Does anyone have a way to use a recent HP vectra computer that uses the
integrated motherboard video card that uses the "Intel Integrated 815
AGP" chipset? I also have another one that uses an 810.
Any assistance cheerfully accepted.
Thanks

The NEC 870 is compatible with the HP LaserJet 2P. I've had it working when
configured with the ljet2p driver. (Unfortunately, I "broke" my working
installation when I upgraded to SuSE 7.0 -- and overconfidently failed to
back up my /etc/ files. Lessons learned!! But some things have changed,
e.g., the parport module.) Good luck!

Subject: PCMCIA CompactFlash Questions
Date: Fri, 03 Nov 2000 01:43:24 GMT
I'm using RedHat 6.0, Linux 2.2
I'm trying to use a CompactFlash PCMCIA Card. When I insert the card, I
get the following messages:
hde: Hitachi ATA 6.0, ATA DISK drive
ide2 at 0x110-0x117, 0x11e on irq5
hde: unknown partition table
hde: unknown partition table
hde: drive_cmd: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
hde: drive_cmd: error=0x04 { DriveStatusError }
At this point I can monunt it and use it. By the way, I get very
similar messages when I insert a Sony MemoryStick with a PCMCIA adapter.
When I remove the card without unmounting it first, I get the following
message:
ide2: unexpected interrupt, status=0xff, count=5
I have two questions:
1. How can I prevent all these messages from displaying (or better yet,
how do I take care of the problems causing these error messages)?
2. How can I automatically mount and unmount the card upon
insertion/ejection?
Thank you!

I have setup a dial-up ppp server. Everything's fine. And my friends
are very eager to dial-up to my server. But some users dial-up too long
and prevented others from dialing in. How can I set a quota for each

Date: Fri, 03 Nov 2000 02:55:12 GMT
This seems to be a common topic here and the answer I need may have been
posted so in the name of redundancy here I go.
I recently installed SuSE 6.4 and as per the directions for SB Live!
cards I installed the emu10k1 package. This didn't seem to have any
effect: I didn't get any sound, and I still don't. It seems that my
card is recognized. Here's the output of the dmesg command:
[...snip...]

Creative SBLive! detected
and here's part of the output from the lspci command that seems
relevant:

But, pnpdump basically gives me the following:

I'm sure I'm missing something here. Any help would be appriciated.
Well, back to reading those HOWTOs! Thanks.

I've run into that a few times on my RH 6.1 system. After double checking that
the higher number really is newer, I use the switches in rpm to shut up
complaining and install it (--force).

Subject: Help... Mandrake 7.2 Fubar...
Date: Thu, 2 Nov 2000 21:13:17 -0600
Hi... I just installed, (or attempted to, anyway), Mandrake 7.2 on my
system. I have Windows 2000 Professional loaded, and was going to make a
dual-boot til I could get a dedicated Linux box up and running.
In any case, at the point where I was selecting the packages to be
installed, it finally crapped out and said that it was having problems
reading /rpm ... (Brainiac me, didn't write the exact error message).
Anyway, after it kept doing this, I attempt to remove the CD rom from the
drive, and alas, the drive won't open. So, I turn off the machine. turn it
back on, attempt to reinstall using expert again. No such luck - it can't
get the ramdrive going. So, I reboot again, and attempt to rescue. It
gives me a kernel panic error.
Any ideas? Thanks...

I am not sure it this is the right place to post this. A few days ago
I installed Red Hat 7 on my old pentium 120 box I have a P 120 installed
on a ASUS PX5, socket 7 board. I had two sticks of 8 MB each in the
two SIMM slots. Today I added one stick of 64 Megs P-66 DIMM. In all
I have 80 Megs of RAM installed. When I boot up the POST rolls through
32 megs of RAM 3 times in succession. The boot of Linux goes normally
and when I run top in a terminal window it shows just under 31 megs of
RAM.
Can someone tell me what is going on and how to get all of my 80 Megs of
RAM on line. Thanks for your help.

Nothing in /var/log/messages.
I tried nuking ~/.Xauthority. No help.
I tried "xhost +localhost" and "xhost +". No help.

Subject: Linux on Thinkpad
Date: Fri, 03 Nov 2000 04:01:51 GMT
I am trying to install Linux on my thinkpad 500. I am able to get the
installation going with the boot and root disks. Since I don't have a
CDROM, I am installing the 'a' series disks from floppy. During setup,
when it accesses the floppy, it fails with
floppy0: unexpected interrupt
floppy0: sensei repl[0]=c1 repl[1]=0
...
I am unable to even mount the floppy. It continually repeats that error
message and dies. I don't think there is anything wrong with the floppy
drive itself, otherwise I won't be able to boot from floppy (which I am
able to do just fine). This is the TinyLinux distribution.
Any help is appreciated.

Basically, you need to have kernel module ip_masq_ftp.o insmod'ed. If you
don't have it in your /lib/modules/kernelversion/ipv4/ directory, then
you'll need to select the 'ip masquerading support' modules in your kernel
config, and do a make modules, make modules_install to get them into place.
