Subject: Would like to build a Linux system
Date: Thu, 1 Jun 2000 22:17:53 -0400
Hello! I'm very, VERY new to Linux and have only dabbled with it slightly,
but would like to get to know it better.
I'd like to build a new system to run it on, and would like to know if I can
find a hardware compatibility list somewhere? I've built several Windows
PC's no problem, but want to make sure I don't get into any devices that
aren't supported. Any input would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

Excuse me if this response is a bit late, but...
I've also got a WinTV card, and had the same problem. I fixed it by load=
ing
the tuner module with a "type=3D2" option.
I tried adding a line in conf.modules to set this option, but couldn't ge=
t to
work. I ended up adding two lines to a startup file (/etc/rc.d/rc.local)=
:
insmod i2c
insmod tuner type=3D2

Check the options for the kernel patch for your particular IDE
chipset. Chances are it's not set up optimally... for my VIA MVP3
chipset, I got better results by booting the kernel with the option
"splitfifo=1" which gave all the UDMA FIFO to the first IDE channel where
my hard drives are. You will probably have to look at the source for the
chipset driver for this info.
Doing this improved hdparm benchcrufts from 15M/s to about 17M/s, which is
OK, but I went from 10M/s to 15M/s by using kernel 2.3.99-pre3 instead of
2.2.14. Also make sure hdparm is running with the right options.
"hdparm -m16 -u1 -c1 /dev/hdX" is generally what you want; attempting to
enable or tweak the DMA settings via hdparm often results in lower
performance than just leaving them alone.
Also, keep in mind that the HDA on your drive is limited in the amount of
data it can transfer in a second. 7200 RPM IDE drives seem to top out at
around 20M/s. By the time a drive can deliver 66M/s, Marketing will have
us all buying UDMA/256.

The compatability lists I've seen are all kind of outdated. Things move
fast, and the development kernel supports a lot of things the stable
kernel doesn't quite do yet. The best bet, I think, is to get the
official source for the latest 2.2.X kernel and take a look at
linux/Documentation/Configure.help . Almost every device that the kernel
supports is listed in there in some fashion. Keep in mind that brand
names aren't listed, though... just chipset designations. Easy, if you
know that "Ensoniq AudioPCI97" = "ES1371 chipset."
Also, decide on some components first, then see if they're supported via
that method. http://xfree86.org/3.3.6/ has info on which video cards are
supported in the latest stable X release--look there. Finally, the Linux
Hardware Database has a bunch of reader-submitted stuff on various
hardware bits. http://linhardware.com HTH, good luck...

Matt,
Thanks for the very helpful reply! The Linux Hardware Database link you
gave me was especially helpful. I like the Abit BE6-II motherboard and was
hoping I could use it...checks out ok.
Thanks again for the help, it's much appreciated.

Hello Gang.
I've got an Epson Stylus Photo 700 that is absolutely going haywire
whenever I try to print something. I've doubled checked the settings
and I believe everything is all set. However, even when I try to print
a simple text file containing one word the printer ends up shooting
dozens of sheets through with nothing printed on them!
Could I please see someone's /etc/printcap file for an espon stylus
photo 700? If you've successfully setup your epson stylus 740 that
would probably do too.
THANKS!

They both are reported to work under Linux. I however own an
Abit BE6 motherboard with the HPT366 controller built in and
am not even using it with my UDMA/66 drive. I could go into
details if you want, but I think the consensus would
agree--stay away from the Highpoint controller. I've had
nothing but trouble with it and there have been BIOS updates
after BIOS updates.
Also consider that I have no experience with the Promise
controller, so... I'm biased. You should get opinions from
people who have experience with both.

I've never heard of a parallel port modem. Are you sure it's not a
serial one, just using a big (db25) connector instead of the smaller
(db9) one? My external modem also has a bigger and a smaller connector,
but this doesn't make it parallel port :)

Hi-
Someone just donated to me a Packard Bell computer :) Yes, I know
they're mostly crap, but I think every piece of hardware deserves a
chance.
While examining the motherboard, I noticed it has a BT 829 chip close to
the integrated S3-Virge video chip, and also a pair of video in and out
connectors in the back - so I think it has some video capture
capabilities. Anyway, I didn't find any mention of the BT 829 in the
Hardware-HOWTO, and a web search only showed that this chipset is used
in the ATI tv capture boards. I didn't find any mention of drivers for
Linux.
If you're aware of a way I could get it going, please let me know. TIA,
MST

Hi,

Try this first:
1) modprobe 3c59x
Hopefully you don't see any output on stdout.
Next, try:
2) ifup eth1
3) then do an *ifconfig*
4) look for eth1
if this doesn't work try
ifconfig eth1 <some_ip_address>
then *ifconfig* again.
If these options work try the stuff below to fix your boot problems.
I think this is due to something going wrong in your /etc/conf.modules
file.
Look for something like:
alias 3c59x
Also check /lib/<kernel_you_are_running>/net/ to see what modules you
have compiled for networking. If you don't see the module for your card you
will be doing all that linuxconf crap till your blue in the face.

Yeah I figured it was something like that, don't have the system anymore
to investigate. Kind of makes it hard to install Linux on the system when
it requires a specific kernel version.
Incidentally, the machine I was working on stated PERC 2/si during the
bootup, it was definately the adaptec card (I checked the chips on the
board). It was not a megaraid card, it was onboard. There must be a lot
of different version of these cards floating around.
