Hi,
I'm presently using Hylafax, but I tried the both the mgetty/sendfax and
the efax packages before. All work(ed) fine with my Rockwell based modem
oldtimer.

Subject: soundcard under debian!
Hey,
I have a sounbcard -creative ensoniq PCI32- with the chip 1371. I am
running debian (no 'cause i like it, but because i have to) 2.2.17.
I was able to configure the kernel and i can listen to any mp3, or radios!
(with realplayer for instance). However, i can't record anything?!?
The mic is plugged in and has been tested!
Here is the output of cat /dev/nsdstat:

Just to clarify my understanding of your question: You want
to mount a partition someplace other than a directory within
/. I.e. you know you could mount it as, say, /new-hd, but
you're more interested in mounting in
/home/me/stuff/multimedia. That's my understanding of your
question.
The answer to it is yes. Man mount for full details. Man
fstab for instructions on making it happen at every boot.
My fstab mounts one partition as /usr then another as
/usr/local and a third as /usr/src. Remember, we're not in
DOS--partitions can go any place you like.
HTH, and if I can be of further assistance, post or e-mail.

Hello
My new pc with MSI 694d and onboard firewire and Promise Fasttrack will
only see one ata 100HD.
Compiled a new kernel 2.4test12 with support for the Promise controller.
Now it will only see the hde disk, tried in lilo

the hdg disk but with a time out error. Can see the hd in controlcenter

Tried in yast to partition the disks but yast says "the are no disks",
so yast won't even see hde. If I boot with the Promise kernel yast only
sees hde.How can I use both disks.
Does anyone knows an anwer

Just to follow up on my decisions regarding this. I decided on Hard
Drives Northwest (www.hdnw.com) as the vendor, based on the quotes I
was given and their general reputation from people who have used them
before (plus the fact that they are 10 minutes from me makes
replacement easier).
Essentially I get 2 GHz of processing power in one box with 512 MB of
RAM and 60 GB of disk space for under $1500.
For those who care, here's what I got, with the prices. I'll report on
the performance as soon as I have it all setup.

Subject: Help needed with a Hayes Accura PCI modem
Date: Mon, 12 Feb 2001 20:03:25 -0000
Before anyone say's it, I know!
I actually phoned Hayes technical support and asked them if this modem was
compatible with Linux and they said that it was and that they would email me
some instructions on how to set it up, which they did.
However, after following the instructions it does not work. Under windows
the modem installs on com port 3 with an irq of 17 and i/o port ecd8-ecdf
but under Linux Red Hat v7.0 it installs as irq 17 with i/o port ecd8.
Hayes instructions suggest to make sure the com ports in the BIOS have real
address (i.e. 3f8 and 2f8) and then do the following command
setserial /dev/ttySx uart 16550A port 0xecd8 irq 17 (where x is the serial
port that it is connected to) and then use minicom to test it. I used ttyS2
and then tried ttyS3. The i/o and irq were discovered in the /proc/pci just
as they said they would be.
So my questions are
1) should I disable my com ports in the BIOS (I don't use them for
anything)?
2) how do I know that the modem has installed on com3?
3) do I need to enable any special settings in the kernel and recompile it?
4) am I supposed to use the Lucent win modem that I have heard off and if so
how?
Any other help would be greatly appreciated.
thanks,
Pep

Do some reading on www.linux-ide.org. Also, find one of the linux-kernel

You'll soon decide to back up your data, buy a harddrive that works, and

Discovered? What do you mean? Nothing should change. You're just
telling the kernel where to poke the bits.
What was the result of your test with minicom? You did set minicom up,
right? What happens when you just do the old
tail -f /dev/ttyS2 &
echo ATZ > /dev/ttyS2
?

You can. But hayes idea of keeping them well out the way was a good

What do you mean? If the modem is in your pci slot, then it is
installed!

You need a serial driver at least .. and one that can talk to a weird

Why? Is it a lucent winmodem that you have? I would have thought hayes

my modem is set to com 3 in win95 when i use lspci -v i find a
rockwell modem (i dunno) but it doesn't tell me what "port" it uses
(so I assume it doesn't use one) though the other devices there all
have 1 (or more my vga uses like 5) if i need to set the "port" haw do
I do that and how do i find out *what* to set it to I read somewhere
that this is equivalent to win95's i/o addy which is 03E8-03EF but I
also read that the # must be only 4 digits then again the other
"ports" are in 0x0?? format (I think I have to be in windoze to hit

All PCI devices are plug-n-play, but unlike ISA, they have their own
form of a BIOS, so the system can more easily configure them. Set your
motherboard BIOS (during bootup) to be "not pnp aware" to tell the bios
to try to do as much setup as it can. Whether your win95 settings are
correct or not will depend on what has been assigned where...they might
work, or something else might have been assigned by the time your modem
is set up.

If it is hardware based, and some PCI are (I have one), you have the
above mentioned hardware setup of PCI devices before you can get it to
work. But those are not winmodem issues, and a hardware based modem
should work fine; your issues are pci issues.

You are dealing with hexadecimal address ranges. You'll only refer to
the base of the range, so 03E8-03EF should be considered for setup 03E8.
For most purposes in your setup, use the 0x notation. E.G., 0x03e8. Try
setserial to put the port to the values of the modem, or setpci to set
the modem to port. A sample setserial:
setserial -v /dev/ttyS2 uart 16550A port 0x03e8 irq 5 spd_normal
skip_test
(ttyS2 is equivalent to com3, ttyS0 to com1).
You might find hints in /proc/pci for values, or from setserial -a on
individual serial ports ttyS0 through ttyS3.

PCI devices lose their settings each reboot. The win version of settings
are only applicable if coincidence is lucky.

To see lspci -v and not lose the output:
lspci -v | less
To view /proc/pci easily:
less -r -M < /proc/pci
See also "man setpci".

Good. So look at the ///proc/pci and confirm what the chip is, tehn
follow the guides on gromit's page.

I'm running SuSE 7.0 with KDE2 and kernel 2.4.0. I have a Matshita DVD and
a Ricoh 7040A CD-R/RW. Both are ATAPI and when the kernel is compiled for
IDE CDROM support, both will play CDs and are readable/mountable. However,
CD writing requires SCSI emulation and the only way I have been able to
implement that is by not compiling in IDE CDROM support in the kernel and
enabling SCSI emulation. Now my drives are seen as SCSI devices, they will
configure under XCDRoast (haven't gotten to burning a CD yet) but I cannot
get CDs to play using kscd. The player just sits there and none of the
controls work. Do I need a different player or is something else wrong with
the configuration?
Thanks
