Hi,
I want to buy an IDE RAID controller. Is it necessary that the two hard
disks must be the same physical characteristic, like same size, same speed,
same model or same manufacturer?
Thanks for the help.

What does "cat /proc/pci" show for the sound card? This assumes the
sound card is PCI, of course. "xp1000" is probably not enough
information to determine what type of card this is. I assume you've
tried "sndconfig" with negative results, but what did it say about the
sound? Also, which version of RedHat are you using?

well, I tried most of you guys input and some worked better than others..
the results:
I had my 24x CDROM drive as the secondary device. I removed it from the chain and
things worked a little better.
Next, I tried switching to UDMA level 4 instead of 5 and I believe this worked a
little.
I say "I believe" because during one of the hard reboots when fsck is working its
magic, some of my files got swiss cheesed. I believe I am going to have to start from
scratch and try this all over.
Anyone out there who said they had a very similar setup to mine, please post their
exact configuration. I know I am imposing quite a bit, I hate to reboot as much as the
next guy, but I would really appreciate it.
What I would like to know:
1. what bios settings are you using?(anything to do with your hard drive)
2. device configuration on ide ? what is plugged into what?
3. a copy of your dmesg output and a copy of what hdparm displays for your /dev/hda?
If you would rather just e-mail me directly its [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Thanks in advance for anything.....

Subject: Kernel-2.4.2 and es1371 -> very small sound. why?
Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Date: Wed, 07 Mar 2001 05:56:52 GMT
Hi?
The kernel is 2.4.2 and I compiled es1361 as a module.
soundcore
es1371
ac97_codec
As soon as I load above modules from soundcore, the sound card began to work.
Well, the output of volume is very small. I guess it's 30% of maximum volume when I
used it Microsoft Windows 98.
XMMS works fine. Playing CD title is too!
The low output is caused by some misconfiguration of the modules?
I'm not yet try other modules like OSS or ALSA.
Thanks,

I currently have the 370DLE and have had nothing but problems. The random
shutdowns you speak of is what is happening to me with both Windows 2000
and 98. If I wait several hours it will start up fine. However, if I
shut it down and try to start it back up it will usually shutdown before
Windows is fully loaded. Or, it may shutdown after it has been on a
while. I need to get this issue resolved.

Change the device name. It will be /dev/hdc or /dev/hdd, not /dev/fd0.
Type "dmesg" at a command prompt and look for the ls-120 device name.

Subject: Cable Modem / Network Card Configuration
Date: Wed, 07 Mar 2001 08:56:38 GMT
I have been using Linux for about 2.5 yrs now. I have recently
upgraded to a cable modem, but am not familiar with configuring the
network card to communicate with the cable modem. I think I have all
the information I need, for example, the IP address, subdomain address,
DNS servers, etc.
The cable modem service provider attempted to set the M$ Windows side of
my computer up, but succeeded only in corrupting several windows
configuration files. I am going to buy a network card supported by my
Linux distribution (Red Hat 6.2) and set it up from there.
I would appreciate any help solving this problem. If a specific
network card works better than others, let me know.
Thanks,
Kevin

No, there are no Thunderbird CPU with Slot-A, just plain AMD Athlon K7 with
Slot-A. From what you write I should choose the Thunderbird.

Checked it out, but there was no info on this chipset. Anyway, sound
is not that important to me and the mobo has 6 PCI slots,
enough for another soundcard, if the build in shouldn't work.
