Subject: 82371AB/EB BusMaster controller install?
Date: Thu, 15 Jul 1999 14:56:47 GMT
I'm getting "No Hard Disk Found" on installation (Debian, TurboLinux).
I checked the archives, and it seems that my controller, an Intel
82371AB/EB PCI BusMaster is supported (past 2.0.37 kernel) but I'm
unable to get it to work.
Interestingly enough, the bootup sequence finds the CD for the CD-based
install (TurboLinux) just fine, but both CD-boot and floppy boot
(Debian) give the same error when it comes time to partition the HD.
Suggestions? I'm considering:
1) making a new floppy from a fresher debian install image
2) Changing the timing on the PCI bus down from 66 MHz
3) creating a new boot image with an updated kernel :( - this one would
have to wait until I get home tonight, as I don't have Linux installed
yet. :(
4) ... Changing more BIOS settings, checking the Micron website, flash-
upgrading the BIOS, etc.
I'm hoping there's a simple boot: option to get this going.
FYI it's a Micron P3-450 with a WD313000, 128MB RAM
Please email in addition to posting - [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I know it's just my first day at the new job, but I'm really hoping to
get Linux on at least a couple machines today :)
Thanks in advance.

Depends on what you mean by 'quick'.

One solution:
Click up www.kernel.org, redirect to one of the mirrors, download the
2.2.10 kernel kit and (from the 'alan' directory) the 2.2.10-ac10
patch. Install kit & patch, rebuild your custom kernel, and reboot to
it. (I've tried this, and it works.)
---
Another solution:
There's a way to rebuild the kernel you now have to fake it into
thinking your IDE Zip is a SCSI Zip. One person in this group reported
trying it and having it work for him. Unfortunately, his post has been
purged off my server, but you should be able to find it in dejanews by
searching this group for content words 'IDE' 'ATAPI' 'Zip' 'error',
etc. The thread should be within the last 3-6 weeks.

Yes. The partitioning of IDE and SCSI disks works in precisely the same
way (at least on this level; there are differences in how CHS geometry
mapping are handled).
Note that Linux can exist entirely in logical partitions, so the
4-primary-partition limit isn't a big issue for Linux per se; it's more of
an issue when dealing with multiple Microsoft OSes, which require primary
partitions.

Date: 15 Jul 1999 16:31:06 GMT
Yes, the 7200 RPM drives are faster when attached to a Promise ATA/66
controller.
I've read those articles that say they showed no performance increase and
in some cases a performance degredation with the ATA/66 card.
This is simply not true. I'm curious what drives were used.
I recently bought a WD expert 9 gig 7200 RPM, ATA/66 and a Promise ATA/66
card.
Here are my Winbench results with the drive connected to the Promise card
and with the drive connected to the primary IDE port of my Asus P2B
motherboard (pII350, 128megs).
(Thousand Bytes/Sec) w ata 66 w/0 ata 66
---------------------------
WinBench 99/Business Disk WinMark 99 2380 2170
WinBench 99/High-End Disk WinMark 99 8280 6120
WinBench 99/Disk Playback/Bus:Overall 2380 2170
WinBench 99/Disk Playback/HE:AVS/Express 3.4 7390 4530
WinBench 99/Disk Playback/HE:FrontPage 98 22200 21900
WinBench 99/Disk Playback/HE:MicroStation SE 7100 6360
WinBench 99/Disk Playback/HE:Overall 8280 6120
WinBench 99/Disk Playback/HE:Photoshop 4.0 7520 5540
WinBench 99/Disk Playback/HE:Premiere 4.2 6970 4830
WinBench 99/Disk Playback/HE:Sound Forge 4.0 8480 5830
WinBench 99/Disk Playback/HE:Visual C++ 5.0 7720 6170
====================================================================
More importantly, while connected to the motherboard, the CPU usage during
these tests was at 73%. While connected to the Promise controller it
averaged 23%. That in my opinion, is significant.
Granted, the results may vary in Linux but that's not the issue here,
considering there are no Linux drivers. ;)

All of GVC's PCI modems are winmodems. They either use the Rockwell

One thing that I'd like to point out is that the hub purchased really should
be able to handle future expansion needs. That means having at least several
extra ports or the ability to tie into an expansion hub. It also is worth
while to sit back and take a close look at how the unit is going to be
used. A switching hub may be a better choice if you forsee heavy usage
amongst certain machines.
The reason for the extra ports is that once you have a network sooner or
later you will want almost everything connectted to it. Things such as
print servers, mail servers, web servers, modems and everything else.
Initially much of this may run on one or more usrs computers, but you may
find that it is benefical to have at least some of these running on there own
hardware.
A little up front costs will greatlly simplifygrowth of the network.

Not necessarily. At one point I had computers in my bedroom and downstairs in
the 'storage' room in the basement, and two cheap 100/10 hubs interconnected.
Note, the distance between the two hubs was coming close to 100 feet. I found
I had to reset the hubs daily, and at times 2-3 times/day. I eventually bought
two 3Com office connect dual speed hubs, and never had a problem after that
until I moved all of the computers down into the basement.

Yep. And go for the 100/10 hubs that autosense too.

Not true. GVC's Canadian site (http://www.gvc.ca/products/) lists
three types of 56K PCI modems available from GVC:
1) A PCI Internal V.90 w/Kflex with Controller modem
(onboard MCU, DPU and DAA) which can be installed in
WinNT, Win98, Win95, *and* Win3.1
2) A PCI Internal V.90 w/Kflex Controller-less modem
(onboard DPU and DAA; no MCU) which can be installed in
WinNT, Win98, and Win95, and
