Date: Thu, 21 Sep 2000 16:31:59 -0500
Hello,
I'm running Linux Mandrake 7.1, and am having problems with an
IRQ conflict between the PCI modem and NVIDIA's graphics driver,
which both want IRQ 3. As a result, if I first dial-up and then try to
startx, the X server freezes, and if I startx and then try to dial-up,
the modem cannot "get terminal I/O params." (Yes, I can dial-up
outside X, xor run X just fine.)
Since I don't have any ISA cards (in fact my motherboard doesn't
have any ISA slots), isapnp tools (pnpdump in particular) don't
give me any information to work with --- it just comes back with
"no boards found."
I guess I could install a 2.3 series kernel and let honest-to-God pnp
take care of the mess. However, is there some other relatively easy
solution for this problem? A few pointers to the right tools would be
sufficient, but complete solutions are always welcome. :-)
Thanks much!

I got handed a new work machine, based on an Intel D815EEA all-in-one type
motherboard. It came with Windows 98SE, now I've also got Linux (Red Hat
6.2) running, so I can pass on a couple of things:
The built-in ultra66/100 controller works, on the Quantum Fireball
20gig that it came with anyways. I went from 4mb to 25mb/sec by
turning on dma which was off by default (hdparm -d1).
I had problems with the built-in ethernet. It shows up as eepro100
in Windows, but the FOUR different eepro100 drivers I got from
various linux places didn't work. However, Intel offers a linux
driver, e100, which DOES work. I got it from here:
http://support.intel.com/support/network/adapter/pro100/30504.htm
The built-in video was disabled, it's useing a Matrox card instead,
so it works in that fashion. :-)

I had exactly the same problem. The minicom test worked fine and I
was able to startup pppd using the manual method with minicom. After
many tests, it seems the chat scripts from which I wrote my own were
buggy. I rewrote it on a single line taking care to remove all unecessary
options (TIMEOUTs, ABORT, etc) until it works. I ended with a minimal
chat script, but a working one...
Hope this can help

I have had this happen to me seemingly at random. If the files sit in
the Windows machine, it is a Windows issue. I usually reinstall the

- why even involve the Windows spooler??

Hi,
I solved this problem by changing the option "PCI Latency Delay". Had to
put a value of 16.
You can also try the alsa sound drivers. Check at
http://www.alsa-project.org/~valentyn/Alsa-sound-mini-HOWTO-4.html
This driver works better than the native kernel driver

Make sure that your root partition lies in cylinders less than 1024!
Even if BIOSes and other programs claim to be free of this problem, its
better to use a bootable partition that is within the 1024 cylinder limit.

Jeff,
I'm sorta in the same boat as the original poster, but perhaps in a
slightly lower price range. I found the price of the Alpha 21164, 533Mhz
box, about the same as a dual 500Mhz PentiumIII (I know, no real
improvement over Pentium II, but the pricing was inline with PentiumII
*if* it ran at that speed). The Alpha had a SpecFP95 of 21.9 & SpecINT95
of 16.6, where a *single* 500mhz P-III had a SpecFP95 of 14.7 and
SpecINT95 of 20.6. Supposedly, from the Spec benchmarks, a dual P-III
system *should* be better at floating point than the Alpha 21164 533
Mhz. (I'll believe it when I actually see it...;-)
My question for you is, what kind of prices are we talking about for a
dual 21264 alpha machine?

Date: Tue, 09 Mar 1999 18:57:44 GMT
I have a curious problem with the Netgear FA310TX on my RH5.2 system. The
card is recognized fine, but when I try to telnet to another machine the
telnet hangs. HOWEVER, if I do a nslookup of a machine just BEFORE I do a
telnet then the telnet works fine - returns immediately with a login prompt.
Does anyone know why that would be the case ?
When I replaced the Netgear card with a 3Com 3c590 (with approp. entry in
conf.modules), the telnet works fine right on the first try, i.e. I don't have
to any nslookup.
I have tried the latest public domain tulip.c driver and the one from NetGear
(mine is a D1 board - uses the NetGear chip). Tried also the driver that ships
with RH5.2. They all give the same problem.
Thanks in advance,
Pari
