I also have the HP Pavilion 4440
So far after installing WinLinux, there are a few problems.
The adapter is the 5597 (look in your windows device driver settings, it'll
say firmware version - 5597 )
The 5597 is listed in almost every hardware list for the X servers, KDE
(which comes with WinLinux) and what not.
But I'm getting some strange problems with the pixels. When I drag anything,
an Icon, a window, or even moving the scroll bar - all of the pixels in the
moved area become just garbage.
But! - It is a problem, there could be a fix - I am new to Linux (2 Day) - I
don't know. If anyone knows, please, let me know @ [EMAIL PROTECTED]
If anyone else has installed Linux on there HP Pavilion 4440 or like
computer, please let me know anything I might need to know.

Thanks for the tips guys but I still cannot access it with a user=20
other than root. After I mount the drive, it still says "access=20

So pricewatch is a fine thing, but only if you ignore the categories.
You have to search by part numbers and descriptions. They're terrible
about sorting things into categories or maintaining proper categories.

I've gotten about three or four reports of people just sticking in
random memory and having it work fine. I rather doubt that anyone has
random memory of the 50ns variety; everyone pretty much used 60 or
70ns until EDO and SDRAM flavours of RAM came along.
I'm using 60ns FPM memory just fine. My SIMM consists of 8 TI chips
part number TMS417400. Datasheet:
http://www-s.ti.com/sc/psheets/smks881b/smks881b.pdf
I know a few people who bought new memory from buy.com to go with the
thing, but they all got 16MB simms. 16MB appears to be enough to
print the LaTeX documents, Netscape output, and photos that I usually
print, and I've had no reports of insufficient memory from anyone
else. What sorts of documents are you printing? If it's things like
these, then I see no reason to tear your hair out looking for a
suitable 32 or 64MB SIMM when we've demonstrated several 16MB SIMMs
that will solve the problem.

So I attempted to look up various components on the board, hoping to
find out something useful. The 4MB that the printer comes with are
found as two Micron chips. They are 1Mx16bit 5V EDO 50ns 1K refresh
chips. See http://www.micron.com/mti/msp/pdf/datasheets/d52.pdf
and the line overview at http://www.micron.com/mti/msp/html/dramds.html
If we assume that the approved expansion memory consists of chips from
the same family as the built-in RAM, then you would use the Micron
memory module MT16D832M-5X or ...G-5X, which consists of 16 4Mx4 50ns
EDO DRAMs with a 32ms/2K line refresh cycle - presumably parts
MT4C4M4E8-5 from the line overview. However, as this module contians
16 chips, one wonders if it'll fit in the box.
All of Micron's 64Mb DRAM chips appear to be 3.3V, so we can assume
that the Lexmark SIMM either doesn't use Micron chips or uses a great
many of them.

So the closest match to the memory soldered into the printer from
Kingston's generic memory line is KTM8X32L-50ET, a 50ns EDO SIMM. All
the Kingston 32MB modules cost $113 from them, including the special
KTM-E310 modules (the E310 is another Lexmark printer; they obviously
made a dozen or so printers with the same basic 33MHz i960-based
design), so we can't match prices to see if that's the same as a
KTM-E310/32. You might try calling Kingston and asking.

Subject: RH6.1 won't detect SCSI CDROM
Date: Thu, 23 Mar 2000 22:45:29 -0600
Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I am trying to install RedHat 6.1 on an Intergraph TD3 (from about
1995). It will not boot from the CDROM, so I have to use the RH boot
floppy. The install process starts, but, when I choose to install from
CDROM it cannot detect the device, and asks me what driver to use.
I choose the NCR 53C8xx option, which is what the manual of the computer
says is the SCSI controller. RH responds by saying "Loading NCR
53C8xx", then drops me right back to the "Choose what type of CDROM"
screen.
According to the RH docs, this controller is a Tier 2 supported device,
and should work. Are there optional parameters I need to add when
choosing the driver? If so, I have no idea what they are - nothing is
mentioned in the Intergraph manual about that.
Can anyone help me figure out how to detect the CDROM, so I can continue
with the install?
Thanks,
Paul Phillips

A little more information --
DOS detects the drives fine, and notes it on startup.
In DOS, I can cd \d to get to the floppy, and can examine its contents.
However, once I start the Linux boot floppy, it will not see the SCSI bus.
I tried
(just for grins) choosing to install from the hard drive (rather than the
cdrom.
It told me there are no hard drives
attached to my system! (there are two, on the SCSI bus, and both show up
when booting
under DOS). Hmmm

Reply-To: Jaroslaw M Myszewski <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Howdy. I'm wondering how an administrator can set certain shared memory
ranges from being allocated. Here's my problem. I have RH6.2 with
Adaptec 2940 U2W PCI card and Pinnacle Turtle Beach ISA sound card. These
two devices use memeory ranges right next to each other. Adaptec card
(according to adaptec) uses occasionally more memory then needed, gets
into the Pinnacle Memory area and you know the result. In NT and other MS
os'es that is resolved by specifically reserving extra memory range for
Pinnacle. Question: Is there, and if there is, what is it way to do it
under Linux. I'm having resource conflict on my sound card. Again, these
two devices use memory next to each other. How could I tell Linux to
make adaptec
use a memory a little bit higher or how could I make certain memory
range above Pinnacle range (around 35 KB above range of
0xc00d8000-0xc00dffff) 'locked - not for
allocation'?

Hi all,
I guess I am still having problem with my cdrom.
I did do some looking in the /proc/ide/ide1/hdc.
There are some files under this directory. They are:
capacity, driver, identify, media, model, settings.
The content of driver, media and model make sense
to me. But the capacity contains 2147483647. Can
somebody tell if this is what supposed to be. I thought
the capacity of a cd is about 650M, not as big as this
number. I also checked into another directory
/proc/ide/ide0/hda which is my first hard drive, the
number there seems to be consistent with the
size of my disk.
Thanks.

Check the actually number printed on the card. If it says CT4750, you are
flat out of luck. The CT4750 (Asian OEM model sold by some American
companies) uses the new ES1373 chipset for which a driver has not been
developed yet. If there is a driver for the ES1373 now, I would appreciate
the correction. It's reported that the OSS drivers have support the the
ES1373 chipset, but will cost you $20.
Good luck,

lol, good luck my friend. When Creative Asia sends me the info I need, I'll
post a full report on our card here and on alt.os.linux.mandrake. You are
correct about the CT4750. The chipset is a new one, ES1373, that I don't

reported to work, although I haven't tried them myself yet. They will cost

I hope you didnt just take irq 3 b/c it wasnt showing up in
/proc/interrupts. You need to have the modem using the same irq as it is
in windows. If not then linux cant find it and will report the modem
isnt responding.

Try using minicom and see if the modem responds with that. If you know
how echo some AT commands, either in minicom or the command line, to the
modem and see if the modem responds with "OK".

If you are looking for PCI goto actiontec.com. I got my modem there
($100) and it works like a charm. Says on teh box and on the website it
works with dos, win3.1, linux, etc. They also give you instructions on
how to configure it in linux. Cant go wrong with it, has some extra
features like call waiting too. if u got the money get this modem.
