Problem: install SUSE 5.3 with SCSI ADAPTEC 1505 AVA.
Hi,
I am trying to install SuSE 5.3 on a new PC
with 2 SCSI CD-ROMS. The SCSI controller is
an ADAPTEC 1505 AVA.
When I boot to DOS all the SCSI drivers get loaded
and I get the following info:
PORT = 0x140
IRQ LEVEL = 10
SCSI ID = 7
Then I start the install of Linux
and the install procedure lets me
enter boot parameters.
I did the following:
aha2x=0x140,10,7,0
this is what all the SCSI howto's tell me anyway.
but still suse does not detect my CDROM.
I there anybody who can help.
Maybe send me a boot disk that worked for them
or another solution.
I would be a real shame that my new 400Mhz pc
should only have win98 on it.
My regards, Joe

So far, I have only heard from one person regarding use of a single
Celeron in the DK, and that was without success.
Another person said that I'd probably need to use a cacheless Celeron
since the DK motherboard can only accept CPUs with 0K or 512K cache.
According to Tmack <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:

I am aware of this. I am not interested in setting up a SMP system.
I want the DK motherboard because because it has a fairly decent SCSI
controller on-board, and given the price of the MB, you almost get the
SCSI for free. It is enough of a deal to fork out for a PII, but I'd
really *prefer* to just slap a single Celeron in.

I would suggest an upgrade to Ghostscript verion 5.10 or 5.50 just as
a matter of course. I doubt that the ljet4 driver has been changed in
any big way, but it never hurts to have the improved Postscript
support offered by the latest Ghostscript version.

This printer is indeed listed as being slow in the compatibiliy list*;
the comment says "seems to be limited by parallel port speeds/speed of
host computer".
Ghostscript will always render a page then dump it to the printer as a
bitmap; this is how Postscript programs are structured and this is how
all Postscript implementations work (those inside printers do not face
a bottleneck, however, between themselves at the printer mechanism).
Dvilj is not limited to dumping one page at a time in bitmap form;
although I don't know much about it, it would be reasonable for dvilj
to be defining fonts as downloadable PCL fonts and then printing each
page by just telling the printer to put each character in the proper
place. This would typically result in less data...

Now this I'm not aware of. I'm not quite clear on what you are
describing, though - what do you mean by displaced lines, and what
sort of graphics - vector graphics or embedded bitmapped pictures?

The you had a bad install, or were trying to install things that
required stuff you simply don't have.
I install on average, 4 Linux boxes a week (m-f), all with redhat. Never
have I encountered problem you describe.
<rant_on>
If you install something woth a tarball, and it requires something you
_simply_don't_have_ it will not function.
A dependency means somehting needs or is needed by a particular thing.
if you are trying to remove a package, and somehting else requires it,
when would you like to know, before or after you remove the required
item?
IN MSland, when you delete a dll, and somehting requires it, what is to
stop you? if it is in use, MS won't let you remove it. if not, goodbye,
it's gone. Your app that required that dll is now dead. For example, if
you have LyX, you have xforms. LyX requires Xforms, whether you use a
tarball/rpm/dpkg/whatever. If you try to remove the xforms rpm, it will
tell you no, you need it for LyX. then, if you *wan't* to, you can break
LyX and remove it with --nodeps or --force. In Mickeysoft land, you are
on your own, and probably would have broken LyX, then tried to run it
later and it would fail. Then you would sitting there scratching your
head wonder what broke it.
On installs, when you try to install LyX, if you don't have XForms, it
will say no, install XForms first. Why is this bad?? If you (could)
install lyx w/o xforms, it won't work. Then you would be bitching about
how something should have told you that you needed something else. To
make a mess of your dependencies requires deliberate, conscious action
through the use of --force and --nodeps.

Subject: Midi on CS423x w/2.0.36
Date: 19 Mar 1999 14:03:15 GMT
Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Does anyone have Midi working on a CS4232 family chip with kernel 2.0.36
(driver version 3.5.4) ? The notes in Readme.cards are a little
confusing. I take them to mean that Midi should work, but not to use
MPU401 mode.
When I enabled MPU401 in xconfig, I got an unbootable kernel, so that
seems right. Now, I have MPU401 off, and Midi on. One problem is that
the xconfig dialog expects me to supply an IRQ for the Midi interface,
but according to the Plug'n'Play utilities diskette for my PC (Dell
OptiPlex GXa), the Midi chip doesn't consume an IRQ, just an I/O
address. I put IRQ 9 which I know is free. (When I put IRQ 5, the same
as the sound driver, I got a conflict message at boot time.)
The sound system claims to be CS4236, but I suppose this is compatible
with CS4232.
The various Midi players are happy to start, it's just that nothing
comes out.

Ok, you can use dd to write the tar image to the CD under Linux, sort of
treating the CD as a tape drive. Hm, I wonder if you can do a tar -f
/dev/scd?.
Do you have to "pre-format" the CD using something like cd-roast before doing
this?

Subject: RedHat 5.2 on a IBM ThinkPad 770E
Date: 19 Mar 1999 14:03:24 GMT
I am trying to install Red Hat 5.2(Cheapbytes cd version) onto my ThinkPad
770E and have ran into nothing but problems doing so. The first wrinkle I
have ran into is the fact that I have a floppy drive and a dvd drive that can
only be used one at a time...an either/or type thing. My machine has 2 1.95
gig partitions and a 800 meg partition. First of all...I decided I would do
a floppyless install using the ezstart.bat on the root of the cd-rom. This
plan was foiled when I would boot to DOS and I was not allowed to access my
DVD drive. I would type f: at the c prompt and would get invalid drive
letter...or something similar. I decided then to boot back into windows and
copy the cd-rom to my c drive. I created a directory on C called Redhat and
copied the contents of the entire cd to it. I had made the supplemental and
boot disks earlier so I already had them. I powered down the ThinkPad..and
changed out the DVD and floppy drive. I put the boot disk in and powered up
the machine. The machine booted off the disk and I went into expert mode and
proceeded just like normal. I decided to install to that 800 meg partition so
I went about using linux fdisk to blow away the dos partition on it and set
up a linux native and linux swap partition on it. I then established my
mount points for my other 2 dos drives and for my root partition. The next
screen wanted to know where to find the files for the install. I knew they
were on c:\ in the Redhat directory so i chose /dev/hda1 and then tabbed down
and entered Redhat on the line and then tabbed to OK. I then got a message
that the install files could not be found at the location specified. It
wouldn't find them no matter what I did. Any ideas?

This is too 'difficult' and the 3rd party applets aren't
'bundled in'.

Subject: Sony Monitor Setup
Date: 19 Mar 1999 14:04:37 GMT
Hi,
I just got a new 17in Sony MultiScan 200ES along with a Creative
Labs Graphics Blaster Riva TNT video card. I'd like to run at 1280x1024
resolution, but I want to use all the available refresh capability of
the monitor. The specs give it 30-70k kHz horizontal and 50-120 kHz
vertical. XFree86 gives three ready-to-go 1280x1024 modes, but the only
one that is below 70 kHz horizontal is also only 60 kHz vertical (thus
causing a slight flicker). Can anyone tell me the mode parameters
I should use in order to run at 1280x1024 with a good vertical refresh
rate?
Thanks
Tom
