Subject: Dual Token Ring Card Problem
Date: Sun, 24 Jan 1999 16:35:21 -0600
Hello All:
I am currently attempting to get 2 IBM 16/4 Auto ISA token ring adapters
installed in an IBM PC 360 (i686/150). I have been able to get Linux to
detect and install the first card. However, only after I turned of PnP for
the card and hardcoded the resources. I did the same with the second
adapter. I set aliases for tr1 and tr0 in conf.modules, with one at io=a20
(this one works) and the other at a24 (this one doesn't work). During
bootup I get good initialization of the first card, but the Kernel says
"Delaying Intialization of tr1". I have verified the resources of both
cards to be unique... I still can't seem to get it going.
Does anybody out there have any ideas???
Please Help!

Subject: Media Vision PCMCIA soundcard?
Date: 24 Jan 1999 17:37:11 -0800
My new laptop's main limitation is that it only has one channel of audio
input. If it weren't for that it would make a great direct-to-digital
recording device.
I picked up a Media Vision PCMCIA Soundcard for $30 at a local surplus
joint. The only documentation is a single sheet explaining how to
install it under Win95. Looking at the list of SUPPORTED.CARDS in
pcmcia-cs-3.0.6 (pretty recent, if not actually the latest) I don't see
it either in the supported or the unsupported list. Anyone know of a
driver?
Failing that, I'm guessing that it looks a lot like a PAS-16. Any
guesses as to how attack the problem in that case? Or should I wait for
USB audio to be supported?

Your best bet is to install 98 on your primary partition which sounds like
you want it to be 4GB?
Then you want to have an extended partition of 4GB where you leave in
nowhere man's land...(just make it a secondary partition for dos (you can
delete it later) ). Then you will have only 5GB left for linux.
Install 98 first, (while installing 98 & running fdisk, make your
extended partition of 4GB for nothing) and then install linux on the 5GB
partition left.
Lots o' luck!

If you are using the current XFree86(3.3.2..I think), use the ATI Expert

Hello,
After recently compiling kernel 2.0.36 on a RHL5.0 box with
the "Creative Sound Blaster 16 WavEffects PnP ISA" card I
got the following output:
==================================================================
$ /bin/dmesg

All the tests described in the Sound HOWTO work fine for me, but I find
the fact that there are no midi devices configured a little bit strange,
though I am glad I never had to use the "isapnp" tool.
Did I do something wrong?
Here are the relevant sections of the kernel /usr/src/linux/.config

I wonder if anybody bothers to peek into lilo documentation.
Because if you did you would notice that lilo **saves** this piece
of a disk which is going to overwrite (and is smart enough not to
do that if it found older lilo scribblings). So, boot your Linux
from floppy, 'dd' saved sector back to its original location and
your disk is bit-by-bit on MBR like it was before.
Also, if you would consult said documentation you would be informed that
only in special cases lilo needs to be on MBR. Most of the time
is just as happy on Linux partition.
And yes, my Toshiba laptop does dual boot, as well as Sharp laptop
of my friend and many other laptops around and, on the top of it,
you likely have on your disk "Linux+NT-Loader" mini-HOWTO with
a lots of recipies and technical details if you double boot with NT.
Happy RTFM,

Date: Sun, 24 Jan 1999 21:53:06 -0500
I don't know exactly what could be wrong there. I can tell that your isapnp is
working fine (you can reconfigure it yourself just to be sure. Do "pnpdump
>/etc/isapnp.conf" and edit the generated file to suit your tastes). The
problem with sfxload is just that it's not in the PATH; startup scripts usually
have a limited path environment. Just go to /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit, look for
sfxload, and change the pathname. Finally, I can only help with only one thing
with the module problem: make sure your /etc/conf.modules has the following
lines:
alias sound sb
alias midi awe_wave
You could as well replace the 'midi' line with:
post-install sound insmod awe_wave
pre-remove sound rmmod awe_wave
However, I believe RH's scripts load a 'midi' module, so the first solution
should be safe. Try both anyway, there's nothing to lose.
Oh, now that I remember, pnpdump doesn't detect two ports in the wavetable part
of the soundcard. Your isapnp.conf's WaveTable section should look like the
following; just add I/Os 1 and 2:
(CONFIGURE CTL00c1/408370142 (LD 2
# ANSI string -->WaveTable<--
(IO 0 (SIZE 4) (BASE 0x0620))
(IO 1 (SIZE 4) (BASE 0x0a20))
(IO 2 (SIZE 4) (BASE 0x0e20))
# End dependent functions
(NAME "CTL00c1/408370142[2]{WaveTable }")
(ACT Y)
))
Cheers.

I'm sorry I can't help with your problem and I do hope you get it fixed.
I have an Siig Ultra DMA Disk Controller that I really like but I'm
having problems getting Lilo to install. I'm able to boot from the boot
floppy but it would be nice to boot off the disk. All errors point to
recognition of the disk through the SiiG controller. I'll admit I'm
still working on it.
In any case, you might want to drop there Online Tech Support an Email
and let them know that you are not satisfied with the lack of Linux
support for there products. It may not help but if they truly want to
sell more PC boards, having Linux support can only increase there
buisness these days. I told them I will definitely look to the
competeition the next time I need an upgrade. What a shame too, I really
like the equipment !
Any way that's what I did,

If you do a cat /proc/devices what do you get?
Does it show a sd device (scsi disk) device.
If there is no sd entry then maybe the kernel is configured wrong.

How do you figure that?
56000 bps in one direction. Even allowing for 2 to one compression {a
rarity in this day and age of zip'd files}, you get 112000 bps throughput
from the modem.
Full available bandwidth.

Hello,
I recently got a very cheep WinTV (Bttv chip) and I am trying to get it
to work under linux. After a few kernels, I went with the newest
(2.2.0pre-9). I had it built into the kernel and I am attempting to use
Xawtv to display the output. It works great with the composite input,
but not with the normal "TV" plug. Xawtv displays static on a small part
of the display box and black elsewhere. I here static, but little
happens when I change channels. The card is model 404 with mono sound.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Greeting. I have a IBM Thinkpad 701C 486/75 720HD and VGA video, I have
an external floppy, and serial port, what's the easiest way to install
Linux on the notebook ? it currently has Dos 6.22 and Win3.11. Can I
somehow use the serial port and access My win95/SuSe 5.3 linux box and
use the CD Rom drive ?? Thanks.
