It's suppported by the sym53c8xx driver.

driver is 8139too w/2.4.2 but it requires modifications. What
modifications are needed and any suggestions to get me beyond this
point. I think Ive tried everything. This is a 2nd nic on this box.
The 1st is 3c905 (loaded easily) I have updated gcc.rpm. Searchimg

Had the same problem on SuSE 7.0 with Xfree86 4.0.2 rpms. Found out that
the culprit is framebuffer support in the kernel. I've put the following
line in lilo.conf
append = "video=riva:off"
If you are using vesafb driver, you should replace riva with vesa in
that line.

Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Date: Wed, 21 Mar 2001 19:19:23 GMT
Hey Folks,
I'm kinda stuck here. Have a long linux experience, but don't know where to
look any longer. Any Hints welcome :)
Here the Setup:
Asus A7V133 with 2x256MB-133 Ram (Clocked 100MHz), with Athlon Thunderbird
1GHz (100FSB), SB-Live 1024, IBM-DTLA-307030 running at UDMA-100,
MATSHITADVD-ROM Running at UDMA-33, BusLogic Model BT-948 PCI Ultra SCSI
Host Adapter running 2xDCAS-34330, CD-ROM XM-6201TA and Plextor CD-RW
PX-R412C, Voodoo 3 3000 AGP Graphic Card, Ne2k 10MBit PCI Ethernet Card.
The IDE-Drive is connected to the Primary IDE Chip (Means, _NOT_ the
Promise ATA100 controller).
Operating System is Linux kernel 2.2.17 (Self compiled, tried Distrib
Version though MDK-7.2), MDK-7-2 wih all updates & Security fixes applied.
Linux is installed on the IDE-Drive. SCSi is used mainly for CD-Mastering :)
I have no IO Conflicts, no Interrupt Conflicts and the System runs smooth
as long as I don't produce any Traffic on the SCSI Bus. If I do master or
burn a CD, the system might lock hard - and when it locks, it is hard. I
can no predict when it will lock. Sometimes right after starting the
process, sometimes after 30minutes. No possibility to do anything. Even the
kernel-status Dump <shit>-<Scroll-Lock> or reaching the system through the
Network inerface from outside doesn't work - which lets me think of a
Mainboard/SCSi Controller Bug (IO-Address conflict happening during
function).
Note, this also happens when letting the IDE-Part running in PIO-Mode only
(No DMA whatsoever).
It is not a Heat problem (CPU Temp at about 60�C, 3 Fans in the Big-Tower
Chassis + CPU+Norht-bridge Fan), or Power-Problem -> 400Watt Power Unit.
I can compile a kernel with: "make -j bzImage" with no problem -> System
Load goes quite high though :} so all the rest works Rock-Stable.
The Other Motherboard I had (Asus A5B) worked smooth and was the most
stable System I ever had (Ok, AMD K6-3 450MHz CPU).
Anyone had this experience already ? or could give me a hint on where to
look to circle/fix that problem ?
E-Mailing me would be nice - as I don't read NewsGroups very often lately
;) Thx.
I have to admit that I didn't try out a new kernel. This might be one of my
next steps ... :)
Cheers & Thx
The Smurph

I got this NIC to work under RH 6.2 (stock kernel) using the driver that
came with it. It was a 2 NIC machine too. But I seem to recall that kudzu
saw it as RealTek which would be the 8139too driver. I never did try the
8139 driver.

Subject: floppy mount vfat problem
Date: Wed, 21 Mar 2001 20:05:51 GMT
Hello,
After the installation of a new kernel 2.4.2 (for ATA support) I can't
mount my windows-partitions and dos floppy disk anymore. All these
worked fine with the older kernel, now I can only mount my linux
filesystems.
when I do a mount like this:
mount /mnt/floppy or mount -t vfat /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy I get
mount: /dev/fd0 has wrong major or minor number
The led for the floppy drive blinks thus that means that he at least
accesses it. I think that for some reason vfat isn't supported
correctly.
when I do cat /proc/filesystems, I see some filesystems but not vfat and
msdos, do you know if I should see these filesystem types here?
Same error when I try to mount a windows partition.
The settings in /etc/fstab are correct and worked fine with the older
kernel:
/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto owner,exec,dev,suid,rw,noauto 0 0
Does it make a functional difference when you choose for a module or for
including it in the image?
tnx,
Kris

