Hi
What type of Compaq Server are you trying to install and what problem are u
facing. Linux can be installed on most of the Compaq Servers.

Is it possible you have source code from two versions intermixed?
If you installed the headers and kernel source code from the
RedHat 5.2 CD, I think (I don't remember fer-shur) you have a
directory in /usr/src named linux-2.0.36 and a link named linux,
which points to linux-2.0.36.
If you untar a 2.2.2 tarball into /usr/src, it goes into a directory
named linux. If you have a directory named linux already, in
this case a link to linux-2.0.36, then the two source code trees
are mixed. (To anyone reading over my shoulder, this is correct,
isn't it?)
I have compiled the kernel many times and have experienced
the same problem once, and another time the kernel said Out
of Memory - System Halted. I just rebooted with my old version
and kept on plugging.
Don't give up, you just overlooked something.
BTW, what static link to linux did you remove?

Actually, there were 2 (loadall286 and loadall386) that could load values
into every (methinks) register visible in any other way (excluding electron
microscope, of course). The instruction took the values from 0:800h AFAIK.
Have a look at Ralf Brown's interrupt list - there are many similar
undocumented instructions. The problem with loadall (0fh 05h on '286;
0fh 07h on '386 IIRC) was that it was implemented only on *intel* 80286's.
Harris chips - no. Siemens, AMD - I don't know. Oh, and I think loadall
was not a protected instruction - anyone could execute it. Pretty stupid
leaving it there after development!

Yes, also true, and more portable. Worked on *all* PC's, not just those
with "intel inside" (when was that phrase coined?)

No misunderstanding, loadall existed, 8042 trick always (?) worked, other

This method depended (depends?) on circuitry that detects the cpu going

(which can still be handled semi-gracefully) whereupon the cpu sends a

Subject: modem problems
Okay, this would be my own personal modem hell:
I've installed Slackware 3.6 on a P200 w/ MMX 96Mgs ram 2 5.2G IDE HDD's
2 IDE CD ROMs... etc
cua0 is my mouse,
cua1 is my modem, irq 3, 0x02f8
cua2 is my sound card
mouse and sound cards work fine
modem is a USR/3COM 56K Voice Faxmodem
Bios has PnP support, tried all this both w/ & w/o Bios PnP support
enabled.
First I had it set up to PNP specks, and it would be id'd at irq 3,
0x02f8, when I first fired up the machine I'd be able to dial out, but
after I'd disconnect I wouldn't be able to make another connection. The
modem wouldn't even initilize, or (in minicom) it would only print out
half of the init string.
Well from there I figured I'd check out the jumpers, found jumpers on my
card (whoo hoo, or so I think) and jumpered it to cua1 and IRQ 3, boot
back up and try that method. Linux didn't even recognize the card, so I
figured I'd try isapnp and see what happed, well it was recognzed, but
just like it was b4.
That's about all that I can think of for right now, any
suggestions/comments/rebuttles/whatevers please don't hesitate to speak
your mind.

The resolution of your problem depends a lot on the specifics of the modem
you are trying to use, e.g. manufacturer, model, ISA/PCI/external,

Which is true?

I heard they are first commercial X server.
Using those X server clears i740 slow speed problem?

Well, you are right. It will work both ways.
But since it defaults there, my dual boot to windows NT puts it there,
and the 2.2.1 kernel I'm using wants to use irq7 for /dev/lp0,
why fight the "status quo"?

Where is a current Linux "OK" hardware list? I need to get an internal
or external 56K modem that will work on Linux and Windows 98/NT. I am
also looking for Linux friendly laptop models.
Thanks.
