Under mandrake 7.0, the card works fine. The only problem I met is the run sequence of sysv scripts. Because PCMCIA subsystem is more generic - it provides modem(serial) device, ethernet device, etc - it should be run before /etc/rc.d/init.d/network. Mandrake uses the same sequence that Redhat uses - not strange - so when network is started, eth0 can't be used. I manually edited the /etc/rc.d/init.d/pcmcia script, modified the 'chkconfig' line to 'chkconfig 2345 05 96' ( be careful, there are two such lines, you should modify the second one), and then run 'chkconfig --del pcmcia; chkconfig --add pcmcia' , so pcmcia subsystem is started before network subsystem. BTW, the card can't be recoginized when I install mandrake 7.0, but '/etc/rc.d/init.d/pcmcia start' is enough to bring it up. Just create /etc/sysconfig/network-script/ifcfg-eth0 with correct settings and enjoy it. RjB I have a Dell Inspiron 7000 with a 3com 3c575c nic..

If you are not familiar with ISDN, be aware that any TA you use will need a "U" interface (two-wire interface to the Telco). If your TA has an ST interface you will need an NT1 adapter to convert the Telco 2-wire interface to a 4-wire ST interface. Hint: NT1 = $150.00.

Greetings Experts, If there is anybody out there experiencing this problem I would like to know if it can be resolved! Here are the facts: I've compiled the new 6.1 Mandrake kernel with the updates. I've created the bzImage and compiled the modules. I have the new directory created by the "make modules_install" I've moved the "bzImage" into the /boot dir and I've renamed the file, being careful to change the /etc/lilo.conf as well. Everything looks new, but after reboot the "uname -a" shows the old kernel info (the original); what else am I missing in order to get the new one showing? I am positive that I am running the new one because I've removed ALL the old builds! Thank you for your time, Adrian Saidac

When I install mandrake everything goes good. When I use the Linux config. from LILO it crashes with a kernel panic. When I use the Linux-up config it runs fine. I have tried without having the cerlerons overclocked but still get the same prob. I have used mandrake 6.0 and everything worked fine using SMP. I don't really know what to do next besides re-loading 6.0. I have the 2.2.14 kernel and have tried to re-compile and see what it does, but no luck. Anybody had this prob??? Also, how do you retain current settings when trying to compile a new kernel. I would like to recompile the Linux-up config by just adding SMP support, but I can never get my settings back like the were before. Turn off overclocking and see if it doesn't work like it's SUPPOSED to. When you overclock, you make your hardware SIGNIFICANTLY less stable!

RE: [expert] ISDN adapter questions
On Tue, 01 Feb 2000, you wrote: Hi James and everyone else ! If you are not familiar with ISDN, be aware that any TA you use will need a "U" interface (two-wire interface to the Telco). If your TA has an ST interface you will need an NT1 adapter to convert the Telco 2-wire interface to a 4-wire ST interface. Hint: NT1 = $150.00. H.. Not sure what these ST and NT things are... My phone company has supplied me with a rether large box that I connect to my ISDN line. This box is what handles my two phone numbers and supplies me with an analog line to let me use my old phone equipment. I've come to the conclusion, that this box (called NTAB) will make my life much easier and is everything I need. Well, except a TA that is... I only mention this because some of the PC based TA's don't have an onboard NT1. BTW !!! this info is only true for United States installations. Canada and Mexico Telco's will supply an NT1 if asked (no idea of charges). The usual cost to get an ISDN line here is Sweden, is about $150 - $200 (don't knw the exact value of a $US for the moment so I count that one $ = 10 Swedish Kronor). /Jocke! -- "It ain't so much the things we don't know that get us in trouble.

Re: [expert] dual drives and processor
I have a thorny newbie question about CPU's and multiple drives. 1- Is Mandrake6.0 okay with AMD K6-3 CPU? The hardware list has K, K6-2 and Athalon but no mention of the K6-3, which is an upgraded K6-2. My friend and I are learning Linux together. We both have multiple drives and Windows loaded, but different configurations and this is where the thorny part begins. We both want to access Windows files, but can't seem to find the /mnt point. John has 3-drives. W95 is on the main drive; LINUX on the 3rd drive, a secondary master. /mnt/Hdc1 doesn't work. The file size is read but he gets the same error message I do that asks, "Aren't you trying to mount a ? partion instead of a ? inside?" My system is a little more complicated. My master drive has multiple W98 paritions plus L-M at the end of this drive which is recognized as hda9 and hda11. The second drive is a slave. The MO backup is the Secondary Master and is NOT recognized by L-M. When I watch L-M set up I see the following lines: 1)hda 1,2 5,6,7,8,9,19,11 2)hdb 15,6 (backup files) 3)hdc Unknown I think 1) is the A:, C: plus the paritions including EXT2. I think line 2) is the secondary drive with it's two partitions And, I hope 3) is the MO drive. What is the correct mount for the two machines? I have FAT 16 and FAT32 files in W98. Will vfat allow me to access both files type? Thanks for the help and I apologize for the lengthy message. Pj [EMAIL PROTECTED]
