. 
    What sort of data are you serving? How many users do you
have hitting the server at a time?
    Since RAID support is experimental in the 2.0 kernels, I'd
suggest that you either wait for 2.2 or, better yet, get a
hardware RAID controller. (SMP is experimental as well.)
    I don't think you'll be short on CPU power though you
should make sure your bus is 100mHz and not 66mHz. A few NICs
is probably uncessary; two should be more than enough to 
saturate your system.

I'm a Linux newbie and have spent the past three days trying to get my
XFree86 server to display 8-bit, 256-color at 1024x768 res using my
Diamond Stealth64 adapter. I get 8-bit color at 800x600, but not at
1024x768. It works OK in Windows 98.

Here are the specifics:

Diamond Stealth64 Video 2001 Series v1.06
S3 Trio64V + PCI (86C765) Rev E
1 MB DRAM

Caldera OpenLinux 1.3
XF86_S3 and XF86_SVGA (tried both)

Thanks in advance to anyone out there who can help me with this.

Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I have been running some small perl scripts on two K6-2/300 Linux
machines that differ only in the motherboard cache size -- one has 1MB,
the other 512k.  The scripts involve very little disk I/O (just loading
the perl executable and the 5-15k scripts; no disk I/O initiated in the
scripts themselves).  The machine with the 1MB cache consistently runs
the scripts about 50% faster.  Can the cache size make *that* much
difference?  I've had a couple people suggest that it can, but have
heard no real definitive answer.   Anybody got one?

Much obliged.

Hello, i'm new to PC hardware and i'm looking for some documentation on
the standard features of pc's (esp. 486's).  A few questions that the
document(s) should answer are:

1- What features are standard on most 486's? (isa slots?, bus speeds?,
number and type of processor registers?)


2- Who made those standards and who is currently setting standards for
current pc architecture?  Is it one group?, or maybe a combination of
groups?  Perhaps a standards organization like ISO or ANSI?


3- An explanation of the Master,Slave,Cable Select, DS, options when
connecting drives to a 486?  I'd like to know who designed this and the
motivation for providing these options.  Also what is the correct way to
set up a system using these options.


You see, i've set up linux successfully but it was a largely methodical
process when it came to configuring the hardware correctly.  I knew that
there were only a finite number of ways to configure the system hardware
so i proceeded through each configuration until i arrived at the first
working configuration.  Needless to say this process was very
frustrating and i'd prefer to know exactly what it is that i'm doing and
why.  Thanks in advance for any help/suggestions.

Did you compiled SCSI cdrom support into the kernel?

My yamaha works fine with my initio 9100u

also remember that the first scsi cd is at /dev/scd0
/dev/cdrom will not always work unless
you remove the /dev/cdrom link and make a new one

cd /dev
rm cdrom
ln -s /dev/scd0 cdrom

if you already have an IDE cdrom
then just make a cdrw

ln -s /dev/scd0 cdrw

Hi everybody!

I am running Linux 2.2-pre6 in hte S.u.S.E. environment. My soundcard appears
to work fine (it is a S3 Sonicvibes compatible TurtleBeach). I downloaded
RealPlayer v5.0 and when I am trying to launch it it gives me Error #1
(described on the RealAudio's help WWW page as a "General Error") and on the
command line prints "audio: write error". I checked permissions on
/dev/audio,- they are rw-rw-rw-... I am perplexed.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Boris.

I am not aware of the fat32 backup table being placed at the end of the disk
where can I read about that?

but I am aware that symantec programs do create a backup of the boot and fat table
and guess where they put the backup?

Do you have any symantec utility programs in your computer? or did you ever?

the symantec image program, which is part of most symantec software packages,
creates a backup image of important harddisk data at the end of the disk.

Delete the files and they will be recreated next time that you run any of the
symantec utilities

also, when defragging the disk, do not use a DOS utility for any fat32 drive unless
it knows
what a fat32 is.

        if ( inw(ioaddr) != 0x6d50)
        {
                return -ENODEV;
        }


The call to inw(ioadd) returns 0x6d00 _not_ 0x6d50  !!

This is confirmed by running the el3_diag program which returns

I've just tried to install RedHat 5.1 Linux but have hit a major
problem.
I have an Adaptec 1515 SCSI card fitted which is fine under DOS
and WIN95 but Redhat refuses to recognise it. I tried almost all options
given but still no joy. Is there any way that I can get it to find it ?
It's a bit of a showstopper as I have a 4G drive and a tape drive
connected to it !
WIN95 sees it as an ADAPTEC AHA-152X/AIC6X60 plus a few others.

Maybe there is a driver out there somewhere ?? Tried the RedHat site but
no joy.
The card is sat at default settings I/O 340 and IRQ 11
Cheers,
        Len
