Date: Sun, 27 May 2001 03:40:33 GMT
Hi,
I have an older harddrive that I'm trying to use as a swap partition with
Linux. I'm having trouble getting it to work however. The following is
what I get on boot:
May 20 10:36:12 h00104bce1155 kernel: hdb:hdb: read_intr: status=0x65 {
DriveReady DeviceFault CorrectedError Error }
May 20 10:36:12 h00104bce1155 kernel: hdb: read_intr: error=0x04 {
DriveStatusError }
May 20 10:36:12 h00104bce1155 kernel: ide0: reset: success
May 20 10:36:12 h00104bce1155 kernel: hdb: status error: status=0x58 {
DriveReady SeekComplete DataRequest }
May 20 10:36:12 h00104bce1155 kernel: hdb: drive not ready for command
May 20 10:36:12 h00104bce1155 kernel: hdb: read_intr: status=0x65 {
DriveReady DeviceFault CorrectedError Error }
May 20 10:36:12 h00104bce1155 kernel: hdb: read_intr: error=0x04 {
DriveStatusError }
Any ideas what could be causing these messages. I'm certain that the drive
works because I just took it out of a RedHat 7.0 system prior to putting it
in this machine.
Thanks,
Brian

Frank,
I'm also very interested in this camera. One thing, can you read the CCDraw
file format with Linux? I like to save in non-lossy file formats like
.tiff, but Canon uses their own and I don't know if it can be accessed by
Linux. BTW, it's a realy cool format, much smaller than .tiff.

Probably. The newest nVidia drivers (the 1.0 drivers) which just
came out say something about supporting TV-out. If you go to their website,
I'm sure they have RedHat 7.0 RPMs. Also look for documentation on how to
enable TV-out. It's probably in a README file somewhere in the Linux Drivers
section of their site.

If one has nothing but ISA - use the EISA.
Preferably if one has PCI that is the one to use.
For the EISA, did you get the EISA configuration disk?
If not and you have EISA cards you'll need the configuration
utility and the configuration files for the devices (motherboard maybe
also,
it depends on the BIOS and who manufactured it).
If the EISA CMOS gets cleared or the motherboard battery goes dead,
the EISA cards are useless and you'll have to use the ISA or PCI that's
on the board instead.
I would guess that the EISA one has a EISA SCSI host adapter?
For a server (even for home) your going to need a fast bus

I don't know whether your HD can be "saved", but the UQNAUT etc. is
quite normal. Check with hdparm -iI The -I byteswaps the drive ID and
serial number (or perhaps the -i does). Check the connections. Get a new
hard disk. Copy the relevant partitions/files (old to new) in single
mode.

I have the oem version of the 3cp5610 modem and it works great.
I suggest that you do not use autoconfig with setserial. I had problems
with it. Instead use: uart 16550a I also suggest that you use
/dev/ttyS3 since few computers have a COM4. Also, use:
setserial -b /dev/ttySn as your 2nd command to display the results of
your 1st setserial command. (n = the device number you used)
When I was a Mindspring customer I found them to be Linux friendly.
I am sure that they will give you the correct DNS(s) to use with kppp.
Try contacting them. There should be 2 DNS addresses since one is
usually a backup. Enter them in the order that they list them to
avoid unnecessary overhead.

Since that kernel is now what, one year old?, the remedy is
simple: upgrade. To 2.2.19 or 2.4.5, whatever you like best.

No, if I understood your message correctly your _first_ drive isn't
part of the linear RAID, only the second one. You need to make _both_
your drives part of the RAID array to make it work at all.

Which vooddo?
I had 3dfx Voodoo 3 3000 PCI working with Xfree 3.? with the
SVGA driver, but some fiddling with XF86config was necessary.
Now I run 3dfx Voodoo 3 3500 AGP, with Xfree 4.0 and tdfx driver,
it worked out of the box (SuSE 7.0).
So updating to Xfree 4.x would be the easiest way for you.

Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Hi!
I owe an Iomega paralell port 100Mb ZIP drive and I've got some problems
accessing from Mandrake 8. I've compiled my kernel with SCSI support (disk
and generic, as modules), the Iomega paralell port drive (old) and paralell
port support (IEEE 1284 mode).
When I try to mount it I get a 'I can't find the device' error. I've tried
with the Iomega tool iw and I get a similar error, but the drive keeps
mounted! I mean, I can eject the disk (I can't access to their content
anyway).
I have a HP Deskjet printer connected through the drive, and it works.
Any idea?
Best regards

hi,
i have a similar tape drive - but i don't like the idea of emulating

standard with mandrake (7.2) and this works with the tape drive ok as
long as you invoke it with
taper -T ide
i seem to have a glitch on my tape because the verify shows that one of
the backed
up files is different from the original. what i am looking
for now is an app to check the tape - and if possible to format it so
that any faulty bits of tape do not get used. any ideas gratefully

maybe you are trying too hard. first, try 'ls /mnt/zip'. if that doesn't,
try 'cat /etc/fstab' and look for an entry with '....... supermount
........ /dev/zip' to see where Mandrake is putting it.
then, try 'man supermount'
if all this fails, remember that Zip drives are fixed at '4', as in 'sda4',
not the 'sda1' you might expect.

I like the Plextor drives. I have a Plexwriter 8432 (8x4x32) and it
works great. This is an IDE drive, and there are instructions on
how to configure it on Linux to look like a SCSI drive. Maybe that's
not what you'd call "out-of-the-box", but if it's too complicated,
you'll need a SCSI drive.

I don't think so. You would be better off spending $40.00 on
a hardware ISA modem. It would be faster than your PCI anyway since
winmodems use system resources to operate.

Hi!
Since I am new to Linux, please be patient with me. I have had problems
with Linux recognizing my two ethernet cards since I got the message "failed
to bringing up interface eth0".
My first ethernet card is a D-Link DFE-530tx + PCI adapter and my second one
is a Realtek rtl8139(A) pci fast ethernet.
What I did is the following: I went on D-Link website (through windows) and
downloaded a driver for Linux which is an executable (I installed it on a
floppy disk). Happy with that, I went back on Linux, KDE, double clicked on
a: drive and double clicked on the file. Then, nothing happened... Back to
square one!!
In a previous message I got some advise such as "activate driver with
"kudzu"", etc. Now, since I know nothing about Linux, how do I activate
that? And how can I install this D-Link driver?
Also, when I double clicked on "linux config" I got this message "couldn't
execute /usr/bin/kdesu"/sbin/linuxconf" Please install the linuxconf
package". I have with me 5 cds. The first two is intall, the third one is
called "source", the fourth one is "powertools" and 5th one is
"documentation". I have to confess that I went through the documentation
but was quite hard to understand...
Again, many thanks for your patience. I sincerely appreciate your help...
