Subject: Re: Converting Serial port ttyS0 to ttyS1
Date: 5 Jan 1999 23:16:30 GMT
ttyS0 is the physical COM1(Serial port 1)
ttyS1 is the physical COM2. If the camera does not work on COM2 (ttyS1),
you may need to consider purchasing a camera that will work. Unfortunately,
most internal modems are configured to use COM2. When you say that you used
an adaptor to convert ttyS0 to ttyS1, do you just mean the pin
configuration? (25 pin?) If so, then it is still the original physical
serial port, with a different pin arrangement. So, if you wanted, you could
have 1 9-pin on COM1 for your mouse, and 1 25-to-9 pin adaptor on COM2 for
the camera. If you have any questions, please email me as well as post to
this group.
Good luck!

I have a 486dx2/66 vlb box with 32mb ram, vesa video and vesa i/o+ide
controllers, isa 10b-T and I would like to be able to enable L2 on it.
I got the thing for 50$ and aside from L2 everything works great. I know
the person I got it from so I know he was not aware of it being damaged.
Are there any issues with L2 + vlb? I already tried using conservative mem-
timings but only disabling the L2 would make the system boot.

I'm trying to set up my Linux box to dial the Telstra OnRamp2 service in
Australia which is the same as the Euopean ISDN service.
My Eicon Diva card seems to be detected and 2 channels are added etc.
But when I try and dial out the ttyi0 as modem emulation using minicom,
I get NO CARRIER errors.
I think its a setup problem still.
Does anyone have any ideas?

Be sure to habe the sbm file system support compiled into the kernel or
loaded via module. I had strange behaviours, too, until I compiled the
kernel new. Thought that smb support is in the SuSE kernels.

Date: Wed, 06 Jan 1999 00:52:59 GMT
Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I am trying to install Redhat Linux 5.2 for the first time on my box. I have
two Maxtor HD. One is 1.6GB and the second is 7.0GB EIDE. Due to the
limitation in the BIOS. I am able to use only 2GB of the 7.0GB. When, I
tried to install Redhat Linux, the machine hangs after this following
section:
hdb: hdb: dma_intr: Status =0x59 { DriveReady SeekComplete DataRequest Error }
hdb: dma_intr error=0x04 { DriveStatus Error }
It goes through fine for the 1.6GB (hda)
Model of 7.0GB : Maxtor EIDE 90720D5 (Ultra DMA Mode 2)
Any suggestions?
Regards
Magesh.

Subject: Keyboard problems with X
Hi there
after installing SuSe 5.3 on an older 486er i have problems to acces the
characters: { [ ] } \ @ ~ |
It seems that the AltGr - key does not work properly (german keyboard
layout). When not running X (text modus) at least { [ ] } \ ~ | are
accepted, but nut @.
I've already tried various keyboard layouts and so on, but nothing
seemed to work, but i'm not an expert in configuring all the files in
/etc and using xmodmap.
Thanks

Date: Tue, 5 Jan 1999 21:07:48 EST
I thought installation of Red Hat 5.2 was able to automatically scan and
find a second SCSI adapter? It didn't find my Adaptec card (which came
with a recently installed internal SCSI Zip drive). The installation
only detected my Buslogic SCSI adapter, to which I have everything else
connected. How do I get the Adaptec card (which shows up as Adaptec
AHA-152X/AHA-1510 in NT 4) recognized and get the Zip drive working?
I'd hate to be forced to work primarily in Windows NT.

Instead of typing 'ifconfig' type 'ifconfig eth0'
if it complains that device is unknown/invalid/etc. you are in trouble: probably
your driver is not compatible. If the interface exists, it will probably come up
as 'DOWN' - that's why typing 'ifconfig' does not work, 'ifconfig' without
parameters only displays active interfaces.
So, if the interface exists, go ahead and try to configure your interface
using ifconfig command( look in /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1 for format and explanations on
what do exactly).
Once you are able to configure interface using ifconfig, then start over and try
to get dhcp to automatically configure it for you.
