No, it's the other way around. 2.2 series support all kinds of "serial ports",
PCI or not, but unable to share IRQs in the serial driver. All he needs to do is
swap the modem and the NIC.

Can't say that I am familar with the DAC960 driver, but it does a
good job of posting errors into /var/log/messages during normal
operation for default SCSI mode page settings. Given the problems
you are seeing, I would have thought that you would have some
warning before things got really bad.
Where does it hang?

Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Date: Tue, 27 Mar 2001 01:18:49 GMT
Hello All;
I'm using some instructions I found in an earlier post to try to
convert some mp3's to wav and burn them to a CD using cdrecord. I
have come across a problem that was not addressed.
I convert the mp3 files to wave with:
splay -t 1000 -d - file.mp3 | sox -t raw -r 44100 -s -w -c 2 -
file.wav
I issue this command to burn the data:
cdrecord -v speed=4 dev=0,0,0 -audio *.wav
But, cdrecord responds with:
cdrecord: Bad audio track size 31707648 for track 01.
cdrecord: Audio tracks must be at least 705600 bytes and a multiple of
2352.
I can burn audio CD's normally if I get the data using the cdda2wav
utility.
Any pointer would be appreciated as to how I should change the size of
the resulting wav file, I didn't see an obvious switch in the splay or
sox commands.
Thanks in advance.

我在notebook( redhat7.0/kernel 2.2.16/ pcmcia 3.1.19)下安裝
無線的11m pcmcia 卡 ，依照廠商的readme安裝驅動程式
(Make config/all/install後)
並restart pcmcia service,只能產生prism2ap_cs.o, prism2sta_cs.o
,但並沒有產生 prism2_cs.o ，所以驅動這張無線的網路卡。
我在同樣的機器下，但裝的是"redhat6.2/kernel 2.2.14/ pcmcia 3.1.8"
，安裝我的無線的11m pcmcia 卡 ，依照廠商的readme就沒有問題，三個
*.o也都有產生出來，也可以驅動這張無線的網路卡連上我的基地台再連上
我的local Lan。
不知道這個問題要如何解決? 或是有人有相同的經驗知道是什麼原因?
我是覺得是不是redhat7.0 的kernel還有一些bug, 或是kernel 2.2.16與
pcmcia 3.1.19間結合的沒有那麼好?

I used to have a similar script to the above called burnmp3s, which would
... burn all the mp3s in the current directory. Then I re-formatted /
re-installed. Haven't gotten around to it yet.

Subject: good video card for linux???
Date: Tue, 27 Mar 2001 02:32:02 GMT
I don't this to be a big debate, I'm just looking for a good video card
supported under linux. Currently I'm running XFree 3.3.5, over the
summer I'll upgrade to 4.0.x. Anyways, I want something ebtween
$100-$250. If people could either email, or post here, what cards
either they've had good success with or have heard have had good
success, I'll go do the researching and debating. Currently I have a
3dfx voodoo 3 (16MB), but I'm looking for something better. Thanks for
your help.

FWIW, the original rationale for the scripts being in /sbin/init.d/ was
that the FHS said "executables do not belong in /etc." However, SuSE
6.1 .. 7.0 all have symlinks pointing to /sbin/init.d/ from /etc/rc.d/.
I prefer having them in /sbin/init.d/ instead of in /etc/rc.d/init.d/
because the /sbin/ path has fewer characters in it, making it quicker to
type on the command line. But it's really a matter of personal
preference.
The "incompatible RPM layout" has only caused me problems when
trying to install large things like GNOME or KDE2 from non-SuSE RPMs.
This is not a particularly good thing; I think all the folks who make
distros that use RPM should get together and decide on a standard naming
convention/filesystem layout, but that's never gonna happen :-[ .
Hmmph, long live tarballs....

Add the -pad option to your cdrecord command line, or use the -dao
option. Read the man page to find out what both of those do. HTH!

They're all in /etc/init.d, not /etc/rc.d/init.d. One less character
than /sbin/init.d !

Date: 26 Mar 2001 22:27:07 -0500
OK, well, I fixed the termination settings... The drive still does
it. Here's my last hope:
I created the filesystem at the beginning, before I let the adapter do
the verify, and fix the one error it did find. Is there any chance
that the partitions/fs's need to be recreated since the adapter
remapped the bad spot? The bad spot was at the VERY beginning of the
drive, so I thought it might be affecting system stuff. Even still,
would this cause the drive to continue to act like this?
I don't have scsi_info on this machine, but I will install it to check
the bad blocks... If the grown list isn't growing, what else could it
be? a faulty drive?
One person mentioned heat, but I checked and it's fine. It's warm of
course, but in direct flow and mounted to metal.. definitely within
limits...
Thanks!!!

First, define "good video card". Are you looking for color/picture
quality, or 3D performance? If it's the former, you're probably better
off with a Matrox card. Friend of mine has a Matrox G400 and a 19"
Trinitron; he loves his setup. The G400 is kind of old, but it's very
well-supported under Linux and the picture quality is very good. 3D
performance is middling though.
If you want 3D performance, then you probably want a GeForce. However,
be prepared to do some tweaking and fiddling with (EVIL) binary-only
video add-on modules and kernel compilation options if you want really
high framerates for Q3.
If you want something that works reasonably well in 2D, is easy to set
up, and cheap, get an ATi Xpert98/99.
HTH, also hope this doesn't start any flamewars....

That's a minus for me too. SuSE was pretty much agnostic, but no more.

The only really good place to buy lumber is at a store where the lumber
has already been cut and attached together in the form of furniture,
finished, and put inside boxes.
