Date: Sat, 1 May 1999 22:20:40 -0400
Hi all.
I don't know much about Linux, but I spoke to someone that
does and they really don't know what's going on either.
I have a pretty standard system, where Linux recognizes almost
all components just fine. With the exception of my Ethernet card.
It's an Intel EtherExpress 10+ ISA.
When install RH 5.2 BASED Linux distrib (BeroLinux),
it asks if I would like to add a NIC (after failing to
detect a NIC on the PCI bus, since I don't have a PCI NIC). So I do, and it
has 3 Intel cards listed- EE, EEpro, and EEpro 100.
It does NOT see either an EE or an EEPro100.
But when I select EEpro, it HANGS. Yes, It's weird.
I can still get the kernel messages, and the last one is
the Insmod of the *.o file for the adapter.
Is there something I am doing wrong? This is a 2.2.3 Kernel,
with ALL the latest updates built in.
I really need help here, since without Network access, I am forced
to go back to NT.
Thank you very much for your time,

Does a PDCD driver exist. My drive is a COMPAQ, but Panasonic and
others exist. Its the one that reads a CDROM, and reads and writes a
PD650 optical data cartridge (650 MB). It's a SCSI device. Under
Windoze it shows up as two devices: Removable Drive D and CDROM E, but
it's still one physical device, which is how it's being recognized
under Linux. The boot log part gives the message
Detected scsi CD-ROM sr0 at scsi0, channel 0, id 5, lun 0
mount /dev/scd0 /mnt/pdcd
will mount a CD-ROM without a problem. If I place a PDCD cartridge in
the drive, the same command will not work. I've tried to specify the
file type as vfat, but it does not work. I'm running RedHat 5.2

Try using:
mount /dev/cdrom
then:
cd /dev/cdrom
(sometimes the liked file is /mnt/hdd)
keep in mind how devices are named.
the first floppy drive in linux is fd0
the second is fd1
hard drives are designated hda, hdb, hdc, etc
'ls -la |more' is like the dir command in dos.
oh, and be sure to unmount the disk when through:
umount /dev/cdrom

Subject: HP Colorado 2.5/5GB IDE Tape Drive
This is to report that the HP Colorado 2.5/5GB Internal tape drive
does indeed work with Linux.
Thsi drive has an IDE interface, and was jumpered for being the
Master on the Secondary IDE channel (the CD-ROM Drive is a slave
on the same IDE channel.)
Some details:
Hardware:
- Pentium II 333Mhz (66MHz bus/memory)
- Taiwanese mother board with LX chipset
Software:
- Red Hat Linux 5.1
- Upgraded kernel to 2.0.36 (you need the kernel-headers
and kernel-source RPMs)
Used tar, cpio and dd. They all work well. I wrote files
to the drive and read them back and verified them by
comparing to the original files.
Speed:
The drive is capable of 500 KB per second, as measured
using "time" command and 'dd' command to write data to the
drive and read it back (includes rewind of the tape, so
could be faster if no rewind is done.)
The tape is fairly inexpensive (200 US$ in local market
in Saudi Arabia), and the media is 28 US$ each).
The instructions that came with the tape are very
good, and helps you installing the tape successfully
on the first attempt. There is no guess work involved.
Thanks to those who advised the kernel upgrade.
Regards

Hi there,
of course I checked my hardware settings and as I wrote it doesn't work
even with the HD as the only device at the end of the wide bus (of
course jumpered termination enabled). The problem was that only with the
Linux driver(s) the mentioned errors arise but with w95 everything seems
to work properly. The cable I'm using is the one that came with the
adaptor so I think it's ok but this will be the next thing I'm gonna
check.

Subject: Q: pcmcia-3.0.8 for kernel 2.2.x and MO-drive
Date: Sun, 02 May 1999 18:49:01 +0200
Finally I'd like to access with kernel 2.2.7+ a MO-drive with 640 MByte
media in blocks of 2048-bytes, using card-services for SCSI. But this
seems a long way to go.
When pcmcia is running, so I am only able to access 150 MB on the media.
I upgraded amongst others fileutils and pcmcia. So fdisk runs fine and
announces 606 MBytes. But none of mkfs.minix nor mkfs.ext2 not
mkfs.msdos will do what they should. Either I only get 150 MBytes (looks
like the relation 512:2048 bytes per block; the relation remains as well
when partitioning only 512 MBytes, so I saw 128 Mbytes only) - or mount
would refuse to mount the partition. Mount would as well refuse a
partition, already formatted to fat with the fujitsu tool running under
DOS, or it would tell me that this is an ext2 partition with 150
MBytes.
But this was with pcmcia-3.0.6 and kernel 2.1.131. SuSe Linux with
kernel 2.0.36 comes with pcmcia-3.0.6 up and running (and no support for
2048 bytes/block). I could migrate to 2.1.131 as is distrubuted by SuSe
together with the 2.0.36 kernel. Pcmcia works then under 2.1.131. For
the following output, I put in some few more 'echo's into the pcmcia
script so to show what exactly is loaded - neither pcmcia_core.o nor
i82365.o have additional parameters:
(running on a Compaq Armada 7730 which looks pretty stable for linux
since some PCI-bus quirks seem to having been solved since kernel
2.0.34)

