Have you cruised the HP site? I haven't used Linux on this box, but the
Kayaks do some pretty strange things under Win2000. My impression is a box
where doing a 'ps' can crash the Telephony
service has BIOS issues.

Do you think I can get a HP Scanjet 3400C to work with Linux 2.4. I have
SUSE 7.1 too. Was it the 2.4 kernel that comes with this distro that you
used? I can be reached at [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Maybe you found a kernel bug. I believe the aic7xxx driver is
significantly "improved" as of 2.4.3. Have a look at the changelog. Maybe
try recompiling it as a module if already in kernel or already in kernel if
it is a module.

Subject: /dev/dsp doesn't work, but everything else seems fine...
Date: Fri, 11 May 2001 16:55:37 +0100
I have a strange problem with /dev/dsp. Running SUSE 7.1 with a Videologic
Sonicfury (TurtleBeach Santa Cruz). Sound apps work, i.e. mp3 players and
such although I'm not sure if the drivers are midi capable as yet. When I
cat a sample to /dev/dsp it will take the exact amount of time the sample
takes to play, but no sound will be produced. Quake 3 also uses /dev/dsp by
default, but fails on the sound initialization stage causing white noise to
be produced. The white noise can be cancelled by starting some other audio
app.
/dev/dsp is linked to dev/dsp0.
I've tried recreating the device with mknod, but it's still the same. I
have absolutely no idea what to try next, or whether this is a shortcoming
of the current driver set...
Ideas gratefully received!

Yes, but I think the error has to do with moving very large files, not just
a bunch of files at the same time. So to test this, you would really need a
single large file, maybe 200 mb copied from another hard drive.

You need to give more detail about the data transfer that is locking the

Subject: Soundblaster 32: no "init-module:"
I had a Soundblaster 32 card working in my Linux machine some time ago
(kernels 2.2.x, etc.). I have recently upgraded to RH 7.0 and upgraded
the kernel to 2.4.4, and somewhere along the line (I am not sure when),
my sound disappeared. Here is my modules.conf:
alias eth0 ne
options ne io=0x300 irq=9
alias ppp0 ppp_async
alias scsi_hostadapter aic7xxx
alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc
options parport_pc io=0x378 irq=7
alias sound-slot-0 sb
options sound dmabuf=1
options opl3 io=0x388
alias midi awe_wave
post-install awe_wave /bin/sfxload /etc/midi/GU11-ROM.SF2
options sb io=0x220 irq=7 dma=1 dma16=5 mpu_io=0x330
I have verified that the io, irq, dma and mpu_io settings are the same
as before, and are correct.
When I attempt to load the module sb, I get the following messages:
/lib/modules/2.4.4/kernel/drivers/sound/sb.o: init_module:
No such device
/lib/modules/2.4.4/kernel/drivers/sound/sb.o: insmod
/lib/modules/2.4.4/kernel/drivers/sound/sb.o failed
/lib/modules/2.4.4/kernel/drivers/sound/sb.o: insmod
sound-slot-0 failed
==========
Is there something obviously wrong in this configuration? Or has my
sound card failed?
/proc/interrupts shows that IRQ 7 is unused:
CPU0
0: 133029 XT-PIC timer
1: 2612 XT-PIC keyboard
2: 0 XT-PIC cascade
4: 20575 XT-PIC serial
5: 7777 XT-PIC ide2
8: 1 XT-PIC rtc
9: 191 XT-PIC NE2000
10: 21 XT-PIC aic7xxx
12: 45333 XT-PIC PS/2 Mouse
14: 22 XT-PIC ide0
15: 10 XT-PIC ide1
NMI: 0
ERR: 0
And /proc/dma shows only DMA 4 used ("cascades".
Any suggestions?

Sorry to butt-in on this thread, but where is this ide.2.2.17 patch? and is
it supposed to permit use of the Promise ATA100 (20267) chips with the 2.2.17
kernels ? The reason I ask is that I have such a card that is working fine
with my 2.4.4 kernel, but unfortunately, a SCSI Microtek slide scanner 35t+
that works with the 2.2.x kernels simply does not work with any of the 2.4.x
kernels I have tried (2.4.0, 1, 2, 3 or 4). Using a patched 2.2.17 kernel
permitting access to drives on my ATA100 card may be an ideal solution!

