Hi Jennifer,
I think that your problem is that you have a plug-and-play card with its
resources assigned by whatever OS it runs under. I have found that with
NE2000 compatibles, it is best to disable plug-and-play on the card and
manually assign values to the card. If your card has software that can do
that, then you should be in good shape.
If not, then you can try this (it worked once with a Kingston KNE20 I was
using). Go into WinNT, and try to change the resources of the card manually.
Change it to something lower than 0x600 (usually a good idea anyhow). Reboot
the system into NT, and see if the card is still working. If it is, reboot
into linux and specify the new settings for the card.
I hope it works for you!

Subject: Re: Need help configuring cs4236 sound on HiNote
Hi!
I have had a similar problem on a HP Omnibook.
I used the CS4232 driver even though its a cs4237B and after much fiddling
with the stuff in the BIOS.... It only stopped popping after I stopped
loading the opl3 module??? I don't know why... it makes absolutely no
sense to me whatsoever!
I also had no luck from the OSS modules.
One other thing I did change was I stopped using the mpu options on the
CS4232 module..
Sorry I'm not much help!

You should be using the module ne2k-pci.o not ne.o and as its pci I dont

Greetings!
I will be installing Linux Mandrake soon, and am doinfg a bit of a

appears in the subject line, and I guess I'm wondering if this will
work under Linux.
I have visited the "winmodem" site, and didn't see mine listed, but

By chance I detected some REALLY STRANGE connection to that problem:
I am running LILO with two configurations: Windows98 (dos) and Linux
(linux) which is standart (of course <G>).
The "lilo: " prompt waits for about 10 sec. and starts limux automatically
if no key is pressed. In this case I get the Kernel panic error.
If I press <ENTER> to start faster (should do the same thing) I won't get
the error message.
Has anybody an idea why that is???

Date: Tue, 7 Sep 1999 23:59:50 +0200
Hi!
We have an EXAByte 8mm/170M SCSI (Exb-210 with a Mammoth 8900) in
a Linux System.
We're using "tar" to create a backup:
For example:
tar -cvf /dev/nst0 /usr/src/1
or
tar -cvf /dev/st0 /usr/src/1
The problem is that after de first tape is full the Exabyte didn't
change to the next tape. (Exabyte is configured in Sequential Mode).
I know there is another device /dev/sg*, this device is the
Control Device that changes the tape, anybody knows who we can operate
with this device? (for example like st0: mt -f /dev/nst0 rewind).
There are some programs to make backups, like arkeia
(www.arkeia.com) but they are commercial, anyone knows a
shareware, freeware or commercial programs that supports the control
device (/dev/sg*)?
Is possible to continue using "tar" and make that Exabyte changes
the tape?
Anyone have any problems like this?
Thanks!

I only have 1 parallel port on my machine so I need to share the port with

Or do i have to mount the zip to use it every time and then unmount it if

Dunno. I plugged a non-optical sun mouse into a ps2 port and it went

Yes, losing one axis of movement is a known hardware failure mode.

Subject: Re: Please help experts!!! : My HDs are gone after changing the Slave to
Master!!! (BIOS doesnt detect them anymore)

Okay, lets take it one step at a time. First we need to determine that both
your drives work perfectly independently of each other. So test each drive
one at a time without the other plugged in. *Note: On some drives, if you
want to use it as a SINGLE drive, then you CANNOT jump it as a master
(because there isn't a slave to be a master over; in this case, just don't
jump anything).
Now assume that both your drive works perfectly by themselves, then put them
on the same IDE channel again. If that doesn't work, then try puting each
on its own IDE channel (IDE1 and IDE2). Make sure you enable the IDE
channels in the Bios.
If that doesn't work, them reset CMOS. Read your m/b manual how to do this.
But if your original setup worked and now it doesn't, then your drive might
have just died in front of your eyes. It happened to me.

I'm not familiar with redhat or gnome, but maybe it is possible to
switch to another virtual console with ctrl-alt-f1 - ctrl-alt-f12 ?

You should also be able to get something equivalent to your "pure" linux
mode if you open a terminal window.

in my experience, zip drives are extremely unreliable. i have no
experience with cdrw, but after many bad ones with iomega, i'd go with
almost anything else. i'm using an mo drive with my laptop now. this
works ok for me for some specific reasons: i'm in japan alot, where mo
drives are more popular and the disks are much cheaper than in canada
or the u.s.
i can't say enough bad things about zip and iomega, though,
ciao,
g.y.

I'm still at square 1 - I can't get Linux to talk to my LJ1100. Any
special tricks you can give me? I REALLY want this thing to work!
thanks,
