Correct. RH 7.0 should have it; RH 6.2 does as I'm running it and I have
a AcceleRAID 250. Note that the driver is a 'block' driver, not a SCSI
driver. The normal install should find it if the hardware setup is correct.
Note that if you're using it for a RAID level, then you need to set up the
raid configuration BEFORE you try to install your OS. I used the onboard
configuration to set up my RAID 5 and then installed Linux on it.

It's a crossover Cat 5e by Belkin, sealed, from CompUSA. I just exchanged it
for another one, same brand same everything. Again, the leds don't light up
when I connect it between either card (eth0 EtherPower - SMC and eth1
EtherFast - Linksys) to the OTHER computer (eth0 3Com). HOWEVER, when I
connect eth0 and eth1 on the SAME computer it works.

Well, I am stumped on that one.
I know that a straight cable results in the 'link' lights not lighting
up when you go direct. The only other thing I can throw into the pot
is the fact that I had my system working under Windows at the time but
that should make no difference at all ...
Heck, maybe some of the cards are snobish and don't feel that they
should talk to the guy in the poor end of town .... at this point your
guess is as good as mine. If the modem works on all the cards
individually then the only thing else that could be tried in
desperation is to start juggling cards. Maybe the eth0 and eth1 cards
don't like to talk to the other guy for some reason. I would try
swapping the cards so that the cards currently talking on the same
computer would talk via different computers.
The last thing would be anything that qualifies under the Simpsons
'Doooohh' rule where something short circuits in your brain and you do
something real stupid (something that I am VERY good at..)
Good luck !!

Hi. Sorry, should have made myself clearer. I can read from both the DVD

is no problem, but I have not tried burning in Mandrake yet. Maybe this

If there's something wrong with the filesystem on that disk, there's a
possible way to fix everything. I've done something similar to this on
a ZIP-100 disk that had been mangled, and I was able to recover 90% of
all data. So:
dd if=/dev/hdd of=/path/to/somewhere/filename bs=32k
(copy the entire disk to your hard drive, so the disk itself gets
preserved no matter what)
dosfsck -r /path/to/somewhere/filename
(attempt to repair filesystem interactively. If successful,)
mount -t vfat /path/to/somewhere/filename /mnt/mountpoint -o loop
(mount filesystem image on /mnt/mountpoint, retrieve what you need with
standard cp/mv/whatever!)
If the dd command in the first line starts reporting errors, then it's
likely the disk is physically damaged. There are programs like ddrescue
which can read damaged media with some degree of success, or you can
just pass "conv=noerror" to dd and hope for the best. HTH, bonne
chance....

If you have a good cable of the right type connecting 2 good NICs that
are powered-on, you should see a link light. First, make sure that it's
not the cable. (If you made the cable yourself, after drinking 4 beers,
it's unlikely the cable will work. Personal experience.) Borrow a
known good crossover cable and see if that solves your problem? You
don't need a hub unless you want to expand your little network beyond 2
machines at some point in the future, so if you do, get a hub or switch
now.

Hiyas
Has anyone out there got a AIMS RadioTrack II Live working under Linux (note
*the Live* bit)? (For UKers, as in, the card available earlier this year
from Maplin?)
It's an 8-bit ISA radio card.
I assumed that the RadioTrack II driver (radio-rtrack2) would work on it,
and it doesn't seem to (BTW FYI I'm not a newbie, I do have lots of module
experience, previous experience configuring video4linux devices, and the odd
bit of kernel hacking, etc -- unfortunately the driver would seem to be
output/control only, no status, so there's no magic way to find out if
communications with the device are working or not other than to see whether
it works or not. *8-()
I have a strong suspicion that the radio tuner chip at the heart of the card
may have changed!
However that is difficult to verify as although I know that this card is
based on the TEA5757 tuner, I can't find any information or clues as to what
the earlier model used!
There's a new driver for a PCI card based on the very same chip in the newer
2.3/2.4 series kernels. Me thinks the TEA5757 may well be fairly newish? I
had assumed that the card was old stock when bought (which was a good few
months back now), however the manual is dated January 2000 and the PDF for
the tuner chip is dated late 1999 and it's only in the newer [2.3/2.4]
kernels that theres any mention of any cards using this chip.
Any thoughts/opinions/information/ideas/kind-offers-of-help?
*8-)

I'm currently learning how elinux/uClinux works on a tiny 3x5" board w/ a 100
mips processor rs485, 2rs232, 8M dram, 2M flash and a 100mbps connection. The
whole board sells in single unit quantities for just under $300; the place I
work for will rip a new PC, modify it to have 8M flash and leave out the stuff
we don't need for a BOM of about $170. I'm considering buying one of them for
home automation.
The wildest part is programming a varient of a modern OS kernel w/out a memory
management unit. Lacking the MMU has made it the exception. Fork() a
process, and all it's global variables are in common w/ it's parent. I'm
currently struggling with what seems like all the stack variables of main(...)
being converted to globals and getting trashed by the child. I run a for loop
w/ "whoami" being indexed from 0 to N and somehow the child gets duplicate
values whereas it runs perfectly on the desktop.
joy.

