Not sure what you current budget is, but DON'T spend any money on this for parts
that you can't re-use in a better system down the road, as this pile of spare
parts isn't really worth it?  (perhaps as a dedcated Linux router/firewall
maybe?)
        Start by looking at the application end of it...What do you need or want
this machine to be able to do?  If you really need to hammer nails, then "any
old saw" won't really do the job, no matter how much you spend to have it
sharpened...

I build, and have built many low cost machinesas a hobby, and for non-profit
organizations, and I think I may be ready to throw away stuff more advanced that
that, 'cause the support overhead just isn't worth the time it takes to get it
running.  Email me if you want specific recommendations, as I've found many
sources for "near Trailing Edge" but still usable parts, that will work well
without the headaches.

Subject: RedHat 5.2, Enscript and HP LJ 5L

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone had ran into this problem and found a
solution.  I have a perfectly good running system based on Red Hat 5.2
with SMP, 2.0.36 kernel; recently upgraded to 2.2.2 kernel.

I have an HP LaserJet 5L printer connected to /dev/lp0 and I am using
the LaserJet 4/5/6 printer filter.  Everthing works fine, I can print
with lpr and stuff.  However when I tries to print with enscript, the
printer doesn't eject the page.  I can see that data are being sent to
the printer because the light is flashing but no matter how many pages I
print, I don't get any output.  After print job is complete, I press the
form feed button and all I get is one page, the first page.

Has anyone else ran into this probem?

Thanks,
Cheng

Ideally, they need to be what's called a "matched pair", which means they need
to be of the same stepping and revision, and preferable of the same die lot.
Most vendors that sell Dual CPU boards will know this, and even some of the
places that only sell CPU's and RAM will know what you're needing if you tell
them it is for a dual CPU system.  If they don't, then chances are, you don't
need to be buying from them.

Also, in order to compile SMP support into any 2.0.x kernel, you will have to
manually edit the file /usr/src/linux/Makefile to uncomment out the "# SMP=1"
line...  may also need to use "make bzImage" later on in the process, instead of
the "make zImage", as adding SMP support will increase the size of the kernel,
and zImage may fil with a "kernel too big" error if you don't.  Kernel versions
2.2.x won't need the manual edit, but may still need the bzip substitution.
(I'm still at SMP RH 5.2/ 2.0.36, so I haven't tried that yet)

Subject: laptop: add APM, lose PCMCIA NIC!
Date: Wed, 10 Mar 1999 04:03:06 GMT

I recently installed RH 5.2 on my laptop without any problems.  I had to
install via network PC card, so PCMCIA works fine, but after recompiling the
kernel for APM, I lose my PCMCIA capability.

I read over the PCMCIA howto and recompiled/reinstalled cardmgr, but the
network card modules just refuse to load properly.  I don't have the exact
error message, but I have a feeling this has something to do with the
location of the pcmcia modules.  Redhat puts them in /lib/modules by default.
 I've been moving the old /lib/modules/2.0.36-0.7 before
recompiling/installing the new modules, could this be the problem?


Thanks in advance,
Mike

Sorry for the vagueness--I'm working with a Toshiba laptop and a linksys
network card.  I'll try to come up with the exact error message.

The first thing I would check would be to see whether your fan has locked
up. I have seen drives freeze up like this because the power supply fan
went kaput and the hard drive literally baked to death.

If that's the case, the hard drive is probably on its last legs after all
that torture. If not... well... it still sounds like your hard drive
is on its last legs :-(. Sorry I couldn't give you any good news there :-(.

Thank You. I didn't know that.


Now, that's why I deem it discourteous to trim text: I don't think my
previous message was "irrelevant nonsense". You may beg to differ. But
if so, please point out _precisely_ what of what I said WAS, in fact,
nonsense, and please justify it. I like to learn new things, especially
if they contradict my heretofore held convictions. Nothing worse (for
me, anyway) than certainty one's right, when one isn't. 
  For Your convenience, I will quote my previous post verbatim. PLEASE
break at any point I write nonsense and tell me why is it so.

