All available CD-burning software for Linux is written to talk to SCSI
devices. IDE-SCSI emulation provides a compatibility layer to enable IDE
CD-R/CD-RW drives to work with the software that's available for Linux.
You don't need an actual SCSI card in your computer, unless (like me) you
have some actual SCSI devices (such as a scanner). SCSI support, IDE-SCSI
emulation, and support for SCSI CD-ROM and SCSI generic devices are what you
want in order to burn CDs. Disable IDE CD-ROM support; through IDE-SCSI
emulation, IDE CD-ROM and DVD-ROM drives will be accessible as SCSI devices
(/dev/scd* instead of /dev/hd*).

Yes, I have, and no joy. Since yesterday I have tried the other
USB port on my machine, recompiled sane again, compiled another
linux kernel with USB in the kernel instead of as modules, and
still no joy. It's frustrating because the hardware is obviously
being recognized by the kernel, but sane refuses to use the
scanner device. When I rmmod the scanner module and then
"modprobe scanner" to reload it I get this:
Dec 31 21:31:50 starfleet kernel: usb.c: deregistering driver
usbscanner
Dec 31 21:31:54 starfleet kernel: usb.c: registered new driver
usbscanner
Dec 31 21:31:54 starfleet kernel: scanner.c: probe_scanner: User
specified USB scanner -- Vendor:Product - 4b8:101
Dec 31 21:31:54 starfleet kernel: scanner.c: USB Scanner support
registered.
Then if I try to run "scanimage -L" I get this:
[john@starfleet john]$ scanimage -L
No scanners were identified. If you were expecting something
different,
check that the scanner is plugged in, turned on and detected by
the
find-scanner tool (if appropriate). Please read the documentation
which came
with this software (README, FAQ, manpages).
The sane documentation suggests that I can specify a device from
the command line:
[john@starfleet john]$ scanimage -d /dev/usbscanner1
scanimage: open of device /dev/usbscanner1 failed: Invalid
argument
You seem to have specified a UNIX device name, or filename
instead of selecting
the SANE scanner or image acquisition device you want to use. As
an example,
you might want "epson:/dev/sg0" or "hp:/dev/usbscanner0". If any
supported
devices are installed in your system, you should be able to see a
list with
"scanimage --list-devices".
And if I try to add "epson" to the command line:
[john@starfleet john]$ scanimage -d epson:/dev/usbscanner1
scanimage: open of device epson:/dev/usbscanner1 failed: Invalid
argument
If I try /dev/usbscanner0 instead:
[john@starfleet john]$ scanimage -d epson:/dev/usbscanner0
Killed
I have to "kill -9" the process because it just sits there
writing this into the log files:

Date: Mon, 1 Jan 2001 16:29:27 +1100
Ok I have a problem trying to install Red hat 7.0 on a linux partition using
lilo as
a boot manager. I think it may have something to do with the way the 2 ATA66
hard disks
are detect (not through the bios, the bios trents them like SCSI or EXTRA
devices).
The message that appears after I go through any of the install options
either workstation, custom or server is:
"An error has occured - no valid devices were found on which to create new
filesystems.
Please check your hardware for the cause of this problem."
Then you push "OK" and it restarts the PC.
Please help me I really would like to run linux without rebuilding my
system, I have already
created the Linux partition using Partition Magic so I don't think that is
the problem. I
don't wnat to format the disk because I don't think that is the problem. Is
there some
incompatabilities with ATA 66 controller cards or motherboard's that have
them onboard like
mine (it is a ABIT BE6) which has four onboard IDE controllers 2 for the old
ATA33 and 2 for
ATA66.

Without the "sleep 2" the scanner recognition was unreliable. (This
happened with Kernel 2.2.16 with the USB-Backport, maybe it is better
now)
I do not load the USB-modules on bootup. They are loaded on demand when
I access the scanner for the first time.
Some additional notes:
1. The kernel messages I get from the usb modules are very different
from yours. Is your kernel an unmodified 2.2.18?
2. I have no /proc/bus/usb/devices. The directory /proc/bus/usb is
empty.

i hope to use this under Linux.
and i hope to convert Efficient 3010 Linux Driver

1. linux booting ( kernel 2.4.0.12 )
2. insmod lanai.o ( 3010 Driver )
3. atmarpd -d ( ? )
4. atmsigd -b ( ? )
5. atmsrp -c ( make /dev/atm0 )
6. ifconfig atm0 up ( ? )

You can get the video driver and X11 Server for the i810/i810e from
Intel. Do a search for 'Intel 810 Linux drivers' on Google. It should
be the first result. I haven't gotten sound running yet, but I recall

As to AMR modems, this is something I'm researching myself. You may
want to drop by www.linmodems.org and see if your card is listed.

Hey Mariusz,
I'm in a similar position myself, trying to get the Aztech MR8800 working
under Linux. Problem is the SM56 chipset doesn't implement
modulation/demodulation, but rather delegates it to a software driver.
You can get a generic modem driver from
http://www.enst.fr/~bellard/linmodem.html which implements V21 and V23,
with V34 coming "Some Time Real Soon". You'll still need a separate
driver to allow the linmodem driver to communicate with the SM56.
I'm doing some research in this direction, and will let you know if I
make any headway.

Ian

hi everybody.
i got a problem with my sound configuration. namely i use two (2) soundcards
at a time - i have my reasons. one of them is the well-known and -supported
creative soundblaster live! - the other is the on-board via 82c686 audio
controller with ac'97 codec chip.
i am using suse linux 7.0 pro, but none of the soundcards is recognized by
yast2.
nevertheless i have built in support for the sblive into the kernel as
module, and, see, it works fine.
now the problem: i cannot get working the two sound devices to work together
when configuring them BOTH as a module: sblive (module) and via-chip
(static) works fine, but not BOTH as a MODULE!!!
i've checked the /etc/modules.conf thoroughly: there are some default
entries for the sblive which i activated when using it, but there's nothing
for the via-chip. nevertheless i tried some values but it wouldn't work.
my question: can anybody tell me how (generally) (1) to make two soundcards
work together when both of them having been compiled as a module, and (2)
what the module parameters for the via82c686 chip are ? (modinfo -p
via82cxxx_audio doesn't report anything ... :((( )

Yes. You can configure gpm to handle two mice -- when you've got that
working, you can use the gpm repeater mode, which outputs the mouse data
elsewhere, and feed it into XFree86 with a suitable mouse dev and mouse type
set up.
Use two mice here- one PS/2 & one specialised serial trackball (for my
partner, who is disabled.)
