My machine is running in Linux 2.2.5-15 RedHat 6.0.
After starting system , everythings seems [OK] , but when i try to send
somethings via Eth0 (3c509), like ping command i receive the message:
"Transmit timed out, Tx_status 00 status 2000 TX FIFO room 1456".
I try to set off the PnP (Plag and pray) bit with dos utility of 3Com ( ref.
How-to-Ethernet-5 Vendor/Manufacturer ...3Com...)and restart system but
dont'work.
The network (hardware resource) is tested and is O.K. No problems occurred
in Win98 with the same config.
Any help appreciated,

I have one of those Promise DMA-33 controller cards and it works pretty
good, boosting my Pentium Pro 200 to response times hardly distinguishable
from consumer Pentium II 450's. Red Hat Linux will install just fine on
your computer, provided:
The boot disk for Linux must be in one of the first two (E)IDE slots
utilized on a system. So you would have to install it on a hard drive
either on the motherboard's primary (E)IDE ribbon, or else have no hard disk
running off the motherboard until you reach the Promise channels. In that
case the first hard drive seen on the system will appear to to Linux as
hde1, at which point you can install Linux on either hde or hdf.
If you get the "LI" prompt and perhaps a freeze after that, you'll need to
delete the errant LILO code from the Master Boot Record of said boot
hard-drive before you can proceed. Boot from a DOS disk and run "fdisk
/mbr" on c: to restore it to pristine, evil empire DOS.
Follow the "custom" install path so you can manually partition the necessary
Linux partitions. Use 300MB for the root partition and stuff a good bulk of
the disk space into partition "/usr ".

Actually, IIS is gaining adherents faster than Apache, and has been rated better
than Apache by some reviewers. And the MacOS, as an OS, *is*
better than Windows. Windows was based on it, after all. The thing that you've got
to come to terms with is that what you call "prettiness"
actually does make the OS easier to use. One simple example: You want to move 50
files, all with different extensions, from one directory to
another. Would you rather drag and drop them, or drop down to a command line? I
think it's safe to say you'd rather drag and drop. The same for
account creation: Would you rather add a user through a command line interface or
through a GUI that laid your choices out for you and just made
you pick?
My point is that GUIs aren't just fluff. They make life easier. If Linux
developers pooh-pooh GUI interfaces because of some misguided elitist
techie pride, they'll only have themselves to blame when Linux goes the way of OS/2.

Subject: Awe64 and GusPnP in RH6.0
Date: Sun, 11 Jul 1999 15:37:58 +0200
Hi,
I've just installed Red Hat 6.0 and now I need to get some sound going.
I have both a SB AWE64 and a GusPnP, and I would quite like the two
cards to work.
Sndconfig detects the GusPnP, but the playback is buggy (the first sound
that is played loops, and only stops if I reboot).
If I set the AWE64 up manually in sndconfig, with the same settings that
I use under NT, it sais that IRQ 5 is conflicting (whereas in NT it is
set up for IRQ 5 and it works fine).
So I can't get either card to work right.
Can anyone give a hand?
Thanks!

Has anyone got one of these cards to work in Redhat 6.0 ?
Windows NT is happy but I get a resource conflict at I/O address 300. The
irq and I/O settings are identical to NT.
I know its not the greatest card and I could buy a Soundblaster but all I
want is to hear the progress of the internal modem when dialing.
As I'm new to Linux, the isapnp.conf is a bit daunting ...

the upper right of my screen when touched. In both console mode and in X. If
you move the ball it acts like you are clicking the mouse button.
It is set for a PS/2 mouse and I have tried all the different options in the
mouseconfig.
Anyone had this type of problem?
Should I upgrade to RH 6? If so how?
Should I try to install GPM again, could that be my problem(I know that X
doesn't use GPM)
Advice would be great.
Thanks
Brian

Hi folks
I have two printers attached to my PC:
LPT1: Minolta PagePro 6L
LPT2: Lexmark 1100
I have SuSE 6.1 installed. Neither printer seems to be supported in YaST.
Any hints on how to get at least one of these working?
Also, I have a cheapo SB-compatible (it says here, although it uses its own
drivers under Win98) sound card. I can find very little in the SuSE manual
about getting a sound card set up (other than "it's not straightforward").
Any pointers?
Ta muchly