I suspect you've got a partitioned disk, rather than a flat filesystem. I
don't know how ls120 disks work, but zip disks typically comes this way.
Try running
fdisk -l /dev/hdd
If so, then mount -t vfat /dev/hdd1 /mnt (e.g.)

The cards may not be autonegotiating properly. Look for the documentation
for the relevant drivers and try to set them manually to the same speed
and duplex.
For instance, the tulip documentation found at
http://www.scyld.com/network/tulip.html
allows you to set the speed to 100baseTx and full duplex like this:
modprobe tulip options=3 full_duplex=1

The "modem is busy" error can also be caused by the failure of "Kppp" to
find the modem.
There seems to be a basic conceptual problem with the use of "setserial"
or its GUI equivalent.
You say that you changed the port address to "0x03e8". But, what did
you
actually do?
The port address is hardware. Did you change it with jumpers or how?
Or,
did the BIOS change it?
The command "setserial" does absolutely nothing to the hardware. What
it
sets is the software driver: 'serial'.
The hardware port address is a given fact. You configure the software
driver to find it.
I don't exactly know how ISA PnP works -- my system is all PCI. But, I
am
guessing that you can't change the hardware -- only the BIOS can.
You probably have an interrupt conflict between the modem and the sound
card. What to do about this depends on the type of sound card you have.
Most BIOSs allow you to reserve a particular interrupt for "Legacy ISA"
or reserve an IRQ for a specific PCI slot. Depending on what type of
sound card you have (PCI, ISA PnP, or ISA with jumpers) one of these
options might work.

I go to gmix and turn everthing up and make sure nothing is muted
try a wav in control center again-->silence

Subject: How can I change the booting order?
Date: Sat, 16 Dec 2000 07:08:27 GMT
=====================================
Dell PowerEdge 2450, BIOS version A05
Linux 7.0
Raidtec external RAID array
Adaptec 29160 SCSI card
=====================================
In short: how can I reverse /dev/sda and /dev/sdb?
I am setting up a database server. Linux is in the internal
disks (under Dell's PERC hardware RAID) and the database will
be in the external RAID array attached to an Adaptec 29160 HBA.
As you all know SCSI has a hierarchical nature:
- HBA
- Channel
- SCSI device (0-7 or 0-15)
- LUN
So if you have a complicated system, you need to specify the
boot device like this:
Boot from HBA x, Channel y, SCSI ID n, LUN z
Dealing with the computer's BIOS and the HBAs BIOS, I have
found ways to specify booting priority for the last 3 above
(channel, SCSI ID and LUN) but not for the HBA.
My big problem is that I need a way to say: "This HBA has
booting priority over that HBA".
Dell used to have a BIOS setting that allowed me to specify
PCI bus scanning from left to right or viceversa.
Additionally I could give priority to built-in HBAs over
actual SCSI cards (or viceversa).
Unfortunately, my current Dell BIOS doesn't to allow me
to specify priority for the different PCI devices.
At installation time, I get the 2 disks (sda and sdb) in the wrong
order; I need the system disk to be sda and the data disk sdb.
That way, even if the external disk is absent, sda will always
be the first disk. If I have the OS in sdb and the other disk is
missing, the system disk will become sda and all sorts of
confusion will follow.

This is quite odd. I have a Soundblaster 16 PCI and my output from "lspci -v" is:
00:14.0 Multimedia audio controller: Ensoniq ES1371 (rev 06)
Subsystem: Unknown device 1274:1371
Flags: bus master, slow devsel, latency 64, IRQ 11
I/O ports at c000
Capabilities: [dc] Power Management version 1
I set mine up with "sndconfig" and it worked.
So, it appears that you have a different model. The SB128 perhaps?
The Sound-HOWTO says that it is supported but doesn't seem to be much help:

Using OSS (not ALSA) you may add those lines to /etc/modules.conf before
"modprobe sound2 or anything else:
alias sound es1371
alias sound-slot-0 es1371
alias sound-slot-0-0 es1371
alias sound-slot-0-1 es1371
alias sound-slot-0-3 es1371
alias sound-slot-0-4 es1371
The first 0 means "the 1� sound card". Other numbers (0,1,3,4) are services
(dsp, mixer, ...)
I run it on Mandrake 2.4.0-test11 and work fine, but it must work on kernel
2.2.x also.
