I found the following patch on a German newsgroup. It would be nice if
it were included in the official version of linux...:
In ~linux/drivers/sound/sb_common.c, on line 778 (my be different for
2.2.x):
if (hw_config->dma2 == -1)
devc->dma16 = devc->dma8;
- else if (hw_config->dma2 < 5 || hw_config->dma2 > 7)
+ else if (hw_config->dma2 < 0 || hw_config->dma2 > 7)
{
printk ("SB16: Bad or missing 16 bit DMA channel\n");
devc->dma16 = devc->dma8;

Date: 19 Mar 1999 20:24:45 GMT
Thanks to both Kyle and Lance.
I got the zip drive working finally, using kernel 2.2.3.
I was using the 250MB disk supplied by iomega. It was partitioned and
preformatted. So it was not a problem with the disk as Lance suggested.
I also had the scsi device files setup in /dev (/dev/sda*, /dev/sdb* etc).
So it could only be the driver problem.
I got linux kernel 2.2.3 from www.linuxhq.com and compiled it. It has
a more recent version of imm driver (0.2x) as opposed to the 0.18
I was using with kernel 2.0.36. I got the 0.18 version from
http://www.torque.net/~campbell
But I don't think you should get imm v0.18. Kernel 2.2.3 has in-built
support for imm 0.2. I mean, you can select imm support while configuring
the kernel.
It took me 3-4 kernel compiles to get everything right. For my micron
millennia pc with pentium II 450, I had to select the following:
general setup -> parallel port support (parport.o),
pc style hardware support (parport_pc.o)
scsi -> scsi support, scsi disk support
Elsewhere, it had an option for ppa or imm drivers. I selected imm.
The kernel probes the parallel port while booting. To do this and detect
the port type correctly, it needs parport.o and parport_pc.o precompiled
into the kernel. They should not be modules.
Then imm driver (also compiled into the kernel) detected the drive correctly.
The disk was assigned to sda and the partition check identified sda4
as expected for windows formatted zip disk.
Another tip, kernel 2.2.3 was too big to be make a zImage file even though
I selected minimal support. You can save a few minutes if you do
make bzImage instead of make zImage.

recommend you try to use the egcs compiler (http:://egcs.cygnus.com) - much
better than the GCC stuff.
You can try man gcc for a starting point, and there is a considerable amount of

Well, if you go to serv.net's web page, you'll see a 'Powered by

I haven't found that to be the case. Their distributions have worked well for
me (5.0, 5.1, and 5.2). Also, RedHat is paying programmers to write and
maintain open source software, which software is freely (as in free beer)
distributed on the internet. They are good citizens in the Linux community as
far as I can determine.
Their economic model is such that I would be surprised if don't strive for
excellence. They are aiming at brand name recognition. Right now the only way
they can do that is to deliver quality. The folks who use Linux are spoiled by
top quality, and will probably not well tolerate marginal (MS like) quality.
When you think of RedHat, think of Perrier (bottled water). Water is
essentially free, or at least very low cost to produce. RedHat is selling the
name, and some service.
They provide a major convenience to me. As long as they keep their price
reasonable I will continue to support them with purchases. You have the same
choice.

I think *performace* is the key to the "farms" as opposed to
"price/performace ratio"... when you're looking at large clusters &
farms, you want each individual processing node to have good
performance... As I mentioned in a previous post, low-end Alphas are
competing agains high-end Intel...if you want individual node
performance *better* than the low-end Alpha, then forget about Intel...
particularly when your dual cpu 21264 systems have a SpecFP95 value
pushing a factor of 10 greater than the top dual cpu Intel system...

there is a special "read ufs" kernel module in linux somewheres you need to
have.
And remember, you need to be reading a ufs partition from the same
architecture. (which I think you are trying to do).
Only solaris x86 ufs, should be attempted on linux x86.

Red Hat and it's derivatives have linuxconf and that is damn handy. The

Pentium III chip with the individual serial number that can

turned on and off by software. Following some links I found the
www.fightdivx.com website and noticed that they have a Intel Boycott
page with links, quotes and info on why you should boycott the
invasion of privacy Pentium III chips. Just like everyone suspected,
the ID number can be taken without a customers knowledge. Just like
cellular phone fraud, once someone has your unique ID number, they
could pose as you on the internet. Do not be fooled by reports that
this problem is fixed because Intel disabled this feature by software
on their up coming chips. Information is power. They want to know
your surfing and buying habits. That is what this is all about. Here
is the link to the page with the boycott info and links.

Also you will find a Boycott Intel screen saver and banner on their

You need to set up an X server on the windows box (yes,
I said server. ) There are a few free ones for Windows -
consensus seems to be that they all look pretty crappy.
There are also a few commercial ones.
There's a How-to about Remote-X at Metalab (used to
be sunsite) http://www.metalab.unc.edu/pub/Linux/docs/Howto
It *may* be in the "mini Howto" directory...

Hi All !
I got the feeling RedHat will be the next MS in term of owning the
share market of PC softwares
and building junky stuffs, but getting good at marketing. They are
rushing like guys&girls at MS Corp,
releasing premature, buggy softwares.
Just my observations.

How long does it take to fill up a 64k code+data segment? Now
how long does it take to fill up a 4gb code+data segment? I'm
sure that one of the days we'll see programs that are larger
than this, but it may not be for a couple of year yet. If we
can live with a maximum of 4gb of space per program (that's 4
times the current limitation, 2 times if you do kernel hacks)
the kernel will be the only entity that needs to worry about
segment+offset addresses.
segment+offset addresses are a bit of a pain, but if you're
programming in a higher level language they certainly aren't more of
a pain than the 68ks separate address and data registers were.

And recertify. So you'll lose three months doing the certification,
but your competitors will gladly stand down and not take advantage
of you being out of the market.

ok, I'd like to have a host run something on my desktop. On my
end I'm doing 'xhost +' to allow any connection. Then on the
other end I'm setting the DISPLAY variable to xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:0.0.
and when I begin the program on the remote host with <app> &, a process
starts but I get nothing on my desktop. do I have to set up some kind
of server on my end or what?
oh yeah, I'm running RH5.2 (don't know what kernel) if that makes a
difference. oh, and I get the IP address from DHCP, but I'm checking
to see what it is before I set the DISPLAY var on the other end.
thanks
