Hello. I am running RedHat 5.2 with a SBPro 2 soundcard. I configured
the card using sndconfig. IO=0x220, IRQ=5 DMA=1. The sample sound worked
and I have no trouble playing .au files. I have not been able to record
any sounds though! I use aumix and set the MIC to record and high
volume. I try recording with 'dd bs=8k count=3 < /dev/audio > test.au'
but no sound is captured. I try using yarec-0.65 but this does not work
either. However, it gives me the message '22050Hz not supported by
driver, using 21739' Can anyone help?

Goto www.cisco.com to get some information on this.
Why is your office going to Gigabit Ethernet? Unless you have more than
10 machines on that net, each machine will have at least 100mb of
bandwidth to itself. Thus, you will saturate the 133mb PCI bus (2 way
traffic equal to 200mb) on each machine, not to mention the HDs if you
try to get full use of your network. It just sounds like overkill.
A point to point Gigabit link might be nice to move information from one
building to another, but you'd require specialized hardware at each end
to handle the load.
Perhaps you should look at your network's requirements again before
jumping into this expensive proposition.

Hi Dave,
If you need a complete system look around the big makers (Dell, HP, Compaq,
IBM). They all offer Linux compatible systems (I "have" some Dell Poweredge
4400s and those have 66/64 PCI slots (hot-swap even, but Linux doesn't supports
it unfortunately).
If motherboard, then I don't have a clue (try Intel).

Greetings,
I recently got a dell poweredge 2450 server, and am having an amusing time
trying to get any distros to recognize the raid controller and how to play
w/ it.
Box info:
Dell poweredge 2450
dual p3-733
1 gb ram
4 9g ultra3 scsi drives, will be using raid5
poweredge raid 3/si controller
adaptec aic-7899 scsi controller
Tried FreeBSD 4.0.. it found the controller, but couldnt figure out quite
what to do with it. Will try 5.0 later, in case a newer driver is avail.
Have tried using somewhat older distros of slackware/suse/debian that I had
lying around, and will try the most recent ones as soon as they finish
burning.
Has anyone setup one of these servers with linux/*bsd?

I had the same problem before. By default, scanimage and xscanimage works only if
you are the root user. Therefore, you either need to "su" in a terminal window to
become root, or setuid root on these programs. I don't know if you can install
sane as a regular user on your home directory, never tried this. IMHO, you don't
need to specify arguments to make it work (at least, I don't!).

Likewise, no problems with my RedHat 6.2 box and SB Live!, with the driver
downloaded from creative's web site. Just a word of caution for Logitech WingMan
Extreme Digital 3D joystick users: it sets the gameport I/O address to 0xb800,

Hi,
you should buy UPS and configure Linux to talk with it. Othervise what
can happen if power will cut off at moment when system mount or check
disk - there is no any warranty that you will not lost all data on HDD.
Keep setting reboot on power on as most UPS do not pass voltage till

Subject: Two network cards on same subnet
Date: Fri, 30 Jun 2000 20:09:32 +0100
Hi Guys,
System specs:
RH 6.1/6.2, Intel Pro 100+ cards (mb intergated/add-on card), kernel 2.2.14 (I
will upgrade to 2.2.16) w/multicasting enabled
Situation I:
I have some servers with two network cards in each to have some redundancy and
if I set up both cards to be on the same subnet (192.168.0.0) and same
address/different address then if I unplug the cable from the first card (eth0)
that box stops reaching the network until I plug is back.
Question I:
Is there any solution to make the two cards work in parallel?
Situation II:
Same setup, as above, but I down the eth0 and only use eth1 to access the
network. I want to use IP multicast on them/this. I set up the 224.0.0.0 network
to be routed though the eth1 (route add -net 224.0.0.0/4 dev eth1) then ping
224.0.0.1 does not give back any replies. If I up the eth0 (nothing else is
changed!) everything work fine and all the machines replies (NOTE: the network
is working OK with eth1 only, and I can ping any normal IP address on the net or
connect to any machine!!!!).
Question II:
Is this a bug/feature in Linux kernel?
I'm not a newbie, but I'm on a tight schedule and I don't have too much time
to read all the docs again (I've dealt Linux before, but for the past 4 years I
dealt with Win9x mainly). So if the answers are in one or more of the
FAQs/HowTos/Guides shipping with standard distros or found on the net then just
reply RTFM and the manuals containing the answers (ULRs too).

Date: Fri, 30 Jun 2000 19:02:37 GMT
OK. I've read tons of messages in this newsgroup about people having
problems with the aha1542 driver. Is the adapter a problem or is the
driver a problem? Should people just throw these cards out?
I have a single SCSI drive attached to the cable. The SCSI adapter
itself is terminated @ the centronix port, the dip is Enabled for
hardware termination, and the drive is configured as Target 0.
There are two pin blocks having to do with termination power. There
titles are:
a) Drive Supplies Bus and
b) Drive Supplies own and finally
c) Bus Supplies Drive
Which one of these is the one I should select??? I would prefer if a
jumper just said Terminator on/off, but that's not one of my choices,
and selecting where the power comes from or where it goes doesn't mean
anything to me and there was little explanation on Seagate's site.
As you can probably guess, the errors I get when the modules tries to
load are:
aha1542.c: Unable to abort command for target 0
aha1542.c: Trying device reset for target 0
aha1542.c: Unable to abort command for target 0
It finally finds the information its looking for, but it finds it again
and again for devices 1-6.

Since most scanners (at least the ones I've used) pretend to be keyboards,
no special support is needed to use one under Linux. As far as your
software is concerned, all input is from the keyboard. All you need to do
is make sure the scanner is configured to emulate a PC/AT keyboard...most of
'em come with setup barcodes that you scan to configure it however you
want.)

Hi maelmord,
I "have" some 2450s too, and although they were factory preinstalled with
RH6.1/RH6.2 they work fine. I would advise you to get a RH6.2. And by the way on
which do you want to have the boot drive, 'cos all "my" servers boot from RAID1

You just need to give the right permissions to the generic
scsi devices...

Either that or change the symbolic link, /dev/cdrom, to point to
/dev/scd0. This will help any other program that might rely on
/dev/cdrom.

I have seen a few disk failures myself, but spread over a dozen or so
machines! If you are failing this many on one machine, I would suspect a
heat problem. After running your laptop for awhile, shut it down, open
it up, and feel how hot the disk is. If it is just lukewarm, it should
be okay. But if more then that, you may need to figure out some way to
keep it cooler (although on a laptop, not many options come to mind).

Hi,
did you check that you have BIOS option "Plug and Play OS" turned off?
If not do so and try again.
