I am running 5 Linksys pci cards on my network. All worked out of the box
with Redhat 6.0 to 6.2 and Mandrake 7.0.
Since you posted with Micro$oft os I could not tell which Linux you
want the recomendation.
There are several "linuxes" Red Hat, Slackware, SuSE, Debian, Mandrake,
Caldera, Corel, Yellow Lab, Black Lab, WinLinux, PhatLinux, Linux On A
Floppy, slinux, Trinux, (Rock, Armed, Stampede, Tiny. Power, Coyote) Linux
Kernel rev level (2.0.36) does not help, you could have upgraded/patched it
and you could be running a distro which will not support the card we suggest.

I used to use it with the Millennium II and 2.0.3x kernels, but
haven't bothered to try it with the G400, since in the meantime
console frame buffer support appeared and does a great job (and
gives a cute penguin boot logo).

Do a "cd /dev" "ls -l hd*" This will give you a list of all the hard
disks and tell you their modes as well as major and minor numbers.
Basicly just follow the pattern for the others using the mknod command.

The implications are not related to the specific CPU. They are related
to the kernel version.
The short answer is...
Using Intel machines you will need a 2.3.XX kernel or a 2.4.XX kernel so
as not to have a 2 Gig file size lilitation.

Sounds like a standard "broken APM BIOS" thing to me. Some boards will
get very upset if they're asked to power down from protected mode, with
results like what you describe. The fix is fairly simple--compile a new
kernel with APM support and "Use Real Mode to Power Down" set to Y. HTH,

It is possible that when the system load gets high that the serial lines
are losing data.
I would suggest you try and see how busy the system is when this
happens.
It is also possible that the wiring to your terminals is too long. If
you are using RS232 you should keep the line lengths at < 50 ft. You can
also try running at lower baud rates.

So here´s one of my problems.
I have an ALS-4000 soundcard, and I´d like it be running under Suse Linux

I know there is no specific driver for this card, so I ask you if you know a

My $.02 aggiebucks:
Well, since I'm posting this through a 3C509B, it obviously is supported
in Linux. I never supply any parameters and it always finds my card. I
think I even still have it in PnP mode (but it never hurts to disable
it--some BIOS's are worse than others. NOTE: Always set "PnP OS" is
the BIOS setup to NO/Disabled.). I don't think you want AUI, either. I
leave that setting on AUTO always.
You can test the setup w/o rebooting-- just do "/sbin/modprobe 3c509"
and it should load it. Check "/sbin/lsmod" to make sure it loaded, and
you can look at /proc/interrupts and /proc/loports to see what values
it's using. If that works then remove the "options eth0" line in your
/etc/conf.modules
Hope that helps.

In fact, after checking /var/log/warn is seems that mode 3 and 4, i.e.
-X67 and -X68 aren't supported in the 2.2.14 kernel with Suse6.4,
although by default I think that my drives are running as mode 4 (hdparm
gives the UDMA modes as 'UDMA modes: mode0 mode1 mode2 mode3 *mode4
mode5' and -X64 to -X66 give much slower rates than just setting -d1 and
not specifying any -X settings). I'm not sure, though, whether I am
getting UDMA support from 2.2.14 or not. Looks like I am but I'm
wondering whether you can get better rates than 35MB/s.

It appears Redhat decided to be different from the rest. I am running RH
6.1, but I think it is the same for 6.2. It does not have sr_mod by
default, and the other module is "sg" rather than sg_mod. Try adding
these lines to /etc/conf.modules:
options ide-cd ignore=hdc
alias scd0 sg
pre-install sg modprobe ide-scsi
You may not need the first line, but it certainly won't hurt. Now if you
run "cdrecord -scanbus", the correct modules should be automatically
loaded. Also, you probably want to change the symbolic link /dev/cdrom.
This is the reference used in /etc/fstab, and I think is also used by
the audio CD players.
# rm /dev/cdrom
# ln -s /dev/scd0 /dev/cdrom
This should work, with the one caveat being that the automounter won't
work. The only way I could get the automonter to work was to recompile
the kernel with some different options. And while that may sound
traumatic, it turns out to be surprisingly easy. If you want to go this
extra step, you might want to take a look at:

Subject: Re: Best practice clustering/failover
Date: Mon, 29 May 2000 18:02:41 GMT
If you want the best and most reliable, you will have to abandon Linux and
go with systems that are dedicated to uptime. I work everyday with Stratus
system and these are not failover systems, but true hardware fault tolerant
system. I know that they have HP-UX available. These systems are not
cheap, but uptime is measured in years (not kidding!). This is what is used
at many banks and brokerage houses that require the best.
The next level down would be failover clustering. A client of mine just put
in a failover cluster of AIX boxes. In this scenario, a backup machine is
running (but not in lockstep) and will take over if the primary machine
ceases to function. This is the extent of my knowledge of this type of
arrangement, except that I understand that it requires some application
support to be effective. It also is not instantaneous in that failover does
take some noticable time. I suspect that in the end, when you are done with
the additional licenses and so forth, this is just as if not more expensive
than the Stratus (or Tandem) based solution.
One more idea to kick around is that for web hosting (and I am definately
not an expert here), why would you consider failover at all? HTTP is a
memory-less protocol and unless you are doing some rather extensive
transaction processing, why not just run a parallel server and let network
hardware load balance you. Provided you have enough capacity in each server
to support you when you have a single machine failure, you should get
transparent failover (almost). This is also probably the cheapest way to
go.
Hope this helps,

As I recall I had to set up the mouse wheel after installation of Red
Hat.

You have to change your /etc/X11/XF86Config file so that it matches
Section "Pointer"
Protocol "IMPS/2"
Device "/dev/mouse"
ZAxisMapping 4 5
EndSection
and then configure individual programs to use it (anything GTK-based
will have native support, programs like netscape can be configured to
use it).
