Hi,
with Kernel 2.2.7 and PCMCIA 3.0.10
no SCSI devices are recognised with the Adaptec SlimSCSI 1460B card
It´s no hardware problem because scanner and dat run under win98
Is this a known problem and what is the solution?
I dunno about pcmcia 3.0.10, but certainly back in 3.0.5 days (and maybe 2.2.3
kernel), I used a 1460 adapter. You do have to compile scsi support into the
kernel (I had problems when I compiled it as a module). You might want to
check if /proc/scsi/scsi is created when the card is inserted, and if so, what
devices are present. For the scanner, you will need scsi generic support
compiled in as well (or if a module, loaded), and obviously for the dat you
need scsi tape support compiled in.

Try posting this question to comp.os.linux.networking. Somebody here could
probably handle this question, but you might get a faster response on the
networking newsgroup.

I am a very beginer in Linux.
I have got a LBP-465 (a "winPrinter").
Does anyone know if there is any way to use it under linux.
Thanks a million for your help.

Gene Heskett sends Greetings to bot_b ;
OK boys and girls, been looking at these groups
for a couple of months now trying to find out
what would be the best board for a AMD 400.
Seems you all are working against me though.
Guess I gave up drinking to soon. Is it really to
much to ask? All I want is to build a good upgradable
system that will run LINUX and WINDOWS.
I know it's that WINDOWS thing isn't it.
Yup. that, and your hotmail address. Their fscking spam generator is
working overtime, and this newsgroup is the only one I don't have
hotmail as a blanket kill in my killfile.
That said, the TYAN Trinity, S1590S baby AT mobo seems to be a fine one,
and I have a 400 mhx AMD K6-2/3DNow, with 64 megs of pc100 memory that
seems to be happy except when I run the rc5 client, the overtemp alarm
goes off entirely too quickly.
The general consensus seems to be that the thermometer in the bios is a
bit bogus. Other than that, the board has been zero problems that
weren't configuration related.
Cheers, Gene

I'm looking for a mini-RFC on the machine I'm putting together below. This
machine will start off running RedHat 6.0, then will likely move to Debian or
Caldera as my needs change...please post any
incompatibilities/suggestions/thoughts or whatever. Thanks.

Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
To all those suffering Sig 11 faults with Cyrix/IBM 6x86MX PR chips...
First, who do I blame? Cyrix or IBM?
Second, if a chip is known to flake out just installing Linux can it be
said to be a true 8086 based improvement?
Third, I just got an AMD 150MHz K6-2 3Dnow replacement. No hangs, no Sig
11 messages. No worries at all...
Fourth, I'll ultra narked with having had a CPU I can't change, for 18 months,
which has been occasionally crashing software based on CPU load! BOLLOCKS! Full
marks to linux for letting me diagnose the problem, but I've erased 95,98 and NT
for crashes which now appear to be CPU based!
FLAME **IBM/CYRIX** (whichever...)
(I'm using the reincarnation of a 12 year old IBM, have installed motherboards,
CPU's, RAM, cards on other computers, and my own, I take extra care... So how
come this F*ing chip is the first to F*up?!)
Ah, I feel slightly better for that...
Neil.
Oh and as my pennies worth : Don't we need a
comp.os.linux.hardware.graphics
comp.os.linux.hardware.scsi
comp.os.linux.hardware.scanner
comp.os.linux.hardware.modem
comp.os.linux.hardware.other
split yet? I mean, Linux is expanding!

Hmm. The closest thing in the database is the LBP-460, which I have
listed as a paperweight. It's PCL emulation is in software ;(
I can't find either the 460 or 465 on the Canon web site, although I
have a live URL for a 460 FAQ page in the database. Canon sure
doesn't do much to help owners of older products...
