Re: General Mounting question

[Drew Lane]

Yes, you can do this.

You'll need to know the drive number (e.g. hda6, etc.)

and then you can use the mount command (do a 'man mount')

you can also set this drive up in /etc/fstab

Is it possible to access Mac shared volumes from Linux?   For example,
we have a G4 Mac running OS 9, and a Powerbook running Mandrake 8.0.  I
have an external firewire drive mounted, and shared, on the G4.  Is
there any way of mounting and accessing this drive from the Powerbook? 
I can access shared drives on Windows and other Linux boxes but am not
sure how (or if) I can mount a Mac drive.

Thanks

Nick

Yeeh!!

Got the modem working!!  Ok, originally, it was appearing in dmesg as the
serial driver, after adding the macserial line to the modules.conffile and 
modprobing, the Internal Modem message appeared.

However, kppp still said it couldn't find the modem.  After reading
through the kpp help doco, I found the reference to the pre- and post-initdelays.  
These both default to 50.  I messed around with these a bit, and
found that when I set them to 100, the modem suddenly started to bedetected.

So I'm not connecting though 8.2 and kppp!!

One thing I did find in my travels.. not sure if I'm meant to run it
standalone or not, and that is detect.  It seg-faulted.  Also Harddrakewasn't 
working for me.  linuxconf (in the ppp connection section) was
doing some strange things when backspacing in the fields too. Whetherthis is just 
on the powerbook I don't know, I don't have any other machine
to try it on.
Thanks

I just had got done playing around with this and came up with the same solution, 
thanks Nick.  Minicom and dip were fine with the modem, but kppp needs those delays.

Yes - running detect, it looks like it segfaults reading /proc/cpuinfo.  I'll have a 
look at it. Harddrake is calling detect, so it's failing in the same manner.  I 
wasn't able to duplicate any problem with linuxconf, aside from the usual fear of it 
trashing my config files for me ;^)

Support for Sonnet Upgrade Cards in Mandrake PPC?

[Drew Lane]

Is there any chance Sonnet processor upgrades cards
can be supported in Mandrake PPC?

I have tried getting this to work with several distributions of
Linux PPC, but no luck  My best guess is that
there is a SCSI or IDE driver conflict, but it's just a guess

Sonnet has said they won't support OS X with most
of their cards and Linux is a good alternative for
many older Macs that have these cards

What would have to be done to make this work?

Thank you,

Drew
