Does anybody know if the Epson 880 works with RH 7.0, and Kernel
2.2.16-22 .
I was unable to find any 860's anywhere. Has anybody been able to get
this printer to work?

Well, naturally no one responded. However, for posterity (and the Deja
news archives), I discovered my problem on my own.
My computer had ACPI enabled. I haven't really looked into the issue,
but apparently Linux (RH6.0 -- NOT 6.1 as I thought) doesn't recognize
ACPI, and thus flags the interrupt it was using as available -- in my
case IRQ 9. Now, why all my attempts to point the wavelan card at a
different IRQ failed, I have no idea. Whatever the case, disabling ACPI
totally solved my problem. Now I'm happily using my Linux box to route
my local wired network, my wireless network and the internet. Glory be

I spent a week trying to get the same chip to work with a 2.2.16 kernel before I
gave up and upgraded to 2.4. The driver for the VIA Technologies VT82C686
Apollo Super AC97 multimedia audio controller was rewritten somtime between
2.2.16 and 2.4 and works just fine in 2.4

Thanks for your suggestions ... I tried them all but I still seem to have
the same problem ... the drivers install fine, modules load fine, but I
cannot hear anything ... very strange ... i'm wondering if maybe it's a
problem with my PCI bus or something? I've done 'cat /proc/pci' and I
get:
Bus 0, device 8, function 0:
Multimedia audio controller: Unknown vendor Unknown device (rev 254).
Vendor id=12eb. Device id=2.
Medium devsel. Fast back-to-back capable. IRQ 11. Master Capable.
Latency=64. Min Gnt=4.Max Lat=12.
Non-prefetchable 32 bit memory at 0xec00 [0xec00].
I/O at 0xc800 [0xc801].
I/O at 0xcc00 [0xcc01].
Can anybody who has a an Aureal Vortex 2 tell me if this looks ok? Is
there a way to tell the au8830.o module specifically what are the I/O
addresses or IRQ of the sound card?
Thanks!

Hi masters!
Does anyone here knows how to install RH6.1, on a ATA66 harddisk
using a (duh!) PCChips M747 mother board (I think it uses SiS 5598
chipset). Even if I creat a 1MB partition the installer says "/boot
partition too big"
Thanx in any help

My 486 machine is almost certainly older, and it has a Soyo motherboard
and was fitted with an Award BIOS. It would cope with 8.4Gb (in LBA
mode) and just ignore the rest of the drive, but I had no problem
booting from it, and Linux was quite happy to use the rest of the drive.
However, I eventually found a BIOS upgrade (MR Bios) from
www.unicore.com (I actually used www.tssc.de but they don't seem to sell
the BIOS upgrades anymore) which means my machine is now perfectly happy
with any practical size of HD.

The both mainboards share the same intel chipset 440FX. I used patched kernel 2.2.17 for AUSUS P/I-P6NP5 and 2.4.0-pre6 (from RH7 distribution) for intel VS440FX. On both computers the hpt366 works well under w95osr2. Under linux, however, the controller is detected, disks are recognized properly but system hangs at random places during bootup. Specifying kernel parameters idebus=30 ide2=noautotune (for PPro 3x60MHz and intel mainboard) the controller correctly boots up in pio0 mode (I suppose = performance is 1.35MB/s). Under pio4 mode (switched using hdparm -p4 /dev/hde) system works, but with worse performance than with ordinary ide0 controller (2.31 vs. 3.18 MB/s). Enabling dma (hdparm -d1 -X34 /dev/hde) cause error ide-dmaproc: chipset supported ide_dma_timeout func only:14 and the system hang. Any comments, please Cyril F.

To start the system in DMA 33 mode (or less) follow the directions in the Ultra-DMA HOWTO -- section 5.1. Then you need to build a Kernel v. 2.2.26 with the ide patch applied. Remember to use the global parameter "linear" in you "lilo.conf" file. It is my understanding that you do not have a HD with anything installed on it in your system. Therefore, you will need to start an installation, get to a console, get the numbers and enter them some how. With RedHat, you would enter at the "Boot:" prompt: linux ide2=0x, with the numbers you obtained from: cat /proc/pci Read the HOWTO and then ask more questions.
