Hi Mike,
I am using slack, kernel version 2.2.14. I have an IBM DeskStar UDMA33
drive running on an old i430HX board, the Tyan Tomcat IV. Upon bootup I
get this error:
Partition check:
hda:hda: timeout waiting for DMA
hda: irq timeout: status=0x58 { DriveReady SeekComplete DataRequest }
hda: DMA disabled
ide0: reset: success
hda1 hda2 hda3
I can enable UDMA transfers using 'hdparm -d1 /dev/hda' but when I do a
'hdparm -Tt /dev/hda' I only get a transfer rate of about 5mb/sec. I've
been through the Ultra-DMA mini-HOWTO and tried the things mentioned in
the email below, but haven't really come up with any answers.
Would you, or anyone on these newsgruops, have any recommendations?
Should I update the kernel version? Wait for 2.4? Keep looking for
updated drivers? Am I just being transfer-rate-greedy? :)
Thanks in advance for any help.

Mark,
I this working fine but with a SCSI hard drive from an A530. I used redhat
with affs as a kernel module. I've never tried an IDE drive though but I
can't see why it would be any different.
To check that FFS support is working you could try mounting an ADF file via
the loopback device. I don't remember the commands but they are in the
mount manpage.
Good luck,
Dale

Subject: Kernel compilation error - as86? What's that?
From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Jesse F. Hughes)
Date: Mon, 17 Apr 2000 22:52:50 GMT
I'm trying to compile the kernel for Slackware 7.0 -- the source is
2.2.13. However, I get the following error:
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.2.13/arch/i386/boot'
gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux/include -E -D__BIG_KERNEL__ -traditional
-DSVGA_MODE=NORMAL_VGA bootsect.S -o bbootsect.s
as86 -0 -a -o bbootsect.o bbootsect.s
make[1]: as86: Command not found
make[1]: *** [bbootsect.o] Error 127
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.2.13/arch/i386/boot'
make: *** [bzImage] Error 2
What the heck is as86? The closest I find is a command called "as"
that apparently comes in binutils. Here's the output of "ld -v":
GNU ld version 2.9.1 (with BFD 2.9.1.0.25)
Since the Changes file requires 2.8.1.0.23, I assume I'm okay there.
What is wrong with my poor li'l machine?

If anyone is answering this one how about answering mine (I don't know
anything about partition magic, or disk druid, et al for that matter).
I have a Linux machine with a 3 gig Win partition I no longer need,
and a Windows machine with a 3 Gig Linux partition I no longer need.
Will partition magic convert the Linux partition to a DOS partition?
Will it convert the DOS partition on the Linux box to a Linux
partition - or can I do that fairly easily from Linux? In both casers
I would prefer to change the excess partition without reinstalling the
OS.

You probably don't really want to do it that way though. That
will add it again and again, once for each level of subshell.
Not a big deal perhaps, but the right way is to put in into
~/.bash_profile, ~/.bash_login or ~/.profile, whichever one of
is in use. That way it is set for the login shell and exported
exactly as set to each and every subshell, without adding on another
dot path each time a subshell is exec'd.

I just wrote a simple smb.conf file by hand. This was for a
three computer network at home.
I had wanted to log into Windows 95 without a password. At the
time, if I did this, samba would require a password to be typed
in when someone wanted to print to a printer that was connected
to the Linux machine.
Since then, I have started using a password when logging into
Windows 95. I use TweakUI to provide the password and log in
automatically. From then on, I don't have to enter a password
for the printer share.
We have people come into the house to work with our son and one
of the things they do from time to time is print things out. I
just did not want to have to remember to give the password to
these people. After doing the above, I don't have to worry about
it.
Seeing your post, I thought there might be a better way.

You need to load the "bin86" package from the "D" series. This has
the as86 assembler which is only needed to build the boot sector
