That's not the reason. The difference in CPU temperature between idle and 100%
load cannot be that high (17 deg C). I usually see about 2-3 degrees C
difference with a p3/745. I think the difference he observes is due to the fact
that the temp is measured on the motherboard and the BIOS is adjusting for the
CPU temp, which will be higher. In Linux, lm_sensors is probably also adjusting
but by a smaller ratio.

17C is very high, yes. It is possible, however.

He'd find out by seeing if the temperature rises slowly when he enters
the bios. (or, conversely, ...;)
I agree. The bios report is not altogether credible.

No Red Hat should not. The last thing we or Red Hat needs is people asking
questions related to corrupted floppies. We already get enough about bad cd
images. The subject is well covered in the installation documentation, and
the dos method is using the supplied "rawrite" utility.

I had the same problem, funny thing was, the linksys worked in 5.2, 6.0, 6.2
but not 7.0. I was so disappointined. The freekin' card worked in win98
and 2k, but not in rh 7.0. I dl'ed mandrake 7.0, it worked just fine.
At this point, I couldn't believe that hardware which used to work in a
distribution no longer worked. I blew away mandrake partition, re-installed
rh 7.0 and it for some reason worked.
I can't offer any reason why, interupts and io addresses were not changed.

If your IDE/ATAPI Zip is jumpered in Drive A: mode then it will offset
block numbers by 16KB. This skips over the MBR and makes it look like
an unpartitioned drive which is what floppy disks are.
If you do not have then drive strapped in A: mode then are you using
/dev/hdX or /dev/hdX4 as the latter does not include the MBR while the former
does.

Are the speakers connected via a digital cable or analog cable? I have Win2K
and Linux sharing my machine, and could get no sound from Linux until I
reconfigured to use analog sound. This involved reinstalling Win2k, as the
full SBLive software suite only allows you to use digital sound, but the
base Win2K driver only allows analog.
Hope that helps.

I have a Compaq Armada 7800 that uses an ES1879 sound chipset. Redhat 7.0
did not recognize it at install and when I ran sndconfig it was not on the
list. If I install a different ES**** driver it works, sort of. Does anyone
know where to start looking for the driver? I have not had to add any driver
support before so any help on that front would also be appreciated.

Subject: Mouse unstable after XF86Setup - how fix??
Date: Sat, 11 Nov 2000 18:54:03 +1030
I have just used new Voodoo 3 2000 drivers to udate my x server. I am
running Redhat 6.0 x server 3.3.3.5... something...
I can now use my new video card, under x, but both XF86Setup and Xconfig
cannot (even though the correct setup has been chosen) make my mouse
work correctly in x (Gnome 1.0) since I ran the setup progs to get the
card setup.
I have a Microsoft Intellipoint Optical (PS2). It was working
wonderfully on my old video card, so I know it's not a mouse
incompatibility issue. Also, I was using the Intellimouse driver on
install which worked wonderfully before.
Does anyone know a utility or module procedure which my fix my problem
that doesn't use the XFConfig utilities? They stuffed it up in the first
place.
I have tried: gpm -t imps2 ( works correctly in console); - ensuring
setup is psaux, or ps2, or even Intellipoint, or mouse (for the dev
device), or /dev/gpmdata, but none of this works.
My mouse is _there_ (in x), however it goes wild at the slightest
touch, and opens and shuts apps at random.

Subject: D-Link DFE-530TX NIC trouble
Date: Sat, 11 Nov 2000 09:59:41 GMT
I am having trouble configuring a D-Link DFE-530TX ethernet card. I get
errors
like "init_module: Device or resource busy" when I try to load the driver.
"via-diag" finds the adapter at the expected address and the adapter appears
to work all right in Windows.
I have also checked that the "PnP OS" setting in the BIOS is turned off,
which
was a suggestion I saw in a previous post. I have included the output
from modprobe, via-diag, lspci, and dmesg below in case they are useful
in solving this problem.
Does anyone have a suggestion as to how to fix this?
Thanks,
Brent
