I have a similar system, and can't reproduce your problem.
Motherboard and RAM are the same, processor is a T'bird 1GHz, drive is
a Maxtor 54098U8 40GB ATA/66 on the VIA controller. I've updated to
2.4.2, and compiled bonnie++. It works.
The difference seems to be ATA/100 vs ATA/66. Try forcing UDMA mode4?

Subject: IRQ Problem
Date: Tue, 06 Mar 2001 16:20:22 GMT
I have some problems with my installation.
1. I can't make my TV-Card works. It's a MiroPCTV.
I have this error at startup :
bttv0: Brooktree Bt848 (rev 18) bus: 0, devfn: 72, irq: 9, memory: 0xe2000000.
bttv0: IRQ 9 busy, change your PnP config in BIOS
2. I try to configure my USB Printer (HP950C).
I have this other error at startup :
usb-uhci.c: USB UHCI at I/O 0xd400, IRQ 9
usb-uhci.c: Detected 2 ports
usb.c: new USB bus registered, assigned bus number 1
usb-uhci.c: request_irq 9 failed!
What can I do ?
I seems to have problems with my IRQs ports......
Thanks.

You can unmount home. "man umount". This will require that no one is
using it at the time. You can also simply edit /etc/fstab and reboot.
There is a field there for mount options.

No, real modems PCI DO exist! I,m using one of them this very moment. An
USR 56K PCI (don't remember the model number). But all I had to do is
install setserial and feed it with irq, I/O and an auto detect - for the
UART. Works like a charm...

you should try Mandrake Linux, the install is by far the easiest of the

installkernel 2.4.2 arch/i386/boot/bzImage System.map
installkernel will move that vmlinuz file around for you so you don't

I always use the easiest option, open the case, unplug the wire leading

Those files were in the 6.x archive. I tried renaming to lowercase and
compiling, but the compile did not compile cleanly, so I wemt back to
the website and snagged the 7.x drivers

That is what was in the 7.0 archive when I extracted them. I renamed
makefile.dat to makefile then ran make, and all was ok, modules
installed correctly. Note My installation is Mandrake 7.2, so YMMV.

How do I change my syslogd startup options? I want to enable "syslogd

I checked two Unix/Linux books I have and the info under syslogd

I found a SCSI card in a drawer last night, so I threw CD-ROM drive into an
external case I had lying around and plugged that into the SCSI card. It
works in DOS, but so far I haven't found a boot disk which detects the card
(Adaptec 1510 or 1520).

What I was originally thinking of doing was running an FTP server on my
other machine and use that as the installation server, if that's possible.
Maybe if I get the CD-ROM working that won't be necessary.
I'm also DLing the Mandrake 7.1 ISO right now. I'm not sure if that's a
good choice. I'll also want to install it on my fast machine once I figure
out what I need to do to be able to boot to Win2k (on NTFS) and Linux.
Right now I'm using BootMagic, but I think it needs a FAT primary partition
somewhere to reside on. The last time I installed Linux on an x86 was
around '92 or so. I'm a bit rusty.
Thanks for your help.

Look into /etc/php.ini and remove ";" as believe

Good luck.
