CrystalClear is in this case a CS4299.

I'm used 95osr2. It is a 6.4gb harddisk. I used dos fdisk to create two
dos partitions of 1.8gb each, leaving about 2.8gb untouched. After
installing windows95, I used disk druid from redhat to create a 127mb
swap partition and the rest as a single linux partition.

OK, so you _currently_ have:
C: 1.8GB Primary
1.8GB Extended
D: 1.8GB Logical
127MB swap
2.8GB ext2fs
OR do you have
C: 1.8GB Primary
4.6GB Extended
D: 1.8GB logical
127MB swap
2.8GB ext2fs
?
And which of these partitions are you trying to DOS format?

Subject: Inexplicable crashing in Slackware and RedHat
Date: Tue, 06 Feb 2001 13:35:55 -0500
I'm having quite a problem with linux on my personal machine (a dual
boot with win98 and linux). I have basically no idea what the problem
is, so any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated. Here is what is
happening:
I tried to install RedHat 7 on my machine, but, after successfully
installing, it would always hang on boot. It never crashed in the same
place either, but it was always when the daemons were getting started
(sometimes during the starting of the at daemon, sometimes when pcmcia
services were started, etc.). I just kind of attributed it to some
RedHat 7 bug, and tried Slackware 7.1 instead.
So Slackware also installed fine, and even booted fine. I was happily
editing my lilo.conf file when my system decided to hang. Every time I
boot, my machine will run for some amount of time (sometimes 10 minutes,
sometimes an hour), and then hang just like RedHat did at boot.
Can anyone give me any insight into this problem? The only thing I can
think of is that Linux has somehow uncovered some bad memory that
windows never encountered. Any ideas anyone? Thanks!

In many cases when this kind of thing happens at different times as you
explain it, it can be a sign of a memory problem but may not be bad
memory as much as a possible bad connection. Try re-seating the memory
and if the contacts look corroded or tarnished you can clean them with a
pencil eraser. If the system has more than one memory card then you
might even try switching them around.

Hi,
have the same problem IMHO it might come from the 3 interface jacks
(BNC, Western and D-Sub): One has to choose one of them;
up to now i didnīt find out what parameter has to be added. Maybe
you can do some "research" in that direction, too. If successful

Hi Peter,
Thank you. "noapic" solved my problem.
About the single processor kernel, I think I confused you about it.
Actually, after the installation, there are two images we can boot up
from. One is smp version, and the other is not smp version. Do you know
how to set up the kickstart installation option to make the non-smp
version as the default boot image? I know I can change the lilo.conf file
after the installation manually.
Thank you very much!

Subject: Spaceball 4000 FLX as XInput device?
Date: Tue, 6 Feb 2001 12:41:28 -0700
I am having trouble finding a linux driver for the logitech Spaceball 4000
FLX, and I'm hoping somebody out there can help.
I am developing an OpenGL application using the glut toolkit (with Mesa
and a geforce2 card with the nvidia drivers, though I doubt that matters)
on a pc running redhat linux and XFree86 4. I have a spaceball 4000 FLX,
which I wish to use with glut. In the glut documentation, I found that
glut does support callbacks for a spaceball just as it dows for a keyboard
and mouse, but when I tried to use them, glut was unable to detect the
presence of the device.
I've gone through documentation and searched the web, and it looks like
I need an XInput driver to make the spaceball work with glut. (I've
already made it work with the linux kernel joystick driver, but that
doesn't seem to matter for what I'm doing)
So, I'm writing to ask you if anyone has, or knows where I could find, an
Xinput driver which will allow glut to use the spaceball 4000 FLX. Or
perhaps a way to make glut use the joystick driver which is already set up
and working. Thank you very much for any help you can give me on this.
If you can help, please respond to my email address in addition to any
newsgroup responses.

Dumb question: did you run "lilo" to update the lilo boot record

It depends on how you boot Linux. I use loadlin from within the Win98
config.sys, and then it is not required. In fact everything from my Linux is
AFTER 1024 cylinders (carefull, lilo is useless then, so you need to know how
to get the bootkernel on your FAT!). I have one primary good old FAT 16
partition and one extended which contains several Win and Linux partitions.
Most of the time I just create a swap and one / -partition.

Maybe lmsensors scales the data different then WinXX.
Another thing might be APM. 2.2.X doesn't do APM-IDLE. 2.4 does. This result
for my laptop for the idle power drain (mains side) to drop from 20 Watt
with 2.2.18 to 17 Wat in 2.4, just like with WinMe.

Are you running GNOME by any chance? It tends to like to run cpu-busy
screen savers when you're not doing anything. Those screen savers run
at low priority, so they don't slow down other processes; but they never
let the cpu completely idle.

Typically this problem occurs when a step has been skipped in the
kernel compile process. check this process against what you have done to
see if some step might have been skipped.
first remove linux from /usr/src
then untar new kernel
make xconfig be sure to go through this thoroughly to check all you
want availible within the kernel.
make dep
make clean
make bzImage
make modules
make modules_install
then
cd /boot
cp /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot
cp bzImage vmlinuz
cp /usr/src/linux/System.map /boot
then
edit your /etc/lilo.conf as needed
then be sure to run /sbin/lilo
If you get no errors you should have compiled your kernel correctly.
hope this helps

Your system is probably using ACPI. I think it's a power saving system
that runs everything on one IRQ as part of its power saving features.
(How it works beats the hell outta me.) You should be able to disable ACPI
in the BIOS, or at least set it to NOT use a PNP-OS. I had this same
problem on my KT7, disabling PNP os worked for me.

The easiest way to deal with this is to go into your BIOS and set the
irq's for these items. to see what irq's are availible you can do a
lspci -v, hope this helps

Subject: Redhat 7.1, USB Tape Drive, and... something is missing.
Date: Tue, 6 Feb 2001 15:56:01 -0500
Hi,
I have the RH 7.1 beta with a USB Seagate tape drive. The system is
recognizing the usb hub and drive with no problems. The drive appears to
will show up as a /dev/st0 and /dev/nst0 and will retension OK.
All I need now is a script or utility that will back up to this tape drive.
I have tried Taper and Amanda with no success. Does anyone have anything
that might work with this combination?
Thanks in advance,
Nathan

It sounds possible. Run samba on the two Linux boxes
for file system and printer access. I don't know how you'd be
able to support sound. You may want to let each PC have its own
sound board. X Windows can be set up to support using remote
servers (which is what your Windows box would be). Read "man xdm"
for an idea of how to do this. You could also, as someone else
suggested, use VNC to be the X server.
