Oh...
I'm having a simular problem.
After applying the udma patch to kernel 2.2.14 the network
module was not autoloaded anymore. If I tried to insmod it
manually, I got some error messages about incompatible
symbols and the module refused to load.
In my case the network card is a NE2000 pci with a realtec
chip. Linux distribution is SuSE 6.4. MOBO ASUS P5A.
I ended up with recompiling the kernel with network card
support within the kernel, which strangely worked.
This seems to be a known issue with kernel 2.2.14 and the udma
patch. But oviously not documented.

I've found the following two programs very easy to use:
http://www.ssh.com/index.html Is the SecureShell client for your Windoze box
http://www.starnet.com/products/ Is a X-windows client for windoze box.
It is very simple to set these up and forward X-windows packets over the
secure link. They are both free for individual non business use so use your
good judgment. You should also be able to use the SecureShell client with
your Exceed, just make sure that you start exceed first then start your
shell. I know that exceed should also have it's own built in xterm client
just not sure on how to set it up.

No valuable data there just yet. Duh! I was using lowercase x's, no
wonder it puked. Anyway I tried -X65 thru -X69 and to a fault, they
were all slower than the powerdown reset readings, which range from
27-29m/s. X65 dropped it to 16/s, 66 took it back to about 19/s, 67
checks at about 21-22, 68 seemed pretty consistent at 27.9/s, and 69
dropped back to 27.5/s. Odd, I'd think one of them would have pretty
well hit the 50m/s it reads from the drives cache...

That was the impression I got, that the driver had simply shut the IRQ's

That pretty well sums it up. I thought I'd see if I could get /usr

Hi All,
I know several recent postings about getting an ATAPI CDR and Iomega ZIP
drive working by using SCSI emulation of the CDR, and then forcing
the boot time option at the lilo prompt: hdc=ide-scsi.
To mount the ZIP drive, #mount -t vfat /dev/sda4 /mnt/iomega
BUT I don't have a valid block device, /dev/sda...is this because I
turned OFF SCSI disk/tape support in the kernel config?
Any help is greatly appreciated (before I haphazardly start recompiling
my kernel with different options!)

Subject: problem with pnp modem (caldera)
Date: Thu, 25 Jan 2001 04:51:00 GMT
My first linux system installed 2 weeks ago @ ancient P166/64MB.
Caldera Open Linux 2.4 - works great.
Except the modem
Looks like I have 2 pnp cards (working fine under NT & w2k).
MOT1560 (see below) is Motorola 28.8 modem; another is sb16 pnp (temp. not
in use under linux until other things work). 2 com ports are ok and
setserial shows settings right (as in mainboard setup and as they should
be). Modem should use 2e8/int5 but setserial shows int 4 & uart unknown.
when system boots the pnp section is "skipped" (could i enable it? how?)
I did pnpdump, uncommented what seemed right (2e8/int5) and run isapnp -
results as below: it says 2e8 is in use. I don't have /etc/isapnp.conf,
/etc/isapnp.gone files, or any idea how anything could use 2e8... for more

Mandrake 7 installed 'postfix' by default and I could not seem to get that
to work even with a real hostname. Everything just piled up in the queue.
But I think it was trying to use DNS instead of gethostbyname and DNS and
didn't like that my IP differed between the 2 (static ppp IP in DNS and
127.0.0.2 in /etc/hosts so other things would work online and offline).
With the same setup, 'sendmail' sends and receives fine with its defaults
(no configuration required).
Since that worked, I haven't tried 'qmail'.

I have a USR 56k modem in one of my systems and had to edit the
isapnp.conf file to get it to work properly. You can have only one of
the IRQ lines uncommented at a time and don't need to uncomment the "IO"
line for the same IRQ setting.

When I setup a zip in one of my systems I found it easier to use fdisk
and delete the vfat or msdos partitions on it and then making linux
partitions with the ext2 file system. On my system it uses /dev/hdd
since it is an ATAPI drive without SCSI emulation configured.

Hi Everyone.
I've been trying to install modem but "forget about it". I just buy external
modem. Right now my concern are about sound card. How do I use Modconf, or
put it more accurately how do I configure my sound card using modconf.
I did following thing and getting, and it saying "invalid parameter irq"
why?
1. Open a console window by clicking on the console button on the
taskbar.
2. At the prompt, type modconf and press enter.
3. Maximize the window by clicking once on the small square in the
upper-right corner.
4. Using the keyboard arrow keys, scroll down, select misc and press
enter.
5. Locate the sound card in the list and press enter.
6. On the next screen, select Install the module in the kernel.
7. Now supply the necessary IO address and IRQ. Type "irq=5 io=0x220

EtherExpress Pro/10 ISA NIC's (PnP), only 1 setup for install purposes.
Everything seems to work fine during the install of RH6.0, via FTP from an

it stops at the last line below everytime ...

old real quick! The kernel says it's installing bug fixes for the UMC
chipset above what I have typed in from dmesg, could that be causing it?
Block-major-8 doesn't sound like IDE, and since both channels are disabled

Do you have a file called 'hello' and another one called 'world'? I think
you mean: echo "hello world" > /dev/lp0
However, that would only work for a real printer that can print ASCII
text. When I saw the name Lexmark below, I cringed. Lexmark still has no
Linux support for my 5700, but does list models for networking and Unix
systems now.
Hm, I wonder if that driver would work for my 5700 which is also 1200x1200
dpi and uses the same 12A1990 Photo cartridge (black and color cartridges
have different part#). I have downloaded the z32 driver and will let you
know if I can get it to work on an obsolete printer that hopefully uses
the same protocol.

The irq is not normally used for Linux printing anyway. It uses polled
mode unless you specify the port and irq as options for the lp module and
use 'tunelp' to enable it.

Rather than just disabling it in Netscape, why not disable it for the
whole machine? If you are running a local caching nameserver on the
box in question, you can simply add the domain in question to the
named.conf
zone "advertising.com"{
type master;
file "named.local";
};
Now when you go to access that site, you'll just get an error message
that the site cannot be found! Quick and dirty trick, but effective.

If you're installing linux on a second hard drive, you shouldn't have
any problem with linux upsetting windows. If you are really cautious,
you can always physically disconnect the windows drive before
installing linux on your other drive. (RH's 5.1 distribution had an
option during server installation that erased ALL hard drives to
prepare for linux installation. Of course, you had to select it, but
accidents can happen.) Once you have linux installed on its separate
disk, put the LILO bootloader on the linux disk so that you can dual
boot between linux and windows without making any physical changes to
your windows disk. Then, you're ready to go.

I use RH7 with ipfwadm firewall, squid, and netatalk over a 56k modem
gateway.
Sometimes my link freezes to my isp and packets are sent with no
response. When I restart the modem it works again.
My pppd is in my inittab file so it is always on.
Is there a way to automatically check for timeout on sent packets for a
froze connection so the link can be restarted?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
I am running Red Hat Linux 7.0 with VA Linux Enhancements...
I cannot start x in non-superuser mode.
Below is the error message I receive upon attempting to do so ("startx")
=====================================
Fatal server error:
xf86OpenConsole: Server must be running with root permissions
You should be running Xwrapper to start the server or xdm
We strongly advise against making the SUID root!
When reporting the problem related to a server crash, please send the
full server output, not just the last messages
X connection to :0.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown).
==========================================
What appears to be the problem?
I am using the "Xonfigurator" utility.
