I have the same problem with my SuSE 6.3 on a Dell 4100. It is a real
pain. I don't have it resolved yet.
My research so far from the Nvidia site ( http://www.nvidia.com/ ) suggest
that I need to install XFree86 version 4.0 and get the new Nvidia drivers.
Though XFree86 4.0.1 is available the drivers don't work with it yet
according to them. I've only been able to find XFree86 4.0.1 on the SuSE
site. Other issues have kept me from working on this chalenge so I am
interested to see how it develops for you.
Hope these tid-bits help some.

I don't get any error messages. When I try to ping "128.174.58.5" from my
client's computers, I get "Request Timed Out". (this happens to be a
DNS server at the U of I). Likewise, webpages won't load from the client
computers.
I setup DHCP for my local network, but am not using it. I've assigned
all IP's myself, so that there would be less chance of error. I've given
each computer the same DNS entries (the entries my ISP told me to use).
I'm confident that this part is right.
The gateway to the external world is ATT@home, and they "officially" use
DHCP. But, when they came to setup the network the first time, they setup
the addresses statically. I've heard reports of ATT coming back months
later and changing the configuration to DHCP, in case they change their minds.
In any case, this is working fine too. I can browse the web from my server,
so the external connection is fine.

Subject: [lilo] please critique this lilo.conf
Date: Wed, 18 Oct 2000 14:58:08 GMT
I have had my redhat61 lilo boot sector installed on /dev/hda4
and I want to now to be able also to boot redhat7, which
I have installed on /dev/hdc2.
The following lilo.conf was intended to allow me to do that
but it does not work.
redhat61 boots as before but if I select redhat7,
the boot process messes up when it tries to compute
module dependencies, at which time it goes looking
for the redhat61 modules directory (/lib/modules/2.2.16-3) --
which it does not find -- instead of looking for the redhat7 modules
directory (/lib/modules/2.2.16-22).
Can anyone tell me why this is happening?
redhat7 boots fine from floppy.
As the comments below indicate, one thing I do
not understand is all these references to a /boot
directory.
The /boot in
install=/boot/boot.b
line would appear to refer to the "compile-time"
/boot directory -- i.e., the /boot directory
of the filesystem mounted on / at the time /sbin/lilo
was run.
I simply assumed that the /boot in the two
initrd=/boot/initrd
lines referred to the respective "execution-time"
/boot directories -- i.e., the /boot directory
of the filesystem that would be mounted on /
in the course of the boot process.

I live in the metropolitan kansas city area. Road runner was just
installed in my home. By doing /sbin/dhcpcd I get connected to the cable
modem. However in order to access roadrunner services I have to log in.
I have rrconf and rrlogind installed. Rrconf requires a username and
password which I can supply. It also requests the roadrunner login
server and that has me stumped. When I do /sbin/rrlogind I get:
rrlogind v2.35 started.

Whe I do /sbin/hdcpdc the message in /var/log/messages is:

Subject: Help with printing -canon bjc8200
Date: Wed, 18 Oct 2000 11:28:56 -0400
I've got a canon bjc 8200 and have tried to print using distributions:
caldera, mandrake , corel, peanut, debian and redhat. Of these, only
corel let me print as it was installed (so it IS doable) using one of
the older canon printer drivers.
Currently trying Redhat: have installed printer, done the parport
thing (alias parport_lowlevel=parport_pc in etc/modules.conf). When I
try an ls> /dev/lp0 or cat file> /dev/lp0, there is NO response from
printer. I checked the bios for EPP. lp0 is the printer (not lp1 or
lp2).
grep parport/proc/ioports gives parport0 at 0378.
Anyone got any ideas what I need to do to print?
All suggestions gratefully received.

In order to give you any kind of help, more info is needed. List the make
and model of each piece of hardware you're running. Just so you know,
I've seen issues like this before, and one time it turned out to be that
the cdrom was recognized after I replaced the motherboard battery
(strange).

We are going to be upgrading out internet server here in a few weeks and I have
some questions.
Right now we are running a RedHAT 5.2 linux server acting as a NAT, Firewall,
DNS Server, SMTP server, FTP Server and Web server. We have two NT servers
behind the NAT serving about 50 workstations.
I would like to purchase a new machine for our internet server. I want to split
the duties of the Internet server in two seperate machines, keeping the DNS on
the RedHAT 5.2 box but putting it behind the NAT. The new machine will act as
NAT, Firewall, SMTP (To push email to our Exchange server behind the NAT), FTP
and WEB. I am considering a PII 333 with a Tyan Motherboard, 128meg of ram,
10gig of harddrive.
Should I stick with RedHAT 6.2, go to RedHAT 7.0 or us a different distribution?
Will 10gig be enough space to push SMTP mail for 20 or so users to our Exchange
server?
Will 128meg of RAM be sufficient for this setup?
Will RedHAT 5.2 (kernel 2.0.38) be ok for internal DNS and DNS caching if it is
behind the Firewall and NAT?

Not sure about ESS 1968. Are you sure is not 1868, 1938 or 1978?
I had the following sound chips in some computer working at least once.
