Hi,
Has anyone managed to get a linux system to boot from a 120MB ls120
superfloppy?
So far i have tried:
make bzdisk (changing /dev/fd0 for /dev/hdb which is the ls120)
results: I get a crc error when 'Uncompressing Linux...'
treating the ls120 as a hard disk and installing lilo in the MBR of /dev/hdb
results: at bootup lilo reports
LILO
Error 0x01
creating a partition on the ls120 and installing lilo in /dev/hdb1
results: 'LIL' ... hang...
Anyone have any ideas?! Im sure it's possible, but I'm not having much luck
yet!!!
Kieran.

You don't say what model 1542; I've had problems with the 1542CF
and the floppy enable/disable conflicting with that on the
motherboard. You can (obviously) only have one turned on at a time

Subject: Only 64Mb of 192Mb main memory is recognised

Yesterday I decided to enlarge my Linux root partition, and at the same time
upgrade my RedHat 6.0 system (kernel 2.2.5-15) to RedHat 6.2 (kernel
2.2.14). I did this with a fresh fdisk/format/install. Installing RedHat 6.2
went without troubles, restoring the backups of /home and /usr/local went
also fine, but after a while I discovered that my shiny new Linux system
recognises only 64Mb of the 192Mb of physical memory I have in my system.
Since I am very sure that this has nothing to do with broken memory modules
(I did never ever encounter any stability problems with both RedHat 6.0 and
Windows 2000 Pro, not even when using all available memory) or overclocking
(I restored the system into it's original state), I thought this was a
problem with the standard kernel delivered with RH6.2, so I decided to
recompile the kernel myself, and making it a 686 kernel. Compiling and
installing the new kernel went fine, but the system still only recognises
64Mb of RAM. 128Mb is 'lost'.
I am running an Athlon 600 @ 700 on a AMD750 (IronGate) based mainboard.
Does anyone know what causes this problem?
Thanks in advance.

What are Dabs actually selling? - they don't have any info, just a
link to the vasco site (http://www.vasco.de). The manufacturer codes
are given as "SH 1000" which I can't find on vasco's site, the "PE
200" which is 4U and the "FE 20220" which also isn't listed. The
latter could be a misprint for either the PE 202, which is 2U (but
there's only a picture) or the PE 220 which is 7U.
Anyway try Evolution (http://www.evol.co.uk), they do 1U and 2U cases
- I'm currently trying to buy some of the 2U cases from them so we'll
see how good they are

Date: Wed, 28 Jun 2000 13:01:28 +0200
I got problems when I record a videostream from v4l with Broadcast2000
to disk.
When I use the 1st settings (see the following outputs) I get a frame
loss about
1 frame per second.
The frames are mostly lost at the ide interrupts, checked with xosview.
Using the 2nd settings its only about 1 frame per minute, but the ide
mode seems
to be the slower one !
Currently Im running kernel 2.2.16 with the ide patches on an Epox 7KXA
with
Athlon 600, ide-chipset is via vt82c686a.
Because I think the first settings are for the best ide transfermode
(UDMA) it
may be a driver problem?
BUT when I use a NMC - 6BEX Board with an PIII 550 and BX Chipset (same
kernel without via support) anything works as expected !!!

Hi Bart,
This is a FAQ so I suggest you read the manpages/info of lilo(.conf) and
check dejanews.com/usenet for a more thorough answer. I don't know the
exact syntax, but try at the lilo prompt linux append="mem=192m" or
something like that

Kosh the curve or Kosh the alien which lives in an up-turned dustbin with a

Actually, come to think of it, the curve type is spelt 'Koch', I think.
I'm sure you life is nice and confusing, refering to machines with the same

Not really.
Travan NS-20 drives hold 10G uncompressed.
DDS-3 DAT holds 12G uncompressed
DDS-4 DAT holds 20G uncompressed.
Ecrix makes a 33G (uncompressed) drive.
OnStream makes drives that hold 15G and 25G uncompressed.
There are also larger capacity drives based on 8mm and DLT mechanisms.
There are also changers which can auto-load multiple tapes, if your
bacup size gets to be really huge.

