Hi All,
I recently bought new hardware for a Linux system. I installed RH 6.0,
have kernel 2.2.5-15 running. I can't get the system to recognize the Jaz
Jet SCSI interface, and certainly not the Jaz drive.
>From the tid-bits that I have found, it appears that I need to have the
kernel module advansys. lsmod says that it is in the kernel. The system
reports finding 0 SCSI devices on boot-up. I found a Jaz drive Mini
How-To, but it starts at the point of having a working SCSI interface
(which I don't yet have).
Can someone please help get me started down the right road?
I have searched How-To's, etc, but can't find the answers. Thanks very
much for your help.
-Gary

Dave,
Try for the OSS sound thingy. It seems to work for all sound cards - well, most of
them, at least!
I installed it, and it picked up my card (ess 1869) and configured itselfg without
any need to start re-compiling the kernel, etc.

Hi.
My system has started hanging, about once a week, with the error:
scsi: aborting command due to timeout : pid 107174, scsi0, channel 0,
id 2, lun 0 Read (6) 06 68 ac 08 00
ncr53c8xx_abort: pid=107174 serial_number_at_timeout=107188
Well, that's referring to my harddrive (not the zip). Seems to be a read
timeout, but any ideas what's causing it? This has happened under 2
flavours of Linux (SuSE and Debian). Any ideas what I can do to cure it?
Another driver? Somewhere cooler?
echo "something magical" > /proc/scsi/scsi??
New card? New disk???
Any suggestions, thanks.

I've been having this same trouble, after I tinkered with the sendmail
configuration within Linuxconf.. ugh..
Sometimes it works fine, sometimes it doesn't.. I have a dynamic IP,
and a dynamically assigned domain name, but I would like to refer to my
machine as my domain name, wally.yi.org. Here is my /etc/hosts, see if
it's wrong..
127.0.0.1 localhost localhost
127.0.0.1 wally.yi.org wally
#0.0.0.0 linux.wally.yi.org linux
192.168.0.2 amiga.wally.yi.org amiga
192.168.0.3 linux.wally.yi.org linux
I've been tinkering with it a lot, so it's probably pretty bad.. I
suspect I should put linux after wally on the second line, to say linux
is an alias for wally.yi.org. Of course, the 192.* addresses are for a
local network between two computers. Of course, when I'm connected
wally.yi.org refers to my current IP.
I just want the machine named wally.yi.org, localhost to refer to the
local host (it didn't for a while :(, and sendmail to work right.
I had it really bunged for a few hours, sendmail, httpd, and X wouldn't
start, all hostname problems. It reboots fine, but if I cycle init
1/init 5 it takes forever for sendmail to restart for some reason.

Subject: Re: Spontaneous rebooting of LINUX Red Hat 5.2 and 6.0.
Date: Mon, 23 Aug 1999 16:19:26 GMT
It doesn't sound like a LINUX issue my friend. It sounds like you may
be having hardware problems. The spontaneous reboot at different times
could suggest sudden loss of power (like from a loose connection). I
have had this happen before and would suggest checking the following:
1. Your motherboard may not be properly connected to your power supply.
Check your connection. Also, the particular M/B model number you gave
doesn't seem to exist. I checked the website and can't find any info on
the M/B number you gave.
2. Your power supply may be bad. What's the rating on your power
supply? For a pentium II, you don't want anything under 235 Watts.
3. Do you have the CPU voltage set correctly? A common problem is that
the CPU voltage is set too low. In which case, when the CPU gets too
little power, it can freeze or reset. all of which is bad. A pentium
II 400 should be set to 2.0V.
4. Improper grounding. I had a friend who couldn't figure out why his
board keeps rebooting when he bumps the case even the slightest bit.
then he found out that he had a loose screw which keeps touching the
reset pins and shorting the two pins causing the machine to reboot. I
also had someone who didn't use any screws to mount his motherboard, but
instead used those plastic thingys. your motherboard needs to be
screwed down so it can have proper grounding.
5. If all else fails, take the hardware apart and reassemble
everything.
Like I said, I really doubt that Linux would cause sudden reboots. I've
been running Linux for quite some time now, and it's never rebooted on
it's own.
Good Luck.

I've seen at least two different versions of the FA310TX.
The original version used the DEC 21140 chip. I've bought, and used,
a bunch of these over the years, with very good results. The
"tulip.c" driver in the kernel works well, although you may want to
update to the latest version.
Starting about a year ago, Netgear switched over to an FA310TX design
which uses an OEM'ed Lite-On PNIC chip with a Netgear part number.
Although the PNIC is supposed to be Tulip-compatible, and it _mostly_
works with the Tulip driver, there are some definite problems.
The biggest problem of which I'm aware, appears to be due to a bug in
some versions of the PNIC chip. Under conditions of heavy load - and
especially if collisions are occurring - the chip's receiver logic
gets confused, and dumps a whole bunch of gibberish into memory. The
Tulip driver does not deal gracefully with this situation, and tends
to cease receiving anything at all from the card. It's necessary to
restart the card (ifconfig down, ifconfig up, reestablish routes) to
get it working again.
I've also read reports of the PNIC-based FA310TX failing to receive
ARP responses immediately after transmitting an ARP. Looks like a
race condition of some sort.
I cannot recommend buying the PNIC-based version of the FA310TX due to
these problems, and to Netgear's failure to respond adequately to
reports of these problems.
If Netgear has switched their production to the 21143, that would be a
Good Think (in my opinion) and I'd love to see and test one of these
cards.

I am running Red Hat 6.0 and have an ATAPI internal Zip drive installed as
hdc. I can read from and write to the zip using the vfat type.
I want to use the zip in ext2 type. So I first use fdisk to delete the old
dos partition 4 and added new primary partition 1 type 83 (Linux). When I run
"mke2fs /dev/hdc1" to format the zip, I got the following message:
======================================= Writing inode tables: done

while creating root dir. =======================================
When I run "mount -t ext2 /dev/hdc1 /mnt/zip", no error message. But when I
use "ls", I see something like:
=======================================
?--------- 0 zip
=======================================
Certainly I can't write to and read from this "mount point" :-)
Anybody has any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

I think you need to say "mke2fs /dev/hdc". When I did this, I didn't delete the
old DOS partition, and I didn't make a new type 83 partition either. I just put
the disk in, and gave the mke2fs command, and it worked fine.

Reply-To: Dik Kin Wong <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Hi all,
Since Intel drops the price of PIII 450 to $183, it makes the price really
comparable to a Dual Celeron 366 system. Therefore, I would like to
compare the performance of those two:
1) How does Dual Celeron 366 (oc to 550) compare to PIII 450 in Linux,
Windows NT (SMP version) and Windows 98 (no SMP) ?
I know the performance does vary a lot depends on applications being
used, but I am curious about the relative performance range.
2) Since SB Live is not supported in SMP, what is the alternative choice
which is better supported? Is there a list of SMP soundcards available?
Thanks.

There's the Linux Hardware Database (drivers, workarounds and ratings) at

Very few older motherboards have problems with Linux, so it will probably
work. The better question to ask is "how well?", not "will it run?"

have seen many suggestions for externals, how about internals? Been
trying to make a Digicom (creative labs) work on ttyS1 but it wont go.
running RH5.2 on a P100 with no more serial ports unless I install one
(would that be hard to do?). Internals anyone?
