While I am happy with my A7V133, there are reports of problems with the VIA 686B
southbridge. The most often reported problem is with large (100MB) DMA file transfers
between drives on each IDE channel, in a system with a SoundBlaster Live. Appears to
be a PCI setup
problem, fixable with a BIOS update. We'll see.
Since this chip is used by most recent, decent Athlon motherboards, it's hard to
avoid. I haven't seen it, but I don't have a SB Live. Plus I'm only using one hard
drive, plus one CD burner.
You might want to wait for a week, and see how this plays out.
PS - the 686B adds ATA100 to the standard IDE channels. The A7V only supports ATA100
on the Promise controller, the A7V133 is ATA100 on all.

I've never seen that. My disk has primary partitions with Windows98, OpenBSD, and
Linux swap, and an extended partition with multiple logical partitions with Linux
filesystems. In other words, ONLY Linux on the extended partition. Works fine. Both
the ATAPI and SCSI
CD-ROM show up, all of the time.
Something else is going on with your system. Perhaps it's because I don't use the
Microsoft fdisk, which is brain-dead about other partition types. Linux fdisk has had
bugs, in the past. And good practice is to check with Linux sfdisk. But Windows just
ignores the
non-FAT partitions on my system.
I've been dual-booting (and triple, quad, etc.) for 6 years without Windows freaking
out over unknown partition types. Perhaps it isn't Windows at all that's the problem,
but some Windows application that you are running.

You can use any modem you want unless it is configured on the good PVC.
To check this, telnet the good modem and enter :
phonebook autolist
to get its auto PVC. Do the same with the other one and you shoould have
the same value (8/35 in France for PPPoE connections).

Reset the other modem. Access the good one via TFTP and get the whole
configuration (.ini files in /active/). Now, connect the other one via
TFTP and push ini files in /active/. Reboot and you're done.
I don't know if this manipulation can change auto PVC.

It brought the whole show down because the application was central to the
entire system. When the application won't run, neither does the system.
That has nothing to do with the OS.

Unix is neither more or less aptly suited. Please explain how the same

I appears to have been the cdrom medium.
After i updated mount and did a reboot
the device seemed to work
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Apr 17 15:51 cdrom ->
/dev/scd0

However, the cdr with the image of RedHat 7.1 says that it's unable to

Perhaps I burned the cd incorrectly.

it's ohio, but that's close enough. by inexpensive, i intend to spend under

Good idea ;-)
Let's elaborate a bit....
Feed the hot CPU coolant into a heat exchanger. It could distribute
the heat to your hot-water heater, and (by season) to your hot air
heating (in autumn/winter/spring) and your outdoor pool
(spring/summer/autumn).
You might even be able to offer some spare heat as a service to your
neighbours <g>.

If you have never used it, it would seem strange. But just think, there
was automatic code generation before PCs. You can draw a diagram on your
display, and it starts running. The VM reads a line of the drawing and
executes it. Sort of like having a VM read a UML diagram and run the
code.

This happened on the USN cruiser Yorktown - look up comp.risks
archives for the gory details. You guys do all read comp.risks, don't
you?
In summary, an application failed to validate input, causing a divide
by zero error in a related process (NOT the entry screen) but that
managed to cause a BSOD crash, which in turn took the engines down.
Subsequent reboots failed due to the persistence of the error
(recorded in the in the db) causing reboots to fail in the same way.
The problem was eventually fixed by bypassing application autostart
and hacking into the DB to fix the error. Yorktown was dead in the
water until the problem was diagnosed and fixed, but IIRC eventually
powered up and returned to port.
The real trouble was that the NT box was a single point of failure.
As others have said, you should not use NT OR a *nix in a truly
critical system. Aircraft use at least triply redundant hardware with
continual crosschecks and hand shaking to enable error detection and
voting downnthe failing system. Less portable applications are written
for Compaq NonStop (running the Guardian OS) or Stratus (running VOS)
systems which have software and hardware designed to survive any
single point failure and with hot-pluggable replacement for all
components.

I've never used the Mandrake distro, but just by looking I see the
following....
Your USB controller and the NIC are assigned the same interrupt.
(IRQ 9).
Your VGA controller and serial controller are assigned the same
interrupt (IRQ 10).
I believe you can sepcify the IRQ in the modules.conf, but I
don't have the format handy.
