(While I use Linux at work, I have never installed _anything_ before.) I just installed RedHat Linux7.0 on my HP Pavilion 8770C (http://www.gotbyte.com/hppav87pc.html for all specs) With Windows98, I was using Verizon's DSL service with a Westell Infospeed modem. After searching Google, I intalled Roaring Penguin on my linux, and installed it; Everytime I tried to connect, it timed out. Then I ran (prompt) ifconfig eth0 and got and error saying device not found. Basically I think the ehternet card has not been detected by Linux. The card is a HP EN1207D-TX PCI 10/100 Fast Ethernet Adapter The card IS supported. Please visit http://hardware.redhat.com/redhatready/html/us/static-hcl/intel-network.html and search for 1207D-TX. === From the output of lspci (prompt) lspci [snip] 00:0f.0 Ethernet controller: Accton Technology Corporation SMC2-1211TX (rev 10) Subsystem: Hewlett-Packard Company: Unknown device 9207 Control: I/O+ Mem+ BusMaster- SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop- ParErr- Stepping- SERR- FastB2B- Status: Cap+ 66Mhz- UDF- FastB2B+ ParErr- DEVSEL=medium TAbort- TAbort- MAbort- SERR- PERR- Interrupt: pin A routed to IRQ 0 Region 0: I/O ports at 1400 Region 1: Memory at f400 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) Capabilities: [50] Power Management version 2 Flags: PMEClk- DSI- D1+ D2+ AuxCurrent=0mA PME(D0-,D1+,D2+,D3hot+,D3cold-) Status: D0 PME-Enable- DSel=0 DScale=0 PME- [snip] Someone in the dsl group pointed out that the IRQ number might be wrong.

I'm irate that I can't buy a laptop computer from Dell without paying the Microsoft tax for an OS that I don't want and won't use. But that's all they sell, so that's my only option if I want to buy a laptop from Dell (which I just did - the Inspiron 2100 seems pretty nifty thus far).

Ah, nods.
Someone opened up a big ol' can of whoop-ass on you, eh?
more like a big ol' can of boo hoo hoo whining. it really doesn't matter
whether Jon Leech or John Q Public tries to explain to the raging linux
lunatic why he is completely off base--it's just falling on deaf ears.
but this thread sure does illustrate exactly the type of userbase sgi

Hi all,
Is the Panasonic KXL-RW10A CD-RW drive compatible with Linux? Does anyone
has experience on setting up this device to work with Linux Mandrake 7.2
(kernel 2.2.19-4.1mdk) or other linux? This drive has a PCMCIA SCSI
interface. When I plug the card into my notebook, the kernel can detect
the PCMCIA card and assign IRQ and others for the card. I'd like to ask
what other steps are required to setup the drive for CD burning in linux.
Thanks in advance.

Alright kids, here's the story:
My pertinent hardware layout is:
MB - Abit-kt7-raid\
HD - IBM Deskstar 7200 30gig
PROC - Thunderbird 900
I'd been running a couple distros on my system (first RH 7.0 then Mandrake
7.0? 7.2?) for a while with no problems whatsoever. I did a clean install to
MDK 8.0 and now I get an error message dumped to my console by the kernel
about every 10 seconds or so:
hda: dma_intr: error=0x84{DriveStatusError BadCRC}
hda: dma_intr: error=0x51{DriveReady SeekCompleteError}
I did an install of RH 7.1 (which also uses the 2.4 kernel) and I'm getting
the same probelm. I've already swapped out my IDE cables and reformatted the
disk checking for bad sectors, and used low-level disk utilities from IBM to
check for hardware problems.. so its not one of those... Can anybody help?
Is there a kernel patch for this anywhere? Am I high and dry?
Thanks a million,
Andrew Murray
