Re: Athlon XP Motherboard Advice Sought

First off the KT333 is FSB200/266 DDR200/266/333 not FSB DDR 200/266/333 . But the best PC2700 board is the Abit KX333 or Asus A7V333, with the KX7 beatin' the A7V on it's extra DIMM PCI slot (find the extra slots useful) with the slighly more sane position of the FDD port give it the edge.

cdparanoia error from SCSI emulation?
After an old SCSI CD-ROM dyin' I've replaced it with an IDE, temorarly, and am usin' SCSI emulation on the drive, basicaly so everything is still the same, but I've noticed when rippin CD's I get the followin' error.. I've not seen this before is this just to do with the SCSI emulation or is it something to do with the IDE drive? scsi_read error: sector=0 length=7 retry=0 Sense key: 5 ASC: 64 ASCQ: 0 Transport error: Illegal SCSI request (rejected by target) System error: Invalid argument TIA Ani
Re: OT: BIG drives in old P90 ??

I want to put another drive in it, but am wondering about the ability of this old machine to handle the huge hard drives that are on the market. Specifically, 1) Will the kernel be able to see a 20-100 GB drive if the BIOS can't see it ? Last time I checked, the kernel wasn't bothered by the BIOS's limitations, but last time I checked, a ten GB drive was astronomically huge. I'm runnin' various Dell Optiplex's with 20~80Gb HD's none of them can see more than 8.4Gb one no more than but from within' linux I can see the HD... The only problem is that some BIOS's crash when they see drives over 32Gb :( 2) Should I be worried about the heat of a 7200 RPM drive ? This box has nothing more than the power supply fan, and the CPU fan to keep things cool. Also, the HD cage of this case is really tight --- there is very little space for air to circulate between the drives, and there are already two drives in the cage. Actually, there is really only space for two HD in the cage. The new one will being hanging upside down from the bottom of the mounting cage. To be honest unless you're gonna put a second IDE card get a 5k4 rpm drive cause you're just spendin' money on something you're not gonna use causes more problems. Havin' said that goin' back to the Optiplex's in a few I'm usin' Seagate Barra' IV's, for the low noise. I have, however, moded the case to have a fan blowin' air over the HD replaced th PSU fan (for a, compared to the fan that I removed, 'high ouput' Papst 612 M). This has brought the suface temp of the segate down from 45~47°C to 34~36°C. Graham

Well it might not be the CPU that's at fault, what's your soundcard mobo, even with the most sorted latency on VIA chipsets I'm still getting problems with sound cards @ high CPU loads (specialy when building compressing). This can be agrvated by soundcards with problems (creative SB Lives being a prime candidate)...

Looking at top, I saw that some kernel daemon (think kupdated) got *AlOT* of CPU. The system also started responding slow (missing eth0 traffic, ...) Maybe it's normal, maybe it's a kernel bug (only seem to have it with AMD) / chipset bug? Any South Bridge/VIA 686* North Bridge (hope that's the right way round) with untweaked PCI latency = missing of data on anything atached to the PCI bus :( I've not seen this behaviour with _pure_ AMD, SiS Ali chipset mobo's currently activly trying to move all my systems to pure AMD/SiS/Ali chipset mobos... :(..
Help, can't build working netfiler
Okay I did a dist-upgrade to the latest SID on 5/01/2002, replaced the new bin-utils that caused the kernel not to compile but now I can't build netfiler, I try any kernel and any version I get the following (or something very simlar to). This is from a clean 2.4.13 source then patched with ac8 used a config that worked perfectly before I built the kernel, besided lack of plip slip support.

Largedisk-HOWTO clarifcation
The Largedisk-HOWTO is a little unclear about this, but I take it that Linux couldn't give a monkys about the disk size specifed in the BIOS and will address the full size of the disk (as long as it's below 127Gb). Is that right? Ani
