Subject: SCSI devices and SMP kernels
Date: Mon, 08 May 2000 23:55:18 -0300
Anybody here knows about the behaviour of SMP kernels with SCSI drivers?
I am trying to set up a right out of the box RPM package with a SMP
kernel (the same version non SMP is already running)...when I boot, I
get "kernel panic" cause the root fs (on sda1) could not be mounted due
a problem loading the aic7xxx.o module....no, its not a version issue or
something like that....
...some dudes told me that I can't use some SCSI drivers with SMP
kernels...is that a fact?
thanks,

Subject: how do i set modem for full-duplex in Linux?
Date: Tue, 09 May 2000 02:47:32 GMT
I connect to the Internet on my Windows box through my Linux box
running IP Masquerade, which dials up with a USR 56k modem.
I have had trouble with full-duplex voice communication applications
(NetMeeting, BuddyPhone, Dialpad) on my Windows box, and I'm guessing
this is due to the Linux gateway. I recall that if there is a modem
device installed in Windows, I must explicitly set it for full-duplex
mode, and I'm wondering if there's something similar I can set under
Linux.
Am I anywhere close in addressing this problem? If anyone has gone
through this, I would greatly appreciate any help. Thanks.

Agreed. If you find any instance of "yast" or "yast2", you're on a SuSE box.

I run Linux with XFree86 v4.0 on a machine with a PCI S3 Trio3D card using

Linux prints to these differently than Windows. (I presume that you have
installed native printer drivers for these printers under Windows.)
Linux apps generally output postscript which is then converted using a
filter specified in your printcap to the language needed by your
printer. The HP 932C uses PCL3c and the Oki OL400 probably uses some
form of PCL4.5 or PCL5.
Your Windows drivers already output this, so you don't want any
filtering at all. One way to accomplish this is to define a new printer
in the printcap file for each of the shared printers. Make them
identical to the Linux accessed versions, but don't specify an input
filter (leave out the if= line).

You need additional ip-masq modules that will allow you to use
Netmeeting, etc. The default ip_masq modules that come with a
distribution are for http, ftp, irc, and realplayer. If you want other
service, like icq, you have to get the ip_masq module for that service
(ip_masq_icq.o module in the case of icq).
For more info and access to ip_masq resources and Howtos, try
http://ipmasq.cjb.net/
Good Luck.

Well, I never claimed to be Larry Wall... :-)
I'll dissect the thing line-by-line so you can figure things out:

comments.

Start of a loop. This means "Take the results of the command 'ls
*.tar.gz' and set the variable i to each result in turn, then do the stuff
inside the loop for each value of i."
>> tar xvzf $i
Extract the file that i is set to.
>> j=`echo $i | sed -e 's/\.tar\.gz//' -`
The worst line to understand. This strips the .tar.gz from the value of i
and assigns it to the variable j, because by convention,
"blah-1.2.3.tar.gz" untars to a directory called "blah-1.2.3" which
contains a bunch of files.
>> cd $j
cd to the directory we created by untarring, of course.
>> for k in `ls *.tar.gz`; do
List all tarballs, set the value of k to each tarball in turn
>> tar xvzf $k
Extract all tarballs in the subdirectory.

Finish of the k loop

Go back up to the directory we started in
>> done
Finish of i loop.
>Perhaps you could recommend a GUI archiver? Didn't know they existed,

There's something for KDE called ark; it handles ZIPs and tarballs. I'm
certain that similar packages exist for GNOME as well, and indeed for raw
Xlib. Check out http://freshmeat.net and search for "GUI archiver";
you'll find at least 10 programs to try out. Wish I could be more help
here, but since I've been using Linux for almost a year now I've become a
total command-line junkie....

CDRW disks work just like CD-R disks, except that they need to be blank before you
record. Since xcdroast won't erase a CDRW disk, you need to erase it manually
with cdrecord (unless you find another program I don't know about) before
programming it under xcdroast.
If anyone knows of any options to get xcdroast to erase a CDRW disk, please let me
know as I have looked all over the program and haven't found those options.

On the Linux machine, are you using the same drive you used to burn it?

Some CD drives have problems reading CD-RW media. Are you using CD-R or
-RW media?

Odds are that MS joilet support is not enabled in your kernel (or module not
installed). If you are using RedHat's 6.2 installation kernel (ie-you haven't
compiled your own kernel), then MS joilet format is NOT included. You will
need to recompile your kernel with joilet support enabled.

Hi, there,
I tried to re-partition my SCSI HD during the weekend
to recover some space. Somehow, the partition number
for the two Linux partitions (from sda8 & sda9 to
sda6 & sda7). Now Linux won't boot.
I think I have to modify these two files:
lilo.conf
fstab
(is there any files I have to modify?)
Of course, I don't have a Linux boot disk!
Is there any SW out there that allow me to edit these
files from DOS/Win95?
Can I jump to a shell from Redhat 6.1 installation
CD?
Thanks for your help!

THe BP6 is a tricky little mobo to get to work properly, heres a list of the
PCI config:
PCI 1 shares an irq with the AGP port
PCI 2 has its own irq
PCI 3 shares with the udma66 controller
PCI 4 shares with slot 5 and the USB
You might want to check and see if one of these shares is causing your
troubles, but I would probably start with your kernel and the module for that
card. I looked into Compex but was unable to find that card listed, so I
would go straight to the Ethernet HOW-TO at:
http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/Ethernet-HOWTO.html
and see if your card will support a generic driver. Else, you can always zip
out and get a cheap-o D-Link card, works great for me!

Erasing the media isn't the problem. It has to do with the ability of
the lasers on some (usually older) CDROM drives to discern the marks on
a CD-RW.
>From the CD Recordable FAQ:
CD-RW drives use phase-change technology. Instead of creating
"bubbles" and deformations in the recording dye layer, the state
of material in the recording layer changes from crystalline to
amorphous form. The different states have different refractive
indicies, and so can be optically distinguished.
These discs are not writable by standard CD-R drives, nor readable
by most older CD readers (the reflectivity of CD-RW is far below
CD and CD-R, so an Automatic Gain Control circuit is needed to
compensate). Most new CD-ROM drives do support CD-RW media, but
not all them will read CD-RW discs at full speed.
