The XFree86 project doesn't support the i740 chipset (yet), because
Intel didn't release the specs until quite recently. (c.f. Q.F16 of
the XFree86 FAQ <http://www.xfree86.org/FAQ/#i740>)
Red Hat has developed an X-server for the i740. It is an XBF server,
available in binary formats only. You may download it from
<ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/XBF> or other Red Hat mirror sites (see
<http://www.redhat.com/mirrors.html>; not all mirror sites mirror the
XBF directory).

I've been thinking about backup tools myself, and one other advantage
of using CD-ROM compatible backups: if your system dies completely,
almost any computer you have access to can read the backup. If you
get a tape drive, you might have to buy *another* tape drive to read
the backups if your system fails catastrophically enough (e.g.
lightning strike or fire).

If you have a RedHat system you can enable 'debug connection' from linuxconf. If

I would say so as well. On my system, I had to disable the secondary
IDE channel to free up an interrupt for my second SCSI card (a 1542B,
which works fine jumpered for IRQ15)
Unfortunately, you don't seem to have a second IDE channel. You might
want to double-check your motherboard BIOS settings to make sure your
one channel is configured properly as a primary channel (I/O ports
1F0-1F7 and 3F6; IRQ 14)
I think I/O 220 conflicts with most sound cards as well.
If you have Win95 installed, its hardware manager (right-click on the
"My Computer" icon) is a good way to see what's in use. Pull up the
properties on every device and record the resource usage from all the
devices. There should be no overlap between any of them.
> IMHO Redhat likes to find everything in the usual place and is

Depends on what driver. I don't seem to have any problems with one SCSI
adapter using the IRQ normally used by my (disabled) IDE channels.
Also note that not all drivers can auto-detect card configurations. You
might have to provide some parameters to it.

Double-check your termination.
If the host adapter is configured for auto-termination, try manually
setting it. Both the high and low components of the bus should be
terminated if you're only using one device on it.
Check your cable lengths. Compare them against the maximum lengths for
the bus speed. If the drive is running as a fast- or fast-wide device,
the limit is 6m (about 19.6' or 236"). If the drive is running as an
ultra-SCSI device, the limit is 3m (about 9.8' or 118"). If the drive
is running as an ultra-wide device, the limit is 1.5m (about 4.9' or
59"). If you exceed (or even come close to, with some cables and host
adapters) this limit, you will have flaky behavior.
If the device is an Ultra2 device (which is unlikely, given that it's a
tape drive), then your cable length limit is a generous 12m (over 39'),
thanks to the LVD signals.
Check your cable quality. Some cheap cables can lose signal to the
point of causing spurious errors.
If your device is wide (or ultra-wide), you may want to consider a
twisted-pair ribbon cable - these are required for the new Ultra3 spec,
and can improve Ultra2 signal quality as well. I don't know if they'll
help wide- and ultra-wide operation, but it can't hurt.

If your BIOS doesn't have this option, try telling your BIOS that you
have no IDE drive installed (but don't disable the controller!). This
should tell the motherboard to not try booting the IDE device.
If you do this, you will require a device driver to access the IDE
drive, since the BIOS will not know it exists. This should only be a
concern if you use DOS. All other operating systems you're likely to
use provide their own IDE device drivers.
Of course, your SCSI controller will require a boot ROM. Not all have
them.

Thing is, that makes an exact image of the partition. Not what you want

ISA irqs (scanned) = 3,4,7,9,11 status change on irq 11

This mentions irq 10, which isn't listed above. According to my

to my bios, irq 5 is used for both my audio and mpeg-2 interrupts.
Does anyone know why these aren't listed? I don't currently use

No way. Celerons and Pentium Processors are not the same thing.
FX chipset is 430 FX. Dual FX boards will only take specific Pentium
chips (watch out for the chipset). You cannot put a Celeron in a Pentium
mobo.
440LX is the earliest chipset to support PIIs. You can install PPGA
Celerons in them using Slotkets.
Abit is coming out with the ABIT BP6 board which should support dual
celeons in Socket 370 form factor. Will be probably be cheap.

Check your permissions on /var/spool/* also try printing as root instead
of as a user and see if that makes a difference. Did you use printtool to do
the install or do it by hand? I let printtool handle things the last time I
did a printer install and it worked out pretty well.

To the best of my knowledge, if the driver for the SCSI card is
supported, you should be OK with the hard drive setup.

I have the same card (for my CDR). Trying to getting it to work with
Linux, I read some where that the card needs to have a BIOS ( ROM with
firmware ) in order for Linux to work with it. - then my quest ended.
