I have an Intel EV motherboard with an integrated soundcard based on Vibra 16S
chipset. How can I make working this soundcard? HOWTOs assert that it's
compatible with SB16, but in my case this isn't true: it appears totally
inexisting to kernel.

Date: Sun, 30 May 1999 14:12:24 GMT
The Hardware-HOWTO mentions a module called ide-tape. However, this is the only
documentation I can find anywhere about this. Can anybody share with us how to use
this? Does it make the IDE tape look like a SCSI, floppy interface tape or
something else?
A more broad question is where do you find information on any module? There are a
whole bunch of them and the information seems to be scattered among HOWTO's and
web sites.
Thanks.

I'm using the Mylex BT-950 Flashpoint SCSI Adapter in 2 PCs, with IBM
DCAS 4.1 GB on the 16-bit side and a Plextor CDROM on the 8-bit side.
Kernel is 2.0.36. Works for me without any problems for more than 18
months.On Fri, 28 May 1999 17:52:10 GMT, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:

Check target 2 (whatever device that may be), the controller has some
problems with that device: termination? Active termination is allways
better than passive termination.
Per default the Mylex controller automatically sets the termination on
the adapter side. This feature works with Mylex controllers, but not
with Adaptec controllers. Maybe you should set the adapter's termination
manually.
In case you have another controller: do the devices work with that
controller?

Hi folks,
I am writing a device driver and I need to use the ioremap function to
access the boards memory.
Now when I compile it with this line
ACTadress = (unsigned long) ioremap (ACT40BASEMEMADRRS, 16 * 1024);
it compiles great, no warnigns, no nothing. When I try to do an insmod
however, I get an unresolved symbol error. Same if I use vremap (the old
name?) but then I get a compiler warning saying that I impleced device
this function.
Anyone out there who know's what i'm doing wrong ? I use the 2.2 kernel.
Should this work with 2.0 ?

Depending on how many of those IDE drives you have and their actual
capacity, it may be cost effective just to throw them in an old PC and
set it up as an NFS file server. If the drives aren't ultra-IDE
anyhow, you won't loose too much throwing them in an old 486, which
people are practically giving away these days. Set them up with
striping and you'll be able to improve performance a bit as well. If
you need throughput for large files, 100 Mbps ethernet cards are
pretty cheap these days too.
No, it's not the best solution, but if you already have the extra
hardware it could be a free one...

I've got a problem mounting Zip disks. Some will mount perfectly well,

They simply refuse to mount or reformat on Linux. Any help in pointing

No...
There is a package supposedly in the alpha stage not yet avail by the
same author of package for OS2.
As you must know Logitech has been less than open with the specification
for these. Hope their sales reflect their inability to play with others.
We can probably expect something soon. I too have one from recent market
dumping ..... was $30.
Sorry but I don't have any good new .... perhaps someone else.

I have tried "shutdown -r now" as well and it doesn't work either.
I can see from my description why you thought I was confused about the
Pentium IIs. We have "CPU Cards" I think is the term. Basically the
cpus, RAM, i/o, etc. are on a card that plugs into a backplane. It is

If the cd is 'mount'ed, then the eject is disabled. If thats the case,

I've got a dual Celeron system, ASUS 100MHz m/b. running RedHat 6.0 Linux
Dual 366MHz 370-pin PGA o/c to bus 85, CPU 450.
After running hard for 10 hours or so (mprime + setiathome)
I get :
Unexpected IRQ vector 61 on CPU #1
Stuck on TBL IPI wait (CPU #0)
This with kernel 2.2.5, and also 2.3.2 SMP
First time with 2.3.2, the system locked.
With 2.2.5, it hung in there for a couple of minutes with
lots of these errors, ethernet couldn't interrupt etc. then hung.
Hung to black screen (was in console mode, running softdog)
3finger salute no good, reset button no good (maybe didn't hold it
>4 seconds), front panel power off no good. Pulled the power for
1 minute - that worked, eventually.
