Hello,
type this at the lilo prompt: mem=128M
Read the lilo manual, it will help you further.

You don't really need PM to do that. It would probably make it prettier
though. At home we were triple booting Linux/Win95/NT. Lilo was on the MBR
and would boot Linux or "DOS". Selecting DOS would then take you into the
NT bootloader, where you can select between win95 and NT. Yeah, PM
probably makes this a lit simpler and nicer.
One note of interest: NT can't read FAT32 (yet?) and Win 9x can't read
NTFS, but Linux can read them all! :)
Oh yes, we're merely amatuers...

one of the later changes (maybe 1007 or 1008) one combination of printer

What exactly do you mean by "nags"? Could you clarify that up?
I'm having a strange problem. Well, the problem is that the stereo
separation gets garbled up and sound drift from left to right and vice
versa according to the frequency.

Subject: Getting LP ports to use IRQ's
Date: Mon, 24 May 1999 01:38:19 -0400
Hello, all.
I seem to be having some difficulty getting the LPT ports in my system to=
use
interrupts, rather than letting them run in polling mode.
My system has two ECP parallel ports, configured as follows...
lp0: I/O=3D0x378, IRQ=3D7, DMA=3D1
lp1: I/O=3D0x278, IRQ=3D11, DMA=3D3
(IRQ5, normally used by a second LPT port, is used by my sound card, so I=
chose
to use 11 for the second port)
Output of "dmesg" looks like this...
parport0: PC-style at 0x378 [SPP,ECP,ECPPS2]
parport1: PC-style at 0x278 [SPP,ECP,ECPP,ECPPS2]
parport0: Multimedia device, Connectix QuickCam VC
parport1: Printer, EPSON Stylus COLOR 640
lp0: using parport0 (polling)
lp1: using parport1 (polling)
(The VC is only used under "that other operating system")
Attempts to use the `tunelp <device> -i <IRQ>` command consistently yield=
the
following output (regardless of which port I am trying to configure)..
tunelp: ioctl: Invalid argument
/dev/lpX using IRQ -1
My kernel (2.2.9 on RedHat 6.0) is built with module support, and all lp =
and
PC-style parallel port-related support is built as modules. Also, "Auto-=
probe
for parallel devices" is enabled as a module, under "Plug and Play suppor=
t".
My /etc/conf.modules is rather generic with regard to the parallel
ports, with only the following relevant entry present...
alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc
The following modules are loaded (in this order) from /etc/rc.d/rc.module=
s...
/sbin/modprobe parport
/sbin/modprobe parport_probe
/sbin/modprobe parport_pc
/sbin/modprobe lp
The output of `lsmod` looks like this (only the relevant modules are show=
n)
lp 5116 0
parport_pc 5588 2 (autoclean)
parport_probe 2980 0
parport 7156 2 [lp parport_pc parport_probe]
I have tried various "options" statements in /etc/conf.modules, to force =
the
appropriate settings, but so far I have had no luck. Perhaps I'm just ge=
tting
tired (it IS after 2:00AM here - LOL)
Would any one of you happen to have some experience with this, that you m=
ight
point me in the right direction? The HOWTOs don't seem to offer much in =
this
regard (though I was able to find out a bit about the tunelp command). I=
would
like to reduce system overhead during the printing of large files, and
IRQ-driven printing should be faster at this than polling. (Well, as fas=
t as
an inkjet can go, anyway) ;>
As a side-note, neither interrupt shows up in `cat /proc/interrupts`, nor=
does
either DMA channel under `cat /proc/dma`. I dont really care about the D=
MA
stuff, but I would like to get the interrupts to "wake up". (No, there a=
re no
hardware conflicts with other devices in my system.)
Any help would be most appreciated.

I was just playing around with the sound on my machine and finally got
it working. I have the same card, but I couldn't tell you what I
actually did. Do you have Gnome? If so, run the audio mixer and turn
up the volumes. You may also have to turn down the volume in Windows.
Apparently that was the main problem because I had the soundFX but
couldn't here a CD play. After changing the levels I can play CD's now
too (with GnomeCD - I still have to work on x11amp).
Anyways, I've attached the various files that may help.

Subject: AWE64 ISAPNP Problems
Date: Mon, 24 May 1999 05:43:03 GMT
I am running kernel 2.3.2, and I have been trying to get the soundcard
working for a long time. Here is a short history
2.2.5:Bios=setupfornonPNPos's, it would only detect the soundcard at the
correct dma channels and ports, but the synth device was not detected
and I forgot to compile in ppp support (this explains why I did not
stick with 2.2.5
2.2.7:The only kernel on my system at this time I feel like compiling.
Basically, nothing I do works, pnpdumb(<--notatypo) DOESN'T EVEN DETECT
THE CARD. the funny thing is that running the old kernel at the said
bus settings worked. (yes the sb module is configured in conf.modules)
2.3.2:I got smart and began to play with the bios extensively. I have
figured out a new problem now. I set the bios to be set up for PNP
operating systems (which took care of the card being partly configured
to begin with) and run isapnp again with the conf file set up correctly
(No interrupt or ioport or dma problems). OK, now the second logical
device (LD 2) is failing the LD-readback check performed by isapnp
before it sets the ioports. SO I set the VERIFYLD N. now isapnp runs
happily but when I try to load the awe_wave module insmod gives a
segmentation fault. But the rest of the soundcard works. (the game port
and the normal sound, x11amp works :)). I have given up recompiling the
kernel, I have compiled it with and without pnp supprt and the result is
the same. The worst part-WINDOWS RUNS THE CARD JUST FINE!!! !@#@!#!.
Any ideas?

Subject: Keyboard, Video, Mouse (KVM) Switchbox problems
Date: Mon, 24 May 1999 01:40:03 -0500
Has anyone had any success finding a KVM switch that works between Win98 and
RedHat 6.0 machines? (ps/2 mouse and keyboard) I have tried 2 manual
switches. Took them both back because they would lose the keyboard or mouse
after a few switches. Just bought a Belkin OmniCube 2-port electronic
switch. It seems pretty nice and works fine with the Win98 box but only the
keyboard works for the Linux box. After startx, neither the keyboard or
mouse will work. All I can do is telnet in and shutdown.
Has anybody else seen these problems, found solutions, or have any ideas?

If you've got Linux, why not just use LILO? There's no need to invest in
third party software.
