Re: SOT: Networking/Inquiry on 3Com 3C905B-TX

Anything I should be aware of? I have them in all my machines, and they're fine. I've not tried loading them extremely heavily though. I've heard of them causing kernel panics when very highly loaded, but have never seen this myself. In fact, I've never had a problem with them, other than NT making them unusable on a dual boot machine, until I unplugged the power lead (but that's a PnP problem, I think). A lot of people recommend the Intel EtherExpress as an alternative (similar sort of price round my way too). -- Graham
Re: linux in the workplace

I would have thought that would make a rather nice end to your demo. many people in my office have seen it (wm), and have asked how to install linux simply because they like the interface I'm using so much. they haven't actually done it yet, but that's life.

starting isapnp (was Re: configuring sound (easy?))
On 10 Dec, Ole J. Tetlie wrote: If you can't figure things out from the HOWTOs (Marcus Brinkmann has written a fine SB 32 HOWTO) I'm sure there are plenty of people on this list who have a working SB AWE 64 (me included :-) and can help you. I hope so! I've currently reached the stage where I've recompiled my kernel having applied the latest awe-drv patch, and am trying to get the module to load. I've been following the sbawe32 HOWTO to the letter. I'm not sure that my /etc/rc.* files are firing up isapnp when they should be though. The isapnp docs just say it should go in your system's startup scripts, but they don't say specifically which one. In /etc I have; -- humbug:root find . -name *isa* ./init.d/isapnp ./rcS.d/S15isapnp ./isapnp.conf -- So my question is this - where should I put my link to /etc/rc.d/isapnp? I've had a look at the debian faq, specifically question 11.4, which mentions the update-rc.d utility. This looks rather swanky, and I'll have a play with it, but the /etc/rc.boot directory isn't mentioned, and I thought that I perhaps ought to put it in there instead. Any ideas? Thanks. Oh, the problem I'm having with the awe64 at the moment looks something like this (having recompiled kernel + modules); -- humbug:root /etc/init.d/isapnp Board 1 has Identity c2 1a 6a eb 98 e4 00 8c 0e: CTL00e4 Serial No 443214744 [checksum c2] humbug:root modprobe -a sound /lib/modules/2.0.36/misc/sound.o: unresolved symbol unload_awe /lib/modules/2.0.36/misc/sound.o: unresolved symbol attach_awe -- does that look familiar to anybody? -- Graham

I'm not sure exactly which package it's from, but dselect tells you if you highlight the right one. have a look in /usr/doc/debian/faq (which will be there if the relevant package is installed). then have a look at some of the questions and answers in there. I found them quite enlightening (also a fairly new user). -- Graham
Re: QUantifiable reasons to use debian instead of redhat...?
On 10 Dec, Marc Barnett wrote: My preference is debian, there's all sorts of instinctual gut feelings behind this, plus some things like Superior package system etc that are actually useful to express. this isn't a technical reason, but I believe NASA chose Debian. you could argue that if it's good enough for them... and if you're really going to have 50-100 systems then I'd have thought you'd find that maintaining them with dselect (from a local mirror, for example) easier than with rpm (not that I've looked into the available add ons for rpm that you can probably get). Red Hat do have the kickstart thing that would make installing all that stuff quite easy, but I wouldn't be surprised if debian had something comparable. for what it's worth, I'm a debian newbie (ex red hat user). -- Graham
configuring sound (easy?)
I'm running 2.0.36 on i386, and have a SoundBlaster AWE 64 plugged into it, which is unconfigured. I used to use Red Hat, which came with a rather neat little utility called soundconfig (I think) that was capable of automatically helping you install a module for soundblaster compatible cards. It was rather neat. It loaded the module and put the right DMA/IO bits and pieces in /etc/conf.modules for you. I was just wondering if Debian had a similar tool? If not I'd better dig the Sound HOWTO out and start reading, I suppose :( Thanks. -- Graham
