Subject: SCSI cdrom player pauses when playing audio
Date: Mon, 14 Aug 2000 13:57:53 GMT
Hi,
I have an Adaptec SCSI card (pretty sure it is an AIC-7892) on my NEC
cdrom drive, running RH linux 6.2 I have used the drive successfully
to load several large applications. (My way of saying I know its
working.) However, when I put in an audio CD and run either gtcd or
kscd I get about 1 second of audio, then the program pauses. On gtcd
if I go into loop mode, it plays a brief sample (< 1 sec) over and over
without difficulty. The rest of the sounds I have setup in linuxconf
work fine.
My cdrom is actually mapped to /mnt/cdrom1->/dev/cdrom1->/dev/scd0 I
don't know why, RH install program did this and mapped the RW-cd to
plain old cdrom. I've tried all these settings in the various
preferences of the gtcd and kscd, always with the same result.
Oh yes, I made sure the protection on all of the files listed in the
first sentence include execution (I did 775)
So I'm guessing this is a scsi related problem? The channel number is
0, ID is 06 and Lun is 0.
anyone even have any thoughts?

Hi :
I have a Biostar MB ( i810 chipset ) that include the sound card. In Windows
the driver is "Crystal WDM Audio Codec" & "MPU-401 compatible".
I need know, first, if they work in Linux, and second, same hints for the

First, a disclaimer, new to Linux. That being said I wonder is anyone can
shed some light on the install
and disk parititioning. I have three hard drives, first two dedicated to
Windows 98. The third one I
just installed as a primary on the secondary ide channel. I deleted the
paritition and proceded with the
Linux install (Red Hat 6.1 by the way). I get to the disk druid and try to
created parititions, I first
created the swap space with 100 meg, things ok so far. Then when I try to
create the boot or
root partition I get the error message stating "unallocated partitions

of "reason undefined". I have looked on RedHat's site and searched the
newsgroups but
haven't found anything yet Thanks in advance.

4M is a bit low for Linux - the minimum recommended is 8M. I know there
are ways to install Linux on a 4M machine (i.e. Slackware has a special
bootdisk and instructions for the installation), but I doubt it'll be
too usable with that amount of memory. Unless of course you want to make
it into a router/firewall or the likes. You may want to install an extra
4M in your machine anyway.

I don't understand why you have to "first install windows98, then windows

Seems that your hard disk have some problem or the installation is
unable to detect/use it.
Try create the partition manually.

Try putting the boot partition at the start of the HD. I believe
Disk Druid is written in such a way that it needs either the boot
partition or the root partition, if you do not have a boot partition,
before sector 1024. With newer BIOSs and with the latest version of
LILO, this should no longer be an issue, though I am not sure whether
the latest version of LILO has made its way into any distributions
yet.

You may want to verify that the directory where the libraries are
located is listed in /etc/ld.so.conf file. Then as root run ldconfig.

I had the same problem on my desktop.
here is a bit of my /etc/lilo.conf file.
image = /boot/vmlinuz-2.2.16
root = /dev/hde6
label = Linux
append="mem=128M"
the mem=128M being the significant value.
Of course after this you will need to run 'lilo -v' as root.

Sure. This is my /etc/lilo.conf file. Edit as necessary but you
should get the general idea. Basically you compile the new kernel,
move it to your boot (or root) partition, then add an entry for
the new kernel.
boot=/dev/hda
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
prompt
timeout=50
default=linux
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.12-20
label=old_kernel
initrd=/boot/initrd-2.2.12-20.img
read-only
root=/dev/hda8
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.16

Sure. This is my /etc/lilo.conf file. Edit as necessary but you
should get the general idea. Basically you compile the new kernel,
move it to your boot (or root) partition, then add an entry for
the new kernel. At the LILO prompt, I type either "old_kernel" or
"linux". The default, if I don't choose one, is "linux" as defined
by the "label=" line.
boot=/dev/hda
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
prompt
timeout=50
default=linux
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.12-20

The world isn't black and white. You may find it hard to believe, but
there actually exist people who don't want to build everything by hand,
and yet don't want to run Windows.

Virtually every computer with a password option in the BIOS has a jumper
on the motherboard. Depending on the motherboard, you either add (or remove)
a jumper. When you turn on the computer the password is either bypassed or
deleted. You can then go into the BIOS setup and correct the problem. Once
done, you can put the jumper setting back the way it was, and reboot.

Even people who can build by hand sometimes just want dumb
and simple, at least to start with.
For example, after many years of having a SCO machine as my
personal desktop, I'm about to switch to Linux (I've been
running a few Linux boxes here for a few years but they have
not been my main desktop).
I want as little work as possible when I do that.
Basically, I want to install the dist, configure it as
painlessly as possible and be up and running with 99%
functionality as quickly as possible. Lazy? You betcha.
I'm definitely going with something as user friendly as
possible, probably Caldera since they've bought SCO and I
expect some of the mannerisms I'm used to will find their
way into the product sooner rather than later.
