Subject: RedHat7.0,Win2000 with VIA 82Cxxx onboard sound card
Date: Thu, 15 Mar 2001 13:56:31 +0800
I have been working around with my MSI K7T-Turbo motherboard and
Win2000 and RedHat 7.0, and there are some experiences I'd like to share.
Following are problems I encountered and solved.
Q1:My Win200 halted during installation when it detects hardware?
Q2:I've installed RedHat 7.0, but my onboard sound card won't work?
Q3:When I reboot the system, the sound effect sometimes fails. But
when I 'cat /dev/sndstat', everything looks good?
----
Q1:My Win200 halted during installation when it detects hardware?
A1:
Enter your BIOS menu, select the "Integrated Peripherail" submenu.
Make sure the 'Onboard legacy audio' is ENABLED and 'SoundBlaster',
'MPU401' are DISABLED.
In my hardware combination, it solved the problem. If you need
'SoundBlaster' and 'MPU401' ENABLED, do it after all drivers are
installed.
Q2:I've installed RedHat 7.0, but my onboard sound card won't work?
A2:
RedHat 7.0 supports VIA 82Cxxx sound card, so you don't need OSS
or ALSA drivers actually.
On MSI K7T-turbo, you can set 'SoundBlaster', 'MPU401' ENABLED or
DISABLED(default). The official manual said you don't need to ENABLE
the setting unless you have to run real DOS programs.
If you check the resources that the AC97 uses under windows, you get
something like IRQ:11 I/O Addresses:D300-D3FF / D400-D4FF / DC00-DCFF.
Some real DOS programs cannot access I/O address outside 0x300, and I
GUESS turning the options ENABLED allows the board redirecting audio
stream that sent to SoundBlaster default configuration (IRQ:5, I/O
Address:0x220, DMA=1...) to onboard sound card.
The 'sndconfig' envokes pnptools to determine the sound card config.
But 'pnpdump' can only checks I/O address within 0x300. Although
'sndconfig' did detect my sound card as VIA82Cxxx, it halted my system
when it tried to send sample sound to sound card.
'sndconfig' added two lines to /etc/modules.conf:
aliases sound-slot-0 via82cxxx
options sb support=1
RedHat 7.0's via82cxxx driver might take for granted that every board
uses via82cxxx should set 'SoundBlaster' ENABLED in BIOS(which is not
true for MSI K7T-turbo), so 'sndconfig' send sample sound to IRQ:5,
I/O Address:0x220, DMA=1 and caused system halt.
I don't know if I can modify /etc/modules.conf and assign actual I/O
configuration of the onboard sound card. So I turned 'SoundBlaster',
'MPU401' ENABLED and reboot. The sound worked!
Q3:When I reboot the system, the sound effect sometimes fails. But
when I 'cat /dev/sndstat', everything looks good?
A3:
After I get my sound card worked, I rebooted the system and found the
sound effect has gone. When I 'cat /dev/sndstat', everything looks okey.
But when I do 'cat /proc/interrupts', I found that USB controller uses
the same IRQ(IRQ:11) as onboard sound card does. I entered the 'PnP/PCI'
submenu in BIOS and reserved IRQ:11 and the problem is solved.

Please help!
Having successfully compiled a module for the card on Mandrake 7.2, and
added 'alias eth0 fa311' to /etc/modules.conf, everything seemed to be fine.
'eth0' starts at boot, but the card just does not function. 'ifconfig'
reveals the eth0, and it can ping itself but nothing else on the network. No
other machines can ping it.
Harddrake has no entries under Network Device Cards, but there is an entry
under Other Devices for the card which is listed as National Semiconductor
Corporation Unknown (the FA311's chip manufacturer).
The IP address etc. where set up on a previous card and can not now be
altered using Network Configurator. It simply vanishes when you click the
button.
Any advice will be gratefully received.
Thanks,
Steven Horsley

Date: Thu, 15 Mar 2001 13:33:20 +0100
Hello!
My System is:
BX Based Notebook with i8... PCMCIA/CARDBUS Controller
Kernel 2.2.18 or 2.4.0 tried both of them
newes pcmcia software installed.
CARDBUS tulip_cb based ethernet card (Same as Lynksys Cardbus ethernet
card)
My Problem
Network cards loads
ifconfig configures ethernetdevice eth0 properly
but card cannot get any connection to the net.
I wondered because ifconfig claims ethernetcard to have a wrong MAC
address.
(Because of Windows I know the right one)
Had anyone the same problems or suggestions how to solve this problem ?

Subject: graphire usb config
Date: Thu, 15 Mar 2001 14:34:34 +0100
I'm trying to set my graphire USB tablet. I use MDK 7.2 with XFree86 4.0.1,
2.2.17 mdk kernel.
I've read several HOWTOs on the wacom tablets, but either they adress either
the serial tablets or assume you've got a 2.4.x kernel.
There are some backport patches to 2.2.x kernels for USB support but I don't
exactly want to recompile my kernel. Also I don't know what patches have
been applied by mandrake ( my USB joystick works fine) so applying that
patch might be useless.
Anyway, my problem is this :
There is a wacom kernel module that I can load... There is also a
wacom_drv.o driver that's supposed to be loaded from XF86config-4.
Unfortunately, that config file needs a dev path and a device type that I'm
not sure of.
Does anyone know the correct values for the devpath and device type ?
/dev/ttys0 ? dev/input/event0 ? dev/input/mouse0 ? Something else ?
WacomStylus ? wacomstylus ? stylus ?

