Hi,
Im using Athlon 650 with an ASUS K7M board
I wonder how i should get my IDE-device run at adequate speed.
As I looked up in the mainboard - Manual:
"South Bridge System Chipset: VIA VT82C686A PCIset with PCI Super I/O
integrated peripheral cnotroller supports UltraDMA/66, which allows
brust mode data transfers rates up to 66.6 MB/sec."
Im using a kernel 2.2.14 and took the following switshes
# Block devices
#
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_FD=y
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDE=y
# CONFIG_BLK_DEV_HD_IDE is not set
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEDISK=y

the dmesg section is:

That seems to be all right.
But as i copy files from a scsi - volume (which is definately capable to
write 8MB/s) to this ide-drive, performance is at 4,5 MB/sec. if i copy
data within the ide-drive it's only 2,1 MB/sec.
That seems slow. But the worst thing is, as the ide - drive is been
written - you cannot work any-more. Mouse jumps and you cannot even move
windows. Also load goes up to 5 or more.
Does anyone experienced the same? Or even better - got a solution or a
hint for me??
Is there a switch i overlooked?
;-)
Thanks tom

BUT - did you check in the shortcut - options (legacy e-conf tool)
, if some controls you need are not blocked.
which controls for the game would you need?
Did you test another window - manager (I d do a test with fvwm2
("startx fvwm2 -- :1" assuming that you already work on DISPLAY 0)

Correct. An Apple II-to-Imagewriter II cable (DB-25F to mini-DIN-8M)
combined with a DB-25F/F gender-bender will do the job. You could also make
up a cable with the right connectors on each end and wired properly.
This assumes that you're using the DB-25M serial port on your computer. If
all you have are DB-9M serial ports, add in the appropriate adapter.

By default, it's set to 9600 bps, 8/N/1. (I have one that was bought new 15
years ago...haven't fired it up in ages, but it still runs. It's built like
a tank...much heavier than the other dot-matrix printers I have.) I still
have the manual and quick-reference card (with ASCII table and control
codes) someplace (I think the card's still in my desk); I could scan in and
email the reference card or small sections of the manual if anybody's
interested.

Subject: Problems with home-built system
Date: Fri, 29 Sep 2000 10:25:02 -0700
Hello,
I have a tale of two computers running RedHat 6.2. Basically I'm
wondering if anyone would mind inspecting the two hardware
configurations to see if anything jumps out at them. We have installed
a chemistry program (ADF, in case you're interested!) on both of the
machines (one is a Dell Precision 420 Workstation, the other a
home-built machine). The OS installs fine on both machines. The
chemistry software works fine on the Dell box, but on the homemade
system we get error messages of the form "read too many reals" and the
calculation quits with a core dump. The configuration of the home-built
machine is:
Motherboard:
Tyan Tiger 133 (#S1834) Motherboard
Dual Slot 1, 100/133 FSB, 4x AGP, ATX
Processor:
Intel Pentium-III Slot 1 733-EB MHz PC133 Processor
Memory:
2 x 256 MB SDRAM, PC133 168-pin DIMM (32Megx64)
Unbuffered, non-parity, 7.5ns, 3.3V, CL=3
Micron
HDD:
18.3 GB Ultra 160 Wide SCSI 5.2ms, 2MB cache, 10K rpm Western Digital
45 GB EIDE Ultra ATA/66 9.5 ms, 2MB cache, 5400 rpm Western Digital
CDROM:
48X ATAPI IDE CDROM, 85ms, 128K cache, 7200 rpm Mitsumi
Video Card:
Matrox G400 AGP 32MB Single Display
Network Interface Card:
3Com 3C905C Etherlink 10/100 PCI NIC
SCSI controller card:
Adaptec - 29160 Ultra 160 SCSI Controller
We have already ruled out problems with the DIMMS and we get the same
error if we remove the SCSI card and drive from the machine. Can anyone
comment on the quality of the motherboard we're using? Does it make a
difference that we only have one CPU installed on the motherboard?
Thanks very much for any information you can provide.
Best wishes,
Matt

I got IRQ timeouts when I tried to use DMA on the VIA chipset in the K7M.
No amount of patches fixed it.
I fixed the problem by using a Promise Ultra66 controller.
I loaded Hedrick's patches of Aug 25:

