I'm not at the right machine at the moment, but I've got one of these

Upgrade the kernel to 2.0.36 or higher, during the config script turn
on IDE FLOPPY support. I was having the same problem as you were until I
upgraded. Once the kernel supports it, the drive is /dev/hd(x)4 mounted on
/mnt/zip (which you will have to create). I believe the x is dependent on
the ide channel it's on. For example, my zip drive is hdd4 because it is
set to secondary slave. Good luck and email me if you need any help.

That might be why some people have created ease of use
applets for such things and why apps that need to can
change the resolution on thier own.

I'll check on the sound card. Actually, I seem to remember on Gateway's
intranet, there was some helpful information about Linux configuration
with that sound card. Have you tried a generic Soundblaster driver? (I
never really tried setting up the sound card.)
Linux on my Toshiba laptop (335CDS) didn't work too well. I had problems
getting my Zip drive to work. And my modem and my sound card too. I
quit. I'm just going to save money and get a preconfigured, precompiled
system such as the ones offered by VARESEARCH.
Troubleshooting Linux was fun on both computers but I'd rather use it then
have to fight it to get things to work. I kinda have a new respect for
Windows as a result of my Linux experience.
By the way, what does the program XF86Setup do? Has anyone successfully
used this to troubleshoot their X Windows?
Also, when I was battling X Windows configurations I often had to restart
the computer when the screen was unreadable or when I wasn't able to quit
normally. A better way is to do an Alt-F1 to get back to the console and
then do a CTRL-C. That quits X-Windows without having to restart the
system. If anyone knows a better way, please let me know. My next
project is installing Linux on a G6-450. I'm not sure of the specs right
now.
The only problem is that because I don't smoke cigarettes anymore, I can't
relieve my Linux frustrations like I used to. And I already pulled all my
hair out. Hmm...maybe I should throw all my Linux books out the window or
something.
Someone should do a study to see how many people in the world have had
their weekends eaten up by Linux.

Hefin,
Our current system is dual P2/350MHz on a SuperMicro P6DBS board, runs
great. We are using the intel pro/100, it also is great. We run a
distributed Oracle database and not a lick of problems. Averaging over
10GB/wk between the servers without a problem.
The local
university has 6 linux servers, including a full feed news server, all
using the intel card on dual
pentium/233s and have not had one problem. Very stable.
Good luck,
Daniel

Subject: can't get dial tone on modem
Date: 19 Mar 1999 20:24:41 GMT
I'm having difficulty configuring my modem. I'm running Red Hat Linux
5.2. I have a U.S. Robotics 56K Voice Internal PnP modem. It is
located on COM2 with I/O Range: 02F8-02FF and Interrupt: 03. This is
not a winmodem
What ever I do, I can't seem to get dial tone (I'm assuming I should get
dial tone since the speaker on the modem is not connected to my sound
card, which I haven't configured yet).
I boot linux using a floppy disk and everything else is on my second
hard drive.
When I login as root, I make sure to see that the software is configured:
[root@localhost /root]# grep -i "TCP/IP" /var/log/messages
Mar 14 13:41:25 localhost kernel: Swansea University Computer Society
TCP/IP for NET3.034
I then load the ppp stuff:
[root@localhost /root]# insmod slhc
[root@localhost /root]# insmod ppp
[root@localhost /root]# grep -i "PPP" /var/log/messages
Mar 14 13:52:55 localhost kernel: PPP: version 2.2.0 (dynamic channel
allocation)
Mar 14 13:52:55 localhost kernel: PPP Dynamic channel allocation code
copyright 1995 Caldera, Inc.
Mar 14 13:52:55 localhost kernel: PPP line discipline registered.
I then run minicom with the serial device set as: /dev/ttyS1 I then try
to initialize the modem in minicom but I can't seem to get dial tone.
What am I missing?
thanks,
Mike

I have as mentioned in a previous post a 4MB PCI Rage Pro card, I have

setting. How do I change it to run at true colour? Is there a setting I
need in the config file or is there a command line switch to with STARTX?

RedHat 5.2 already incorporate that server?

I didn't say otherwise. I specifically stayed out of the CPU type/number
debate. All I said was that there are contexts in which turnaround is
not correlated to throughput and in those contexts all the user cares
about is turnaround. I was, in fact, merely countering the suggestion
that anything that improves throughput is automatically a good thing.

