Thank you for the nice discussion.
I actually got them to take it back tomorrow. Therefore it would be the end of story. I
am actually willing to find out what was going on with this particular computer. But at
any rate it is a really strange behavior. I called 5 or 6 support reps. They could
figure out what problem that is. A jumper problem? I do think that is possible. But
that
is the only hard disk. If it is not set as the master drive do you really think the
machine can still boot normally from hard disk? Hey, I know the BIOS setting crap.

Really, when you have a problem with something new, http://linuxdoc.org is
the *FIRST* place you should look. Then go on over to
http://deja.com/home_ps.shtml and search for keywords in the Linux
newsgroups. Or you can have a look at /usr/doc/howto or similar and
see what you find. The first thing is knowing where to look, the second
thing is following the directions, the third thing is knowing how to ask
for help if the first 2 don't work.

I tried to install mandrake linux 7.0 on my computer and share it with Win
98 on the same drive. Somehow the partision did not work out right and I had
to format the C:. I ended up putting Win 98 back on for now. I also have a
D: that I have a lot of files like mp3 and what not on there. It also
screwed up the partision on the D:. I am wondering if I install linux and
the D: will I lose all the files on the drive that are already there since
the partision is already messed up. I don't what kind of partision is on
the D: right now but I do know that Windows will not recognize it. Thanks

Does anyone know of a driver or a technique to use this card with any flavor
of Linux? I have tried it, and it is flat-out not recognized. DRT has been
as useful as a football bat in helping to solve this problem. Due to my
existing Win95 and NT setup, I really can't blow away my drives and start
over, and of course, Linux needs to be installed to a drive on the DRT
controller.
Also, has anyone had luck getting Linux to work properly with the SIS
5597/5598 video controller chips? On my machine it results in an unusable
display.
Thanks in advance all!!!

Definitely do the athlon - too many people are having problems with the
abit board, both in and out of linux-land. A friend of mine just spent a
week trying to get his stable, to no avail (w/o overclocking at all).
On the other hand, mine works flawlessly after about a week of severe pain
shuffling cards and hard drives.

I'll ask again -- How can I make an ATX machine powerup automatically
after a power outage? It can't have anything to do with the BIOS
because the BIOS can't be read until after power is on.
I'm sure someone knows how to do this. Do I just hardwire the power
button?

I considered the same configuration a few weeks ago and I decided to buy
the Athlon:
pros
- The Athlon should be faster due to the bus
- The Athlon does not cost very much more.
- I read an article in a magazine that was about a year old which stated
that two Celerons are not faster than a PIII with 600 MHZ.
cons:
- I you want to develop SMP software the dual-board will be your choice.

Subject: es1371.o ensoniq sound missing symbol
Hi, I have a 2.2.14 kernel which is super-ku.
I'm having a problem getting sound to work with an ensoniq card 1371
(which is supported). I compiled the appropriate modules (es1371.o
sound*.o etc) and put them in /lib/modules/2.2.14). I then ran
/usr/sbin/sndconfig
and it saw my card and the drivers fine but complained thusly:
es1371.o: unresolved symbol
synchronize_irq
es1371.o: unresolved symbol
waitqueue_lock
Any idea of how to fix this problem? Do I have to recompile my kernel
again? If so, what is important for those unresolved symbols to become
resolved again?
Any help would be extra ku.
Vij.

I also have an AWE64 and SuSE 6.3. It works fine with the
OSS drivers. They are commercial, but if you bought SuSE
6.3, you got a `free' (i.e. pre-paid) license for them.