Hi,
I bought a Maxtor 60gig internal from CompUSA and it had an UltraATA100
controller in the package... The controller seems to have problems with
the Linux driver for the Promise UltraATA100 card. If I leave the
driver out, the card & drive works but at 5mb/sec and it hogs the CPU...
The BIOS reports
Ultra 100 (tm) BIOS Version 2.01 (BUILD 27)
Maxtor Ultra ATA 100 Controller by
(c) 1999-2000 Promise Technology Inc. All Rights Reserved
It seems to want to use DMA5 however, my soundcard needs that channel...
I run RH7 with a 2.4.1 kernel
Any ideas???
Thanks

'man something'
is to use the Linux/UNIX manual system from the command line.
Look in the /usr /sbin /usr/bin /usr/sbin (there are more) directories.
There you see a lot of files (some has funny names). Try running
'man somefile'.
You will be suprised how much help that actually is on-line.
If you run KDE under Xwindows there is a nice GUI to the manual system.

extra stuff? You mean the append statement? Try adding
append="/dev/hdX=ide-scsi"
to the "image" section of the kernel to be used (it can go towards the top
if you wish to apply it to all kernels).
The /dev/hdX _MUST_ be modified to your configuration, to point to where
on the ide busses the cdr is located.
/dev/hda means primary, master : /dev/hdb means primary, slave : /dev/hdc
means secondary, master : /dev/hdd means, you guessed it, secondary slave
Then run /sbin/lilo and rebot for the changes to take affect.

Date: Wed, 21 Mar 2001 20:45:11 GMT
Ok guys, I posted a msg. about memory, etc and Linux.
Now, I've gotten another machine with 32 megs in it, BUT instead of
having two pentium system with 32 megs, I'm going to put 48 megs in
one and 16 in the other. So, the big question is, what distro/version
should I run in each system ? I have Red Hat 6.1 and Mandrake 7.1
laying around. I'll pick up a new version, if you think the latest
version are better.
My systems break down like this:
Socket 7, Cyrix p166, 48 megs (6 eight meg simms, strange MB), S3 trio
video card, 3 gig HD, 4X cd-rom, network card, floppy
Socket 5, Intel P100, 16 megs (4 four meg simms), trident 4 meg card,
no HD yet (may use two 200 meg drives), no cd-rom (will hook one up
for the install, then disconnect it), network card, floppy.
I would like to run X-windows on the 48 megs system, and turn 16 meg,
P 100 into a proxy,firewall (no X-windows here).
So, maybe I should run mandrake 7.1 on the 48 megs system (KDE ?) and
RH 6.1 on the 16 meg system ?
What do you think ?
As far as what I'll be doing on the 48 megs system, just learning
about linux, programming, and the 16 meg machine will be a
firewall/proxy/web server
Over time, I would like to use Linux more and more, maybe it will
become my main system.

If it is the D-Link DFE 530-TX+, 8139too is the correct driver
with 2.4.2. However, you need to modify 8139too.c to include the
PCI ID information so the driver will recognize the card. Below
are the parts I changed in 8139too.c.
Note that if you are using a 2.2.x kernel, just use the rtl8139.c
driver file that is on the floppy disk that came with the card
(or on D-Link's web site).

of the GPL part of recent distros from cheapbytes (www.cheapbytes.com)
for a few $$ each....so you can experiment here without paying much.
If you don't have a cdrom on the small machine, you can set up NFS on
the other and install across the net or use a distribution that has
floppy images available for a basic install (like Debian or
Slackware). Note, many major distributions want 32 MB for their
spiffy new GUI installer, but many (all?) also have a smaller
text-based installer available for older/smaller machines. I think RH
falls into this category.
You might look at linux router project (LRP) for their
one-floppy linux that loads into RAM or similar systems.

I use an external modem through a serial port, but you can still get some
hardware modems from US Robotics if you want to go that route.

That's a postscript printer. Set it up as such (printtool is a nifty
little utility) and you're good to go.

Subject: Linux on HP Brio BA 200??

Will Linux install reasonably well on a HP Brio
BA200?? HP does not list any kind of support for
Linux and the machines do not show up in the
RedHat hardware list. Anybody have experience
putting Linux on these? I am a Linux Newbie and
want to install RedHat Linux 7 on one to get
started.
