Is the i815 video disabled in the bios?. Is the AGP slot set as primary
video in the bios? Your error message from the previous post said:

It looks like it isn't detecting your r128 card.

Do you need CPU power? A WWW server isn't exactly CPU-intensive
unless you run lots of server-side scripts, and proper SQL queries
will keep MySQL from blocking too badly.
The things that'll help you the most are memory and disk: the former
for a big cache, the latter for when the cache isn't quite big
enough. You might consider spending your money on a nice fast SCSI
RAID setup and a 512MB stick of RAM instead of a new board and pair of
CPUs.

I've already installed Mandrake 7 and have used it for awhile with no
trouble. I chose the default installation, no intervention, etc. I'm
using IDE disks.
This is probably really simple for the experienced folks here, but
I've not been through this before: I want to install an Adaptec
154X-series host adapter to control a Conner DAT drive and an old
Seagate ST-series SCSI disk. I may want to add a couple more SCSI
devices later.
The adapter POSTs, and I can "see" the three new devices (terminated,
etc.) when using a small "troubleshooting" utility from a DOS floppy,
but my OS doesn't appear to know they are there.
I'm neglecting to do something first, but what is it? Do I need to now
add SCSI support to the kernel, or to load a module? I've never done
this, so where would I find the info I need?
TIA,
Cole

To me this means you didn't get the /etc/hosts.lpd on the server ("TO")
right. You must put the "primary" hostname of the "FROM" machine there -
neither IP address, nor wildcards, nor aliases will work. If you are using
DNS this means you use the FQDN of FROM (from.domain.top). If you are not
using DNS, this means you use the very first hostname for FROM's IP address
as found in TO's /etc/hosts file.

Below is some help that I found online about dual-booting Linux with Win2k.
I am trying to do this myself but daren't have a go in case I mess up my
setup. If someone could recommend a good book to help me with this type of
installation I would be grateful (btw I am a Linux/Redhat newbie).
>From http://www.softwareshelf.com/downloads/newsletter/ntwire092900.txt :
B. HOW DO I DUAL BOOT WINDOWS 2000 AND LINUX FROM NTLOADER?
If you stubbornly insist on using Linux, here is a procedure you can use to
enable a boot to Linux with Win2K NTLoader:
1. Install Win2K as usual onto NTFS, and ensure you have also created the
four Win2K boot/recovery disks.
2. Boot the system with the boot disk that comes with Red Hat Linux 6.2,
then install Linux from the Red Hat CD-ROM.
3. Create your Linux "/" and swap partitions on a spare disk or partitions.
4. When prompted, select "Yes, make a BOOT DISK." You use this disk in step
8 to get into Linux.
5. Linux overwrites the Win2K Master Boot Record (MBR). Boot Win2K using the
four recovery disks, go into Recover, then select Command mode.
6. When prompted, log on as Administrator.
7. Execute the fixboot and fixmbr commands. You can now boot Win2K again as
usual.
8. To boot Linux from NTLoader, insert the Linux boot disk and restart the
system.
9. Log on to Linux as root.
10. Type cd /etc and examine the lilo.conf file. At the beginning of this
file, you will find an entry that shows where the default boot partition is
(e.g., /dev/had).
11. Modify this entry (e.g., using EMACS) so that it points to the disk and
partition you installed Linux to. For example, if you installed Linux to
/dev/hdc1, alter the original entry to reflect the appropriate disk and
partition. In this case, you would change /dev/hda to /dev/hdc1. (If you
don't remember where you installed Linux to, the last entry in lilo.conf
will have an "image" entry that specifies the root disk/partition.
12. Now execute LILO to write out the boot entry to /dev/hdc1 (type the
command LILO without arguments). You should see a warning about this
disk/partition not being on the first disk. Ignore it; we're happy that it's
not stomping on the Win2K MBR!
13. You need to copy this boot sector to your Win2K partition so that
boot.ini can reference it for your Linux entry. While you are still in
Linux, use dd to raw copy the boot sector to an appropriate file.
# cd
# dd if=/dev/hdc1 bs=512 count=1 of=bootsect.lnx
14. Now use mcopy to copy this file to a DOS disk.
# mcopy bootsect.lnx a:
15. You can now shut down Linux.
# shutdown -h now
16. Boot into Win2K.
17. Copy bootsect.lnx onto C: (and make it read-only).
18. Add to your boot.ini a Linux entry--for example
C:\bootsect.lnx="Linux"
When you reboot, if you select Linux, you will see a LILO: prompt for a few
seconds, then the system will boot into Linux (press Enter if you don't want
to wait, and the system will boot into Linux instantly).

Check out autofs and related docs for the cd devices. I'm finding that
I can access the cd for data but not music, but I'll get there.
Did you put yourself into group audio? That's the group for /dev/dsp,
which is connected to your soundcard.
I had great luck with apsfilter - check for it through dselect. It's a
pretty user-friendly configuration tool.
You'll love Debian once you get used to it. Good luck. G.

