[expert] MDK 8.1 scsi-emulation and IDE Tape drive
Hi All, I have just had to rebuild a server and decided to use 8.1. This box previously ran 8.0 with a HP Colorado IDE 14 Gb tape unit. This worked great. With the 8.1 installed there was no /dev/st0, I assumed that for whatever reason, ide-scsi was not installed (8.0 was automatically installed). I have looked about the forums and some suggest that the kernel needs to be rebuilt. Other suggestions appear to add a line to lilo.conf, hdd=ide-scsi. This instance hda is the boot device and hdd in the tape unit. Anyway, with the line added to lilo.conf the /dev/st0 now exists but cannot write to the device using normal methods. I guess I am missing something. I really would not like to rebuild the kernel unless I have no choice (never done it before) because the box is a P120, so it could take a while. Any suggestions would be great!

Re: [expert] Slightly OT: Supporting Mandrake
I've got some idea to explain why paying for a distro could be reasoned: The main idea is to have the source open as mentioned several times. We want Linux to grow and prosper. So we're forming a community with some sort of membership fees to additionally empower the open source idea with money. It's just the idea of one for all and all for one transferred. Anybody can think of many concepts of membership fees, buying a distro could certainly be considered to be one. ciao Thorsten Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

[expert] pcmcia problem.
Hi, I am using a pcmcia compact flash adapter to get pictures off my digital camera. This has worked fine in Mandrake 8.1, but in the 8.2 beta's and the RC it doesn't work right. What happens is that I have to insert the card twice before I get the two 'beeps' that confirms the card has been detected. The first time I insert it nothing happens (not even in the logs). After the card is detected, on second insertion, I am able to mount the file system (vfat) and get the pictures off the card. The real problem comes when I want to remove the card. Even after having umounted the file system the laptop freezes up completely when I eject the card (I have to pull the plug). To avoid the freeze I have to stop the pcmicia service with before ejecting the card. I didn't have to do this in 8.1, and the card was also detected the first time I inserted it.

[expert] Problems with Beta 4
Hello, I just did two installs of Beta 4. Hope this is the right place to put this. #1. I didn't see a Press F1 for text setup screen. I needed this for one machine, and I finally got it after several tries, but still don't know when it was looking for it. #2. In both text and graphic installs, it never seems to ask if I had disks 2-3 - it only knows about packages on disk #1. #3. The DHCPD package that it installs has a line missing from the sample dhcpd.conf file. The error it prints in the syslog isn't helpful either, because it tells you to add a line that only gives you a different error. You need to add ddns-update-style none to make it work. This should be in the sample config file! #4. In the text install, after making the initial package selection, it said I didn't have enough space. The package selection apparently didn't update the MB Needed counter, as it never changed on the display either. However, when I hit ENTER a second time (after it refreshed the screen with my same selections), it then took it. #5. In the graphical install, the program never picks up my ISA NE2000 cards. There should be a way to enter your IO address and IRQ if it can't be smart enough to figure this out. #6. In both text and graphic installs, when it comes to HD partitioning, if you let it do its auto thing, it makes the first partition hda1, then the next hda5, hda6, etc. Is this correct? I thought hda1 should be an extended partition the full size of the drive, with the first logical drive (hda5) being the first linux partition. Is this not totally correct? #7. In the text install, on the screen where you select what to run on startup, it just shows a big list - there is no description anywhere that can be seen what this list actually is. Another cosmetic thing: parts of the network installation box (when it found my NE2kpci card) remained on the screen for the rest of the install. #8. In at least the text install (and maybe the graphic install), it didn't install the telnet client (which I had selected to install). On doing a rpm -ihv of the package, it installed, but gave some DB2 error. The telnet client seems to work ok. That is all so far. Bob Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

If Tyan had not disabled the ability in the BIOS to allocate IRQ per slot, this would not be a problem. (Why would they do this on a server class mobo? They don't have a clue.) Hoyt, Tyan in the past has filled some large market gaps. In the pentium 1 days, they were one of the few mobo manufacturers to offer a dual processor mainboard. Between 1992 and 1998 I had a networking business, and we offered the hardware and the networking expertise for windows/Novell hybrid lans. Prior to 1992 one of my jobs was mobo and hardware eval for a local Computerland. Later, for my customers we standardized on tyan mobos; at that time they were the best. However, as time rolled on, there were mobo manufacturers that emerged as being more adaptable to the needs of the public. For one thing, web hardware sites emerged that actually tested and benchmarked the system boards. One thing that peeps really wanted was a way to overclock processors. As this practice took on more impetus, so did the engineers designing the chipsets for these mobos. For another thing, the chipsets had to be extremely (and I mean REAL) fault tolerant. At first glance, an overclocking mobo might seem like a non-server, more error prone solution. Actually that's backwards; the companies that were surviving on the reputation that their boards were Server boards, were actually coasting and resting on their laurels. In the meantime, companies like Abit, Asus, FIC, Epox, and other Dr Tom roundup graduates were in reality putting out infinitely more adaptable and robust product; far exceeding the requirements for a server board. You can't lie to the hardware sites; they are going to test your stuff. Even more to this degree, you cannot lie to Tom's Hardware; Dr Tom is the supreme source for honest hardware advice. I don't mean to be telling anything that you are not already aware of; I guess I'm putting this down for anybody else that might be interested too. Of late, I've gotten away from the hardware aspect (thank God), but for old customers, close friends and such I've basically standardized on Abit hardware. (for now, unless they get shown up really bad, like Tyan did some years back.) My opinion regarding Tyan is that they really have not responded to the bleeding edge users like they should have; and it's not a recent thing either, it's been going on for a long time now. There's no problem like a hardware problem. And when you have a hardware problem, there's no substitute for a tech like hands on access to the system. One final question. Have you tried downloading an older version of the bios and flashing it with that? One that is capable of handling the IRQ's in a more intelligent way? Also...the corollary to this is: does your mobo as of right now have the most current bios version? If not, it may pay for you to go the other way as well to newer. Just make sure smartdrv.exe is not loaded in the boot process when you boot the dos disk to flash the bios. Or you could lose the system.
