Pardon me for butting in, but does VMWare run the guest OS in a linux
process? In other words, do you still enjoy pre-emptive multitasking
between guest OSs? How does VMWare overcome NT's steely determination to
control access to the hardware itself>

That what you have, You wrote to me that you have NE2000 card, and this
card is the easiest card to configure.

You only need add line to conf.modules at /etc like this:

Subject: Problem with smc-ultra
Date: Mon, 18 Sep 2000 12:06:55 GMT

Hi,

I had a Linux PC with 2 ISA Ethernet cards, running Debian 2.1, kernel
2.0.38. Modules for the cards are 3c509 and smc-ultra, without options
(autoprobe). And it worked fine.
This weekend I installed Debian 2.2 with kernel 2.2.17. Still with my 2
cards. But the installation of the smc-ultra module failed. Installation
of the module reports than the device is busy, card not found. I tried
to configure the IRQ and the IO on the card and to use it for the module
parameters, but it changes nothing. Il tried to load the module 8260 (or
something like that, a module on which smc-ultra depends), but it is
still not working.

Is it a known problem, or am I alone ? If somebody has an idea...

Thanks

I am also using the uniprint drivers with my Epson 600. There are three
which I use, the 360, the 720, and the 1440x720. You will probably also
notice you don't have enough green as well as red.

There is a gimp printer plugin which corrects this and will provide you with
another driver, std, if you have gs5.50. My gs is 5.1 so I didn't build the
driver, but printing with gimp and this plugin, the colors are correct and
the print quality is extremely good. The url is:

I am trying to install Mandrake 7.0 on an older laptop.  When the
install gets to the part where it is looking for SCSI disks, the install
says there was an error during the probe of the PCI bus.  I'm pretty
sure that this laptop does not have a PCI bus.  Is there a boot option I
can set to turn off PCI probing?

Subject: Toshiba PCMCIA cd-rom problem
Date: 18 Sep 2000 12:47:35 GMT

Hi folks,

is there anyone out there who has experiences with the Toshiba Portege
(I own a 7020CT) and Toshiba's original PCMCIA cd-rom device (24x for
PCMCIA, ParPort and USB)?

I read and tried so much now that I would appreciate every single hint like
'Forget it' or 'Have a look at ...'. If it's working somewhere, I'm 
especially interested in your program versions.

Currently I'm running a 2.2.17 kernel with 3.1.20 pcmcia modules.

The PCMCIA card is detected (two high beeps) so that ide_cs is used, but I get
strange IO errors.

# cardctl insert
hdc: SR242S, ATAPI CDROM drive
ide1 at 0x120-0x127,0x12e on irq 10
hdc: ATAPI 24X CD-ROM drive, 128kB Cache
hdc: packet command error: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
hdc: packet command error: error=0x50

  The failed "Start/Stop Unit" packet command was:
  "1b 00 00 00 03 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 "

Additional info:

Socket 1:
  Vcc 5.0V  Vpp1 0.0V  Vpp2 0.0V
  interface type is "memory and I/O"
  irq 10 [exclusive] [level]
  function 0:
    config base 0x0200
      option 0x41 status 0x00 pin 0x00 copy 0x00

    io 0x0120-0x012f [auto]
Socket 1:
  product info: "FREECOM", "PCCARD-IDE", "REV836"

If a CD is inserted, the mount command results in a CD-ROM spindle that
is speeding up to an arbitrary speed and then speeding down.
The error messages depend on which CD I am inserting!

# mount -t iso9660 /dev/hdc /mnt/cd/
mount: block device /dev/hdc is write-protected, mounting read-only
hdc: packet command error: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }

       or too many mounted file systems

If the cd is mounted 'successfully', a cp command yields something like this:

Subject: Caldera SMC ISA card problem
Date: Mon, 18 Sep 2000 13:28:28 GMT

I am running Caldera edesktop 2.4. I am trying to get it to find my SMC Ether EZ 8416 
ISA ethernet card for connection to the net. Here 
are my specs:
p133, dual boot with win98/edesktop 2.4. , cable modem.
I have read the information on isapnp.conf, and tried to follow what I have read, but 
still no success. I know the I/O and IRQ settings for 
the card that work fine in my windows partition. From what i understand, Linux won't 
recognize a PNP ISA card unless you do something 
in the isapnp.conf file. 
Can anyone walk this linux greenhorn through the steps to get my Linux to use this 
card? Obviously I am new at this  :-)

Thanks,
Joe

ps. my sound card isn't working in Linux either :-(
If you can point me in the right direction here too, I would be most appreciative. The 
"sb" fails at boot up. I am using an archaic (circa 
1996) sound card, mwave. I think this is an ISA issue too, but can't find 
easy-to-understand instructions. TIA.

