You know, I've had the same trouble. So much, in fact, that I booted into
win98 to see how it configured the card, and it didn't find the AWE 64,
wouldn't let me use the AWE 64 driver, and kept insisting on a SB16 driver. I
wonder if it's a card problem?

PPGA Celerons running in a Slot 1 board have been shown to be less
overclockable than if you ran in a Socket 370 board. It is unknown at
this point exactly what about the adapter boards (SlotKet, MSI, etc.) is
causing this, but you might want to check out BXBOARDS.COM for some
articles on the subject.
Pushing a 366 to 550 is extremely hit-or-miss (usually a miss), and the
P2B is about the LEAST likely board you will be able to do this with
unless you tape the pins to kick the voltage up a little. Good luck,
though.

Date: Sat, 10 Jul 1999 13:43:58 GMT
Hi,
Having problems getting my Adaptec AHA-2940 (Ultra Wide, I think) card
to work under Red Hat 5.1 (kernel 2.0.36).
On machine 'A':
Bios message ok
External SCSI drive found ok
Non-conflicting IRQ assigned ok
Works under Win95, works under Linux 5.1 (2.0.36)
Can mount the drive, read, write, etc. etc.
On machine 'B', however:
Bios message ok
External SCSI drive found ok
Non-conflicting IRQ assigned ok
Linux 5.1 (2.0.36) reports:
scsi : 0 hosts.
scsi : detected total.
No Win95 or Win98 to test Windows detection.
Of course, I need the SCSI card working in machine 'B' (which is a P90
with an AMIBIOS, by the way). I've tried switching IRQs, PCI slots and
so on, but nothing seems to make Linux see the card.
Any help gratefully received.
Best wishes,
Matt

I've got a box with an Adaptec AHA-2940AU which has RedHat 5.1 on a Jaz
disk, works fine (a lot less bother than the re-installation of SuSE 6.1
I've just done on my pure Linux box as it happens).
I would suspect a hardware problem: have you tried putting the SCSI card
from machine A into machine B, or connecting the hard drive from machine B
to machine A?
You might double check that everything in box B is properly terminated as
well: I'm pretty sure that I had similar problems with a SCSI hard drive
once (picked up by the SCSI bios but not detected by Windows) because I'd
left a cable plugged into the SCSI adaptor on the faulty assumption that the
auto-termination would be turned off by the presence of a device on the end
of the cable rather than simply by the mere presence of a connector in the
external socket.

This is a nightmare of an issue.... The Supra Express family is OK for the
most part. The Supra Max family is junk. I am presently running a Supra
Express 56i sp (speaker phone) and it works flawlessly under Linux. I did
not even need to use isapnptools to get it to work. I simply set the
correct parameters with the "setserial" command and it worked. It took
awhile to figure out a port and address for it, but now it works fine.
Steve
p.s. There is info at the Diamond website for each of its modems. There is
also a list of supported modems at the Linux documentation Project.

Henk,
Make sure you have the file system spelled out in /etc/fstab as well as have
VFAT support either built in or loaded as a module in your kernel (try
'modprobe vfat' and then 'lsmod' to see if you have vfat support as a loadable
module.). You should have an entry like:
/dev/hdc1 /mnt/win98 vfat defaults 0 0
substitude hdc1 for the partition and /mnt/win98 for the mount point. Hope
this help.

Yes, laptops work well with Linux.
However you have to research your hardware much more carefully.
In particular, your hard disk, video controller, CD ROM, and
BIOS. If you're going to use X windows, the mouse. If you're
going to connect to a LAN, your NIC.
To be on the comfortable side, get 64 MB of RAM or more.

Is this the same actual card being moved from machine to machine? If
not, you may have two slightly different revisions of 2940 there.
Support for Adaptec cards was shaky until recently because they (Adaptec)
declined to cooperate in the development of drivers. Things have
improved now but your system may not be up to date enough.
If it is the same card being moved from machine to machine, what does
"cat /proc/pci" show on machine B. What result do you get if you
do a manual "insmod aic7xxx". Are you installing Linux with the card
there or adding the card to an existing Linux system? Are there any
IDE drives in the system as well?

Absolutely. The hunt for parts is the biggest fun. Unless you expect

Say what? Pop the CD into the drive, reboot and answer ``Yes'' to
``Install everything.'' What is hard about that? Of course, you