Date: 19 Mar 1999 20:24:45 GMT
Thanks to both Kyle and Lance.
I got the zip drive working finally, using kernel 2.2.3.
I was using the 250MB disk supplied by iomega. It was partitioned and
preformatted. So it was not a problem with the disk as Lance suggested.
I also had the scsi device files setup in /dev (/dev/sda*, /dev/sdb* etc).
So it could only be the driver problem.
I got linux kernel 2.2.3 from www.linuxhq.com and compiled it. It has
a more recent version of imm driver (0.2x) as opposed to the 0.18
I was using with kernel 2.0.36. I got the 0.18 version from
http://www.torque.net/~campbell
But I don't think you should get imm v0.18. Kernel 2.2.3 has in-built
support for imm 0.2. I mean, you can select imm support while configuring
the kernel.
It took me 3-4 kernel compiles to get everything right. For my micron
millennia pc with pentium II 450, I had to select the following:
general setup -> parallel port support (parport.o),
pc style hardware support (parport_pc.o)
scsi -> scsi support, scsi disk support
Elsewhere, it had an option for ppa or imm drivers. I selected imm.
The kernel probes the parallel port while booting. To do this and detect
the port type correctly, it needs parport.o and parport_pc.o precompiled
into the kernel. They should not be modules.
Then imm driver (also compiled into the kernel) detected the drive correctly.
The disk was assigned to sda and the partition check identified sda4
as expected for windows formatted zip disk.
Another tip, kernel 2.2.3 was too big to be make a zImage file even though
I selected minimal support. You can save a few minutes if you do
make bzImage instead of make zImage.

Hi,
I have two basic questions:
Kernel: 2.0.36-3
1) I have an Alps MD-4000 printer/scanner. I know the scanner isn't
supported and I know Alps doesn't officially support Linux (they'll come
around sooner or later). I was told that others have gotten their Alps
printers to work under Linux using the postscript driver. I tried it
but just got postscript garbage on print out. If this has successfully
done, could you let me know the trick?
2) I have a SoundBlaster PNP Awe32 sound card. I got it installed, ran
sndconfig and I can play cd's and .wav/.au files. On boot up I see the
error:
Soundblaster audio driver ...
SB 4.13 detected OK (220)
AWE32-0.4.2c (RAM8192k)
sh /sbin/sfxload: no such file or directory
failed ... /lib/modules/2.0.36/misc/awe_wave.o
sound: device or resource busy
and when I try to play midi (I installed the kernel patch) I can see
it's playing a file but I don't hear anything.
Anyone got any thoughts?
TIA,
Nicci

I have no idea if this card is supported right now -- have a look at
http://users.bart.nl/~patrickr/hardware-howto/Hardware-HOWTO.html
for example or maybe the XFree homepage ( I don't know right now but
yahoo should be able to help).
Then get the right XFree-driver for the card and install it.
(There are Readme file coming along with the executable.)
If you are sure you have the right driver and it will still not work
have a look at ~/.X.err and ~/.X.out -- maybe this is enlightening.
keep trying,

Mar 7 17:20:58 beru dhclient: bound to 195.13.22.166 -- renewal in 600
seconds.
Mar 7 17:21:14 beru kernel: ip_rewrite_addrs(): shifting saddr from
195.13.22.166 to 127.0.0.1 (state 2)
I went through all what I could think of (including HOWTOs), this is giving
me a headache.
Where should I look?
What services MUST be started at boot (maybe I forgot something)?
Is there some sort of "binding" I should take care of?
Else?
This is maybe obvious for you pros, but remember: NEWBIE is my name ;(
Any hints would be appreciated!!!
Cheers, amities, groetjes,
Beru

Sorry, complex systems require training. Even simple systems
require training.
You think a fantastic GUI will solve everything? Think again...
You should have seen MY mom the first time we put a mouse in her

Macs still only have there one stupid mouse button...
On the flip side, she actually didn't have nearly as much trouble
with key assignments. Sure, she had to write them down at first,
but before long she memorized all that she needed (change windows,
print, etc). She still however, can't double click anything to safe
her life. Just targeting menu items is honestly a problem, and
actually hurts her. -Her arthritis acts up quickly with the mouse at
all, but simple typing is ok.

And work in this area is progressing at an extreme rate. See the
GNOME project (www.gnome.org).
I first installed it simply to run Balsa, but after 5 minutes I was
hooked. Windows et al won't be lasting long on the desktop if GNOME
keeps advancing at anything close to the rate it currently is.

if you can hack the celeron to SMP and even overclock it, it can BLOW AWAY the
p-pro.
my work system (previous job) was the 512k ppro200 with 256meg edo ram.
my home system is a dual celeron 300a o/c at 450. the compile time on the
recent kernel (keeping build options the same on both systems) was:
single ppro 200/512k = 8 minutes
dual cel 450/128k = 2 minutes
single cel 450/128k = 4 minutes
so the celeron system is about twice as fast as the ppro, doing the same
kernel build.
I was shocked how long the 2.2 kernel took to build on the ppro. and that
chip alone was about $1k and the mobo was about $600 or so, just 2 yrs ago ;-)

Nothing wrong with any of the BSD O/S's but in my opinion the popularity
of linux offers more support.
