Hi!
If you can boot Windows by instucting the BIOS to boot from IDE3, then the
BIOS undestands re-mapping.
The numbers that BIOS uses are:
IDE0= Primary master=/dev/hda=0x80
IDE1=Primary slave=/dev/hdb=0x81
IDE2=Secondary master=/dev/hdc=0x82
IDE3=Secondary slave=/dev/hdd=0x83
Your LILO is residing in mbr on primary master, OK, re-mapping should be done
from there.
So:
map-drive=0x83
to=0x80
map-drive=0x80
to=0x83
in relevant stanca in lilo.conf.
After that "/sbin/lilo -C /etc/lilo.conf" (capital C, no quotes).
(Remember to change booting in BIOS to IDE0)
Have fun.

Hi!
Two solutions possible.
a) The lazy one, get "newest, fastest" LILO that is adjusted to industry
craziness.
b) Linux way: with Linux fdisk create primary partition starting AND ending on
cylinder No 1. This will be /boot.
Install Windows, allowing it as much as you want, not the whole reminder of the
drive.
Again with Linux fdisk create Linux extended partition and create in it /
(root), swap,
/usr, /home, /opt to your liking.
Install Linux. (kernel in /boot)
"What was the problem????"
Have fun.

Sorry, I just noticed that you had tried to add the alsa drivers. You need
to have the kernel source for that. You can add the kernel sources from
your install CD. Or you can download the source for your kernel from
ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.2. It's not necessary to build a new
kernel, just have the sources present in order to build alsa-driver and
alsa-library. Building the alsa packages is really easy,
# ./configure
# make
# make install
in each of the source directories.

I looked at the Yast2 windows that you mentioned, this is the 'current

With this selection there was no other page size selections other than
one listed under only option. So, I'm not presented with page size

Sounds like it has a mind of its own. (;->)
Do you have any authentication setup?
Maybe you should just change inittab to start a shell
instead of a login. as a starting place for the runlevel

Heh. In the days before I discovered free software, I used
to hold myself to the rule: "Never buy anything point zero".
But I suppose for the OS, that rule might be of value even
if you aren't paying for the software, because everything
relies on it. With apps, I tend to go ahead and get .0
versions if I'm not paying much for them, on the theory
that at worst I can go back to what I was using before.
But with the OS that could be a pain.

Try deleting the .xmms directory in your home directory. It seems that
the config files often don't play nice between the different versions
of XMMS.

hda1 : NT
hda-rest : linux
(I've set this up on separate HDD's too, it doesn't matter)
default lilo.conf, for NT add a plain others part:
others=/dev/hda1
label=NT
And rerun `/sbin/lilo`
I can't tell if every setup will work, but show me your setup, and I'll
look into it. WinNT is nothing special. The bootloader just needs to be
executed by the BIOS. This bootloader lives at the start of the C:
partition.
So point lilo to it, and you're ready to go.

There are two ISO's from which to choose - a large & a small. Apart from

Yep I figured out how to get some sound and I did read through the docs and
did manage to get everything to work. I don't suppose that there is any way
to make use of the audio environments and things that are on the emu chip is
there? You can under windows but creative's audiohq uses directx so I doubt
that all them funky sound effects would work under linux. But then I still
think that they aren't worth the crashes so I have no intention of putting
the windows back. It can die a long slow death.

"request_module[scsi_hostadapter]: Root fs not mounted"
...and yet the machine carries on and boots up ok. <confused>
I'm thinking it may be a problem with the order of events in one of
the boot scripts? But I wouldn't know where to look.
It's a slack 7.1 system, by the way.
Can anyone tell me what's happening here?
Except for a Zip250 on the primary IDE interface it's an all-SCSI box,
and I should have thought that making anything modular wouldn't allow
the system to boot at all, so I didn't (and it does). Could it be
anything to do with this "new" aic7xxx driver?
Below are the IDE and SCSI parts of .config:

I went to www.google.com and entered :sound linux awe64 pci
There's some info in the first three hits you get, that you might find
usefull.
(I'm not sure what you tried, did you retrieve the IRQ etc and suppplied
that to the module?)

Hi,
I am very interested in using linux. My plans are to dedicate a new
machine to it rather than dual booting with my current machine. Do you
suggest i build a machine or buy one put together already? I also will
want to dual boot either caldera or mandrake with win2k, is this possible?
what do i need to do to make it work if it is possible? Are their any
drawbacks of doing this? any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks in
advance.

Hello,
I want to set up Linux (preferably Mandrake) and use the hardware RAID-0 on
the ASUS A7V133.
Has anyone been successful?
Thanks,

Stanislaw, have you ever tried this?
I ask, because it's wrong. The BIOS will number contiguously.
The first HDD detected (usually hda, but it could just as well be hdb, sda
or whatever)
get's 0x80 assigned. The next one, get's 0x81 whether it's hdb, hdc, hdd or
even sda.
The location is irrelevant as far as the BIOS is concerned.
So if you have no HDD at hdb/hdc, hdd will be 0x81

I have never moved the mount point of more than one partition and it has
been a long time since I did it and don't remember the exact details
involved.
If you are wanting to use the other partitions, you would need to make
the other partitions. Make the proper entries in /etc/fstab Then copy
the directories to the different partitions and mount the partitions.
Then before trying to reboot you would need to run lilo again to update
the MBR. You may also need to add the other partitions into /etc/mtab
but I'm not sure about changing the mtab file. This may not be the right
order to do it in so be careful.
Maybe someone else can step in and give some advice. I would kind of
like a refresher on how to do it just in case.

Unless you're sure, don't put statements like this in.
Usually this is only needed when you have a mixed IDE/SCSI
system.

Why use this loader?
remove this line.

Why is win98 at hdd? if it can be at hdb, put it there.

The map-drive directives take care of that.

Agreed. So don't reinstall windows. hda will be taken over.

It should better be there, but the remapping shows no such thing.

lilo.conf.
The alias wont hurt. The loader is really weird, I agree.
