as you self announced you're a beginner in Linux, so why do you compile
a new kernel?
Please read some docs:
http://world.std.com/~franl/linux.html
shows you were to look, if you read all/most off them, go back and compile your
kernel....
Sorry, good luck...

I think you might be better off with an ATI All-in-Wonder (PCI 16mb variety)
if you want something that works right now... from what I gather from some
of the notes on that site.

I am having trouble getting a network card to work in a AT&T machine.
The machine has a riser card, and it seems that on multiple OS's I am
recieving the same error message. I have tried running OpenBSD,
FreeBSD, Red Hat, Slackware, and Win 95. I also booted into a
DOS prompt and ran the cards diagnostic program (its a linkSYS 10/100)
and it says the card is messd up...but it works fine in every other
machine i put it in besides this one. Any Idea's? I am totally at a

Since you want to use the installer, you need to install to some medium it
supports. IE what you need is a SCSI or IDE disk or such that you install
onto first and then move your system from there (using a newer kernel) to
the at that point supported better drive. This is a bit tricky but logical
process.
.. or you need another installer.
Could you perhaps connect that hd to the motherboard if it has an IDE bus?
It should downgrade itself to using some other PIO/DMA mode with which you
can install it. Then just swap and it should go. (May need to disable the mb
ide ports etc to get LILO to boot right. Do make a bootdisk.)

Hey
I work for Adaptec. I looked into your problem. What I found is the 1505
doesn't have a BIOS so you cannt boot from it. It's not intelligent enough.
This controller uses a different driver called the "sparrow" driver. I
don't know if we have a Linux driver for it. The scsi driver development is
being transferred from Doug Ledford to our office in Longmont CO. I think
Justine Gibbs is responsible for those. I don't want to give out someone
else's
email address in a public forum. But if you will write me at
[EMAIL PROTECTED] and I will look up the correct address.
We will try to work something out for you.
BTW: I am the author/maintainer of the I2O RAID drivers for Linux.

Funny you should mention it, I'm going through the same problem, same setup
almost - Sony DVD ROM on Secondary IDE as master and Matshita 8x 4x CD RW
as slave.
The message I get cycles in any console and just contains the following:
ATAPI device hdd:
Error: Not ready -- (sense key=0x02)
(reserved error code) -- (asc=0x3a,ascq=0x01)
The failed "Read Cd/Dvd Capacity" packet command was
"25 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00"
I have tried different combinations of jumper settings, even putting the
drives on different IDE cables. Cos I have spare CD ROM's I even tried
replacing the Sony DVD with a different drive. Nothing works. I have been
unable to configure the CDRW to work under Linux (RedHat 6.2 or 7.0),
(despite reading various cd burning HOWTO's and articles on cdrecord)
although it works fine under NT4 (dual boot machine) with the Adaptec
driver.
I am interested to find you managed to get the burner working as I started
to think the above error was causing the problem. Back to the drawing board
I guess. If you find out the cause of the above error msg, or you have some
tips you'd like to share regarding getting a burner working I'm all ears
:-).

I can't vouch for the chipset, but my just recently purchased CUV4X
mobo works great with Slackware Linux 7.0 (kernels 2.2.13, 2.2.14, and
2.2.15). It's the mobo without the builtin sound support.

BeOS has its own filesystem, BeOS File System, or BFS.
The BeOS people claim it is superior, of course. For the
moment this is of lesser importance, since BeOS can read
and write ext2 and vfat filesystems also, so I can store
data on those for sharing purposes. It would be nice to
be able to mount it eventually, though. Any idea which
newsgroup would know about such things?

The version that ships with RedHat 6.0, but I can upgrade. I

Thank you both for your help. I'm going to start by backing
up the relatively small amount of data I already have on the

maybe its jumper settings and cable hookup...

Subject: Re: Problems w/ ide patch and Promise controller
Date: 15 Dec 2000 14:36:47 GMT
Hi again,
Sorry for the duplicate posting earlier. I think I've found
a solution to the problem, and a clue to the problem's source. After
upgrading to kernel 2.4.0-test12 with ide patch version 1210, I saw
two things:
1. /dev/hdg now does dma properly (yay!)
2. kudzu suddenly told me that a had a ps/2 device
The second item implies that somehow the ps/2 device and ide3 were
stumbling over each other when I was running 2.2.16. I know it
wasn't just an interrupt conflict, because that was one of the things
I checked (and re-re-re-checked) while trying to solve the problem.
Anyway, for what it's worth, I'd suggest that anyone having
similar problems with this combination of Intel PPro motherboard and
Promise controllers try upgrading to 2.4.0. Also, if the ide patch
maintainers are listening, they might want to take a look at the code
with this ps/2 oddity in mind.