Greetings wise ones
The scroll wheel on my good old MouseMan+ has been working nicely under
Linux for years. A couple of weeks ago I purchased a new PC, so that now I
have two machines - one running Linux and one running Windows 2000 (only
for games of course). Because I don't want two monitors, two keyboards
and two mice on my desk (not to mention paying for it), I also bought a
switch box (Master view CS-114).
The strange thing is that the Win 2000 box has no problem with the scroll
wheel, while Linux appears to regard the switch box as a standard three
button mouse with no scroll wheel.
What I've tried: I wondered if it could be the kudzu program that RedHat
launches at boot time that doesn't recognize the scroll wheel, so I tried
plugging the mouse directly into the PC (scroll wheel immediately worked,
no reconfiguration necessary), disabled kudzu and replaced the mouse in the
switch box (scroll wheel stopped working right away).
Any help will be greatly appreciated, since I have become addicted to using
the scroll wheel.

I purposefully avoided moving hardware or changing BIOS settings because I didn't want
to disrupt my "stable" windows system on the same box.
Some motherboards allow you to configure the IRQs per slot.
Some BIOS's allow you to disable ports you aren't using and that can shift IRQs
around.

FWIW, I have a couple of Sony DDS3 dat drives, one a single-tape loader,
the other an 8-tape autoloader. One's been in use for about a year, the
other for about half of a year, and they both work very well. There are

Subject: ATAPI tape failures in 2.4.4
Date: Fri, 11 May 2001 18:06:11 GMT
Hi,
I upgraded from kernel 2.2.17 to 2.4.4. I used "make oldconfig" to be sure I
had as many of the prior settings as possible. Didn't change any of the old
settings. I am running under RedHat 6.2. And, yes, I did all the updates
required
to go to the 2.4.4 kernel.
I use a Seagate ATAPI tape drive, model STT20000A.
I have no problems in 2.2.17 doing IDE tape backups using dump, restore, and mt.
In kernel 2.4.4, I get the following repeatable scenarios (which all work in
2.2.17):
* In a full tape dump of about 50MB or so, everything goes smoothly. No errors.
* In a full tape dump of a little over 1GB (to a 10GB tape), I get the following
errors
immediately after the backup completes and I try to write a file mark with "mt":
May 9 16:50:49 isaiah kernel: ide-tape: Reached idetape_chrdev_open
May 9 16:52:05 isaiah kernel: hdd: irq timeout: status=0xd0 { Busy }

May 9 16:54:06 isaiah kernel: ide-tape: ht0: I/O error, pc = 34, key = 2, asc
= 4,
ascq = 1
* In a full tape dump of between 6GB and 7GB, the backup completes, I
successfully write a tape file mark with "mt", rewind, then attempt to compare.
I get:
May 9 04:21:18 isaiah kernel: ide-tape: Reached idetape_chrdev_open
May 9 04:22:35 isaiah kernel: ide-tape: bh == NULL in
idetape_copy_stage_to_user

I also tried SCSI emulation mode (something I didn't have to do in 2.2.17)
and it didn't work either. In SCSI emulation mode, my CD-ROM drive worked
OK in SCSI emulation, but the tape drive still did not work. When I tried:
mt -f /dev/st0 rewind
I got the following errors:
May 10 07:49:33 isaiah kernel: st0: Error with sense data: [valid=0] Info
fld=0x0,
Current st09:00: sense key Illegal Request
May 10 07:49:33 isaiah kernel: Additional sense indicates Invalid command
operation code
I've reverted back to 2.2.17 kernel just so I can do successful IDE tape
backups until I can get this problem with 2.4.4 resolved.
Any helpful input appreciated. Please reply directly, as I'm not a member
of this list. If I'm not stating the problem clearly, or if I haven't provided
enough data, please let me know.
