Re: [expert]
Matt, I think Ronald has hit on something else here too. My Pilot wouldn't sync with Jpilot for the longest time until I changed to using /dev/ttyS2. For some reason that's what the serial port was at on my computer. Maybe yours is set up the same. Worth a try at least. Keith -- There's ease of use and then there's ease of usefulness.

Re: [expert] Quake II
James, You might want to try running ldconfig after you install the glide libraries. I've never used glide but it's generally a good idea to run the command after new libraries are installed. You can also add the directory to /etc/ld.so.conf explicitly before you run the command, although if it's in /lib or /usr/lib you should be okay automatically. Good luck!

Re: [expert] Dual AMD K6's?
As far as I know the only info is that it will support DDR-RAM, Dual processors, and a 266mhz FSB, and it will debut after the 760 (also from AMD) which has all of the above but does not support dual processors. I expect the 770 at the end of 2000 but that's according to the current AMD roadmap which may change. Keith -- There's ease of use and then there's ease of usefulness. Choose usefulness.

Re: [expert] Yamaha OPL3-SAx Sound Card
Simon, Have you loaded all of these modules (they're essential). soundcore soundlow sound opl3 mpu401 ad1848 opl3sa2 I have a Yahama ISA card and I have to load all these modules in order to get it to work. Usually sndconfig loads the correct ones but you might want to check to make sure. Also, sndconfig can't work unless these are modules, i.e. you can't compile them directly into the kernel and then set up your soundcard using sndconfig. Hope this helps.

Re: [expert] enabling sound
Yamaha PCI cards are not supported by the kernel sound subsystem (OSS/Free) because they aren't documented extensively enough. You could however fork over the $20.00 for the OSS/Commercial sound drivers which I believe will power the Yamaha PCI boards. Go to www.opensound.com for more info.

You don't actually have to compile it. There are RPM's available on the net if you are averse to compiling. However, distribution makers cannot include it as an RPM. See www.replay.com.

You are mistaken in this assumption. Because Linux is a Unix-like system it stores disk writes in buffers and then writes them later on. This makes the computer seem faster but it also has the effect that if you don't properly shutdown the computer Linux doesn't have time to "sync" the buffers with the disk and you risk losing data if a lot of data is in the buffers. > > > > > > Then I think the problem fixed in upgraded kernel > > > and initscripts is that my RPM database is still exist. > > > I can also login at the prompt. > > > The "mount/unmount [failed]" problem is always > > > exist. > > > > > > What did you expect?
