Hi. Just wanted to let you know that the above shouldn't execute
properly. The +++ "Escape to Command Mode" signal should be preceded and
followed by 0.5 seconds of xmission silence, and only works when you're
already connected to another computer and exchanging data. (ATO exits
Command Mode and returns to Online Mode.) Also, a reset command (ATZ)
should only be executed on it's own, without other commands (the other
commands in the buffer just get lost during the reset). It's like
[Ctrl+Alt+Delete] though. Modems rarely need to be reset after they've
been programmed. You -should- be able to concatenate the line to:
ATL3X1S10=100

You prolly forgot to enter your BIOS and turn off PnP mode for the slot
it's plugged into. There might also be a com port jumper on the modem that
needs to be set manually.

I wouldn't do that if I were you unless you knew exactly what files you were
deleting. There is a cron job that looks at the files in the tmp directory
that automatically deletes the ones that have not been accessed in x days.

Subject: AMD K6-3 + FX PA-2013 SIG 11 problems
Date: 07 Sep 1999 17:25:59 -0700
Hello, I'm hoping that someone can sanity check my situation for me.
Last week, my pentium 133 MB up and died on me. (details: the IDE
controller seemed very dead. I have two IDE drives and one CD-ROM, and putting
either drive on either controller wouldn't work. The BIOS could no longer
autodetect any of the drives, and linux could, but would get garbage when
trying to read the drive info).
So, I buy myself a AMD K6-3 400Mhz CPU, FIC PA-2013 MB (with 2MB cache - I
know many say the 1MB is just as good, but they didn't have it locally so oh
well), and a 64MB PC 100 DIMM. slap it all together, boot linux, and
everything is happy until I compile the kernel and boom, SIG 11. In addition
to gcc, fsck had a SIG11, as well as a couple xterms.
First thing I do is run the latest version of memtest86. It doesn't find any
errors. I even run the slow tests that aren't run be default.
I fiddle with the various BIOS settings (this BIOS has a nice set of them for
controlling the memory timings, for those who care). The only one that seems
to change things is turning off the externel (L3) cache. With that turned off,
I can run linux for days without (visible) trouble, and successfully compiled
the kernel 100 times.
Just for kicks, I boot up my windows partition, and with the cache turned on,
and it barely makes it through booting before getting an illegal instruction
error. With the cache turned off, it makes it all the way through about 20
screens of "Windows has detected new hardware, what should I do?"
Since windows is on /dev/hda and linux (including swap) is on /dev/hdc, and
both seem unhappy, I doubt it's a disk problem.
So I go back to the store, get a new motherboard, take it home, and it doesn't
fix anything.
At this point, I would prefer if the store had let me swap out the ram, and
the CPU, perhaps trying a K2, but they weren't too keen on that and had me
leave my machine there for them to play with it. All of the components had
passed their diagnostics.
I recompiled the kernel to run on a K6, turned on the MTRR registers, and
that didn't make much difference (I'd be surprised if it did). Should I have
to recompile anything when upgrading to a K6?
Finally, I forgot to check if any of my libraries/binaries were corrupted
before handing the computer over. Would have been good to check.
My theory is that it's either the CPU or the DIMM, and that whatever defect
that have only appears when the L3 cache is running. Does this seem valid?
My fear is that I'll be paying for them to tell me that my machine works just
fine under dos, and I'm going to be paying some restocking fees.
Also, what should I make of memtest86 not finding any errors?

Subject: How to test performance of my HDDs? PIO-Modes?
Date: Tue, 07 Sep 1999 17:10:03 +0200
Goodendag!
I'm new to linux, so please don't be too angry about a question
_THAT_SIMPLE!_.
I am running Linux 2.2.7 on a 166Mhz Pentium with two harddisks and have
the impression, that the disk access is incomparably slower than it was
in NT4.0. Although HDPARM and DMESG report, that both hardddisks support
DMA, or at least PIO 3+4, the most I (seem) to get is PIO 2 for the HDD
that should be running mode 4 and PIO 1 for the other one, that should
be running mode 3.
Even the access is limited to 16-bit, although 32-bit is possible, but
after a reboot, everything is back to the described slowness.
Do I have to recompile the Kernel, although I'm not using U-DMA/ATA66 or
what am I doing wrong.
Please answer if you have an idea.
Thanx
Jan

Subject: RH6.0 Fail Detect PCnet-ISA AM79C960KC
Date: Wed, 08 Sep 1999 00:40:09 GMT
Hello,
RH6.0 seems to have problem with detecting my AMD PCnet-ISA.
During the installation phase, it was not able to probe the
existence of the hardware so I had to skip the configuration
of the LAN. After I got my PC up running, I found that it
fails at init_module with message as following:
lance.c: Module autoprobing not allowed. Append "io=0xNNN"
value(s).
Before the RH6.0, I was using RH5.0, of Linux version 2.0.32
and the PCnet-ISA AM79C960KC was detected and ran fine.
Can someone shed my some light on this or is there anyone out
there running into the similar problem with the hardware?
Should I give it a try to use the older version of lance.c
and build a new image in Linux 2.2.5-15?
Thank you.
Wingkuen Chung.