Subject: Upgrading and recompiling kernel - questions
Date: Mon, 18 Sep 2000 13:49:02 GMT

I've been having trouble getting Linux to properly recognize my
IDE-controller chipset (AMD K6-2/500 on a ASUS p5A-B motherboard), so I
downloaded the 2.4 kernel (presently have 2.2.14-5) and compiled it.
The kernel compiled okay, but there were some problems with the modules;
one of the sound files kept crapping out...however, it was in a module
for a card I don't have, so I choose "N" in make config for that card
and recompiled Kernel/modules.  To be clear, I did the following

make xconfig
make deps
make clean
make bzImage
make modules
make modules_install.

I copied the bzImage to /boot as vmlinuz-2.4 and edited lilo.conf as
needed (see below).  Even though the modules konked out at first, I
tried booting up to see if the new kernel worked and it did modulo no
modules.  After I corrected the module problem  and recompiled, the new
kernel wouldn't boot....Lilo just returned with "Error 0x00".  After
some time, I ended up moving the 2.2.14 kernel, 2.4 kernel and boot.b
from /boot to /Newboot (boot is on /dev/hda3, whereas /NewBoot is on
/dev/hda1 at the beginning of the disk) and the Error 0x00 problem
disappeared.  Out of curiosity (not the real reason for this post)
anyone know what this was about?

Sorry for the long-windedness....but here is my final problem that I
can't fix and I'm sure its not that hard, I'm just an idiot.

When I boot up with the new kernel, it *CANNOT* find the new modules
(make modules_install installed them in /lib/modules/2.4.0-test9/).  I'm
sure that there is one final step that I haven't done, but couldn't find
anything in the HOWTO's (for instance, the Module mini talks about using
kerneld, but my 2.2.14 doesn't seem to use kerneld and it found its
modules fine).  I tried compiling a new kernel once before, got fed up
and just got a newer version of Red Hat, so I'm really inexperienced
with this sort of thing.


Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks in advanced
Andrew

Subject: Repairing corrupt partitions?
Date: Mon, 18 Sep 2000 14:41:04 GMT


I've got a problem and I'm not sure how best to solve it.

I recently bought a new hard disk (20 GB), installed W2K on it,
with two NTFS partitions. Then I replaced them with W98, since W2K
isn't really what I needed. And now I want to make a coupe of new
partitions to install Mandrake 7.1 on. Problem is, Mandrake says
my partition table is corrupt, and can only partition my HD from
scratch, which would mean I'd lose all W98 data.
>From a recent discussion here, I got the impression that NT has
a tendency to do strange stuff to partition tables, like making
partitions end in the middle of a cylinder, instead of at the end.
I did get a really old Slackware fdisk to look at my HD, but I
really don't know how to interpret that data.

What I need is something that can repair my partitions, without
destroying the data on those partitions. For example by removing
that half cylinder at the end, or maybe making a partition at
the end of the drive without touching any other partition, copying
everything there, repairing the old partitions, and copying everything
back. That would probably be a lot of work, but probably not more
than reinstalling W98 and everything else I have on there.

Any suggestions?

I have installed RedHat 6.  I have tested the modem by using minicom,

connection to my ISP.  

I have used LinuxConf to create a PPP connection that includes the
modem init string, telephone, PAP authentication set to on, username
and password.  When I attempt to connect, the modem doesn't flinch; it
doesn't go off-hook or show any signs of activity at all.  Serial port
set correctly AFAICT.

To review:  fresh install, want to connect via PPP, no success.

Have I skipped some steps or what?

You could try PartitionMagic. It can (sometimes) repair a damaged
partition-table. It's not for free though. Perhaps parted can be of some
assistance too. I'm not sure whether it can deal with a damaged
partition table, but I'd give it a try. Search freshmeat.net for it.