Subject: TV-Card: Problems with overlay
Date: Thu, 15 Mar 2001 14:16:00 +0100
Hi everyone,
I have a tv-tuner-card (Typhoon, with a bttv 848a chipset) I am running
SuSE Linux 7.0 with Kernel 2.4.2.
My Problem is the following;
I want to use my tv-card I compiled all the necessary modules in the
kernel and load them. Now I am using 'zapping' as tv-application. When I
start zapping directly after boot as normal user I often (not always)
cannot run it in Overly mode. When I start zapping as su overlay mode
works always. and after this it works for normal users as well.
As module-options for bttv I had to add no_overlay=0 (which was
necessary because of my SiS PCI chipset on the mainbord - if I
understood the notes in the kernel docu corectly)
The devices (/dev/video asl link and /dev/video0) have rw permission for
root and group video (which I (as normal user) am in as well).
Does anyone have any idea?
BTW: I use zapping as tv-application because xawtv or gnometv very often
crash right when starting them)
Help would be apreciated
Thanks in advance
Christian

A: You need two '--'
B:
Log in as root.
Now change /etc/lilo.conf:
There is a line which starts with 'append'.
At the end of this line add "hd{{n}}=ide-scsi
{{n}} is the number of IDE disk:
hda: primary master
hdb: primary slave
hdc: seondary master
hdd: secondary slave
After rebooting your ATAPI drive is used as SCSI.
You should now link /dev/cdrom to /dev/scd0:
ln -sf /dev/scd0 /dev/cdrom
It should work now.

Hi
I've got a pretty new machine here (P-II ~750MHz), I recently compiled a
2.4.2 kernel for it, it's working fine, but... I just noticed - I can't
mount cds!... cdrom is detected at start-up, /dev/hdb looks fine, as
suggested i CDROM-HOWTO I checked dd if=/dev/hdb of=/dev/null bs=2048 it
returned immediately with 0+0 blocks in/out... (yes, there's a cd in the
drive). It worked before with 2.2.14... (SuSE-6.4) And - what's the most
weird - as cdrom module gets loaded - at the same time lp parport and
parport_pc do!... WHY???... I checked - nothing like parallel ide was
compiled... Is anything wrong somewhere with /dev stuff? Can't see any
problems there... Or modules.conf?... Ideas? CDROM is CREATIVE CD4834E...
Thanks

Subject: onboard ATA66 interface mounting trouble
Date: Thu, 15 Mar 2001 10:49:48 -0500
Hi there,
I have a Tyan S1834 Tiger 133 motherboard which uses the VIA Apollo Pro
133A chipset. The IDE interface is UltraDMA/66. The HD is 61.4 GB. I
am trying to install RH 6.1 on it. The format and install finish
without any trouble, but when I try to reboot with the newly created
boot floppy, it konks out when it is checking the filesystems. It
mounts / without any trouble, then when it starts to check the
filesystems, it says:
/dev/hda5: clean, 1246/2317440 files, 74736/4634744 blocks
Could this be a zero-length partition?
fsck.ext2: Attempt to read block from filesystem resulted in short
read while trying to open
/dev/hda8
(null):
The superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2
filesystem. If the device is valid
and it really contains an ext2 filesystem (and not swap or ufs or
something else), then the superblock
is corrupt, and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate
superblock:
e2fsck -b 8193 <device>
Could this be a zero-length partition?
Could this be a zero-length partition?
fsck.ext2: Bad magic number in super-block while trying to open
/dev/hda6
fsck.ext2: Attempt to read block from filesystem resulted in short
read while trying to open
/dev/hda9
fsck.ext2: Attempt to read block from filesystem resulted in short
read while trying to open
/dev/hda10
[FAILED]
*** An error occurred during the file system check.
*** Dropping you to a shell; the system will reboot
*** when you leave the shell.
Give root password for maintenance
(or type Control-D for normal startup):
I partly expected this error, because it is similar to the error I get
when I try to install RH 6.1 with an ultra66 promise controller. Since
the IDE interface is the same here as with the promise controller,
I thought I would be able to simply enter the root password, mount /usr
and compile a new kernel with support for the IDE interface. But, when
I try to mount /usr, I get:
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hda6,
or too many mounted file systems.
Well, it isn't the wrong fs type. I'm not giving mount any options, and
when I do e2fsck -b 8193 /dev/hda6, as suggested during init, I get:
e2fsck: Bad magic number . . .
And, I only have / mounted, so there aren't too many mounted
filesystems. So, I'm not sure what to do about mounting /usr and
compiling a new kernel. I'd rather not use a newer version of RH,
because we've had some problems with the differences between egcs and
glibs on RH 6.1 and RH 6.2 as well as 7.0. Anybody had this mounting
problem before?
Thanks,

Out of curiosity, what ethernet card? I've got a 3c905b in a system
with a dual motherboard but only one processor (but still running the SMP
kernel). eth0 very often starts losing interrupts. Oh, and that's
also with the 2.4.2 kernel (from SGI, with xfs support).

You don't have to do that. Just put append="noapic" in your lilo.conf
and re-run lilo. However, now you will have only one CPU handling
interrups, making it not quite symmetric MP.

I rebuilt kernel:
Disabled Power Management
Disapbled APIC support <- it's under the Power Managemnet section
Disabbled APIC in BIOS
put "noapic" in lilo.conf
Well, after rebooting the system, there is no error report (output A) but
as times go, APIC error reported /var/log/messages
The below is the logs since I booted the system after new kernel building.
It's interesting though. :)
I'm not sure what makes the system be dead so badly at this point.