Read http://www.BitWizard.nl/sig11/, where several possibilities are discussed.
My reflex is to tell you to get a bigger CPU fan and some thermal grease to mount
it with, but honestly a few of your symptoms don't seem to fit that pattern. The
faster K6-III's will definitely give you a sig 11 (or sometimes a sig 4) when you
run a heavy CPU load for several minutes, unless you have sufficient cooling.
Since CPU fans don't cost too terribly much, you might want to upgrade that
before you continue troubleshooting, just to make sure you're not fighting two
problems at once. Write me off-line if you need more info about this.
But since some of your symptoms seem to point in another direction, do read the
link mentioned above.

IDE cables sometimes lose continuity on one or more pins... Especially
if you remove them by pulling the cable itself... Might buy a new IDE

Subject: HighPoint HPT-366 on an Abit bp6 + Linux 2.2.12
Date: Tue, 07 Sep 1999 21:57:39 -0400
Here's the short form of the question:
I have an abit BP6 mother board with the HighPoint HPT-366 Ultra-DMA
controller built in. After applying the Andre Hedrick's patch to kernel
2.2.12 the computer completely freezes after rebooting. If I use the
boot option ide1=0xd800,0xdc01 it loads just fine (accept then I'm not
getting udma, right?). Anyone have any ideas for me to try?
Here's the long form of the question:
As mentioned above I have an Abit BP6 mb that comes with the HPT-366.
I'm running SMP with two 466 celerons, not over clocked _at_all_. The
2ndary ide interface is disabled. To install RedHat 6, I booted off the
CD, checked the /pci/proc got the numbers 0xd800 and 0xdc00 for the
first HPT controller (ie. I read the HOW-TO). Rebooted with "boot: linux
ide1=0xd800,0xdc02". That caused a lockup during the boot while
detecting the ide1. So I tried it with ide1=0xd800,0xdc01". That came up
fine and found the Quantum 13.6gig KA. I installed everything, rebooted
to the Quantum, used the boot parms again, and it loaded just fine. At
that I point I just added the boot parm to the append= in the
/etc/lilo.conf and went searching for a newer kernel and a patch. I
built 2.2.12 with smp, but didn't add the patch yet, copied the bzImage
to /boot/vmlinuz (after backing up the old image), updated lilo (keeping
the append), rebooted, and I still had my Quantum. Feeling good about
things I added the 2.2.12.uniform-ide-6.20.hydra.patch to add in support
for the HPT-366 natively. Rebuilt, copied, removed the append from lilo,
updated lilo, reboot. It started the boot, detected the udma controller
saw it as ide1, said it was detecting the partitions and completely
froze up. grrr.
It loads with the lines:
HPT366: onboard version of chipset, pin1=1 pin2=2
HPT366: IDE controller on PCI bus 00 dev 98
HPT366: reg5ah=0x01 ATA-66 Cable Port0
ide1: BM-DMA at 0xe000-0xe007, BIOS settings:
hdc:pio, hdd:pio
And I beleave that a couple lines later it says
ide1=0xd800-0xd807,0xdc02
Which is the setting that it would lockup with way back when I was still
tring to install rh.
At this point I booted with the ide1=0xd800,0xdc01 and was able to get
booted with out troubles. And my messages log has this to say:
Sep 7 20:41:22 abyss kernel: HPT366: IDE controller on PCI bus 00 dev

HDD instead of LBA or the other way around. If you formatted the HDD's on
one setting and then changed it they won't be detected correctly. Try
switching around with that. Hope it works.

Double check the modem setup string... Some ISDN defaults to 56K and
others 64K... depends on the provider of the line and their
equipment... The ISDN TA will have a command to set either 64K or 56K,
and also several other params such as chap. The TA does a little bit
more with the negotiation of the connection than a modem.

Subject: Help with ATAPI CD-R drive
Date: Wed, 08 Sep 1999 01:55:48 GMT
I followed the steps in the CD-Writing HOWTO, and I'm
not able to get my IDE/ATAPI drive (Memorex 1622)
working under Linux. I'm running Slackware 3.5.0,
with Kernel 2.2.9 configured as described in the HOWTO.
If anyone can advise, I'd be much appreciative.
I've provided (hopefully all of) the relevant information
below.
Thanks in advance!