Subject: Modem problem
Date: Fri, 29 Sep 2000 21:07:21 +0100
Hi,
I have an old 14.4kbs modem attached to my serial port. I got the card
off a friend who has had it working under linux (so it's not a
winmodem). The card works fine on my dual boot machine under the Evil
Empire (98 edition) but not under linux.
The card is attached to COM4, with irq of 3, port address of 0x02e8 and
uart of 16550A according to Windoze.
When linux starts (SuSE 6.4) it detects the serial ports with the same
information as above. Using YaST I have linked /dev/modem to
/dev/ttyS03, not that its that important but I have done it anyway.
Then I have tried to use wvdial to autodetect the card and that comes up
with nothing, it just cycles through the baud rates for each port and
detects nothing.
I have used setserial with a range of settings for all of the ports,
varying irq's, addresses and uart's and tried connecting with it using
kpp - no luck.
I tried pnpdump but all I get from that is my sound card, so I assume
its not a plug and play modem.
It's not in a PCI slot so I haven't done any of the PCI stuff.
My friend, who I got it from also has no idea what the problem is, he
said it worked fine for him and he didn't have to try any of the above.
The permissions on the modem are correct, according to the YaST modem
setup information and also pppd is running.
I've looked at the mini-HOWTO's that came with SuSE and browsed the web
a bit to try and find more info. I have done virtually all I can think
of and this is my hope for an answer.
So, anyone got any great ideas on how I can get this to work before I go
shopping for a new modem to replace it. I know it's slow but it was
free, so I'd like to get it to work, otherwise I will have to spend my
student beer money on a new one.
Thanks in advance,
Giles

Have you tried using hdparm?
hdparm -d1 -m16 -u1 -c1 /dev/hda
hdparm -d1 -m16 -u1 -c1 /dev/hdc
"man hdparm" to find out what these do. The -d1 option *MAY* cause
problems, so try it without that first. If these help out (and they
should, especially -u1 and -m16) then put those commands into
/sbin/init.d/boot.local or /etc/rc.d/rc.local so they'll be executed
automagically upon bootup.

Hello!
I've just bought 64 MB ram for my computr and installed it. When I'm
running win2000 the system knows that I've got 128MB (64+64) now.
But under Linux when Itype the command free -t i get this output:

For me that looks like 64 MB of ram all together, but I'm not sure. (maybe
I understand something wrong)
I also looked at the file /proc/meminfo this is the output

Hi all,
I am trying very hard to get kernel 2.4.0-test8 to recognize the Promise
Ultra66 PCI IDE add-on card -- based on PDC 20265.
The motherboard is a FIC SD-11 (Athlon 700). The only other PCI card is
a
D-link quad ethernet card (DFE-570TX).
The kernel correctly recognizes the card as a PDC-20265, but the drives
on
the controller are not recognized. The drive is a standard IBM 4.3 G
IDE
drive.
The card is in PCI Slot-1 (next to the AGP slot). The award BIOS doesn't
recognize the card. I dont' see anything in the BIOS boot messages that
say
"Promise Ultra66".
The odd thing is that, the motherboard won't boot unless I disable the
BIOS
interrupts for the addon card -- this is an option in one of the award
BIOS
setup screens.
The rest of the box is a clean install of SuSE 6.4.

I did try:
"ide2=0x1170,0x1376"
on the command line -- but, it didn't make any difference.
Looking at pdc202xx.c doesn't yield any helpful hints for me to try.
Unfortunately, this box has _never_ had any other OS other than Linux --
infact, it is a brand new box assembled from parts. So, I can't verify
if
lesser OSen can see the card.
I'd appreciate if anyone can share their experiences and thoughts on
where I
might try to find a fix for this.
Thanks.

Ahhh, yes, grasshopper.
Your BIOS lies to both LILO (Linux) and Win2000 and tells them both
that there is only 64M in your system. Win2000 doesn't believe it and
checks itself, but LILO, on the other hand, trusts the BIOS and
accepts this figure.
There are ways to fix this:
- You can get the most current LILO, which now no longer trusts the
BIOS and computes the size itself,
- You can tell your current LILO to ignore the BIOS, and use a fixed
value that you supply (an 'append mem=128M' line in your lilo.conf
file), or
- You can replace your BIOS with one that doesn't lie.
Of the three choices, the first is the best all-round solution, the
second is the most expedient solution, and the third is the most
costly solution.

I have the same set, but I'm running RedHat 6.2. Until I replaced the
provided batteries in the keyboard it wasn't very reliable. That's
better now, but now when I haven't touched the mouse for a few minutes
and move it again, strange things happen: windows suddenly are moved,
resized or disappear. I think I'll replace the mouse batteries RSN!
