Can't help with xmms, but the problem does not lie with the es1371 driver
in the kernel, whether compiled in or loaded as a module. I had the same
problem when I was using the on-board via686a sound chip WRT KDE. Just
wait a few seconds and KDE releases the audio device. BTW, I use a 2.4.4
kernel on one machine and a 2.2.19 on another. Problem exists on both.
Perhaps if you try using Gnome??? Not me, I detest Gnome.
If you question what kind of sound card you have, the best place to
determine that is the big chip on the card. It will be marked with
something like ES1373 as on my card.

I have installed and update SuSE 7.1 on my system. It is coonected through
a SDSL line with a static IP address. I have tried to start SuSE firewall
but when I enable it in Control Center/ Yast2/ rc.config and restart I get
messages saying it failed to start. It gives messages for part 1, 2 and 3
???
I have also created a script with a firewall tool online but I don't know
what to do with it. Can anyone help ???

Mark,
Here's what you need:
IP=$(/sbin/iconfig | /bin/grep P-t-P | /usr/bin/cut -c 21-38 | /bin/awk
'{print $1}' );
Then, just reference $IP in your ipchains script as your IP-address.
I didn't figure out this code, but I found it and am glad to share.

Subject: Broadcast window on Gnome desktop - How?
Date: Sun, 27 May 2001 02:52:56 GMT
My Belkin UPS S/W (Sentry Bulldog) sends a broadcast message from root in
the event of line power failure and immanent shutdown. The broadcast
message appears in the text console window, and also in an Xterm when
running under Gnome. However the message does not appear under Gnome when
there is no open Xterm, e.g., when only a browser or news reader (or
nothing) is open.
What do I need to do to have a pop-up window appear on the Gnome desktop
when the broadcast is sent?
Following is the section of /etc/inittab which appears to control this.
(Or should I be looking elsewhere?)
<snip>
# Things to run in every runlevel.
ud::once:/sbin/update
# Trap CTRL-ALT-DELETE
ca::ctrlaltdel:/sbin/shutdown -t3 -r now
# When our UPS tells us power has failed, assume we have a few minutes
# of power left. Schedule a shutdown for 2 minutes from now.
# This does,of course, assume you have powerd installed and your
# UPS connected and working correctly.
pf::powerfail:/sbin/shutdown -f -h +2 "Power Failure; System Shutting
Down"
# If power was restored before the shutdown kicked in, cancel it.

It turns out that Apache was working all along. The problem was that @Home was
blocking web access to my server from other @Home users. When tried access from a
dial-up account everything worked just fine!

Reply-To: this newsgroup....

REQ: Help mounting SCSI drive
I've got Linux RedHat v 7.1 on two burned CDs. The system is an AMD
K6-500, with a CDROM, floppy, an IDE hard drive (set up with the
RedHat), and a SCSI drive on an adapter. BIOS finds the SCSI adapter,
and the adapter finds Device 0, the drive. Now the only issue is that
the SCSI drive is in Xenix.
I'm the newest kid on the block, and I'm learning all the terminal
commands and my way around Gnome. When I try to mount the SCSI, I
can't get it done. First, I had to reboot a couple times until I saw
that Linux was naming the SCSI drive as /dev/sda (I think!). I tried
this mount command:
mount -t xenix /dev/sda /mnt/SCSI
I had added the SCSI directory, and I had read that the 7.1 kernel
understood Xenix with no problems. I also tried this:
mount -t sysv /dev/sda /mnt/SCSI
Both give me the same result message:
"wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda,
or too many mounted file systems"
So here's what I need to know:
- what do I need to do to mount this drive
- if I need to rebuild the kernel, how do I do that or where's a URL
that explains this
- is there any way to log the startup sequence, so I can read over it
and see what devices are being identified?
Thanks!

Only the very recent kernels such as the ones on RH7.0 will run on Pentium
4.
I remember an old news story that all the other distro except for RH7.0
could not run on Pentium 4 when the Pentium 4 was first released.
You can patch up RH6.2 to the most current kernel.