How do I disable i815 in the bios? I didn't see any option for that. It only
has something with Primary Device [AGP]
being detected, the other option being pci.
Also, from X -probeonly:
(--) PCI:*(1:0:0) ATI Rage 128 Pro PF rev 0, Mem @ 0xf0000000/26,
0xff8fc000/14, I/O @ 0xc800/8

(II) Loading /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/input/mouse_drv.o
(II) Module mouse: vendor="The XFree86 Project"
compiled for 4.0.1a, module version = 1.0.0
(II) r128: Driver for ATI Rage 128 chipset: ATI Rage 128 RE (PCI),
ATI Rage 128 RF (AGP), ATI Rage 128 RK (PCI), ATI Rage 128 RL (AGP),
ATI Rage 128 Pro PF (AGP), ATI Rage 128 Mobility LE (PCI),
ATI Rage 128 Mobility LF (AGP), ATI Rage 128 Mobility MF (AGP),
ATI Rage 128 Mobility ML (AGP)
(--) Assigning device section with no busID to primary device
(--) Chipset ATI Rage 128 Pro PF (AGP) found
...
(--) r128(0): Chipset: "ATI Rage 128 Pro PF (AGP)" (ChipID = 0x5046)
(--) r128(0): Linear framebuffer at 0xf0000000
(--) r128(0): MMIO registers at 0xff8fc000
(--) r128(0): BIOS at 0xff8c0000
(--) r128(0): VideoRAM: 16384 kByte (64-bit SDR SGRAM 1:1)
So I guess the AGP card is seen, afterall. I believe this is r128_drv.o
reporting this, which is found in /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers. There is
also a kernel part /lib/modules/2.4.0/kernel/drivers/char/drm/r128.o, which is
the one that I can't install (as well as agpgart.o).
On my other computer (ati xpert 98, mach64) lsmod says:
agpgart 18608 0 (unused)
This is beginning to stink.

Beware the i840 chipset, it has a broken IO-APIC (with it disabled
responsiveness is badly hurt). Most anything else runs nicely. Lately I
have considered the ServerWorks chipsets the choice if you need 64-bit
PCI; otherwise, there are a lot of good boards out there (BX chipset has
been quite solid for a long time). FYI, a valid reason for SMP is to
maintain responsiveness under load; this can be a problem for web
servers, and SMP does help there. Often a concern is hard drive access
speed, since multiple persons may be reading web pages at nearly the
same time. In which case you should definitely consider SCSI, especially
ultra-160.

Where do programs like EZ-BIOS and MaxBlast reside on a hard disk? Is it in
the master boot record, as part of the master boot code? Or, does it reside
in the volume boot code of the active partition?
Anybody know of a site that describes how these programs work (I've already
visited Maxtor's customer support web site, which gives some superficial
info .. I'm curious how these things really work, beyond the basics)
In particular, I'd like to understand how I can make an old drive that uses
EZ-BIOS as a secondary drive in linux. Am I faced with having to backup,
re-partition, re-format and restore the disk? Or, can I get away with
something simpler, like just replacing the MBR? (wishful thinking)

to install it on the 5gig and use a dual boot setup. I want to keep my C:
drive entirely windows based and have nothing on it that has to do with the

ONLY when i have a boot disk in? I want my machine to go to windows when
there is no disk. I looked through some of the other posts but none of the
questions were exactly what i was looking for.
#2) if i were to install mandrake7.2 on a system that had only a single hard

Subject: Re: Linux & Windows installation
Regarding how to setup the partitions:
If you had a 13 gig hard drive, figure out how much space you'll need, of
course. With FAT16 you're limited to a 2.0 gig maximum partition size so
that's your first partition right there: FDisk, choose "No" to enable large
drive support, create the 2 gig partition, set it active, exit FDisk, and
reboot. Then install Win98.
Next, start the Win2000 install. Depending upon what you want to do with
Windows 2000, I wouldn't go any less than another 2 gigs for NTFS as your
second partition. You can certainly go 5 gigs or 8 gigs if you think you'll
need it. Windows programs take up alot of space. Personally I'd probably
go with 6 gigs here. Then give another 3 or 4 gigs to linux which will
leave you with a couple of gigs for future use if you need to expand
something.

the installation
source (i.e. CDROM or Hard Drive -- I'm installing off ot the hard drive), I
point it to /dev/hda1
which is where the source files are, give it the proper path, it mounts the
drive and then it
attempts to mount the RAM disk after which it returns saying, "Error loading
RAMdisk"
followed by, "/dev/hda1 doesn't appear to contain in installation tree" -- which
is incorrect.
Since the FAT16 partition (hda1) is 2 gigs and the redhat install files on FAT16
are less than
650 megs, there's plenty of space on the drive for the mount, but I don't
install RH often
enough to remember the workaround.
The option to disable the RAMdisk usage feature during install is what I'm
looking for, but I
can't remember the syntax or where it is entered -- it's something ..._Ramdisk=0
or ...load_Ramdisk=0 or something. Any chance either of you know it or have
any other ideas which
would work?
Thanks!
RAM I can get under $39 per 128M so I'm satisfied there.

Hi ! Peter, thanks so much.
i will follow your good sugestions to reinstall RH6.1 again, and let you
know what the result could turn out to be. i hope it will work.
ikikikik means nothing, actually it is a string of 'dot or period', i
do not know why it became ikikikik.
Thanks again.

It sounds like you know what your doing so here's the URL
