Try instead as root:
mount /dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom
assuming hdc is the name of your device
if you do not know it type
dmesg and look at the line written when linux installs your cdrom you should
see something like hdc , hdd , ....

in the bttv directory there's most likely a sub-dir called drivers.
(where you unpacked it (or it can be found in the sourcefiles dir)
What you're looking for is a script called MAKEDEV
run that (cd to the dir where it is, if you don't find it at first try a
"locate MAKEDEV") - then write ./MAKEDEV
That should create all possible kinds of v4l related device types.
Then try loading the bttv module again and see if it didn't help.

please note, I can speak for myself only. Not so far ago I've found
_xfce_ by searching on my installation cd's. Description promises a
very fast desktop environment. I just installed the program, run the
installation-script and got a nice and very fast workspace :-)
I've read this group since a few months but I've never read _xfce_ . I
don't know why. I find it to be a very stable and fast system. The
only teardrop I wish to mention is the fact that _xfce_ is not very
configurable. But I want to work with my computer - that's all. And so
_xfce_ is quit the right for me.
Hope I helped!

What models ?
There are some distributions supporting RS/6000, but only if they are PowerPC!
If so, try http://www.linuxppc.com http://www.linuxppc.org

Subject: insmod fails with "unresolved symbol" messages
Date: Thu, 16 Sep 1999 09:00:42 -0400
I'm trying to install the driver for a new Ethernet Card. It compiles
OK, but when I try to install the module, the insmod command returns a
stream of "unresolved symbol" messages. There are 29 such unresolved
symbols in all, including
securebits
eth_type_trans
request_region
pcbios_read_config_byte
_kfree_skb
kmalloc
release_region
free_irq
jiffies
printk
add_timer
Since they sure look like they should come from the kerner, I checked
ksyms, however, none of them appear in the list.
I haven't been able to find anything about this in the HOWTO's. Is there
anything I can do besides compiling the driver into the kernel? As a
beginner, I was hoping to avoid stuff like that for my first install.
BTW I'm running RedHat 6.0 (kernel version 2.2.5), and the driver is
sis900.c for the SiS900 ethernet 10/100 controller chip.

Gerardo,
You certainly can. If you are using a 2.2.x kernel, ftape should support
this drive. You will want to comile support for Travan drives when you make
your kernel config. When you want to access the tape drive, such as with
TAR, you will want to select the rewindable device option e.g.
tar cv file.txt /dev/rft0
Let me know if this helps.

It's not clear why you'd want to dump AIX in favor of Linux. Linux
has been ported to PowerPC, and if your "aging RS6000s" are based on
PowerPC, there's a possibility there.
However, you can get AIX versions of much of the software that runs
on Linux at ftp://aixpdslibs.seas.ucla.edu, either source or binaries.
So why would you want to give up SMIT and LVM?

Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Go back a bit in time, to the days when 56K was first announced. Not
being a technical person, I can't rehearse the details, but it was
explained then that 56K works only on downloads from a server that can
send at 56K. (I believe that all consumer 56K modems transmit at
28.8K, but it may be 33.6K.) It was explained that you could not
connect between two 56K modems at anything greater than 28.8 because
neither 56K modem would have the hardware necessary to transmit at
56K.
You had the same situation if you owned a 56Flex modem and tried to
connect to a X2 ISP. Or vice versa. You only got 28.8K. The advent of
V.90 iron and flash updates fixed that problem, but I know of nothing
that has changed the "problem" that you are facing. (It's not a
"problem", its a basic truth like the "Winmodems and Linux Don't Mix"
truth.)

In theory, yes, you can use the 'atyfb' consolefb support in the kernel
along with the fbdev XFree86 server. As I understand it, you will not get
an optimized accelerated driver, but it _should_ work. Unfortunately, this
stuff is not well documented, so you'll need patentience and a little code
reading experience if it doesn't work the first time.
I have been thinking about trying this myself, but haven't yet gotten
around to it. Let me/us know of your findings if you attempt it.
Mike.

You might want to look into more ram. Linux needs at least 32mb to run

The HP 820Cse is a _cgi_ printer.
The "driver" you need - must have, NO ALTERNATIVES - is Windows9x/NT.
Period.
It has no internal processor of it's own so it can't "think for itself" or
be used in DOS, etc. It runs off your main CPU which is one reason the
system slows down while printing. Etc. Etc.
I certainly won't buy one of those type printers again.

Subject: DELL Inspiron 7000/7500
I'd like to run Linux on a DELL Inspiron 7000/7500. I am constrained to
buy from DELL for administrative reasons, so I am hoping to hear some
good news about this laptop:
* Will XFree86 drive the video hardware: ATI Mobility P3D, AGP?
* Any hope of making the PCMCIA modem/LAN card work: XIRCOM V.90/LAN
card?
Many thanks!
