Subject: Interest in IBM WaveRunner Linux drivers?
Date: Fri, 15 Dec 2000 15:38:32 GMT

Are there any people interested in a LINUX driver for the IBM WaveRunner
ISDN digital modem that might be willing to beta test the driver?

We are looking for at least 3 testers of each of various Linux versions
(Redhat, Slackware, Mandrake, etc..). At this time this is an UNPAID
trial. These testers must have internet access to provide diagnostic
reporting. We desire platforms to be small-ish, meaning 386, 486 or
pentiums, with 8 meg ram and up.

There will be two versions of modules, one that will use I4L and one
that is a stand alone device interface.

Successful candidates will be eligible for additional paid product
testing, including the SohoNet total control system.

Interested parties should send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Simplified explanation:
IRQ 2 and IRQ 9 is the same interrupt. Inside the PC there are two chips
(IRQ controllers), each supporting 8 interrupt lines. The CPU is
connected to chip #1, then chip #1 irq 2 is connected to chip #2 irq 9.
This is called daisy-chaining or cascading. This way chip #2 reports irq
8 - 15 to chip #1 (as irq 2), and chip #1 reports irq 0, 1, 8-15, 3, 4,
5, 6, 7 to the CPU (as irq 0 - 7). If you do a "cat /proc/interrupts"
you will notice that irq 2 is marked "cascade".

Hope this helps.

        Trygve.

Hello everybody

After numerous attempts I still cannot turn DMA on for my disk. I remember
seeing somewhere, that it is important to have memory (SIIMs) of the same
type (for this?). I've got 2 EDO and 2 Fast Paging boards. Can this be the
reason why DMA doesn't turn on?

Grep will tell the filenames if there is more than one file.
If you just want to know the filename and not the actual
lines use grep -l "Hello World".

Select Secondary Master Option (N=Skip)

Option| size | cyls | Head|Precomp|Sector| Mode
======+======+======+=====+=======+======+=======
2(Y)  | 30739| 3737 | 255 |     0 |  63  | LBA
1     | 30740|59560 |  16 | 65535 |  63  | Normal
3     | 30740| 7445 | 128 | 65535 |  63  | Large

Option 2 is the default (Y), and that's what I've
been using...  This is an Award BIOS (on a Gigabyte
motherboard), and it's relatively modern now, since 
I had to flash it in August to get it to see more
than 64MB of RAM.  I Suppose I could look for 
another update, though, just in case there is one.

I'll upgrade LILO, and maybe I'll see if I can
figure out jumper settings (no instructions for
this came with the drive, unfortunately, and it's
not clear from the manufacturer's (IBM) website 
which settings apply to the drive that I have)
to change the drive to primary slave.  Would I
also need to change the settings on my old (WD)
drive to reflect the existence of a slave HD, or
is that automatic?  (It had the CD-ROM drive on
as slave before and that worked...)  Also, will
the CD-ROM drive (MTM, currently secondary slave,
was primary slave before) need jumper settings
changed if it no longer has a master HD on the
same cable?  Will I need to set it up as the
secondary master?

Well, any distro that doesn't support Alpha processors =)

Linux versions support if from ancient times, any recent one will
do. The arch will make more of a difference. For example Jensen users
have had some real problems. I used to have a noname and only X was 
tricky (I blame the S3 for that).

As mentioned in another thread, alphalinux.org is a good site and
I also recommend you check out the compaq site for CCC etc.

I used RH 4.2 and 5.0 when I still had that board.

Hi Gennadi,

Do you compile kernel by yourself or it is standard kernel which comes with
distribution?
You gave too little information what you have. In my case I compile own
kernel and found that I can not use DMA on this computer. I compare kernel
configuration with Radhat 6.1 standard kernel where I was able to use UDMA
and found that in the kernel which I compiled by myself I did not turn on
UDMA support (default is UDMA off). After recompile I was able use UDMA and
with hdparm I changed throutput from 3.5MB/s to 12MB/s on UDMA33 and from
4MB/s - 24MB/s on UDMA100.

Configured

setserial /dev/ttyS2 port 0xa400 irq 9 autoconfig

running setserial -g /dev/ttyS2 outputs the uart so the setserial
worked.

Now when I try to use kppp to query modem or dial it says modem busy.
I have a USB mouse that I use and ttyS0 for my keyboard.  The irq 9 is
used by some VIA drivers, but even when I configure the ttyS2 to irq 15
or any other it says busy.  I don't link to /dev/modem and in kppp set
it to ttyS2.  Nothing seems to work, keeps saying busy.  I harddrake it
recognizes the modem as USRobotics Pro (it's not a winmodem, but PCI).
I saw lots of post with this issue, but no solutions posted.
My soundcard uses irq 5, so that's not a conflict.  Can someone please
help.  Thanks.

Everything. Own kernel (2.2.17), DMA and other staff, including chipset
(triton - PIIX) support enabled, and lots of other things. IDE patch.
Kernel (LILO prompt) boot parameters... I've posted this problem to
various News-Groups and mailing lists MANY times, but no solution so far.
This is why I narrowed my question this time.

      Hello everybody

      After numerous attempts I still cannot turn DMA on for my
      disk. I remember
      seeing somewhere, that it is important to have memory (SIIMs)
      of the same
      type (for this?). I've got 2 EDO and 2 Fast Paging boards.
      Can this be the
      reason why DMA doesn't turn on?

      Thanks
