Re: 7200 RPM udma33 same speed as 5400 PIO mode 4
just because the drive has higher rpms does not mean its faster, drive
technology (esp data density) has a major impact on performance, if the
5400rpm drive can store more data in less physical area it will perform
faster then the 7200rpm. ive seen benchmarks that showed more modern 5400
drives outrunning the first couple generations of ibm 7200rpm drives. i
dont know how old your drives are but figure it'd be worth pointing out.

look your modem(s) up on this page: http://www.o2.net/~gromitkc/2207b.html confirm they are not winmodems, chances are if you paid less then $90 US. it is a winmodem. anyways if it is not, i think it would be easiest to contact tech support from the company that makes it and ask em how to get the modem working in dos MODE. if it works in dos mode it works in linux, pretty much gauranteed. if it needs some special driver/program you can load it in dos mode then boot linux iwth loadlin. nate On 10 Feb 2000, gou.dedalus wrote: dedalu >Hi, dedalu > dedalu >I and my friend have a problem with Linux.

Re: Unstable kernel question
2.2.14 should work with the athlon, what cpu arch are you telling the config program you have? you probably need to tell it Pentium (unless there is an athlon option). from what i saw 2.3.x didn't have all the athlon patches from 2.2 yet but it was on alan cox's to-do list. if the kernel doesn't detect the chipset that is not unusual it just can't optimize for the chipset, standard drivers would work. also check the compiler you are using (gcc -v) it is reccomended to use 2.7.2.3 when compiling a kernel, although there is some reports of success with egcs 1.1 and very few success reports using egcs 2.95. nate On Tue, 8 Feb 2000, [iso-8859-1] Jos?

Re: Reporting RAM
make sure you got the line right i believe it is: append="mem=128M" been a while since i used it though, the easiest way to see free ram is to type 'free' or cat /proc/meminfo or use top or use dmesg and search for the amount of ram it detects: Memory: 127948k/131008k available (1068k kernel code, 412k reserved, 1536k data, 44k init) its probably best to leave 1MB free when using the append option for most boards, so tell linux u got 127MB instead of 128 sometimes allocating every last bit of ram can cause problems(sometimes minor sometimes major). nate On Mon, 7 Feb 2000, Lane Lester wrote: lleste >What command will tell me how much RAM Debian Linux thinks I have? lleste > lleste >My BIOS, Win NT, and Win 98 all know I have 128M, but Corel Linux lleste >thinks I have only 64M.

if gets to the point where nothing else works, you can always use loadlin, boot linux from dos mode. just need a copy of the kernel on a dos accessable partition, and loadin.exe then its easy to make a batch file for each distribution. or you can search the www to see how to add linux to nt's boot menu, its a *little* more complicated involves copying the boot info from linux to a file.. for your situation though, with that ezdrive software(curse it silently) i'd probably go with loadlin if i was in your position. if you use loadlin though make sure to do it from dos mode(safe dos mode) to avoid any drivers/etc loading before. nate On Sat, 5 Feb 2000, Lane Lester wrote: lleste >I currently have Win 98 and NT along with Corel Linux on my system. lleste >CL's lilo lets me go with either Linux or Windows, and NT's boot lleste >manager lets me pick between 98 and NT. lleste > lleste >I just bought McCarty's _Learning Debian GUN/Linux_, and I'd like to lleste >install the Debian that came with it. lleste > lleste >Can you tell me how to manage the booting between all these guys?

The problem is this (and I've tried various other Linux providers as well): None of the installation programs will recognize my hard drive at all.

kerneld is for old 2.1 kernels and 2.0 kernels..not for 2.2 ..i have never encountered a problem with using it in kernel 2.2 it just doesnt do anything. as for /proc check /etc/fstab and see that /proc is supposed to be mounted, also make sure the kernel is configured for proc filesystem support. if you compiled your own kernel its possible you told it not to include support for /proc nate On Wed, 2 Feb 2000, Joseph de los Santos wrote: jh0u >hello, jh0u > jh0u > when I boot linux, after it displays all the initial bootstrap process jh0u >when it reaches the part jh0u >"freeing unused kernel memory: 140k freed jh0u >INIT: version 2.78 booting" jh0u >it hangs...so I press control+c to continue loading and so it does but then jh0u >it tells me that there is nothing in /proc- not mounted? and also kerneld jh0u >tells me that "I almost dont want to be running kerneld with >= 2.2.x jh0u >kernels..but I am using 2.2.13 kernel and there was no problems before? when jh0u >I am finally able to login (sometimes it works sometimes it doesnt) when I jh0u >check my /proc directory..it is empty! what I was doing before this happened jh0u >was that I was just tinkering and looking around in make xconfig..I think my jh0u >mistake was I did not click on the quit button in xconfig but instead just jh0u >clicked on the close button and then halted the machine..before I was jh0u >tinkering around xconfig everything was working fine...can this be still jh0u >fixed? jh0u > jh0u >thank you and any help would be greatly appreciated. jh0u > jh0u > jh0u >__ jh0u >Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com jh0u > jh0u > jh0u >-- jh0u >Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] < /dev/null jh0u > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ]-- Vice President Network Operations http://www.firetrail.com/ Firetrail Internet Services Limited http://www.aphroland.org/ Everett, WA 425-348-7336http://www.linuxpowered.net/ Powered By:http://comedy.aphroland.org/ Debian 2.1 Linux 2.0.36 SMPhttp://yahoo.aphroland.org/ -[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ]-- 5:19pm up 167 days, 5:30, 1 user, load average: 1.04, 1.05, 1.06

