There are two versions of SuSE Linux 7.1 available. The first one is called
"Personal Edition", which indeed does not have the features you were
talking about above. Personal Edition comes on three CDs. However, then
there is the Professional Edition, which comes on 7 CDs and should have all
the features you were talking about above.

Subject: aic7xxx is broken in Slackware 7.1
Date: Sun, 25 Mar 2001 12:28:40 GMT
The aic7xxx driver shipped with Slackware 7.1 (object file dated 6-20-2000
- 153,576 bytes) is broken, at least for the Adaptec 2842VL.
It dies with a BRKADRINT error after showing the first attached device.
The driver shipped with Slackware 7.0 (dated 10-21-1999 - 126,964 bytes)
works fine.
Anyone know where updates to this driver are available?

Point well taken.
I have checked the site and don't know where to look for the mini distros.
Can you provide me with a pointer?

if you want emailed help join a mailing list
i think that debain and slackware have a floopy bassed option
to install from
or if you have a pcmcia nic you can get
one of the mini distros on freshmeat.net
and boot from that and then network to a comp with
a larger distro on the harddrive and install from there.

Problem: Xsane hangs.
SETUP: SuSE 7.1, 800MHz AMD 750Mb.
When I run the ISA config, I get the following problems:
/sbin/isapnp /etc/isapnp.conf
Board 1 has Identity 3b 8a 7b e0 4d 05 15 90 04: ADP1505 Serial No

I can install my AHA152x moduls without errors.
insmod aha152x aha152x=0x140,9,7,0
Using /lib/modules/2.4.0-4GB/kernel/drivers/scsi/aha152x.o
After this I can see my Scanner with scanimage:
scanlist --list-devices
bash: scanlist: command not found
root@linux:/var/log > scanimage --list-devices
device `snapscan:/dev/scanner' is a AGFA SNAPSCAN 1236 flatbed scanner
device `snapscan:/dev/sg1' is a AGFA SNAPSCAN 1236 flatbed scanner
And I can see my SCSI's in /proc:
cat /proc/scsi/scsi
Attached devices:

Vendor: HP Model: CD-Writer+ 9200 Rev: 1.0e

Host: scsi1 Channel: 00 Id: 02 Lun: 00
Vendor: AGFA Model: SNAPSCAN 1236 Rev: 1.50
Type: Scanner ANSI SCSI revision: 02
When I run Xsane, it hangs. I suspect that I may need a SCSI terminator
on the
scanner, but in the documentation it does not mention that you have to
purchase
one.
Has anyone got any ideas?
Thanks

Put some ramdisk in. You can't free a ramdisk until there is one!
> thanks.
Somehow I think you don't understand what you are doing! Why are you
trying to free a ramdisk when you don't have (that) one??? Maybe
you meant to free some other ramdisk? Or did you think that you had
configured one when in fact you haven't?
Or have you misconstrued the sentence you quoted? It's saying that
there isn't a ramdisk. I.e. The device has not yet been initialized, or
configured (to size, blksize, etc.) by the driver. It isn't yet at
the stage of having RUN, in colloquial terms.

Subject: I really f@#$%&d up!
Date: Sun, 25 Mar 2001 15:02:06 GMT
Somehow I managed to hose my kernel (2.2.17-14). I could not get 2 eepro100
to initialize. I then stupidly tried to reinstall 2.2.17-14 rpm with force.
Then I got kernel panic error message. I had the original boot disk I made
during the RH 7 install. I was able to boot machine with this disk
(2.2.16-7). Now the only way I can boot the machine is with the boot disk. I
do have a tape backup of machine 12 hrs. prior to the hosing. The problem I
have now is what files do I restore from the backup and what files need to
be edited to get this machine back in order. TIA

I have a linksys lne100tx nic (having given up on the netgear fa311 :)
RH 6.1
The instructions for installation supplied with this are as follows
(having downloaded the files)
Step 2 : Compile the source code by using
gcc -DMODULE -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux/net/inet
-Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O6 -c tulip.c
'[ -f /usr/include/linux/modversions.h ] && echo
-DMODVERSIONS`
OK, so I have limited (read zero) kernel building skills - I have
tried this and there is an error message to the effect that the
directory
'[ -f /usr/include/linux/modversions.h ] && echo
-DMODVERSIONS'
is not known, I assume therefore I am supposed to change this to
something machine specific - but how do I work out what?

This works for me. Don't be fooled the $IPCHAINS variable, it points to
IPTABLES. You may need to customize this some before using on you system,
particularly the value of $INTERNALNET and $LOCALIF.
This script was orignally generated for me for ipchains, but I manually updated
it for iptables.
It allows me to surf, play Quake, use AIM, etc from my LAN workstations or my
Linux firewall/server.
