Interesting. But why doesn't XFree86 clock the cards to their
abilities by default, and calls it "overclocking" instead?

I'm glad I've got the MAX :-)
I've also fiddled with gmgaclock and can tell you that it is
definitely possible to lock up the system with it ;-)

Hi Hal! Just thought I'd followup since now I see the difference to
some kind of udma! Wow! Just for curiosity's sake, here's some
numbers from bonnie with 2.2.12 kernel:

Now here's the numbers after I compiled 2.3.4 kernel with Promise support(PDC4whatever
driver):

Mine worked fine when installing RH 6.1 for the first time. Make sure SCSI
support is in the kernel you are using to boot from! RedHat has lost of
information online about exactly how to do this.
There is also a HOWTO that will get you through it step by step.

just as an fyi, my kernel build HALVED when I went from the stock
32meg sodimm to a 128meg stick. from a half hour (2.2 series) to 15
minutes.
add the winchip2 as an upgrade and I'm hoping it will be less than 10 minutes.
so the rumors of the i-opener NOT using more than 64meg are a lie.
run 'free' and it does show 128meg.

I find AMD's naming scheme of the K6 family pretty confusing. What
processor type should I select when I build a new kernel for an
AMD-K6-2, "PPro/6x86MX" or "Pentium/K6/TSC"? I thought the K6-2 has
the additional goodies of the PPro (plus the 3D-now stuff). I could be
wrong though... Thanks!

Before Posting, I apologize for asking a question that has
been asked frequently as of late. I've already searched
recent articles in usenet and haven't been successful in
finding The Answer, nor has watching usenet the past week,
Although i've no clue If my question is the exact same.
I'm having Problems with a Recently purchased SB PCI128.
It refuses to produce any sound output whatsoever. I've
tried compiling the es1371 driver into the kernel, and
as a module. Here's The output i get from mpg123:
eyez@xanielle:/mp3> mpg123 -v Futurama-main_theme.mp3

It freezes there, on ANY mp3, at either frame 25 or 24. I have
to hit Ctrl-C.
When I attempt to play an Audio cd, the cd light goes on and is
Nice and happy, but no sound output. Also, if i attempt to play
a Wav file, It acts like it's playing the .wav, and plays for
the entire EXACT duration of the .wav, and exits normally, no
errors.
My initial Thoughts were that it may be a defective card, so I
returned it to the store it came from and exchanged it for the
exact same model. A friend of mine who works for the store has
the very same model, which works fine in linux. I'm wondering
if there may be any type of hardware Conflicts, but I'm unsure
of how to verify this. lspci finds my device happily, and
/proc (from what i can tell. i'm not an expert in dealing with
.proc yet) seems to report everything correctly. And /dev/dsp
gives no errors and doesn't complain about being written to.
I'm wondering if anyone can help me find the Cause of this.
here is a description of my system: IBM Aptiva C3E-2161,
64 Megs Ram, P233MMX Proc, Running Debian/GNU Linux Potato,
with kernel 2.2.14.
Thanks in Advance.

When you rebuilt the kernel, did you follow 'make bzImage' or whichever,
with these two:
make modules
make modules_install ?
You might be missing a driver for one of your NICs. I've never been
able to get dissimilar NICs to work together, though. The box I'm using
has two NICs, and I noticed that my /etc/conf.modules contains this
line: alias eth0 3c509 (along with a lot of stuff I commented out
after floundering around). I do not know whether this is doing anything
at the moment.

I get the same error trying to install an AHA-2930CU in a RH5.1 box I
have upgraded to the 2.0.38 kernel. I already have an IDE CDRW working
in this box, but I cannot get the
actual SCSI adapter past the Device or resource busy message. I know
the card is OK, because I have it working under DOS, but I've tried a
lot of kernel and module settings and nothing works. I think we should
try posting to a kernel newsgroup, maybe those folks can tell us who
init_module is...

Just a note -- 6.0 was released quite some time ago. It is possible that few
video cards currently on the market would be supported. If you rev up to 6.1,
or preferably 6.2 which was just released you might be happier. Since I don't
play Windows games I can't say what is good for them. I believe recent Linuxes
have support for Matrox, 3dfx, Voodoo Banshee, nVidia. I have a Matrox G400
Millenium Max, and it is supported by Red Hat Linux 6.2 (note, I did have
problems with the MAX when I tried to put it in an 233 Mhz Pentium-II on an
ABIT LX motherboard, but it works fine on the 500 Mhz Pentium-III).

Sorry I can't help you there but one thing is for sure: it's NOT the

Date: Mon, 03 Apr 2000 23:39:11 -0500
Hi,
I have a Tyan S1837UANGR. I noticed on Tyan's website that in one place (the
place I looked) they claim that 100MHz FSB coppermines are supported, but on
another page at their site they claim that my particular board revision is not.
The problem is that my motherboard revision is "H" and Tyan says that in order
to use the coppermine you need a revision "G", or "J" and higher (skips the
"H"). I received an email from Tyan saying that the revision letters denote
physical changes in the motherboard, not merely a BIOS revision. So it may be
that merely upgrading the BIOS is enough to get the coppermine to boot, but in
order to properly use the cache a slight board modification is necessary...a
modification that my board does not have.
FYI, I was able to successfully install Win98 as well as Linux and they both
ran great with the exception that both OS' claimed that I had no cache :( .
Unfortunately though, without some sort of real "proof" that the cache is
working properly I don't want to take any chances.
Hope this added bit of info helped.
