I had plans on compiling ALSA from cvs, but if this works I rather do a kernel upgrade. 2.4.9 also has some rather significant bugfixes compared to the ancient 2.4.4 that is shipping. Not to forget the huge VM fixes coming in .10 now. You got some details what the dma sound support is? I know what DMA is, but what is ALSA using then? -- Henrik Edlund [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.edlund.org/ You're young, you're drunk, you're in bed, you have knives; shit happens. -- Angelina Jolie
Titanium Install
Well I finally redid my Titanium to the finaly distribution. * The boot actually gave me a chance to choose what video to use (i.e. I got a boot prompt). * The video mode at the boot prompt didn't work unless I booted via open firmware. Weird. But progress was made. * I'm continuing to use my hackish way of installing netscape. And the keymap issue that I was getting from netscape and real audio is gone. Wahoo! * Still didn't realize I had 1152x768. But it's easy to fix by change the XF86Config-4. Looks like a lot of stuff was fixed in the Finaly.

weird disk problems
Hi, I'm trying to install a new maxtor 80gig drive in my umax j700 with a
turbomax card runnning mandrake 8.0, but i'm having some problems that i
can't figure out. was hoping somewhere here might have some ideas.
first i tried diskdrake, but i got an illegal division by zero error
whenever i tried to format that drive. so i switched to fdisk and besides
the fact that it mentioned something about 9964 cylinders instead of 4096,
everything seemed to work. set one primary partition and that was it.
formatted with mke2fs and everything seemed fine (although i wonder how
necessary it is to reserve 5% of the disk space for the superuser. on an
80GB drive, this is a big chunk?).
but disk performance seemed fairly slow, so i ran hdparm to see what the
settings on the disk where and this is what i get:
[]# hdparm /dev/hdg
/dev/hdg1:
multcount = 0 (off)
I/O support = 0 (default 16-bit)
unmaskirq = 0 (off)
using_dma = 1 (on)
keepsettings = 0 (off)
nowerr = 0 (off)
readonly = 0 (off)
readahead = 8 (on)
HDIO_GETGEO_BIG failed: Input/output error
[]# hdparm -i /dev/hdg
/dev/hdg:

Drive Supports: ATA/ATAPI-6 T13 1410D revision 0 : ATA-1 ATA-2
ATA-3 ATA-4 ATA-5 ATA-6
i'm not quite sure why it can't get the geometry of the drive. when i run
this on the other drive attached to the turbomax card, i have the same
problem. trying to run it on the scsi disk is even worse. so i'm wondering
if there's something wrong with hdparm or what?
also, now when i run diskdrake just to check out the drive, it says that i
have two paritions, one 530 GB and one 1TB. which is obviously not right.
this is the partition table from fdisk
Disk /dev/hdg: 255 heads, 63 sectors, 9964 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hdg1 1 9964 80035798+ 83 Linux
like i said, the drive seems to be working okay, just slow. but all this
weird info kinda worries me. should i just ignore it all?
thanks

ppc install freeze on beige g3
I'm having a problem booting into the install program on a beige (olworld) G3. I have bootx properly installed. But unless I choose the no video driver option, I get stuck immediatly as soon as boot into Linux begins, on a black screen with some system specs. Choosing no video driver I get to the screen wehre I choose the install source methods (i.e. FTP, cd, etc.). After choosing cd, the progress bar slides past, loads second stage install and then takes me to a blank screen, beige background with a sort of cross-hatch pattern where it stays. After about 10-15min a blue rectangle appears on the lower right hand corner (where the explanations during the install process would show up) and stays there indefinately.

Airport works though. But when I have an internet connection I core dumps when I try to run host or nslookup.
