Don't know who told you that, but they're wrong. I have a 1505
happily driving an HP scanner. Compile generic SCSI support for Adaptec
152x into the kernel, and then give the LILO/Loadlin command line
aha152x=0x340
(Yours may be at a different address). It works, and well too. You can't
boot from a 1505, and you can't auto-detect it either; maybe that's where the
confusion came from?

And if you tune both of them properly (esp. FreeBSD's default settings
are very conservative and safe but not fast) FreeBSD wins easily when
it comes to disk I/O.

I'm not a unix wizard, but I needed to do this a while back and worked
out a way to use tar and pipes to do it. I had tar save the disk I
wanted to copy, and piped the results to another tar that was doing a
restore to the new disk. With the right options on the two tars all
the dates, ownerships, etc. get preserved just fine, and the result
booted without problems once I modified System Commander to look for
it on my second drive (I wasn't replacing a disk, I was adding a disk,
and my MS OSs can't boot from drive 2, but Linux can... :^)
It was simple and fast...once I'd read enough man pages to figure out
what options I needed! One of the unix guys at work thought it was
pretty clever and made a note for the next time he needed to move a
disk... ;^)

First up, have you confirmed that it works with Windows 95 or some other
OS? (It might be a hardware fault).
Secondly, make sure your TV and video is exactly tuned to the right
channel. Sometimes, if it's not 100% dead on the right spot, the picture
goes B&W.
Also, see how these modelines (for AITech cards/converters) go:

Subject: Linux 2.2.X with only 4 MB RAM?
Date: Sun, 30 May 1999 18:24:30 +0200
Common wisdom says that Linux 2.2.X requires at least 8 MB of RAM - and
I must admit that there's quite some truth to that.
I've installed Linux 2.2.9 on a 386SX with 4 MB RAM. It boots and runs,
but extremely slowly due to swapping:
total used free shared buffers
cached
Mem: 3024 2872 152 1100 84
1060
-/+ buffers/cache: 1728 1296
Swap: 17404 2444 14960
I cannot log in at the console due to the 60s timeout, but with ssh over
the network it works with a very big deal of patience.
Needless to say, the system is not practically usable that way.
I would however still strongly prefer to use 2.2.X because a) I'd like
to configure (startup scripts etc.) all the machines I administrate as
identically as possible and b) it uses MCA and ESDI, which in 2.0.X is
only supported with patches.
So, is there a way (parameter?) I can trim 2.2.X to run usably with just
4 MB RAM? I already did make a rather minimalist custom 2.2.9 kernel, of
course.

I have the same card, the 2nd SCSI controller in my system. (From
what I understand, if sane is driving a SCSI card, it can't be running
another device at the same time, and my other card is running my disk drive.
Anyway, my other card is already using 2 of it's 3 cable connections and
that's the limit.) I've got the adaptec driver as a module, and when
I'm going to use the scanner, use the command:
insmod aha152x "aha152x=0x140,9,7,1"
As you can see, I use a different address (set by jumper) and different
interrupt, etc which I set up in DOS using a program that came with the
card. I needed to do that because of an interrupt conflict.
Sometimes, I admit, when I use insmod, it still doesn't recognize
the generic device, in my case, /dev/sgc, so it might be better to have
it out there all the time.

Subject: Re: Help: Maple V 5.1 & Suse 6.1 & Seg Fault
Date: Sun, 30 May 1999 18:32:19 +0200
Hello,
I had the same problem with SuSE 6.1, and it seems
that some libc5 binaries are broken by the
transition to glibc.
Actually, to get Maple V 5.1 to work I installed
the shlibs5 package and unset the
LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable. I got that idea when
in my desperation I tried to run xmaple as root
and everything worked. Notice that
LD_LIBRARY_PATH is not set for root on SuSE 6.1.
This also made Mathematica 3.0.2, Adobe Acrobat
Reader 3 and other libc5 programs work, which
otherwise get a segfault. The segfault problem
still occurs with Maple V versions 5 and 4
and PV Wave 6.21.
Any ideas how to get libc5 programs on SuSE 6.1
working in a consistent and reliable way, anyone?
A problem may be that I am still using my old
profiles from SuSE 5.x (tcsh).

