The Fujitsu MPC 3032AT is a 3.24 GB drive. ( see
http://hdd.fujitsu.com/global/drive/mpc30xx/mpc30xxat.html )
What does linux print at bootup ?
( look in the file /var/log/boot*, or run the command "dmesg" )
Also post the contents of relevant files in /proc/ide/

Try modprobe es1371
If it works, add this line to your rc.local file and sound should work on restart of
your computer. It worked for my system when I was running RH 7.0 and now 7.1
Hope this helps.

I have an ATI Rage 128 4x AGP card 32ram and a Viewsonic A75f monitor.
Could someone provide me a XF86config or tell me which file I need to edit
i.e, XF86config XF86config-4, I have no clue which one to use, but it
appears that the X server wants to use the -4 file. Please be a little more
specific, I am new to Linux :)
please?
My log output is below, Please tell me exactly what I have to do.

Can anyone Help me.
I have a DDS3 HP tape drive and I want to find out how do I mount the tape
to allow viewing the contents of it? The backup process Tar's up a file and
puts it on /dev/st0 but I cannot seem to veryify the contact of the tape
once complete. I get a file with the file names that have been copied from
the backupscript.
What File system should be specified when mounting this type of tape?
Also, can one file be extracted from the tar file, by specifying its file
name, or do you have to specify its full original path prior to taring?
Any help appreciated.
Thanks

Did you do *any* looking on your own? This is about as FA as a FAQ can get.
You don't mount a tape -- it's not a block device. To list the contents
of the tar on the tape (just as you would a tar file on disk), usr 'tar t',
as in 'tar tf /dev/nst0'.

Linux new convert. Maybe I have missed some readily available document?
I have a Seagate Travan IDE ST8000 but It detects as a hard disk /dev/hdd
and refuses to work
A search of the web (and this group) reveal a lot of people with the same
problem (also with scsi tape drives) - seems to apply to HP Colorados as
well.
There seems to be no Howto on the subject
The answers seem to be in snippets all over the web
So, could some kind guru possibly describe (step by step) how to install an
ATAPI tape drive and possibly turn it into a HowTo / Faq?
ide-tape is in the kernal
All tape software tried says there is no tape.
Any help appreciated

Then these values don't belong to this drive.(Or they are incomplete)
Either one is true.
Hmm.. taking a look at that page. Perhaps the number
of sectrors per track isn't constant.?
I suppose that will be indeed the physical format.

Does the Shuttle AI61 Motherboard with an 900 mhz Athlon chip run under
Linux? The hard drive is a Seagate 20 GB ATA100.
I have RH 7.0 and would like to try it on the system, but can find no info
on the compatibility.
I appreciate any help.