Subject: Problem with ZIP drive
Date: Sun, 2 May 1999 15:49:14 +0100
I posted a message before but didn't get any replies, so thought I'll try
again. I have an iOmega 100 external ZIP drive. I recently installed Red
Hat Linux 5.2 on my PC and the ZIP drive worked fine after the installation.
Then I upgraded the kernel to 2.2.2 and since then, I can't use the ZIP
drive under Linux. The HOWTO said to use imm driver instead of ppa and I
tried both as a module and load at boot. As a module, when I try to load
it, I get a message saying the device is busy or something like that. I
have another machine and it works fine on that. I tried configuring the
kernel identical to the working one but it still doesn't work. I have tried
everything I know. I also have Windoze NT on it and the drive works fine
with NT.
Does anybody know how I can solve this or even any suggestions that I can
try.
Thanks,
Manula.

OK, set it to IO 0x300, IRQ 10. Unless this comflicts with other hardware
of course. If it has a media type autodetect, switch it of and tell it it
to use eather BNC + Coax or UTP.
For this you need to boot your box with dos and then run the config
program from the floppy that came with your nic.

You probably don't. It is very likely that your modem won't work.
If you want to prevent this sort of thing, hav ea look at the hardware
compatability howto before buying hardware.

Hmm. How big can you afford?
IIRC, the ext2 disk size limitations are well beyond what's
presently available.

A start
In the ifconfig text you are showing no RX or TX packets - a dead line. Your
card is starting without errors and setting speed to 10mb. I'd first assume
the card is OK. I assume you are correct about the router A.B.C address and
your A.B.C address being the same and the same subnet mask 255.255.255.0. If
so are the lights blinking on the back of your NIC and if the router has a
LAN activity light is it blinking or on when your system starts.
1. No activity lights - try new cable first
2. Still no activity lights - try changing your system bios to ISA instead
of PNP for IRQ 9. Did that reflect on startup in ifconfig. Still no
activity - change NICS

Rubbish. These work just fine (and have been working that way since the

Subject: RH 6.0 and NE2000

Hey all,
I just installed Redhat 6.0 and it seems to have some difficulty
accessing the Internet. This is really strange because the Redhat 5.2
version installed and accessed the same Internet connection flawlessly.
This is kind of embarrassing because I have to reboot into Windows to
send this email.
The specifics are an NE2000 PCI network card connected to an ethernet
connection connected to a cable modem. The IP addresses are obtained
through DHCP. I followed the default Workstation install and later
re-tried again with a custom install. Booting into (imagine a really
small font) Windows remains capable of accessing the same network card
and Internet connection.
I also noticed that the isapnp.conf file has been drastically changed
from 5.2 to 6.0 and seems to be more configurable through the
control-panel program. The control-panel showed the eth0 device as
active but no IP or DNS entries returned. The inetd is running and I
can make connections to localhost.
If anybody has any ideas or solutions to this problem, it would be
greatly appreciated.
Brendan

Look, this is a discussion newsgroup. Posting binaries, even when
specifically
asked to, is not appropriate behaviour. The best way to do it is to put
it up
on a web page or ftp site.

Hi,
Double check your hardware settings first. Like, are you using quality
68pin cable and the cable is properly terminated at the end by
putting your HD at the end connector and properly jumpered (termination
enabled)?

On what address is the card?
The driver probes a couple of addresses, as defined in
/usr/src/linux/drivers/net/eepro.c.
It probably looks like this:
/* First, a few definitions that the brave might change. */
/* A zero-terminated list of I/O addresses to be probed. */
static unsigned int eepro_portlist[] =
{ 0x300, 0x210, 0x240, 0x280, 0x2C0, 0x200, 0x320, 0x340, 0x360, 0};
Make sure your card is on one of these addresses. Also, it is a good idea to don't have
any other cards on any of these addresses.
A last thought: if the card is PnP, disable it.
