Subject: Ftape is detected, but it is not configured properly
Date: Mon, 26 Feb 2001 19:08:56 GMT
Ftape is detected, but it is not configured properly.
I am trying to get the information from newsgroups that I can discuss
about ftape problems.
My tape is Tecmar DittoMax 10GB. It is supported by ftape 4.04 and/or
kernel 2.4.0. Windows 98's tape configuration is base I/O: 210, IRQ:
11, DMA: 1, but MSDOS's tape configuration is base I/O: 200, IRQ: 11,
and DMA: 0. Both configurations work fine with no problems.
I want to say about Linux's configuration. Linux's configuration has to
be the same as MSDOS's configuration. It is what I typed below:
mt -f /dev/ftape erase
After I hit Enter key, I wait for 20-25 seconds before the error message
says: "ftape is not configured." I don't understand why. I know that
Kernel is able to detect ftape for 20-25 seconds, but it does not let me
to do any tape commands. Please advise. I appreciate that I get
feedback from you.

Then how do I access the device? FYI, I was planning to write the simple
driver which maps the device memory location to the kernel virtual mem ( by
using ioremap func). And then in the interrupt handler check the the
doorbell register value to see any change in status. I'm not sure if this is
the right approach (as I'm new to device driver devl.) Please guide me or
provide some pointers.

All I'm trying is to read the doorbell register _ dont' have very clear idea
how it works. But every time I receive the interrupt I get 0xffff value. And
it do receive the interrupt very frequently. Do I have to check if the
interrupt is for my device or kernel takes care of it?

Hello,
I hope my english is good enough-
Take a look on the promise support side for their Redhat 6.2/7.0 Uni
Processor driver.
Install the driver to a floppy.
Start the Redhat CD installation as "expert" and during installation
automatically comes the question " have you any driver"
Answer yes and insert the floppy and install the promise driver. (Readme
file on Promise floppy read before).
That�s all.
I have installed Redhat 7.0 and Promise Fastrack 100 in Raid 0 with no
problem.
Ps.: Lilo Problem for big Hd�s
You have to edit to lilo.conf in the second line : lba32 ( with
lba32 the 1024 cylinder problem is then killed)
bring lilo mbr to /dev/sda

Subject: Help with a Sound Card 1371 under Linux 2.2.17
Hi all,
I am using a Creative Ensoniq CT131 PCI32 sound card. I am running
Linux 2.2.17 and Realplayer works fine, but i tried to record
with dd (as prescribed in the linux-howto pages) and nothing is coming out
(expect noise).
I tried running winNT4.0 with vmware and the same is happening, i can't
record anything, but i can listen to sound files.
This is the output of dmesg:
========================

es1371: codec features none

Is this a problem in the kernel configuration? or something else?

You might wish to look at the DiaLogic telephony boards. I worked for
an outfit that designed a system using their stuff that could work as
a PBX, voice mail, e-mail, answering machine, and lots of other stuff,
using their boards. This was 10 years ago. I am pretty sure it can
still be done.
DiaLogic was bought out by Intel about a year ago, IIRC.

Seems to me like everything is right with your sound card but you are
trying to play the file with xmms or another *wav or *au player
(realplayer?)...
Try to play them like this: cat recorded_file > /dev/audio
Wrong (mic off, etc.) mixer settings could be a reason too

Thanks for the help. I was just trying to track down exactly what type of drive it
was when I found out it was SE and that it is compatible with LVD. Unfortunately,
that means that we can't fix the incompatibility by getting an adapter...
Anyone else have any ideas on what might be the problem?

Subject: Re: Safe to use UDMA?
Date: Mon, 26 Feb 2001 21:29:41 GMT
Hello,
If you motherboard supports UDMA/33 but not UDMA/66, you should NOT try
to use: hdparm -d1 -X66, since this will try to enable UDMA/66, which
might lead to filesystem corruption if the motherboard does not support
UDMA/66. Try hdparm -d1 -X33 instead.
Anyways I have had similar problems with DMA on my IBM harddisk, though
I have not found the remedy yet. As it is now I use the -P option to
enable the best PIO-mode, which only gives me about 2/3 of the expected
datatransferrate that I could expect with DMA enabled. Not quite good
enough.
Cheers,

Probably -c1, but you can try out what works fastest:
hdparm -c1 /dev/hda
hdparm -Tt /dev/hda
hdparm -c3 /dev/hda
hdparm -Tt /dev/hda
The timing parameters will tell you which mode is best.
BTW: c1 and c3 both enables 32-bit I/O, but c3 uses a sync-signal to
control transfers (thats why it's probably a bit slower).

The 3c509 is well supported, there is even a Linux based config
utility. You can of course also use the DOS based utility
available from 3Com.

You could donate them to the Free Software Foundation. Then they might
loan/give them to projects that need it. I'm not really sure, just a
suggestion...
best of luck, and kudos to your company for this idea - even if it is

Have you considered one of the external IDE RAID boxes? These take about
six IDE drives and convert them in hardware to a SCSI disk which you
then just plug into a SCSI interface. I have some URL's somewhere if

Then in my lilo.conf file I added the following line at the way end of my

append="ether=(irq), (base address 0xXXX), eth0 ether=(irq), (base

Recently purchased a 40g hard drive.
/dev/hda has W95 and Linux.
/dev/hdb is back up for Linux.
/dev/hdc will be 40g HD for Linux.
/dev/hdd is a CD-RW.
Since W95 has to be installed first on a dual boot system,
how can I put Linux on /dev/hdc and leave W95 on /dev/hda by itself?
I'm assuming I can fiddle with LILO.
