RedHat 5.2 supports the commands
cat /proc/dma
cat /proc/interrupts
cat /proc/ioports
to tell you the status of DMA channels, IRQs, and I/O ports
respectively. Hope this helps.

I have an S3 virge GX2 4mb and I'm quite happy with it working on my
RH5.1... OK, I struggled to make it work fine. It came out that when
using using the SVGA server 3.3.3, an option must be desactivated : try
adding the line
Option "xaa_no_color_exp"
in the Device section of your XF86Config and the problem is over (at
least for me, it was).

Hello!
I have been having a small problem with my printer lately.
Epson ESC/P2 printers use a certain printing language (namely, ESC/P2)
for printing. A DIP switch on the front of the machine determines if it
will accept the ESC/P2 printing or IBM-compatible printing (standard
text)
Has anyone heard of a driver for linux for the ESC/P2 series of
printers?
I've searched the world over...
Thank you
mike

Can Linux be used to read SCSI MODs? The ones I have don't have a filesystem
on them (are raw data) and I don't seem to be able to read anything from them
(I'm using the example Generic Scsi code found the net). I can read the label
of the drive and determine if there is any media loaded, but when I go to
read or lseek around, the scsi commands return data but it is junk and the
light on the front of the drive never kicks on when I read/lseek.
Thanks,
Bruce
PS: I've tried things like xcdroast on it (to read) but the drive shows up
in the list of drives available, but when I go to set a drive to read from it
only shows my internal cdrom drive.

I'd double-check the supported hardware list, but Adaptec's AHA-1502B is

Ok.. I had same problem.. RH 5.1 worked fine and RH 5.2 had trouble
recognizing my ethernet card. As of yet, no solution to that.
> Re: your multiple OS question
Also, I would suggest Partition Magic 4.0 by Power Quest. It comes with Boot
Magic. I am successfully running Win98/NT/Linux on a PentII machine and
Win98/Linux on a AmdK6 266. You can move partitions around on your hard
drive and just put the boot partition for Linux on the first portion of the
first hard drive. You can put /usr etc.. wherever you want. I am very
pleased with this latest version of PMagic.
Just FYI:
I am going to go back and install RH 5.2 again via FTP. If I run into same
trouble again, will post it here.

I recently upgraded a system with RH 5.1 and
an ATAPI Zip drive. Things aren't working yet:
The zip drive should be at /dev/hdc4
At boot I get the message (among many others):
hdc IOMEGA ZIP 100 ATAPI Floppy Drive
I made the following entry in /etc/fstab:
/dev/hdc4 /mnt/zip ext2 noauto 0 0
I was able to format a cartridge with:
/sbin/mke2fs -m 0 /dev/hdc4
But when I tried to mount the zip drive I got
the message
mount point /mnt/zip does not exist
Obviously something simple.
Can anyone set me straight?

e2fsck is not a filesystem but a program which checks for errors and

Hi. i do apologize if my message sounds a bit too long but at least
you all will be able to figure out the sticky problem I'm stuck with
and may even know how to help me out of it. I currently am running
Windows 98 on one hard disk. However, since it is 7.5 GB and it's
32-bit, Linux won't recognize it when I first install Linux. At least
that's what I have been told and eventually found out. Besides, sure I
can download 500 MB in 2 hrs without any trouble via my cable modem,
but I would still need to copy it to a CD-R or CD-RW disc or something
and I'm not gonna pay $200 - $400 for CD-R/RW (in case you all wanted
to know why I would not prefer to copy to a storage device and then
install). I'm not sure if Linux will do it off my zip disks if I copy
linux to 6 zip discs. In any case, these wonderful people keep on
changing the versions of RH Linux. Therefore having got fed up with
it, I looked in the book which talked about RH Linux and how to
install. Well, I had versions 3 and 4 of RH but since some of my
crucial hardware at that time could not be recognized I abandoned RH
until I finally found out that if I had a direct connection with
Cox@home just like corporations and universities that have a direct
connection with their T1, T3, OC-3, etc... server, then you don't even
have to download RH linux. All you really have to download are the
boot.img and supp.img files and transfer them to two blank but
formatted 3.5" high density disks. So I did just that and booted up my
machine and when I got to the installation method option, I chose ftp
method. When I got to the ethernet card question, I 3c509 driver. By
the way, I still have the 3c509b PnP 16-bit Ethernet adaptor which I
obtained when I used to attend another university. Rather than sell
it, I kept it for something like a cable modem. In fact that same
ethernet card I had was part of the requirements for my cable modem
installation. Anyway, RH Linux never in the past had any trouble
recognizing my ethernet card. The only trouble was recognizing my
video cards,my parallel port zip drive, and my higher capacity hard
drive. here, in 5.2 that was not the problem. however, when I got to
the options of DHCP, BOOTP, and Static Address, I chose the Static
option and filled in my fields correctly. However, I got an error
message saying unable to connect to host. I fully verified the ftp
site address and typed it correctly. So I then went back and tried the
other two options only to get the "no response" error message from
bootp and dhcp. So the question still remains, isn't it possible to
install via ftp with cox@home and if so, how and what configurations
are to be made during installation?
P.S:
PLEASE DO NO TELL ME TO USE ANOTHER VERSION OF UNIX SINCE I KINDA AM
USED TO RH LINUX. ALSO, PLEASE DO NOT TELL ME HOW TO PARTITION MY HARD
DRIVE SINCE MY 75. GB HARD DRIVE IS NEARLY FILLED UP. I PLAN TO
INSTALL REDHAT LINUX 5.2 TO MY OLDER 730 MB HARD DRIVE SO PLEASE DO
