I should've said that the BIOS does show the correct number of bytes for
the big disks, but does not show cylinder/head/sector information. I think
those fields say either "auto" or "--" (the machine is not here, so I
can't check right now). W98 sees all of its disk (13.1GB on primary
slave), so it doesn't look like a BIOS problem. Linux also sees that disk
OK, but not the other big disk.
The crux of the problem is that I don't know how many cylinders to specify
in Linux fdisk (and/or lilo) for the 13.6GB disk on primary master.

I got them and tried to compile under Linux with gcc. C part is OK, but
assembler parts show up with lots of errors. I never used ass. so I don't know
what to do. Anyone can handle this? I'm really interested in getting the CPU ID

Subject: Recompiled 2.2.7 kernel ignores 16550A uart
Date: Mon, 30 Aug 1999 18:31:02 GMT
I recompiled my 2.2.7 linux kernel and lost my serial mouse. I had the
same problem with 2.0.34 and 2.0.35. As a workaround I fixed my init
script to do
setserial /dev/cua0 uart 16550A
before calling gpm, the same then applies to the modem in a similar
fashion.
Although this does fix the problem, I want the kernel to set up the ports
correctly. The boot.log shows that the port was recognized, but
cat /proc/interupts
reveals that IRQs 3 & 4 are unassigned.
cat /proc/tty/driver/serial
The resulting list indicates: unknown UART for 43 ports.
My mouse worked with the distribution kernel, but not when I tune and
recompile it. Am I doing something wrong in the configuration?

Brussels dictates that both digital (= use the telco's modems) and analog
(= use your own modems) leased lines should be available all over the EU
at reasonable prices. The ONP also states that a telco can't force you to
use a certain ISP.

Most of my friends use analog leased lines at speeds of 28k8, 33k6,
144 kbps and 2048 kbps. We never had any problems.
Over here an analog leased line costs EUR 250,- to set up plus EUR 30,-
per month.

Rob

What what little I know of this, Linux "locks" the modem by creating
a file on the HD. On my RedHat 6.0 system, this is the file:
/var/lock/LCK..modem
possibly you had an uncontrolled shutdown which left this file on the HD.
If you are sure that nobody is using the modem, you can remove this file
by logging in as root and "rm /var/lock/LCK..modem". If you want to be
really safe, do this and then reboot. It the file "reappears" then I'd
look at my startup scripts. The only thing that I run which uses this
file is minicom and ppp. So if you keep your ppp connection active all
the time, this will cause the modem to be "locked". There are some other
things which do this as well, such a uucp, but I doubt that you are
using them.
I hope this was of some help to you,
John

Generally, the CD-ROM port on a sound card is configured like a
secondary IDE controller in terms of I/O addresses etc. If you already
have a second IDE port or an additional controller card, you may have
problems using this - at best you may need to reset some of the config
values. I'd suggest you take everything out except your main (primary)
IDE controller and your soundcard. If you _still_ have problems, take
the soundcard out, jumper the CDROM as a slave, and put it on your IDE
controller. That _has_ to work! Then, when you have a running Linux
system, you can add bits of hardware and see what happens. Linux
generally gives good diagnostics about hardware conflicts etc. once it
is installed and running.
Just to stress - I've installed Linux on _loads_ of old 486s using the
original (100-400Mb) disks and controllers - absolutely no problems
whatsoever.
Good luck, Paul

Subject: Difficulties with SCSI disk drive. (Zero Partition)
Date: 31 Aug 1999 07:10:35 GMT
Hello,
I don't know what's wrong with the hard drive on my machine. Hopefully y'all
can help.
My hardware:
P-II 350. 192Meg of memory.
Three disk drives: (All Ultra-Wide)
Disk1 is a 4.5G Seagate Medalist Pro
Disk2 is a 4.5G Seagate Medalist Pro
Disk3 is a 9.1G Seagate Medalist Pro
Controller is a Adaptec 2940UW Pro.
Disk3 is composed of one partition. All data on this partition is web pages.
I'm getting interesting errors. The symptoms include "Input/output errors"
when I try to rename a file. When I tried to unmount the drive I get
a "device busy" error. But I'm the only one logged on, and not on that device.
Obviously a process had some file open. I checked, and I'm not
out of space, not out of inodes either. I killed off a bunch of httpd
processes, and could unmount the device. On the next reboot, the drive didn't
up on the controller's part of the boot. Tonight, when I powered the machine
up, the drive showed up again, but when I tried to e2fsck it, I got
an error.
I'm currently running RH6.0, kernel 2.2.5-15. I haven't installed any updates
yet. Below, I included some excepts from /var/log/messages from
last night. Followed by my e2fsck attempt, and the /var/log/messages entries
added as a result. My gut tells me that there's something wrong with
disk cacheing, but I could be wrong. I don't know if it's hardware or software
or both. The two 4.5s have never given me problems since the install.
I have them set up with the OS, /home, and other areas. I later added the
9.1Gigger for data. I used cfdisk to partition the drive. I copied the data
from another computer, (via nfs) and I thought I was set. I started to rename
some of the files, etc, and starting getting long waits after each
command. Then I started getting the Input/output errors trying to execute a mv
command.
Anyway... any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Lyndon F. Bartels

Here's one place to think hard about. I started to do the same but
opted instead for a PII-400 that are about $200 now. Reason being
you're running a 100 MHz buss vs 66 for Celerons and lesser processors.
Also decided that Slot1/370 just had better resell value.
With the BX chipset I can go all the way up to a PIII-500 w/ the same
mobo and higher as PIII-800's are expected out soon. I just might need
to flash the BIOS.
However, the AMD is a fast chip...

That's not quite true either. Only an hour ago I looked at a 3Com
Sportster Model 5687 and on the outside of the shrink wrapped box it said
"Requires Windows 95 or 98" and it was an ISA jumpered modem. They are
using the same box to package different modems. In fact it didn't even
say it was ISA or PCI!
Being that it was CompUSA I told them the only way I'd buy one was that
they opened the package and confirmed that it was not a plug and pray
or a WinModem. They thought it was a PnP and wasn't sure about the slot.

I also tried mounting it as sda4 and it says:
mount: /dev/sda4 is not a valid block device
which means it doesnt exist
As an atapi drive it mounted as hdb4.
I reset the fstab to this and it didnt work it gave the following error
message:

My CD-RW and CD-ROM both mount fine as scd0 and scd1. I havent gotten the

That is a different problem though I think. The cd-rom works perfectly.

Sorry to come in on the middle of this discussion John but are Creative

they were new ish here in England about 4-6 months ago and was assured
by creative support that not only did they not support Linux but that
there were no plans to do so at any time. :-( I then went back to the

Any of you that shop there (a famous place for discount electronics)
will know how difficult that is - I was obliquely threatened with
physical violence when I persisted in trying to get a refund!!

This sort of thing really gets my goat. I mean both the blinkered
attitude to Linux (thankfully now changing) and more to the point the
fact that even big well known companies just brush you off when you try
