I still have some small problems with configuring SO52.
- Configure your fax queue to the following:
- fax_queue=/home/user_id/office52/program/sfax.bin
Which file must I modify to make this changes?
- Configure "Configure Fax Output" to
- lpr -P fax -J(PHONE)
- and click on "PIPE"
I don't know how :-(
Could you help me?

Subject: Install of SoundBlaster 64 AWE
Date: Mon, 25 Sep 2000 16:56:10 +0200
Hello,
Since the last week, i try to install all my hardware under Linux
(Mandrake 7.0 Kernel 2.2.14).
I can't achieve to install my sound blaster. I read the following text :
- The Linux sound HOWTO,
- The SB64 Linux HOWTO,
- /usr/src/linux/Documentation/AWE32
- The Linux kernel HOWTO,
- several kind answers from newsgroups which permit me to compil my
kernel.
To install the SoundBlaster 64 AWE, i do :
1. pnpdump > isapnp.conf and i correct it : this file is at the end of
this message. When i launch :
isapnp /etc/isapnp.conf
the result is :
Board 1 has Identity 16 00 01 41 2e 9d 00 8c 0e: CTL009d Serial No
82222 [checksum 16]
CTL009d/82222[0]{Audio }: Ports 0x220 0x330 0x388; IRQ5
DMA1 DMA5 --- Enabled OK
CTL009d/82222[1]{Game }: Port 0x200; --- Enabled OK
CTL009d/82222[2]{WaveTable }: Ports 0x620 0xA20 0xE20; ---
Enabled OK
2. cd /usr/src/linux
3. make mrproper
4. make menuconfig : for the sound card specifications, i respect the
usr/src/linux/Documentation/AWE32 : But i don't find "General OPL2/OPL3
synthethiser" entry.
5. make dep
6. make clean
7. make bzImage
8. make bzdisk
9. make modules
10. make modules_install
11. make install
12. make /sbin/lilo -v -l
13. reboot
The result : when kde start : no sound (kdeaudio failed to
connect to server)
I launch isapnp /etc/isapnp.conf, the result is the same than before in
this message.
I launch modprobe -a sound, Linux writes nothing.
When i launch :
cat /proc/devices
I see
...
14 sound
...
When i launch :
cat /dev/sndstat
there's no sound card installed
I don't know what i can do. If someone can help me, thanks.
Best regards.

I have finally managed to get Linux Suse 5.2 on to an old 486 I have.
Problem is I messed up lilo setup and can only now boot from floppy.
I have the relevant files on the harddrive, I am having trouble setting
it up though.
When I type lilo I get an error can't find /etc/lilo.conf I presume this
file has not yet been created.
Anyone help me so i can boot from harddrive.
Thankyou

It is one system loader. And the most common one. You could also use
loadlin (mostly for DOS/Linux users), syslinux (good for boot floppies) -
even the Windows NT loader will work fine with linux. But lilo does also
support multiboot.
> anyway, can anyone summarize the steps to install the lilo without

You star linux from a boot disk (a lot will be easier, if you made one
under the installation).
If you do not have a bootdisk, you should find some kind of installation
disk. Start it. run 'linux root=/dev/hdXX' - where /dev/hdXX is your root
device - where you installed liux. Be prepared for a system, that boots
with a lot of warnings...
If you have the bootdisk, you boot the system, install lilo from the cd
(this is distro-dependent. On rpm-based systems, you will do somethin like
rpm -ivh lilo-xxxx.rpm). Then you edit /etc/lilo.conf to match your
system - that is something like:
--- begin lilo.conf
boot = /dev/hda
timeout = 50
prompt
read-only
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
image = /boot/vmlinuz
label = linux
root = /dev/hda1 # Or whatever you root device is.
--- end lilo.conf
Of course you will have to edit it according to your system. If you do not
know your root device, the output of 'mount' will show you something like:
/dev/hda1 on / type ext2 (rw)
Which in this case means, that yor root device is /dev/hda1. Run 'lilo'
and reboot. Now lilo is installed.

I hit the same problem, and I'm working toward recompiling the kernel to
get around it, but I'm looking for other solutions because recompiling
kernel's makes me nervous, and if I do have to do it I would much rather
be able to use the 750 mhz T-bird rather than a backup 133 mhz pentium.
I've dug around in the kernel code and found the code that aborting. It
looks like I should be able to disable the logic that is attempting to
disable to CPUID number by setting a runtime parameter
disable_x86_serial_nr to zero. Specifying "linux disable_x86_serial_nr=0"
on the lilo boot line doesn't work, nor does adding the parameter to the
lilo configuration file. I've never tried to set boot time parameters
before and am wondering if there is something really obvious that I am
missing.
Thanks in advance for any help.
