Subject: Q: ReiserFS or hardware error?
Date: Sat, 16 Jun 2001 15:19:58 GMT
Greetings! I woke up this morning to a console full of errors. I've
got about 275 lines of these errors. Does anyone know if these are
specifically ReiserFS or hard drive/hardware errors.
I've also noticed that the errors occur when 'tar' tries to stat()
certain files. i.e. the errors appear on the console in tandem with
the tar command:
tar: /dev/rd/c2d26p2: Cannot stat: Permission denied
tar: /dev/rd/c2d26p3: Cannot stat: Permission denied
tar: /dev/rd/c2d26p4: Cannot stat: Permission denied
tar: /dev/rd/c2d26p5: Cannot stat: Permission denied
tar: /dev/rd/c2d26p6: Cannot stat: Permission denied
tar: /dev/rd/c2d26p7: Cannot stat: Permission denied
Can anything be done to repair/correct these? I've got backups, do I
need to go back to ext2? I've been running ReiserFS for 4 months with
no problems until now. Any advise would be great! Thanks!

You also need to post your /proc/pci, /proc/interrupts and
/etc/conf.modules as well as windows ME settings for the card.
Escpecially as you have a completly different motherboard.

John;
Compaq puts a non-dos partition on the front of their drives that holds
configurations. (It's not on the bios chip). Compaq did not use Fuji
drives; they bought drives and put their name on it. There fore I suspect
this is an aftermarket drive.
Get the Compaq utility that reinstalls the partition for writing config info
to and put that on and see if it helps the install.

Subject: How to install a UMAX SCSI clone onto the NCR5380 driver
Date: 16 Jun 2001 15:39:37 GMT
Linucists:
My outer problem is I want to scan with a UMAX Astra 600S.
My inner problem is this only talks to a UDS-IS11 PC/ISA \n P/N:970160-08
SCSI clone card.
Googling reveals this card has responded to the g_NCR5380 driver.
Our system admin at work says all I need to do is select a driver and then
build it into the kernel instead of leaving it loadable. This will trick
the OS into installing it at boot time instead of at modules.conf time.
So I make menuconfig, and turn the little M...
<M> Generic NCR5380/53c400 SCSI support
...into a star...
<*> Generic NCR5380/53c400 SCSI support
then recompile the kernel.
While the kernel cooks, here's the question. What would I write into
modules.conf instead? This line did not work at a console...
modprobe g_NCR3580 ncr_irq=255 ncr_addr=0x280 ncr_53c400=1
...because modprobe claims g_NCR5380 does not exist.
Another question is what (high-level) HOWTO do I seem to be missing here?

Not sure if this is a "winmodem" or not. There are drivers available
for some winmodems.

HardDrake correctly identifies the scanner.
I downloaded sane-frontends-1.0.4, sane-backends-1.0.4, xsane-0.78.

We have a Hawking modem that came with a now 3yr old laptop, that has
only run Win95 (& now Win98). The modem is not able to deal with less
than perfect phone connections. Based on this experience, I would
personally stay far away from Hawking and go for a known quality modem.
Personally I like USR but have no experience with their pcmcia modems.

^^^^^^^^
Searching on that reveals that yes, it is a winmodem. It will
never work in Linux. You need a new modem.
Some basic guidelines:
1) All external modems that connect via the serial port will work.
2) Modems that say "controller based" should work.
3) In general, more ISA modems are controller based than are PCI modems, but
4) There *are* PCI modems that will work.

look in /lib/modules/kernel-version/ ... for the real name of the driver.

I got similar errors, after fdisk, screwed up a partition table.
I don't think they're reieserfs specific, the early 2.4.1-3 problems with
reiser were fixed in 2.4.4.
I should do any back up you can. Then unmount.
To fix the partition table, I had to use sfdisk(8) which was the only thing
that could read it, I tried gpart(8) which hinted that it was really messed
up. Anyway it made a pretty good impression of a screwed up hard drive.
The bug was triggered by the new Windows extended partition type.
You should eliminate partition table as a possibility, then try things like
badblocks, to see what happens.
Apparently linux only returns 1 bit of error info back up, though the
drivers knows more about the errors, so the upper layers cannot be very
informative :(

Hummm ...
So there is "no" way that I can make use of my current modem to talk

case, can anyone please advise for selecting "good" modem for homepc?
My homepc configuration :

2. OS2 : RedHat 7.1
3. Machine : Dell Workstation 400.
Thanks in advance,

Ummm, I may be offbase here, but I suspect you might get a tad better response
posting this to a Freebsd newsgroup.
