pnpdump to a temp file, edit it by hand, copy that to /etc/isapnp.conf.
modprobe in the desired modules. confirm that they both work, edit

That wasn't the problem.
The OP used dd to clear his entire HDD. (Which is a 10G IDE)
Now windows98 fdisk can only see 479 MB of this disk.
So this is not a linux question, but really a windows issue.
He should check BIOS settings for this disk. Windows doesn't detect disks,
it uses whatever the BIOS tells it.
To the OP:
Such mal im BIOS nach die settings fur diesen disk. Warscheinlich detectiert
das BIOS diesen disk falsch. Aendere das, so das diese disk richtig anerkent

I had the same type of problem with 2 network cards. I had one that I
wanted to use for my internal network and one for going out to a cable
modem. They are both PCI but one always loaded first when I set up the
machine no matter which slot I put it in. The way I got aroung it was to use Linuxconf
and simply
reassigne the first card from eth0 to eth1 and then the next one eth1 to eth0. When I
rebooted the machine that is the way it stayed.

Hi,
I just bought one of these and initially was very dissapointed becuase
Mandrake wouldn't install due to kernel panics during PCMCIA probing.
Having disabled that with PCMCIA=no, I've gotten most things working ok.
Apart from the firewire port and the modem (winmodems suck).
Does anyone have any information regarding the following chipsets and
getting them to work under Linux:
FireWire:
/proc/pci : Bus 1, device 0, function 0:
FireWire (IEEE1394): PCI device 104c:8021 (Texas
Instruments) (rev 2)
Master Capable, Latency=64, Min Gnt=3, Max Lat=4

[0xf41047ff]
Non-prefetchable 32 bit memory at 0xf4100000
[0xf4103fff]
PCMCIA:
/proc/pci: Bus 1, device 2, function 0:
CardBus bridge: Ricoh Co Ltd RL5c476 II (rev 128)
Master Capable, No Bursts, Max Lat=7.
Non-prefetchable 32 bit memory at 0xf4105000

Master Capable, No Bursts, Max Lat=7.

[0xf4106fff]
I've just noticed that it doesn't seem to detect the parallel port
either, but I don't know where to look for info on that.
Any help, greatly appreciated.

Hi,
I have a WANGTEK 5150EQ tape streamer with ISA controller card connected
to a PII with Mandrake 8.0 installed. Now I cannot approach the device
because there is no /dev/... for it or maybe I am looking at the wrong
/dev/... (I do a check with tar fb /dev/...) However the ftape modules
load OK into the kernel.
Does anyone have tips to get this thing going? The controller card has
dip switches for IRQ, DMA and ADDR, so unfortunately it isn't a Plug and
Pray thingie.
Thanks,

Have a look for the xwtools drivers+utils. They can be integrated in the

Hi,
is there anybody who runs the offline fax features of the US Robotics
56k Message modem with Linux? I've got SuSE 7.1 on a Pentium II and
can't, as a matter of fact, fax via my ISDN card. So I want to use an
external fax modem that can cache incoming faxes when the computer is
off.
Can I fetch those faxes from the modem with mgetty or hylafax? Or
would I better try to get an Elsa Microlink Office that SuSE describes
as fully supported in its 7.1 distribution. But Elsa has stopped
producing this modem.
Thanks in advance from Volker

I've noticed the same on my setup, using lm_sensors, even if I have "make
cpu idle calls when idle" compiled into the kernel. I suspect this is due
to less-than-perfect calibration in the lm_sensors package. Either that, ot
the numbers given in Windows are optimistic... ;)
I wouldn't worry too much about it, though, unless you are concerned about
your CPU overheating because of overclocking or poor cooling.

Yep, el cheapo cards that use the SIS 6326 with TV out option - I have one.
They are pretty crap (i.e. restricted to 640x480 and 800x600), and mine
doesn't like Windows ME 100%, so I can't resize my display on the TV.
640x480 is about 75% of the size of the TV screen and 800x600 is about 120%
of the size of the TVscreen.
If anybody knows how to fix this please contact me!

P.S. Don't buy it for graphics performance (the AGP ATI @Play cards with TV
out are good budget cards), since this thing runs like a dog without legs,
slower than an S3 Trio 3D (i.e. the only resolution it runs a modern game in

Subject: Who uses Hercules Game Theatre XP on Linux?
From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Andrew Luke Nesbit)
Date: Wed, 16 May 2001 11:57:45 GMT
I am very seriously thinking about buying one of these to be used primarily
on my Linux system (I am choosing it over TB Santa Cruz because of the cool
external box).
Does anybody have any experience in using this card with Linux? And what were
your impressions?
The most recent (i.e. bleeding edge) 2.4.4 kernel sources have this to say,
(from the file drivers/sound/cs46xx.c), but I'm not really sure as to what
it means in terms of end-usability results:
Playback/Capture supported from 8k-48k.
16Bit Signed LE & 8Bit Unsigned, with Mono or Stereo supported.
APM/PM - 2.2.x APM is enabled and functioning fine. APM can also
be enabled for 2.4.x by modifying the CS46XX_ACPI_SUPPORT macro
definition.
Hercules Game Pro XP - the EGPIO2 pin controls the external Amp,
but the static image can not modify the EGPIO pins, so we can not
turn on the external amp.
VTB Santa Cruz - the GPIO7/GPIO8 on the Secondary Codec control
the external amplifier for the "back" speakers, since we do not
support the secondary codec then this external amp is also not
turned on.
If anybody can shed some light for me, then that would be really great.
Thanks.

It's nice that you give it a try, although I fear that
your explanation won't help him in this scenario.
Georg:
Rerun Linux' fdisk program and make sure that there are no
partitions left over. You could also try cfdisk for that task.
Then check the system settings (CMOS) to find out what your BIOS
thinks about the drive geometry , and especially about the used
translation method.
In case there's no obvious error, try again from out of Linux,
delete all partitions, reboot, boot into Linux and create the
needed Win98 partitions from there.
I've seen similar problems with drives that contained either
MaxBlast software or other diskmanagers; it was sometimes impossible
to remove the remainders of these programs from the disk without
using "dd if=/dev/zero of..." on the whole disk (and not only the
boot sector).

Yes, except for people that are into heavy overclocking, I have never
understood why one should need CPU cooler code. As long as the CPU doesn't
exceed its vaild operating temperature range, there's probably no need to
worry. And if the CPU gets too hot, then better look at better
hardware-cooling instead of putting too much faith in some software
mechanism that is supposed to make your CPU run cooler.
