You do not mention any problem.
There is no reason to expect any problems - a recent kernel will handle
your disk just fine - there is no need to start doing obscure things.
(i) The kernel always gives a C/H/S at boot time (for IDE disks) - it just
tells you what geometry it will give fdisk and LILO if hey ask for one.
It does not mean that the kernel itself uses CHS addressing.
(It will use LBA whenever that is supported by your disk, i.e., always,
on recent hardware.)
(ii) This `linear' thing is not something for the kernel, but for LILO.
Edit /etc/lilo.conf adding a line
linear
(NOT append="linear" like some people are saying; append is for
giving options to the kernel, this is an option for LILO itself.
Read the LILO documentation, or lilo.conf(5)).
Usually everything works fine both with and without this LILO option.
(iii) The more you worry about these things the less it will work.
For the great majority of people, doing absolutely nothing is the
right way to get things working.
Sometimes people have problems mounting a disk and start fiddling with
geometries, but a mount problem is never a geometry problem.
Look at the kernel boot messages. First there is a section about
what disks are recognized, like
hda: Maxtor 91728D8, 16479MB w/512kB Cache, CHS=1020/200/62, DMA
hdb: QUANTUM Bigfoot TX12.0AT, 11497MB w/69kB Cache, CHS=23361/16/63, DMA
...
SCSI device sda: hdwr sector= 512 bytes. Sectors= 12657717 [6180 MB] [6.2 GB]
SCSI device sdb: hdwr sector= 512 bytes. Sectors= 17755792 [8669 MB] [8.7 GB]
...
and then a section about what partitions are seen on the disk, like
Partition check:
sda: sda1 sda2 sda3 < sda5 sda6 sda7 sda8 >
sdb: sdb1 sdb2 sdb3 sdb4 < sdb5 sdb6 >
sdc: sdc1 sdc2 < sdc5 sdc6 sdc7 > sdc3
sdd: sdd1 < sdd5 sdd6 > sdd2 sdd3 sdd4
hda: hda1
hdb: hdb1 hdb2 < hdb5 hdb6 hdb7 > hdb3 hdb4
hdc: hdc1 hdc2 hdc3 hdc4
Once the kernel mentions a disk, you know that it has seen this disk.
Once the kernel mentions the partitions, you know that it can read the disk.
Geometry-related problems only occur in relation to other systems
like DOS and Windows (and perhaps the BIOS), and only for LILO and
fdisk, never for the Linux kernel or mount or so.
[And for the gurus a question: What is peculiar in the above kernel messages?
What causes it? Could the kernel have avoided it?]

You say correctly that the system recognizes the drive.
But you do not mention any partitions found on the drive.

If the partition check does not mention sdb4 then there is
no such partition and then it cannot be mounted either.

Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Hi,
I'd like to know if anyone managed to get a useable Linux installation
on the MicroStar 6120 motherboard (that's the one with dual processor
-SMP 1.1- and dual channel SCSI controller).
I tried to install Debian but it failed miserably. So I tried RedHat
5.2. It install OK, can compile a kernel but that'a about all it can do.
Every other program I wanted to compile failed with meaningless error
messages (sames progs compile fine on my other machine with same RH).
I also had some "bus error" messages when doing ldconfig but it's not
doing it anymore I don't know why.
Maybe I need to specify some kernel options at boot time or compile a
kernel with specific options but I don't know which ones. Could someone
help me with this?
Thanks in advance,
Yann

Read the Large Disk HOWTO. A quote:
"Only fools talk about the `real' geometry of the drive".
You see - nobody is interested in the `real' geometry.
It does not exist. It will not be used, and it cannot be used.
Linux wants the geometry only for interaction with DOS and BIOS.
But DOS and BIOS use a geometry concept where you have 6 bits
for the number of sectors per track. So each of the values
200, 256, 330 is nonsensical, 63 is the maximum.
If you say nothing at all, and avoid giving "hda=..." options,
chances are good that all will be fine, especially if you use
a recent kernel, like 2.0.34 or 2.0.36.

