RE crossover cable:

I recommend obtaining a RJ45 "extension" plug - female to female -
take it apart, cross pins 1 to 3 & 2 to 6, then reassemble it.  

With a crossover plug you can use 2 *standard* network cables for a
peer-to-peer connection.  Why bother?  Well, you don't have a
non-standard cable to get confused with standard cables, & in general
you need 2 cables anyway so you choose: either 2 standards & a
crossover plug, or a crossover cable & a standard cable.

Which pin is pin 1?  Here's something I saved that some [now] unknown
soul offered up:

                Peer-To-Peer Ethernet 10baseT

        1&2 and 3&6 are transmit and receive differential
        pairs. (forgot which is which), but in order make a
        crossed-over cable you need to wire:

           pin 1 to pin 3
           pin 2 to pin 6

Date: Tue, 14 Nov 2000 11:34:20 -0500

I am trying to install RH 6.0 and 7.0 on a dual processor Gateway 5400.
I boot from the install floppy and all goes well until probing the
PCI bus at which the system freezes and is completely unresponsive. It
has an adaptec 29160N SCSI card for drives but removing the card and
harddrives has the same result so its not any card PCI card hanging.
I have been successful with dual processor boxes from Gateway but this
new machine has a newer bios with a stupid GUI.  I suspect the bios is
the problem.  Anybody have similar experiences, fixes or advice?

Thanks.

Frank,
     In line with your statement I am considering the Asus CUBX-E
which looks quite suited for linux (and windows if need be).  It is
based on the 440BX chipset which seems to be considered more stable by
some in the linux community.  I am wondering though if the i815
motherboards would not be a better choice.  Thank you for your
comments.

Best Regards,
Ed

Subject: Re: Linux dies with new Athlon
Date: Tue, 14 Nov 2000 17:12:34 GMT

Tom,
Thanks for the response, and I understand your point.  My decision to go
with a VIA chipset was based on my past experience. Previous to this I was
running a IWILL XA100 plus (VIA chipset) with a K6 - 450 and a (I can't
think of the name of the motherboard off the top of my head) with a Celeron
535, using a variety of different drives at one time or another (Quantum,
IBM, Maxtor.) I never experienced problems with any of these systems. I was
able to use optimization with both. (according to HDPARM I was able to boost
throughput from 3MB/Sec to 12 MB/Sec with my IWILL board and with my current
ABITS optimization has boosted my throughput from 5 MB to about 30MB/Sec, a
healthy increase) of these setups.

I have experienced one thing that is unique with my current system. On
bootup, the system reports the cly/head/sector count that is set in the
bios, linux says this is wrong and says it will ignore it.  If you view the
drive specs in /proc it reports the physical and logical parameters of the
drive. The logical numbers match what is in the BIOS.

Is it possible that this the method of drive access, (LBA,CHS,LARGE) could
have something to do with my problem. I am certain  that this is a drive
access problem, since I have seen it lock up on heavy drive (write) access
and have seen the results of FSCK when I reboot.  I am just not ready to
admit that it is a VIA problem and not a chipset/drive mismatch problem.
Since I am a Quantum fan, I have not loyalty to WD. I could easily take the
drive back and get a different manufacture.

Jim

I am considering placing a 700Mhz Celeron on an Asus CUBX mb, but the
manual does not list the new 700Mhz jumper settings (Only goes up to
550).  This mb (CUBX-E) only came out two months ago so I imagine it
supports the Celerons at that speed.  How does one set this properly?
Or is it some kind of autodetect?

I had a GateWay 5300 freeze with both RH 6.2 and SuSE during installation. The
support teams for both are disappointing, to say the least. My machine has a
touchpad, and probably yours too. After many frustrating hours I found that
disabling *the mouse* from the bios menu helped. After the installation, turn it
back on. (I found that only yesterday, so I can't be certain everything works
yet ...)

Subject: zip drive - large file problem
Date: Tue, 14 Nov 2000 19:02:12 GMT

Having a problem with zip drive and a large file of about 44 MB. Using
redhat 5.1, linux 2.0.35 (gcc version 2.7.2.3). formatted zip disk for
native linux.

When initially saving the file to the zip disk, the only way I could get it
to copy (cp -ar) without error was to copy it alone without any other files.
then about 80% of the time it would copy without error messages. if i tried
to copy the file with others it gave errors 100% of the time.

now when I have tried to transfer the file back to a hard drive from the zip
disk it always gives errors even when done by itself.

error message received (same message whether copying to or from zip disk):

ide-floppy: hdd: I/O error, pc=28, key=4, asc=47, ascq=0
end_request: I/O error, dev 16:41, sector 41224

(about 5-6 similar errors)

after the copy back to harddrive the file did 'cat' fine.

all other files (next largest being 4 MB) transfer fine either direction
even if total MB of the files moved as a group exceeds the 44MB.

any help to solve this (or at least suggest a method to break up a large
file into smaller chunks to transfer and then allow recombining) would be
appreciated.

Hi all

I've just installed the latest Redhat on an ASUS P/I-P55SP3AV.
It has a 133 MHz Pentium, a SiS6205 Share Memory VGA Driver, and 16+128M
RAM. (Minus 1 or 2 for the video.)
I have set up a few partitions (4 or 5) as 128M swap each.
After playing with lilo the system can see all memory.

Problem:
Gnome runs extreemly  s l o w.
E.g: If I select something in a menu, it can take many seconds just for
the focus to traverse to the correct menu item.
Function ok but no performance at all.

Hints anyone?

both are reasonable.

the 440BX is limited to 100MHz FSB (unless you overclock it -- which
isn't a bad option).  i am not sure if BX boards with socket-1 are
available.  slot-1 is nearly dead.  while BX is a good chipset,
upgrading with it is going to be limited.

the i815 will do 133MHz FSB and newer AGP and IDE modes.  on the other
hand, it doesn't have as long a track record as the BX.  i haven't
heard many bad things about it.  slot-1 will allow for a little more
upgradability than socket-1.


you might want to look at the VIA apollo pro chipset too.

also AMD's athlon and duron offerenings are certainly price/
performance competitive.  if you go athlon, make sure you get a
socket-a model.

Having gotten a HP Officejet G55 printer and a nice little computer through
my work I find that there is no generel driver for this printer.
I did manage getting the scanner function up and running - but still miss
the printing function. Anyone with any ideas of what printer driver works
best with this printer?

Thank you for your assistance

That depends on your options, wrt/the application.  If trying to print
Postscript using ghostscript as a print filter under APS or
MagicFilter, then probably most (all) of the LaserJet drivers will
work, some with more options than others.  If using StarOffice and the
like, start with the HPL non-Postscript drivers, and see which one
works better.

Hi,

I've an Elsa Erazor X2 graphic card and it works fine so far, what I
want is to know if someone has experience with the SVideo Out
support under Linux! Does it bring my monitor picture on TV or
how does it work or cant it be enabled with Linux?

Thanks,

Jochen
