Subject: Is There a Linux Release that Does Not Use HLT?
From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (David H. Copp)
Date: 2 Jul 1999 07:35:20 -0500
Hi -- I have been trying to install RedHat 5.2 on a Compaq Presario 4532 since
last December!
The installation floppy cannot get past the first page of stuff. The last line
on the screen is "Testing HLT instruction," then the machine freezes.
I am 90% certain that the 4532 has an AMD K6-II processor. The RedHat knowledge
base indicates that some motherboard + K6 combinations do not properly wake up
from the HLT instruction, so I am mucho suspicious of a hardware problem.
Is there a Linux release that does not rely on HLT to put an idle process to
sleep? I have already tried Caldera OpenLinux 2.2 without success.
Thanks for any tips!

Subject: Ziatech 6660 and Linux
Date: 2 Jul 1999 10:51:47 GMT
Hi;
I'm wondering if anybody has had experience with the Ziatech 6660 four
port serial board and Linux? We have one here but it is giving us grief.
Looking in the hardware and serial HOWTOs I've noted that this card is
not listed as supported.
We are building an imbedded system using Linux as the operating system.
The hardware format is CompactPCI. The CPU is a PC compatible X86 board.
We plan to use a Ziatech 6660 board for the serial ports. The Linux
distribution is RedHat 5.2 and the kernel is 2.0.36.
>From reading the manual the Ziatech 6660 seems to consist of 4 16C650
UARTs. These UARTs are located in I/O space in a contiguous block, with
a length 0f 0x20, anchored at some base address. Each UART occupies
0x08 bytes in I/O space. The register set appears to be identical to
the the 16550A's set. Additionally, there is a common register at the
base + 0x20 that contains four bits that may be used to dtermine the
source of a particular interrupt.
I have configured this board using the following:
/bin/setserial -v /dev/ttyS4 port 0xe000 irq 10 uart 16550 ^fourport
/bin/setserial -v /dev/ttyS5 port 0xe008 irq 10 uart 16550 ^fourport
/bin/setserial -v /dev/ttyS6 port 0xe010 irq 10 uart 16550 ^fourport
/bin/setserial -v /dev/ttyS7 port 0xe018 irq 10 uart 16550 ^fourport
To test this board I have been catting ASCII files to it. This works
in that data is sent out the port. However, at the end of the data file
the the kernel may freeze (no response on the console, to pings etc).
Whether it freezes or not seems to depend on the number of bytes
transmitted. For instance I can cat a 71131 byte file with no problems
but a 3416 byte file will fail. The problem is reproducable WRT the
number of bytes. That is, transmitting 71131 will always succeed and
transmitting 3416 will always fail. Presumably the problem is occuring
when a close is done on the port.
I've tried varying the parameters to setserial including trying all
UART type from 8250 to 16650V2. I've also tried bringing the register
at base + 0x20 into play using set_multiport. These have not had much
success.
Any help will be appreciated.
Cheers

It isn't just an imitation of a AST four port is it ???
(cheap multiport card bought from local tandy like shop)
ie I had quite a bit of trouble setting up my four port card, altho I didn't
get into it as much as you have. <grin>
Anyways after trying just about every option, I ended up trying the
setserial proggie
I just set it up as a AST 4 port board. But there is 2 settings to setserial
for this type of board
one way the settings of setserial has the board from /dev/ttyS4 -S7 the
other it goes from S8 - S12
mine just happend to only run at S8 - S12 for some reason ???
nothing I changed on the card would make it run as /dev/ttyS4 - S7
It would sort of work running as /dev/ttyS4 -S7 but not properly (even tho
it was set that way)
Any way it worked, and I was happy...
sorry I can't be more specific, it's been a long time since I set up the
board. And I no longer use it.

Yes there is a app called Heartbeat. I beleive it only works for a main

By the way Pacific Hi tech is using this stuff in their Failover

Yes this is part of the high avalibity Linux software. IP, MAC
masqurading. You can take over the other machines IP and MAC when it
fails. This way the connection does not look like it was lost to the
router, DNS or other equipment.
Check out the Linux High Availablity web page. It has most of what your
looking for. Robert

Subject: Mouse
Heya!
I'm trying to get Linux (RedHat 5.2) running on my little system here
(Specs aren't important), and I've gotten pretty much everything running
(Including the video card in X-Win, even though Creative Labs doesn't
make Linux drivers), except the mouse. It's a nice mouse (Logitech
FirstMouse+. You know, three buttons and a scrolly thingy) which I've
gotten used to, and don't want to switch. When I start up X-Windows,
the mouse always gives me basically no control over it, sticking at the
upper left hand corner of the screen. When you move the mouse it
sometimes jumps a bit in the direction you move it, but jumps right back
the UL afterwards. It also seems to constantly act as if you were right
clicking . . . Though I'm not sure, as I don't know what right-clicking
does, as I've never used a working Linux system.
Any ideas, anyone? Please?

Hi,
Have an i7000 and it works very well with Linux, with the following
caveats:
1. Yes, you do have to "downgrade" the BIOS to 0.6 to get X working
2. You will need a patched X server
3. The sound is not supported, except by OSS's beta commercial drivers,
and they are still beta
4. Some flakyness around power management, particularly to do with
PCMCIA ethernet (I have the 3Com 575 CardBus)
You will get most of the help you need from:
http://www.eecs.umich.edu/~steveh/inspiron/ thanks to Steve Hsieh.
All in all, I'm happy with the machine. The 15" screen is a joy, and
once the sound is sorted it will be great.
Hope this helps.

Here's what you do.... 'rpm -qa | grep make' if it returns nothing,
then you will have to install the make package. Depending on the type
of network card you have, you shouldn't even need to compile anything
to get support. Did you select your network card in the Rh setup?
you can add the line 'eth0 <module name>' to your /etc/conf.modules.
If you are in X, run 'netcfg' and enter the appropriate info. Do the
command 'ifup eth0' and see if it resolves and works. The easier
thing to use is linuxconf (if you installed it). You should install
the make package regardless or you will not be able to do any
compiling and hence installing of programs that come in tarballs.
Or build RPMs out of them.

Well.... Leave the 127.0.0.1 away, it's already used, so you can't assign
this address to another interface.... (BTW, 127.0.0.1 is ALWAYS assigned

Hi,
I've just recently obtained a DPT SmartRaid III controller (model PM3224W),
but
have had some problems with getting Linux 2.2.5 to see the array. Using the
DOS
based Storage Manager, I've set up a RAID-0 array comprised of three 9.1 UW
SCSI disks (two are Compaq DCHS09Y drives with SCA-80 to SCSI-3 68
pin converters, one is a Seagate ST39173W 68 pin).
When loading the EATA driver as a module, the adapter is detected, but
instead
of seeing one large logical drive, it is seeing the three separate physical
drives
of the array. Following is the output:

====================================================
In the DOS based Storage Manager utility, i've set the Operating System type
to "Other",
which uses INT13. DOS itself can see the logical ~27GB drive array, whereas
Linux w/ the EATA module loaded only sees the physical 3 x 9.1 GB drives.
Am I missing parameters to the EATA driver, or am I missing anything else
obvious ?
Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.
thanks,
pete