Subject: FINALLY!! OPTi931 sound card is working!! BUT...
Date: Thu, 28 Jan 1999 11:27:25 +0000
I have finally made my opti931-based sound card work. I was ready to
give up, until I gave it another try.
Here was my configuration:
2.0.36 kernel using redhat 5.2
ossfree 3.8s2
isapnp tools 1.17 (automatically run during bootup)
After following through the mini-HOWTO and all those docs, I still could
not make it work. The one thing I noticed different between my config
and those docs were that they were using ossfree 3.8s5. So I downloaded
the tar.gz file for ossfree3.86 (which when checked via cat /dev/sndstat
is actually 3.8s5).
I know I have tried this before. Back then, I did not moved
/usr/src/linux/drivers/sound to /usr/src/linux/drivers/sound.old. I
simply cd to /usr/src and then untarred and ungzipped. make zImage
failed!! So I brought back the original ossfree 3.8s2 from my redhat cd
using rpm -V.
I decided just today to give ossfree3.8s6 another try. This time:
cd /usr/src/linux/drivers
mv sound sound.old
cd /usr/src
gzip -dc <tarfile> | tar -xvf -
cd /usr/src/linux
make menuconfig
I was surprised that under the Sound menu, all I have is "Sound card
support" and "Additional low level drivers". Regardless of whether or
not you select Y, M or N for "Sound card support", these 2 options are
the only ones you get. There are supposed to be lots of options in the
menu.
Nevertheless, I proceeded to select N (as per readme.linux of the
ossfree tar.gz file) for sound card support, then make dep;make
clean;make zImage. Then rerun lilo, reboot.
Then I did the following, as mentioned in the readme.linux file of the
ossfree tar.gz file:
cd /usr/src/linux/drivers/sound
make
Now you get the options that you normally get during make menuconfig or
make xconfig. I then proceeded to select my configuration (simply
followed the same IRQ, DMA, I/O as in the mini-HOWTO).
Then I copied sound.o (ONLY) to /lib/modules/2.0.36/misc, as inidicated
by readme.linux (did not mention copying all .o files)
Finally, the last instruction was to load sound: insmod sound .... but
I got lots of unresolved symbols!!!!!
I decided to do:
cd /usr/src/linux
make modules;make modules_install
Tried to load again. Same thing.
I then tried recompiling my kernel this time with sound compiled as
module. rebooted. Tried to load again. Same thing. Ran make modules;make
modules_install, load again, same thing.
===========
Over curiosity (which made the damn card work), I copied all .o files
from /usr/src/linux/drivers/sound to /lib/modules/2.0.36/misc, replacing
all existing .o files.
===========
Tried loading again. This time no unresolved symbol errors!!! And when I
actually cat /dev/sndstat, I now have devices detected!!!! ...except for
the Audio device. I resolved this quickly by unloading sound and running
the OPTI82C931 program, then loading again. Viola!!!!
Tested with cat sample.au >/dev/audio
It works!!!!!
Final test, I rebooted.
============================
BUT I have these unresolved symbol(s) errors still which are too fast
for me to read, but they all point to /lib/modules/2.0.36/misc. Neither
dmesg nor /var/log/messages stores the errors!!
============================
Nevertheless, I ran the OPTi program again, (remember that in my case,
isapnp is automatically run during startup), and I have sound again!!!
Summary:
* Use ossfree 3.8s6
* Move /usr/src/linux/drivers/sound to
/usr/src/linux/drivers/sound.old
* Ungzip and untar the ossfree tar.gz file from /usr/src.
* Run make menuconfig (You will only see 2 options under Sound menu),
making sure sound is compiled as module
* make dep;make clean;make zImage. If you have problems here, try
disabling sound first, compile, reboot, then do the following 2
steps below, run make menuconfig again this time compiling sound as
module. I'm saying this because I had problems with make zImage
earlier after installing ossfree3.8s6 and then, without running
make menuconfig, proceeded to make zImage.
* Run lilo and reboot
* run make from /usr/src/linux/drivers/sound
* make modules;make modules_install
* To be sure, copy all .o files from /usr/src/linux/drivers/sound to
/lib/modules/2.0.36/misc (Why make modules_install did not do this,
I don't know)
* Run isapnp (assuming you have /etc/isapnp.conf configured properly)
if not run yet
* Run the opti program
* insmod sound
* cat /dev/sndstat to test
============================
NOTE:
You may or will get "unresolved symbol(s)" errors during the startup.
Why this happens, I don't know. The strange thing about this "unresolved
sybmol(s)" at startup is that it is not saved in /var/log/messages nor
is it with dmesg. Furthermore, even with these errors, sound now
works!!!!
If anyone can tell me exactly what an "unresolved symbol(s)" error is
(lke what can cause it) and how to resolve it, I'd be very thankful.
============================
Hopes the above info helps someone.

Apparently all livingston portmasters have been wiped off the face of
the earth from this statements about most ISPs. Muy ISP uses
livingston portmasters and the appropiate chat-up line is
<dail up my ISP with AT commands>
ogin: me
ssword: secret
and then hit PPP mode. Demon internet, the largest ISP in the UK, wants
<dail up demon internet with AT commands>
oign: you
ssword: password
ocol: ppp
and then hit PPP mode. At one time my ISP wanted you to authenticate
yourself with PAP after seeing the connect message. Windows has its
own equivilent of chat but it is more interactive, disguised and less
well documented. Personally I could all 3 as disadvantages---requiring
me to bring up a terminal windows and retype my name and ssword every
time I connect is a pain.

I am not using the BH6, but the Tyan Thunder 100. My C300A works fine (after
increasing VCore to 2.2V) with up to 464 MHz.
BTW in my case Linux ran stable with 2.0V Vcore, but Win98 hang every boot.

Yes. This is the default on many boards, and it can't be changed. Your AGP
card will always share an IRQ with the PCI slot next to it. The only
workaround is , of course, leaving that PCI slot empty.

No, it's because you're posting HTML tags, which most terminal users

on the Stealth. Check out http://www.xfree86.org/3.3.3.1/rendition.html

Subject: Newbie Soundblaster Help!
Date: Mon, 25 Jan 1999 23:42:26 GMT
I have a Sound Blaster Vibra16X and this was recognized by Redhat 5.2
beautifully. Now, the card is then registered as having a bad or missing DMA
channel. Also, the bootup screen shows the soundcard is busy of is in use. The
other hardware is a 3com 3c509b network card, an ISA modem (plain, old), and a
Creative Labs 3D Exxtreme graphics card. Please can, anyone help.
I see that there is a patch to the Linux Kernel 2.0.36 that regards the
Soundblaster Vibra 16X does request a DMA of 0. Is this what I need?

Is a Terasound A3D PCI sound card supported in Linux?
Or is it compatible with some other card?
