Probably win95 does not recognize the Linux partitions as partitions
anymore. (I suppose win95 should be able to recognizze them as non-dos
partitions). Boot with a linux floppy (even an install would do) and fdisk
from linux, you can probably delete the created linux partitions then after
which you can use the win95 fdisk again if you want.

As it turns out our problem was with the hot plug cannister on one of
the drives, nothing to do with the 2100s at all! Looks like things were
ok with the kernel patch & driver sources that came on the CD with the
card.

I added a very cheep old (non PnP) ISA board with 2 serial and 1
parallel board to my PC (so I have 4 serials and 2 parallel ports) It
worked fine after I set the jumpers for IRQ and IO. No special cfg
except changing a few lines in the modules.config.

In recent fdisk man pages, it talks about how recent versions
of Windows/Dos impose an extra requirement to zero the first
512 bytes of a partition on initialization, and gives
instructions for doing that with the 'dd' command.
So if you have the first primary partition free, you might
try setting the file type for Win95 with Linux's fdisk and then
doing the 'dd' thing. You may then be able to boot
DOS/Win95 floppy/cdrom and format the unitialized
partition. Linux's cfdisk has a nicer interface than the
fdisk, but sometimes refuses to run.

It's trying to talk to a device on ID 0 on your adapter. You have no
device there so it times out. Attach your device to the controller and
try again. You need a SCSI bus attached to the controller and both
ends of the bus need to be terminated.

I assume the whole logic behind the VESA energy saving system has
changed, or something, because the settings in XF86Config-4 which
worked well with a older kernel no longer switch my monitor to energy
saving from the login screen, nor does the Gnome screen saver ever
switch over to energy saving mode.
How should I proceed?

There is an issue with many Nvidia cards having fuzzy 2D at high
resolutions and/or refresh rates due to the design of the rf filter.
Mine starts to go fuzzy over 100Hz or 1280 x 1024, which is not really a
problem for me, can't see any reason to use more than 85Hz.

Which XFree86 version? 3.3.6 or 4.0.1? I believe both are distributed with
Mandrake 7.2, although I have a feeling that 4.0.1 is the default.
Having said that, the chipsets you mention appear to be supported. Your
experience with the Jaton Video lead me to believe that you should force a
software cursor and that should solve that problem (its probably using a
hardware one and they rarely work in my experience).
Option "sw_cursor"
in the Section "Device" should do it (/etc/X11/XF86Config-4).
If that is all, do you need help with either of the other two? The AT24 chipset
is supported under both 3.3.6 and 4.0.2 - I'd need the /var/log/XFree86.*.log
file to give any better clues to the crash.
The Western Digital chipsets are not supported in 4.0.x at all. 3.3.6 has
support for some but the status of these is unclear. Its an old and
unmaintained area.
Cheers,
Toby Haynes

Linux does not use the bios to access the hd, and should see

Did you check with fdisk to see if there's empty space?

If you know the line is good on a phone test...
Look for your dialup script and where it says ATDTxxxxxxx Change it to
ATX3DTxxxxxxx. The X3 tells the modem to dial whether or not it receives a
strong tone or not. I have had to do this to MANY modems over the years.
Most recent was a 33.6 Radicom under Redhat.

I asked this a while ago but missed any replies, so sorry for the
repost!
I have two machines and two isa scsi adapters (well three if you count
the one that is built out of 74ls ttl chips and made by Chinon (a Dixons
own brand)), and I cannot get either to work. One card is an Adaptech
AHA 1502, which I understand will work with the 152x driver, but when I
try to insmod it, it tells me it wants some parameters, but when I try
to give it some params it says it doesn't understand. I tried adding an
append line to lilo.conf that I read about for this card, but still no
luck. Does anybody know what is going on here? This is in a Celeron
400 machine running Mandrake 7.2.
The other card is a Future Domain tmc850, based on the 950 bios, which
is supposed to be well supported. I tried this card in same machine,
only couldn't find a driver for it, and Mandrake won't auto detect it.
Any suggestions here? The card produces its own bios messages, but I
have no idea how to get it to work under linux.

Jonathon,
I am working on true devfs support for the IDE-FLOPPY driver, if you are
willing to test some stuff with me it would help.

For now, ignore it. It is an informational message from the driver. Now I
have a ZIP250 I will make sure that this sort of thing no longer occurs in
future versions of the driver.

Subject: DPT PM3754U2 and RedHat 7.0
Date: Fri, 09 Feb 2001 16:54:19 -0600
Has anyone gotten the DPT PM3754U2 RAID Controller to install with RH7?
I can't seem to get the darn installation to recognize the card. I've
looked on RedHat's site, they have no reference to this controller, at
least in the Hardware list (it's on the older [6.2,6.1] releases). I've
also looked thru DPT's site, and found info on installing from 6.0 to
6.2, but nothing newer...
Any help or advice would be appreciated!
Thanks!
