As if that was unexpected. The raid tools (which ones? 0.4.1? 0.42? 0.91?)
tell you taht intreresting things can happen. Be careful.

That's fairly fine, but not very interesting, except for the device
letters. What are your ide controllers and how many do you have?

Well, that's obviously nothing to do with the raid tools! You didn't
even use them! Complain to the author of the kernel driver, or the ide
controller driver. Which kernel are you using? I have been using raid
since 2.0.0 days (and now on 2.4.4) and never have had any problems.

Are you crazy? This is like saying "I keep my money in a safe, but I
leave the door open so it's quicker to get at".

Looks like you've discovered a bug in the hardware IDE controller. Via
mobo? The one with the hardware bug in the south bridge that hits when
you write from one ide channel to another?

Put both disks on the same controller and repeat.

Thanks for the reply, I tried adding tuner but no difference (I think tuner
is for the sound off the tv-card). Unfortunately I think that the Zoran
driver doesn't work with 2.4.x kernels using my tv card.
Thanks anyway!

The L0, L1, and L2 caches present on the K6-3 should be transparent to
the OS, provided the L2 cache is turned on in the motherboard BIOS.
FWIW, I've heard no complaints about K6-3 performance under Linux, and
T-Birds under Linux rock. Also FWIW, my T-Bird is recognized as having
"64K L1 I Cache 64K L1 D Cache 64K" as well as "L2 Cache 256K" at boot,
but only the 256K L2 shows up in /proc/cpuinfo.

Date: Sun, 13 May 2001 01:17:53 +1000
Hi,
I just got an old EliteGroup p5vx-be board to use as a linux router but
can't get the serial ports to work. The irq settings are fine (com1 = 4
, com2 = 3). They are being recognised by the kernel with the correct
settings however neither my modem nor my mouse will work. When using
wvdialconf to find a modem the TR light flashes however no modem can be
found. I have tried using minicom however it does not respond.
setserial -g ttyS0 shows that the ports are correctly set to the same
as the kernel. Kernel boot up message is as follows:
kernel: ttyS00 at 0x03f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A
kernel: ttyS01 at 0x02f8 (irq = 3) is a 16550A
This is driving me nuts!!!!! If anyone might have any suggestions could
you pleeease let me know. Thanks,
Tim Grant

I don't know what you mean by an "intelligent" switch box. This is a four
port digital switch, and I have never had any problems with this model at
work (I've set up quite a few for different people). Anyway, damaged
hardware is not the problem. That much I am sure of.
Anyone out there who knows of a SOLUTION for the scroll wheel problem?

I know what sync and async is. And i want it that way.
Your point is true though, especially for linux and ext2fs where
metadata is cached too.....but thats another storry.

No, the mobo is a tyan with a server works chipset and ecc. I dont think
the mobo is bad. We dont use the mobo on board IDE controller.

Both disks on the same or different channel on _one_ controller.
Problem still exists.
Have tried this with 2 controllers.
Now i write the same file with the same dd command not to the mirror,
but to both devices that are mounted. I write *concurently* several
times. **No** problem. But if i build a mirror over this devices it
blows the fs.
Any suggestions ?

Subject: Soundblaster Live vs. XFree86 v4.0.3 - an irq conflict? (HELP!!!)
Date: Sat, 12 May 2001 21:33:14 +0200
Hello!
I've got a strange problem with my (new) Soundblaster Live card. The following
command
# cat endoftheworld > /dev/dsp
works well at the console and the test-sound is played. But under X (in an
xterm as root) I get the following error message
# cat: write error: Input/output error
and no sound. I thought this could only be an irq problem... but after investigating
/proc/pci (see below), I became unsure... (SBLive:= irq 5,
NvidiaTNT:= irq 10).
I've tried a lots of things (played with bios, recompiled kernels & drivers, read
mbytes of docs & howtos) and now, I have no idea, what goes wrong here. Any help
anyone can give would be much appreciated.
Thanx in advance,
Zed
PS: the error also occurs w/o the two network-adapter and the scsi card. For testing
purposes I've installed an old Mozart isa-card. The problem did _not_ occur...)

Hi,
I just bought and Aopen Full Tower case, which I think is very well
made. The case came with an ATX 12V power supply which I understand
is designed for P4 and Athalon M/Bs. I have an Abit Vp6 with dual
PIII-866 processors. I connected everything up OK pressed the power
button and nothing happened. I connected up the old psu and everything
is fine. I would suspect that the new psu is faulty by the 5V standby
seems to be OK, i.e. it gives 5V OK.
Is there any reason why an ATX 12V supply wont work with my M/B and
processors ?
Thnaks in advance for any comments.

I have an ATI All-In-Wonder 128 Pro (Rage 128 Pro) and Linux-Mandrake 8.0
box and when I boot into X my monitor gives me an out of range error.
Realizing that it must be the refresh rates, I opened up XF86Config, set
them to my monitor's specs, and tried again... no luck. Any ideas?

You mean avoid 80-pin SCA. All wide-SCSI cabling is 68-pin, so that is what
you really
want these days.
Well, there's also differential SCSI (is that 68-pin?)....
I've had about 80% success with SCA converter cards. The cheap ones are
suspect,
and prone to termination issues (some are really only 50-pin converters, but
provide
the 68-pin connector, and thus things can get messed up). I got some
SCA-LVD
converters that were low profile and very nice (even with documentation --
gasp!).