Re: compiling kernel on sparc/debian
try make zImage or bzImage or zdisk or bzDisk i dont know if zdisk or bzdisk (bzDisk?) are valid options but i know zImage and bzImage is, vmlinuz is not as far as i know. zImage is used for kernels that can load in the 640kb of memory, bzImage will load in 'high' memory (above 1MB i believe) for larger kernels. most of the time 2.2.x requires bzImage but you can try zImage, it will tell u if the kernel is too big, and wether to use bzImage or not. nate On Wed, 2 Feb 2000, Aaron Solochek wrote: aarons > aarons >meatball:/usr/src/linux#make vmunix aarons >make: *** No rule to make target `vmunix'.

Re: hardware problems
it would be helpful to know if the machine has ever been running good under another distro/OS or if its a 'new' machine.. install lm_sensors on the machine for some additional info about the mainboard like voltage and temp and stuff. i also find running X on the screen with status monitors is good, when my BP6 crashes i can usually always see what was going on when it crashed from mem/cpu load to cpu/MB temp to time it crashed etc. it may also be worth a shot to install another OS on it to see if it does the same..could try one of the floppy based linux distros that installs into memory or the QNX demo (www.qnx.com) which also loads into memory. also it may be worth trying to crash it by increasing the cpu and i/o load by loading multiple copies of [EMAIL PROTECTED] 1 copy for every 10-15MB of ram you have. make the machine work it's ass off for a while and see if it holds up for the 24 hours, or if it crashes real quick. i can usually get about 15 million disk writes out in a 2-3 day period with a good amount of seti going. it stresses the IDE bus to the limits(and past some, ive had machines reset the ide bus a few times during that) nate On Wed, 2 Feb 2000, Allan M.

Re: help with kernel compiling
well, 2.0.36 has prooven itself stable to use. i have a couple patches in it, but probably the biggest thing is my main machines use software raid, i've read about some problems in 2.2.x raid and am not confident upgrading to 2.2.x will make everything run as stable as it does now. i am about 1500 miles away from those machines so if something critical happened and reverting to the old kernel didnt fix it i'd be looking at at least a week of downtime while someone ships the drives to me to look at/repair. although the prospects of making better use of the 2nd processor in this machine on a 2.2.x kernel are nice, i think i will hold off until we physically replace the whole machine before i go for a new kernel rev and new distribution(potato). this machine being up for almost 6 months makes me confident this kernel is good. nate On Mon, 31 Jan 2000 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: TKWJ3 >Why 2.0.36 on your most important boxes?

Re: Is there a utility out there...
look what module redhat used ? :/ or you can download the OSS demo from www.opensound.com it has a soundcard detection/installation routine, i think u can use that, then uninstall OSS(or pay for it) to see what kind of card it is. nate On Thu, 27 Jan 2000, Michael Jessop wrote: mjesso >...that will detect my sound board and tell me what module/driver/other mjesso >settings I need to set in my kernel?

Re: Pathetic Performance
after using afterstep for so long twm just feels bland..id use it if i needed it(was low on memory) but if i had a choice..ack! i cant see my self using it cept in last resort..i havent used it much so im sure i havent gotten to appreciate it's benefits(if it has any other then memory conservation :) ) i find it hard to live without afterstep's desktop/window management though. nothing else i've tried (gnome/E/kde/windowmaker to some extent) compares.. nate On Thu, 27 Jan 2000, Hans wrote: hansfo >>and i'd suggest going to fvwm (or even twm *shiver*) to reduce memory hansfo >>usage even further. hansfo > hansfo >Why would you shiver over twm.
