Hi,
Since a while I'm trying to setup my flatbed scanner Snapscan310 with no
luck so far. This is what I do
During the installation of SUSE, the Kernel SCSI module is loaded from the
'modules' disk ==>adaptec1505 (aha152x=0x140,11,7)
The systems tells me that it has recognized it witout any problems
Once the system is installed and rebooted these are the commands that are
used to continue
- SANE1_0_33.rpm is installed
- pnpdump>/etc/isapnp.conf
- uncomment into this file the IO adress/IRQ /ACT(Y) lines
- test the loading of the module with modprobe, which is OK
- edit /etc/conf.modules and add
alias scsi aha152x
options scsi aha152x=0x140,11,7
- reboot
During the rebooting , I get the several errors that the IOports setting are
wrong ?
after typing insmod aha152x=0x140,11,7,the card is again recognized
(sgchecks shows the Snapscan scanner) but when I launch Xsacnimage at that
time I get again an error saying that it is 'invalid parameters' and
scanning is not possible.
Can somehelp me into this issue or do I use a wrong procedure to set up

The sitation with DOS,LOADLIN and Linux is entirely different. LOADLIN
does NOT load Linux on top of DOS. DOS is completely removed from memory
and unavailable once Linux starts loading. This is not the case with
Win95/8.

In his obvious haste, Anthony DeLuca <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> babbled thusly:

: machine....I am told that shutdown is not an available command... I even
: tried su shutdown -h now.... and it still didn't work...Thanks in

Why do you need to?
<CTRL ALT DEL> does the same thing.
You must remember that Linux is a multi user operating system, and many of
the config files are written by the distributors to take this into account.
(This stopping Joe Bloggs from issuing a shutdown command and trashing
everyone elses work).
Root is the only user that *SHOULD* have that power...
But... The three fingered salute will reboot or halt (depending on the
config options) the individual machine. Unless the sys-admin/owner has
disablewd it because it's a multi-user machine).

Chances are yes. I over-clocked my CPU from 333 to 380 and I got the same
problem. Changed it back to 333 mhz and the kernel compilation went OK.

I suggested a while back that shoot away Int21h using a
timed TSR, to prove once and for all that Windows 95 needs
DOS. I know someone who did blow away Int 21h and windows
did crash. Thing was, he did it from inside a Win 98 DOS
window using debug.
Oh dear.

If dual boot means "boot twice a day" then we all know the
answer that one...
Really speaking, once you have got them going, servers
should not be booted at all.

Subject: Anyone using PHP?
Date: Sat, 12 Jun 1999 15:40:18 GMT
If so, could you PLEASE offer some help to a poor, frustrated newbie who
is trying to compile PHP 3.0.9? Thanks!
Basically, I am following the INSTALL document in the php-3.0.9.tar
file. It says to install apache 1.3.6 which I have done and it works
fine. I'm using RedHat 5.2.
Next it tells me to install a package called freetype-devel which I have
done.
Next I have to compile PHP. This is where things get difficult. My
configure command works fine:
./configure --with-apxs=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs --with-oracle
Then when I type 'make' it runs through a bunch of stuff but gives me an
error at the linking stage (I think). The last few lines are:
/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs -c -o libphp3.so -L/usr/local/lib
-L/u01/app/oracle/product/8.0.5/lib -Wl,'-rpath
/u01/app/oracle/product/8.0.5/lib' -lclntsh -lpsa -lcore4 -lnlsrtl3
-lclntsh -lnsl -lm -lgdbm
pcrelib/libpcre.a -lgd -lpam -lm -ldl -lcrypt -lnsl -lresolv
mod_php3.c libmodphp3-so.a -Lpcrelib -lpcre
apsx:Break: Command failed with rc=16711680
make:*** [libphp3.so] Error 1
What exactly is Error 1? Why is apsx failing? Any ideas? Do you know
where I could go for help? I have searched the mailing list archives and
found a few people with this problem but nobody had solutions. Any other
ideas?
Thanks!
Brad.

Subject: gnome/gtk+ HELP Please!
Date: Sat, 12 Jun 1999 14:00:17 GMT
I hope someone can tell me what I've done wrong. Here's the scoop. I
installed the following packages in this order (from source):
glib 1.2.3
gtk+ 1.2.3
imlib 1.9.4
ORBit 0.4.3
gnome-libs 1.0.10
libgtop 1.0.2
gnome-core 1.0.5
gnome-admin 1.0.2
control-center 1.0.5
I can get gnome launched under X (panel &) and use most of the features
but when I do these things I get these errors:
1. Choose Settings | Startup Programs:
Gtk-CRITICAL**: file gtk-table.c: line 507 (gtk_table_attach): assertion
'child->parent == NULL' failed.
Gtk-WARNING *: gtk_signal_disconnect_by_data(): could not find handler
containing data (0x80AEA18)
Gdk-Message: Got event for unknown window: 0x2400010
Gdk-Message: Got event for unknown window: 0x2400012
2. Open the GNOME Configuration Tool and choose Startup Programs:
** CRITICAL **: file gsm-protocol.c: line 602 (gzm_protocol_new):
assertion 'GNOME_CLIENT_CONNECTED (gnome_client)' failed
** WARNING **: Could not connect to gnome-session.
3. Open the GNOME Configuration Tool and choose Window Manager:
** ERROR **: No window manager desktops found!
aborting...
Why am I getting these messages and how do I fix them? I'm running
Enlightenment 0.15.5 with linux 2.2.5 (was a redhat 5.2 but I rebuilt
the kernel.) Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Please e-mail me your responses if it not's too much trouble to:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] or [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Thanks loads,

The error message has the answer: "not found" indicates that it is a
path problem. If execute-permission is not set, the error message will
be "permission denied".

=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
Hash: SHA1
I've set up my Slackware box here at home so that I can telnet into
it. To test the setup I slogin to a shell acct at my ISP and then
telnet back home. It works, but I get an error message when I log in:
"couldn't get a file descriptor referring to the console"
I don't know if this is because of the way I'm doing the testing or if
it's because something else is goofy. I can run emacs & do what I
want to do w/o any problem.
Ideas?
