Subject: Problem with Iomega ZIP.
Date: Sat, 29 May 1999 09:28:56 +0200
HI, I've installed RedHat 6.0 (kernel 2.2.5) and now I've some trouble
with my parallel port Zip.
With my old version of Red Hat (5.2) I've only to do "insmod ppa" from a
root account and then to mount the correct sda device (4 for Dos disks
or 1 for Linux disks).
Now when do "insmod ppa" I get a list of errors:
/lib/modules/2.2.5-15/scsi/ppa.o: unresolved symbol
parport_claim_Rcca15f23
/lib/modules/2.2.5-15/scsi/ppa.o: unresolved symbol
parport_register_device_R064ebecf
/lib/modules/2.2.5-15/scsi/ppa.o: unresolved symbol
parport_unregister_device_R3618c96f
/lib/modules/2.2.5-15/scsi/ppa.o: unresolved symbol
parport_enumerate_R648d1e26
/lib/modules/2.2.5-15/scsi/ppa.o: unresolved symbol
parport_release_R4430d136
I've seen that a new module is loaded by kernel (parport), so I suppose
that I have not to to "insmod ppa" and just mount but it doesn't work!
How can I do? Where can I found some documentation on that?
Thanks a lot and Best regards
Luca Satolli

A user problem. :-) Go into the BIOS and disable APM. If you removed
the Compaq partition, or it is not in Lilo, you can boot off an F10 Setup
disk from the compaq website.

in /etc/conf.modules write:
alias scsi_hostadapter aha152x
option aha152x aha152x=0x140,12,7
where it is " aha152x=i/o-adress , irq , scsi-id "
it will now scan the bus for devices and map them to the devices in /dev
e.g. /dev/scd0 for a cd-player/writer and /dev/sda0 for a disk
this works for my ava-1515 which is allmost the same.
it only has a bios, but that doesn't matter here, becuase it is disabled

Hi
perhaps that should be lo :(

/dev/hdb1 will be the same as /dev/hda1 in size
though I think it is in the win9x thing
The reason for it being the same is so that
I can cat from one to the other the entire
partition.
I was absolutely astonished when this worked.
This is the reason the drives are identical.
This is not the reason for the present
problem as this operation has not been
needed since swapping boot drives in bios
is enough to kid dos/win.
Most of the others are paired 400M connors.

/dev/hdb3 Linux swap size is as close to 128M
as I could get but <128M

This is not new it has been running for a long
time.
So
Possibilities
Genuine hard disk failure
Are these disks prone to failure ?
Is the disposal of hard drives formally known
as "IBM-DTTA-351010, 9671MB w/466kB Cache"
likely to become an enviromental problem :)
Cos I got another one.
A low level format has been attempted
I have seen similar output from fdisk
after this was done. Though whether
another prob would produce it I do not know
A malicious attack cannot be ruled out
though it would have to have come from
within linux as the dos partitions
have not been fired up for a long time.
WetWareStupidity.The value of this variable can grow
exp^H^H^Hquickly
Divine intervention: See alt.binaries.pictures.erotic*
The identity string is fu^H^Hcorrupted
IIRC ide drives report what the bios
needs to hear to get under a limit
255 heads probably.
If this is the case would it be repairable as
a disk.
I think that to hope for the safe return of the
data is a bit too much to ask santa for.
If it cannot be got back to it's original
size is it possible to format it at a size that
will be acceptable by the bios and at least get
some real estate out of the deal.
I have a saved locatedb dated prior to the disaster
I forgot -p on copying and lost the date
it is at max 2 days old though.
So I do know what has gone (so far I have not looked)
The difference between the filesizes of the old and new
locatedb's is quite nasty enough for the moment.

this is because you'll have to help linux find it...
in /etc/conf.modules type:
alias scsi_hostadapter aha152x

where aha152x=i/o-adress,irq,id
this works fine for my ava-1515 which is more or less the same model

I have two of those cards, working happily with the new kernels
(from 2.2.5 to 2.2.9). Your problem may be related to some kind
of conflict bewteen the bare driver and the rest of the kernel.
Why not upgrade the whole kernel to 2.2.9 -- the 2.2.x series
is much faster and 3c905 is supported by 3c59x driver, included with
the kernel sources and working flawlessly.

Did you say *ISA*? You know: modern HD's do up to 12 and more MB/sec.
ISA does only 2-3 MB/sec!!!!

Hi!

I'm sure the answer is in the other posts of this thread, so I'm just
parroting.
First of all the BIOS is partially at fault. While it does detect all
128M, the standard BIOS memory reporting scheme only allowed a max of 64M.
BIOS manufacturers updated to a new call.
This is where 2.0.35 fails. It uses the old call, instead of the new one
hence the 64M report.
Two easy ways to fix. The first and best is to get and compile a 2.2 kernel.
First because it does the right call to get all the memory. Second because
it's flat out better than the last 2.0 kernels.
Second is to add an "append=mem=128M" line in your /etc/lilo.conf and rerun
LILO.
And lastly, did you search www.deja.com for this question? It's almost
continously posted and I'm sure you'd have gotten about a million hits.
Hope this helps,

As I understand it, this option should only be enabled if you run Win95/8
and no other operating systems on the machine in question.
This option tells the BIOS not to configure all the PnP devices itself as
the O/S will do it itself. If it is disabled then Win95/8 may not be able
to override choices made by the BIOS.

Subject: APM an Xircom Network Card
Date: Sat, 29 May 1999 05:55:10 -0600
Greetings,
I've got a Latop (Digital HiNote 2000) running Linux (RH 6.0) 2.2.5
kernel. Everything is fine except that when the APM modules goes to
sleep mode it takes out the network card (Xircom 10/100 - 56 K combo)and
never lets it back. Even a network -stop, -start combo will not let me
get network back though it restores fine after a full reboot. Is this a
known bug? Has anybody got a patch or work around? I'd hate to disable
APM but that may be the only choice.
Thanks as always.
