THis is the difference between a hardware modem and a software modem,
not between isa and pci. But I agree, that is probably what the
questioner MEANT to ask.

considering that a modem can manage 56 THOUSAND BITS per second, and a
pci bus can manage 33 * 4 = 133 MILLION BYTES per second, one might
guess so.  A safety factor of 2000 is usually safe enough.

Hello!

For research work we want to use a high class PC with linux(SuSE). The
PC will be configured with 2 Processors, 4-8 GByte RAM and several SCSI
hard disks.

Is it in general possible to use this configuration with Linux? Which
components (especially board) are recommended? Should we us the
(cheaper) AMD-Processors or Intel-Processors(we heard, that AMD-P.
produce  arithmetic errors)?

Thank you for your advise!

Two processors are no problem with Linux but you can't use AMD in
a multi processor environment because there are no mainboards for it
out, yet. In a few month there should be some.
AFAIK the IA32 architecture supports only up to 4 GByte of RAM, but
Linux can handle up to 64 GByte.
SCSI is no problem as long as the controller is supported by Linux.

Where did you get the thing with the arithmetic errors with AMD?
Never heard anything about it.

Hello everyone,

I have mandrake 7.2 installed at home and my USB mouse was working fine.  
On Tuesday I upgraded to Kernel 2.4.0 and configured USB support into the 
kernel.

Now my usb mouse is not working in X anymore:(  What device is the usb 
mouse under 2.4?  I tried changing my XFree config file manually (the auto 
configure stops saying it could not find my mouse) trying:

/dev/input/mice
/dev/input/mouse0
/dev/input/mouse

Still my mouse is not working.

Can anyone please offer me some suggestions?

Thank you,

Eric,

Is your kernel compiled to support DMA and 32-bit access to IDE drives? These
are switchable in the kernel config. If they're off, that would explain the
behavior you're seeing.

Subject: Strange mouse buttons
Date: 25 Jan 2001 15:21:12 +0000


I have a Compaq Armada E700, dual boot w/ NT 4.0 & RedHat 6.2.

Having worked fine for a month or so I suddenly found that under
X (Gnome) the mouse buttons started to act strange eg:  X did not
register the release of a left button press until the middle button
is pressed etc.

By killing X, and running 'gpm' and 'mev' at the console I verified
that the mouse really is acting strangely (ie: the problem was not
with X).

All three buttons work fine under NT (so the hardware is not 
physically damaged).

The mouse is a built-in EasyPoint IV that previously just looked to
the OS like a regular PS/2 mouse.

Anyone got any bright ideas?

cheers,
Jon

2.4 has experimental Firewire support. I don't have Firewire so I have

Thanks to all who responded.

The problem turned out to be that I had failed to tell the BIOS about
the existence of the second disk.  Even though the BIOS has the disk
marked as "OFF", Linux recognizes the disk and it can be used. However,
in this state, no amount of adjusting the hdparm's will cause the disk
to operate any faster than 2 -3 MB/s.

Once the disk is set to "AUTO" configure by the BIOS, using

hdparm -c1 -d1 -m16 /dev/hdb

as several suggested, brings the transfer rate up to ~ 35 MB/s

This is with the 2.2.14-6.1.1 (RH 6.2) or 2.2.16 (RH 7.0) kernel (no ide
patches) (This is a Dell Precision Workstation 420 w/ Intel 82801 AA
chipset (ATA-66))

I finally noticed the entry in /var/log/dmesg which contained

PCI: PCI BIOS revision 2.10 entry at 0xfc03e
    ide0: BM-DMA at 0xffa0-0xffa7, BIOS settings: hda:DMA, hdb:pio

but which changed to 
    ide0: BM-DMA at 0xffa0-0xffa7, BIOS settings: hda:DMA, hdb:DMA

when the BIOS recognized the disk.

Hope this helps anyone else who might miss this simple checkpoint when
adding a disk.

Is the cam USB, if it is you will have to compile the 2.4.0 kernel. It
has (limited)USB support. After you have goten that far, its just a
matter of finding a driver. I seriously doubt that EZtronics makes a
Linux driver for that cam. I may be wrong though! You can always write
one. If you have any Q's feel free to email me.

Try running "mouseconfig" and redoing the setup. It is possible the
XF86Config file got changed somehow. Have you tried plugging a mouse
into the laptop and see what that gives you? Any Q's email me

I have a machine with two scsi harddrives on scsibus 0 - redhat 6.2 ,
kernel 2.2.16- sees them as sda and sdb
When I loaded the ide-scsi module and rebooted, the cd-rw was now seen
as sda and I got a kernel panic because it didn't know where to look for
boot instructions.

I tried changing fstab and lilo.conf (and ran lilo) to reflect this
change, but no joy.  All it has done is make it impossible for me to get
into the machine at all.

Any ideas how to get linux to boot from the now moved devices?

The cheapest Actiontec 56K PCI internal modems use the PCtel 789T chipset
which is a Host Signal Processing (HSP) chipset which theoretically will
work with Linux.
You can tell by looking at the markings on the big chip mounted on the

board of the modem.
I agree that looking at http://www.o2.net/~gromitkc/winmodems.html is a good

Rich,

There is an option you can add to your lilo.conf file to turn off the CPUID
feature. Can't remember the command at the moment. I know the RedHat web
site has this in their tech notes. Might check there.

I'm running an Athlon 1000 with 2.2.16-22 and it runs just fine. I do know
the new 2.4.0 kernel can be compiled for the Duron/Athlons directly,
whenever that gets stabilized and added to someone's distro . . .

Good Luck,

I also have the same "problem"

I've tried to use it also with the CAPI and the serial COM port (But I am
still trying... and I don't have a lot of experience)

The USB support has still to be written according to what is written on the
www.linux-usb.org site. I get the error "address not accepted" or something
like that (sorry, I am at work and my experimental computer is at home, I
cannot be more explicit)

When I plug it out and then in again, the driver tries to affect an address
to
the new device but this one does not respond. It tries a few times (3-4) by
incrementing the address before stopping.

That is how far I am at the moment.

We can keep in touch to try to solve the problem I am a programmer (more
Window$ oriented at the moment) but if I had more time I would read the
whole USB Spec and the data from AVM (in the Teledat 150, there is an AVM
Fritz USB card) and try to write my own driver for it (I unfortunately lack
experience but it is a good way to start learning).

Best Regards
 Jaap de Haan

I do not have the same motherboard, but a coworker has an ABIT
motherboard and could only install Gentus Linux (made by ABIT) so you
might want to see if you can aquire a copy of Getus (it is based on
Mandrake) and install that. Any Q's email me
