Also the kernel may be trying to boot to the drive and partition it was
compiled on, which may be the wrong partition for your laptop. You may
need to use 'rdev' to tell vmlinuz on the floppy which partition is / on
the laptop.

I have a K7 800. I take it riva tntII is a video card? I don't know much
about them (nor care an awful lot -- I'm not a gamer; I just want
the desktop to look good at 1024x768 or higher resolution with high color).

Is there a list somewhere? I thought there was supposed to be a
list of compatible hardware at the RedHat site but I haven't
had any luck finding it.

Not sure I understand all this. The motherboard has drivers for the CD
and they don't work? How'd you get Linux installed in the first place
if you can't work the CD? Or is it only CD-audio that doesn't work?

I ran into this and for me a was a CDROM applet that was 'watching' for
disk changes or whatever. I just close it now, until I need it. I doubt
seriously this would hurt anything, assuming that's what it is.

Date: Sat, 23 Sep 2000 02:21:54 GMT
I've got quite the same problem.
I'm using a dsl connection and configured a masquing gateway with two
interfaces: a 3C509B and a NE2000. One is connected to the internal home
hub and the other is connected to the dsl modem.
I've got both interfaces up and running. Actually from other machine
connected to the hub I have ping responses in about 1ms towards the
gateway, but when I ping FROM the gateway towards other hosts the
packets go away normally (Tx way) but they have problems to arrive (Rx
way) and too many packets are droped.
I've got this same response pinging the internet through dsl modem.
Packets get out easily but are hard to come in.
Conf: Cyryx486dx80/32MB 3C509B-isa (eth0), winbond ne2k compat (eth1),
redhat6.2 (kernel 2.2.14 out of box, no kernel recompile).
What's going wrong?

This should be in your kernel source tree, you may need to recompile your kernel
to use the card.

In my case, it was a damaged CD-ROM controller (this was on one of
those SB16 proprietary interfaces) that Linux was detecting and DOS
wasn't. (Never installed Windows on the machine.) The drive would
work intermittently, but occasionally jam (hardware jam, you could
still mechanically, via hand or paper clip, operate it) either open or
closed.
The reason we had the spare SB16 and CD-ROM lying around, of course,
was that we had removed it from the machine it was in. Want to guess
why? Yup; because it wasn't working. It might be that DOS would have
shown the problem eventually as well, and that we just never used it
enough to see.

It sounds like you did not run lilo to update the boot loader.
It is a bit confusing the first time through but if
you follow the instructions in the README file in the linux source directory (mine
is /usr/src/linux) exactly it should work.

Or,
0. at the LILO: prompt, boot with "linux hdX=ide-scsi", replacing X with
the letter your CD-RW uses. That's a for master on the primary IDE
controller, b for primary slave, c for secondary master, d for secondary
slave.
1. modprobe ide-scsi
2. modprobe scsi_mod
3. modprobe sr_mod
4. modprobe sg
Your CD-RW should be accessible under /dev/scd0 or /dev/scd1, and
cdrecord -scanbus should show you where your CD-RW is living. You can
edit /etc/lilo.conf to put that "hdX=ide-scsi" in every time you boot;
consult the HOWTO for details, and search this NG for keyword "CD-R" to
find loads of info on problems like this. It's

Subject: dual boot linux + win98 -> no access to cd-rom ?
Date: Sat, 23 Sep 2000 08:02:15 +0200
Hye,
Big issue for my tiny head ! and no answer until now from neither from nec
nor my reseller...
I just bought a nec versa ax notebook.
I tried to make a dual boot with Linux and W98 on my laptop. I have now a
serious problem: no way to access to the cd-rom anymore.
I may have crashed the master boot.
I don't have the masterCD to recover my laptop to the original state.
I downloaded on nec's site a program to create a recovery disket. At the end
of running it is asking me a system serial number but my s/n does not work
??
1/ Does anyone think the diagnostic is ok or is there another cause (despite
hardware pb) ?
2/ Is there any way to download the Mastercd somewhere ?
3/ What does mean the system serial number asked by the program run from the
recovery disk. How could I find it ? Is there any program running without
asking it ?
4/ Is there any other program, site, mailing list or newsgroup that could
help us ?
Thanks, really thanks to everybody,
Black Kevin

It is my understanding that you install the Kernel 2.4.x
I presume that you are using a new board since you must be running RH

There have been a number of Unix variants that run on Z80: Cromix was

Well, you missed the Byte Magazine challange (about 1980 or so) to
develop a fax/scanner. IIRC, U of Waterloo (here in Ontario Canada)
came up with a photocell mounted on a movable, geared stand which was
attached to a phonograph player (y'a know, analog audio players <g>).
Mounted on the turntable was an applejuice can to which a document
would be attached, wrapped around the can. The turntable would spin
the document and the photocell would descend, scanning in helixal
lines around the document. A single bit A/D converter was used to
capture the data to a serial port on a computer where the scanned data
was built into a grayscale bitmap of the image.

If it were Black&White TV, then DOS stood for Disk Operating System,
and was written and sold by IBM for use on their S/360 mainframes. DOS
(IBM's mainframe OS) has grown up some, going to DOS/VS, then DOS/VSE,
then VSE/SP, then VSE/ESA. Tbat _other_ DOS is a "Johnny-come-lately"
with the advent of colour cable TV and programming in Pascal.