Subject: Sound dies suddenly!
Date: Sun, 30 May 1999 17:04:59 +0000
I've had this problem several times. I'll be playing a playlist in
x11amp (latest version, running under RedHat 6.0) and everything is
fine, and then suddenly there is silence. x11amp won't play any mp3s,
and the progress bar won't move. I close x11amp and try playing a wav
file, and wavplay will wailt the appropriate amount of time to play the
wav, but no sound will come out. There are no stray x11amp processes,
and I tried killing maudio, which helped similar problems in the past,
but no luck. I've also tried restarting the sound thing that runs on
bootup (/etc/rc.d/init.d/sound). I've not found anything short of
rebooting that will regain sound capabilities.
Any ideas?
Thanks,

i am running redhat.
sophia(jk)$ cd /usr/sbin
sophia(sbin)$ l in.identd
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 21697 Oct 24 1997 in.identd
sophia(sbin)$ rpm -qf /usr/sbin/in.identd
pidentd-2.7-1
you want to install the *pidentd* package.
you may also need to adjust /etc/inetd.conf to enable the identd
service.
hope this helps.

Yes, I have that one also. I was unable to get that one working at all.
Thanks,

Hi!
Could somebody explain what the above means? I've just installed
FreeBSD on a 486 after Linux, and the slower disk i/o was the first
thing that I noticed.

Any pointer on the "proper tuning" of FreeBSD disk I/O wise?
Thanks,

First of all, you should definitely read the DOS to Linux HOWTO. It can
be found on your computer (if you installed documentation) at
/usr/doc/HOWTO/DOS-to-Linux-HOWTO, as well as on the web at the Linux
Documentation project: http://metalab.unc.edu/LPD/.

In order to use floppies and CDROMs in Linux, you have to mount them.
You should have these two lines in your /etc/fstab:
/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy vfat noauto,user
0 0
/dev/hdd /mnt/cdrom iso9660
noauto,ro,user,exec 0 0
You should then type:
$ mount /dev/fd0
to mount your floppy. Note that your CDROM may not be /dev/hdd - it
will be hdb, hdc, or somthing like that. It may also be /dev/cdrom if
you're lucky. Fiddle around.
Now, your floppy disk is like a directory.
$ cd /mnt/floppy
$ ls
and you'll see the contents of the disk. When you're done, type
$ umount /dev/fd0

On the command line, use ls, mv, cp, etc for file manipulation or mc
which looks something like xtree in DOS. For text editing, use pico,
or, if you're feeling adventurous, vi or emacs.
If you're running X, I suggest using either KDE or GNOME (both of which
come with RedHat 6 and are available on the web: http://www.kde.org and
http://www.gnome.org), which both have nice file managers, text editors,
and everything else.

If you're using inetd to handle the connections (default on Redhat and
others), then edit /etc/hosts.deny to read:
ALL: ALL
And /etc/hosts.allow should read:
ALL: 192.168.0.
(where 192.168.0. is the first three octets of your network (assuming a
class C (which for 2 computers is normal :))).
Or, look into the docs for ipfwadm/ipchains (Kernel 2.0/2.2).

Date: Sun, 30 May 1999 14:00:38 -0400
hi,
For some time now we have been unable to trade email with aol.com using
2.0.29 and sendmail (8). They do not respond to pings and a traceroute
to any of their published IPs gets no further than one of their
(unpublished) routers. ?
I called their tech support and the guy told me that he'd have one of
their mail-techs call me back.. of course no one ever called.
the pointy-headed guy insists 'aol sux .. it's them not us..'
unfortunately, this reponse is not very useful when it comes to user
complaints....any ideas?
TIA,
steve

Perhaps if you:
1) Use proper capitalization.
2) Use proper punctuation.
3) Check the docs for your ftp server.
4) Check the web for information about this.
5) Check deja for more information about this.
6) And /then/ repost with more information about what you have and
haven't tried, and what software you are using.
you will get a helpfull response.
: thank you
Hope This Helps!