Some are, some aren't. Travan NS-20 drives aren't terribly expensive.
DLT drives are very expensive.
DAT is one of the more expensive media. On the other hand, there are
less expensive form factors that may also work well.

But right now, there is exactly one motherboard available that this chip
supports. At least according to AMD's web site. Personally, I'd wait
until someone with a better reputation than FIC ships a Socket-A board.

Check your operating system's hardware compatibility list if you're
worried.
A lot of motherboards use Adaptec chipsets. According to the
README.aic7xxx file (in /usr/src/linux/drivers/scsi), just about all
non-RAID SCSI boards and motherboards based on the AIC-7xxx chipset are
compatible. (The hardware-RAID boards - AAA-13x and AAA-113x - are not
supported.)
I use this driver with an Adaptec 2940UW. it works well with the single
hard drive I have attached to it. (I run my other three SCSI devices
off of an old AHA-1542B card, so the non-Ultra devices don't drag down
the performance of the Ultra-Wide hard drive.)
The Tyan dual-Slot-1 board with on-board SCSI and Ethernet is their
"Thunder 2400". Its two SCSI channels are based on the Symbios 896
chip. The on-board Ethernet is based on the Intel 82559 chip. Both of
these chips have Linux drivers in the base distribution, but I won't
recommend them because I have no personal experience with them.
Since you already have a Linux setup, your best bet here is to get the
specs on the chips that drive the on-board ports and see if your
distribution includes working drivers for them.

Ah. Say no more. Extra RAM never hurts. The only reason you might not

They definitely cost more. Whether they are worth the extra cost is not
a decision I'm going to make for someone else.
At home, I use both SCSI and IDE drives. I use the SCSI drives on the
computers whre I want top performance, and IDE on the computers where I
don't care and just want it to be cheap.

OK. Now that I know what you need, let me recommend a card for you:
ATI Xpert98.
This card typically sells for under $100. Often for under $50, if you
look in the right places. It's an 8M card based on the ATI RagePro
chip. This chip is well supported by XFree86 via the Mach64 driver. It
can generate just about any resolution you can think of. (Maximum
officially supported resolution is 1600x1200 @85Hz.)
(Mach64-based) chip. It's reasonably fast, and can generate just about
any monitor frequency you like. XFree86 supports it very well.
The BIOS is VESA compatible. Here's ATI's spec sheet:

Unfortunately, dealing with clueless (or worse, lying) shopkeepers is a
fact of life at flea markets. You have to go in there knowing what you
want.
I usually only buy a few brands that I'm familiar with (like Tyan, ASUS
and a few others). I make a point of reading a board's manual and
examining the chips on its surface for information. I rarely listen to
what the dealer is saying - they'll often say anything in order to make
a sale.
Mail order is often better if you don't want to deal with this. You can
gather prices from a wide variety of places, then go to the
manufacturer's web sites to compare features.

Could someone recommend a good app for adjusting bass/treble, etc. for
this card (creative ensoniq 1371). I just this card and it works good
(NO CPU time when listening to Tchaikovsky CD, and less than 1000
interrupts used for entire CD). But i need to be able to adjust bass
when listening to CDs. I use KDE.

Right. The forum moderator in HP support forum told me explicitely that
this information are not disclosed.
No reason was given, BTW. I think that HP style really sucks.
The printer are fairly good, but the driver are poorly written, even the
windows drivers.

Are you sure /dev/hdc6 is the correct partition? Run 'cfdisk /dev/hdc' to
have a look-see at the partition table.

Hi there,
my modem was reported as COM4 in Windows98 but under Linux Redhat 6.1 I
found it as COM3
(/dev/ttyS2). Don't trust to Win98 I bet that you will find it on same
port - but check taht it supported.

are you using RH? you must alias your eth1 to
the 3c509 module in /etc/conf.modules (modules.conf)
file.
ie alias eth1 3c509

of ever worse.... your listening to some mp3's for a couple of hours
and
in the meantime your talking to your friends using licq... after you
stop
playing mp3's you'l have to listen to 1000x times the licq tune being
queued....
btw. i've got a 1371 and the same problem. probably the same driver,
or
almost the same