Well, allright: IBM makes AIX, which I actually love immensely. But You
walk into almost any bank and You won't see too many AIX boxes (with
exception of SP-2's), or other **IX boxes. What You'll see will be
UNISYS XPM3800 series (love the -82!), S/390, Tandem (and NOT the SGI's
OEM'd boxes). Same in power companies. Same in baggage handling
facilities. And so on.... What does it mean? Not that *IX is worse OS,
just that it's not suitable for some tasks. Like OLTP. What that means,
in turn, is that some companies shoot for that niche. You shouldn't look
at IBM as a one company - they are not. Thay all feed off IBM's brand
recognition and size economies (common sales, etc), but that's pretty
much all. OK, You can call 1-800-IBM-SERV and get service for any IBM
product, be it Aptiva or S/390, but that does not mean You're dealing
with the same organisation in all those cases. In fact the AIX group
(and RS6k group) are completely seperated from, say, OS/2 group (yes, it
still exists). I ,don't care about their common name: they're a separate
company from the S/390 people. Or CPU design and fab people.
  Now, that niche also has some specialised players: like UNISYS. They
make their OS2200 and market it quite succesfully, along with the HW it
supports. I looked: they don't see to be making any **IX OS, even though
they DO support their products on various flavours of it.
  Correct me if I'm wrong: I thought the definition of "last" included
that there's NO other. Also, Your original statement did NOT include the
"major" quallifier. Which is good, as ho do You define "major".

> The last holdout is Microsoft:  every other major OS vendor (including

See above about the "major" difficulty I have. Plus a vendor is someone
who sells, not necesserily makes, a product. So You seems to be
broadening the domain QUITE a bit... Was that intended?

15 Years ago they weren't weird: they just were. Unix was than "weird"
(by the day's standards), and, generally speaking, a bet on the future
going in certain direction, with VERY little security or ways to
introduce it. That's why "the Enterprise" didn't take to it in
overwhelming numbers.

> The exception: Microsoft.
> 

Not the only one, as I'm trying to show. BTW, You seem to be mellowing
Your original statement: it seemed to say MS was the _only_ exception.
Now we have addition of "major", domain broadening with "vendor" and
weakening withlack of "only". Am I to assume "Among companies selling
OSs, Microsoft is an exception in that it doesn't sell any unix-based
OS"? If that's the correct way to read "the last holdout from basing
their systems on Unix concepts is Microsoft", forgive me, as English is
not my mother tongue. 
  I would also suggest we move to e-mail (if You wish to continue, as
our discussion doesn't have a lot to do with this thread...

Likely the chip on your card as an Avance Logic ALS120.  This is a PnP
device, and must be either awakened and initalized with its DOS utility 
before warm-booting to Linux, or using the Linux Plug-n-Play utility (which
I've not tried yet myself).  The chip supposedly emulates a Sounblaster 16
mostly, so just installing for that seems to work for basic sound
functions. (See the readmen on the ALS100, a similar chip, in the Linux
/drivers/sound source dir.

I have been unable to get midi/FM files to play.  I believe this because
the Linux sound configuration for a separate MPU401 IRQ seems to ignore
that value even though you can ask for it, and it looks like the card needs
it on a separate IRQ than a pure SoundBlaster.  Be sure to tell Linux the
same port and IRQ parameters you use under DOS.  There is also some info on
the chip at www.avance.com (which seems somehow tied to RealTek).   Since
I've just started digging into making this card work in a box here, that's
about all I can tell you so far.

Hi Michael,

    Another poster said to check your cooling fan.  This is good advice.
A problem I have noticed with some drives is that Linux does not always
see the correct geometry.  I have a Maxtor 6GB drive in one of my boxes
that has 826 cylinders, 255 heads, 63 sectors/track (in LBA mode).  Linux
sees the correct size but the geometry is very different (16 heads).  I
always use fdisk (not diskdruid) because of the (v)erify option.  This
checks for mistakes in the partition settings before you commit them to
disk.  Make sure that fdisk sees the same numbers that are reported by
your BIOS other wise you will have some strange problems.  This is
especially likely if you create more than one partition on the drive.  If
the numbers don't match, you can use the 'expert ' options in fdisk to
change the numbers of cylinders, heads, and sectors to match the nubers
in the BIOS.  If this does not apply to your setup, you may just have a
bad drive.

I am running linux on a laptop with clgd7548 video chipset. I've noticed
a couple of
problems and was wondering if anyone else has anything similar

1) If I softboot from win95 to linux and run x I get a very peculiar
display. Its as if
    everything has been split by horizontal lines and the screen does
not update.
    As you move windows around the screen gets more and more of a mess.
If i
    switch the computer off before booting to linux x works fine.

2) After running x for a while i start to get horizontal lines
flickering across the display.
    I wonder if this is a temperature related problem. They are worst
when I have window
    open with lots of white colour in it. This does not occure in win95.

thanks

Hi.
You must install Xfree 3.3.3, that cames with Suse 6.0. The server you
must use is SVGA. If you configure the Xfree with XF86Setup you must
choose Riva TNT in the list of cards and SVGA in the driver.
I have the S320 work in linux perfectly.
