I am noticing some file corruption with RedHat 6.0. I was thinking it may
either be Samba, my HD, or my IDE controller. Someone told me that there
were problems with my IDE controller chipset (CMD 640 I believe). I cannot
get into the bios, and I believe it is also running in CHS mode (the HD is a
1.7 and should, by all accounts, be in LBA).
Could someone please help me?
Email me, please, if you can.

Despite my previous post, I am usually a kind hearted soul and I
remembered that I hate rude replies to innocent messages.
Run 'fdisk /mbr' from dos/windows to reinstall the master boot record.
This will remove lilo and fix the problem.
Note that if you decide to reinstall linux/lilo again in the future, you
can add your windows partition so that you can just boot into windows from
lilo if you have a problem with linux.

Can't confirm this but a sales rep once told me that you can read
the computer DAT tapes in an audio DAT player but not the other
way around - something to do with the audio tapes not being of
a high enough quality for backup reliability, etc.

Hi!
I also got a fairly simple machine (Pentium 60 - also a high power cpu and
two harddisks) running 24hours a day - and it works fine without extra
cooling. You should check the harddisk - if it is a 7200 rpm or higher I
would suggest an extra fan for it, but an ordinary regular speed disk is
able to dissipate the heat by itself unless it is enclosed in an extra
housing. It would be wise to have a small gap above the harddisk.
Do not worry about the network cards or the video card. The normal cards
have no heat problems.
Extra fans tend to get a lot of dust into the housing, and that may
destroy the cards easily because it blocks the heat dissipation. I would
not recommend an extra fan if you do not really need it.
You should be concerned about keeping the computer clean from inside (by
carefully using a vacuum cleaner for the inside once in a while), and the
power - my computer runs on a (cheap) ups. Since I live at the countryside
of Germany, power failures are possible and the ups did a good job twice
in about half a year.
Have a lot of fun :-)

This is a multi-part message in MIME format.
==============2BF7F95799B7D25AAD7DC6D6
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
I am running Linux on an old Pentium 60 with 48MB and its time to speed
things up. I would like to upgrade, or renew, my system by plugging in a
new motherboard, processor, memory and, at a later stage, harddisk and
video card.
I would like to try a dual celeron system with the Abit BP6 board and
not I am looking for some advice. On the net I've found many reports of
people using this board and overclocking the processors but I'm not
quite sure which solution is best. So if anyone has some first hand
experience please let me know!!!!!!
First about the dual processor board. If I'm right its a matter of
replacing the old board (my old PCI video card and IDE drives should
still work) install the SMP kernel RPM. Liliconf and reboot, ....
finished. Is it really that simple or am I overlooking something?
What about memory on the BP6 board. Most boards have 4 SIMM connectors
and you have to use 2 (+ 2) identical SIMM modules. The BP6 board has 3
SIMM connectors. Can I use just 1 128MB SIMM module or do I have to use
at least two modules (e.g. 2 modules of 64MB)? What about the so called
ECC memory, it's more expensive but do I see a big performance
difference with the standard 100Mhz memory?
The Ultra ATA/66 is supported with the 2.2 kernel?
And what about overclocking? The prices of the Celeron PPGA have really
dropped; 336MHz for $80, 400MHz for $100. Only the 466 and 500MHz
versions are quite expensive. I've seen reports of people overclocking
the 366MHz version to 550MHz. If I want to go to 500 or 550MHz, what
Celeron should I buy? Is a 400MHz safer than a 366MHz or is this just
Intel marketing bullshit. What about the suffixes A, PPGA,
Mendoccio..... what version to look for?
What is the best cooler if I want to overclock my system? Do these
freezer coolers (-30C !!!) really exist? And what about the price? I can
buy $50 cooler but then a 500Mhz in-a-box Celeron is also an option!!!
And for the final upgrade. I now have an old Mach64 video card and a 15"
monitor. If I find a good priced 17" or 19" screen I would like to buy a
good video card. With the existing Linux drivers, what to look for RIVA
TNT2, Matrox Millenium G400? Any card that goes well with the dual
Celeron board?
What about a low budget card to go with my old 15" monitor (1024x768 is
OK but I'd like some more speed and more colors), any suggestions?
I know these are a lot of questions but if anyone reads all of the above
and can give me some good advice, thanks a lot!!!

Linux does not use the BIOS, so the BIOS' capabilities

It warns you that DOS will have troubles.
For a Linux-only machine you can ignore the warnings.
Using a recent fdisk or cfdisk will reduce the number
of confusing warnings.

Ooops?
One of my Linux boxes does use a 3C509. Had no problems to get it running.
Even the Linux which included kernel 2.0.33 supported it.

First rule of Linux audio: Whenever a card claims to be "soundblaster
compatible" it is not.
Now the ESS 1868 card might be supported in 2.2, and then it might not, so
before jumping into dual sound cards I would pull out the Vibra16 and
see if you can get the ESS 1868 to work. If you can, then chances are
you can get dual cards working without too much trouble.
Then read the blurb on dual audio cards; the SE440BX Crystal CS4236B and
the Sound Blaster16 on my "Linux sound setup for the Intel SE440BX
motherboard". It's a different setup but this might be helpful to you.

Thanks. I was hoping that would be the case.

I assume it's an earlier model, but it's good to know that some creative
drives work.
Thanks a lot,

Subject: System Locks up when new drive installed
Date: Sun, 22 Aug 1999 15:32:32 GMT
I have a server running on redhat 5.2 kernel 2.0.36. It was working fine
until I switched a 10GB Quantum drive with a 20gig Maxtor. Now after about 3
hours the system locks up, can't even do a crtl-alt-del. I shut down the
system, restarts and says..
Unexpected inconsistency, Run fsck Manually.
Brings me to the root for maintenance. When I do a fsck -r /dev/hde1 It
finds all whole bunch of bad blocks and inodes and asks to clear them, and I
do. One it's done I reboot and the system starts. After 3-6 hours online it
locks up again and I have to do the same process again.
The Maxtor 20gig is connected to an extra IDE controller connected to a PCI
slot.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
General Lee
