Of course I have a boot disk, and getting back into the system only took 5 min.
I do have ide-scsi compiled as a module, but it is loading RAMDISK. I'll get
rid of it and see what happens.

I thought that you were Finish.... Interesting, because after the
"victorious" Winter war (it was a tie), the result was that Finland, who
joined the Axis, lost the war.
Now this is funny: a Finish citizen accusing people of being nazis and
asking about the results of a war that they lost.
Anyway,

I have had problems getting a 3c905C to work with the 3c59x driver. The
solution for me was to download 3c905.c from 3coms site and use that
driver instead. Im using Slackware, I think that RedHat has included the
3c905 module with their distribution.

Anthony,
I am using an Asus A7V motherboard with the Athlon 1000 Thunderbird. I built
this to be a Linux box. Never intended it to dual boot into any other OS.
RH 7 would not initially install as it did not "see" my IBM 45GB ATA100
drive on the Promise controller. So I moved it over to the onboard VIA ATA66
controller and RH installed no problem.
>From there I played with the 2.4.0 kernel, but ended up going with the
2.2.18 kernel and adding the Hedrick 12/21/00 patches for ATA100. That's
been stable now for over a day.
Not sure if the A7V will go up to the 1.2GHz Athlon. But I do know you want
to go with IBM ATA100 drives. They seem to have the lowest problems on
ATA100 (like none) of all the drives out there.
Good Luck,
KW

** on occassions the graphic install hangs at this point. Try booting again from the
cd or floppy and at the bottom of the first 'install' screen, enter "text" (no quotes)
and do a text install. This WILL work.

Hi Tina,
Well it doesn't even come with a hard drive, so the size is up to you. As
far as CPU speed is concerned, yes I'd love to make it faster, but
unfortunately the issue is that this CPU speed hits the sweet spot for
price/performance/size right now. In another 6 months I can see a
significant step up. My aim is for the board to cost only $100 to $200 for
basically a complete system.
This board is intended as an embedded unit for small devices. The current
design is about 3.5" square and you can put up to 128MB of RAM on it. I
don't think there are many systems out there that offer as much (Ethernet,
IDE, 200MHz CPU, 128MB RAM, 128MB ROM, Audio, USB, Serial, IrDA) in so small
a space. If you want more power I'm thinking that you cluster them using
Beowolf.

The winter war was "with soviet" and We did lose it. But our "idiot" leader
joined "nazi" not finns people btw There was no finn at that time. It's
like 1/2 1/2 we were 1/2 part of sweden and 1/2 free then Russian took over
and we "did" win with help of sweden and norway etc.
As for "nazi" look at our population it's only 5 million "now" and at that
time was "3 1/2" million I believe. And we didn't lose or win. In reality we
took over norway.
Re read history
And Nazi are here you can see them....

My SCSI Zip 250 drive is really, really slow with Linux formatted disks
(something like 10 minutes to write a 7 meg file for a zip-100 disk and 5
minutes for a zip-250 disk). It's not this slow for Windows zip 100 disks.
It's also much slower than my parallel port zip 100 drive at work for
equivalent files. Has anyone run into this problem and know how to fix it?
Also, Linux thinks my Windows pre-formatted zip-250 disks have corrupt
partition tables. Has anyone seen that problem before?

I remember long ago having speed problems with my IDE ZIP drive. That
was back with a 2.0.x kernel, though. As I recall, it looked like
there was a lot of overhead for each block written, so the drive could
be written to much faster if I used dd to force the blocksize of the
writes to be big (I think I used 16KB). But that problem disappeared
at some point (2.2 kernels?) so it's probably not what you're seeing.
