All available CD-burning software for Linux is written to talk to SCSI
devices. IDE-SCSI emulation provides a compatibility layer to enable IDE
CD-R/CD-RW drives to work with the software that's available for Linux.
You don't need an actual SCSI card in your computer, unless (like me) you
have some actual SCSI devices (such as a scanner). SCSI support, IDE-SCSI
emulation, and support for SCSI CD-ROM and SCSI generic devices are what you
want in order to burn CDs. Disable IDE CD-ROM support; through IDE-SCSI
emulation, IDE CD-ROM and DVD-ROM drives will be accessible as SCSI devices
(/dev/scd* instead of /dev/hd*).

Did you edit the file /etc/sane.d/epson.conf?
Mine looks like this:

I have an EPSON 1200U. Configuration is nearly the same as yours.
Yes, I have, and no joy. Since yesterday I have tried the other
USB port on my machine, recompiled sane again, compiled another
linux kernel with USB in the kernel instead of as modules, and
still no joy. It's frustrating because the hardware is obviously
being recognized by the kernel, but sane refuses to use the
scanner device. When I rmmod the scanner module and then
"modprobe scanner" to reload it I get this:

No scanners were identified. If you were expecting something
different,
check that the scanner is plugged in, turned on and detected by
the
find-scanner tool (if appropriate). Please read the documentation

with this software (README, FAQ, manpages).
The sane documentation suggests that I can specify a device from

Hey gang:
I haven't bought or built a PC since the early Pentium days (been spending
my time playing with SUN and HP server equipment). Anyway, I find that
it's about time for me to build a new development/test system to use with
NT and Linux. To that end, I've tried to identify what I believe will make
a good system and choose parts that are compatible.
I'm interested in thougts that other readers might have about my chosen
configuration, and whether my expected costs for the parts seem reasonable:
Tyan SMP P3 Tiger 133 S1834 motherboard 160
ATX 6 drive bay case with 250W power supply 30
PS2 keyboard with tactile response 30
PS2 3 button mouse 10
2 each 256MB 72 bit PC/100 SDRAM600
2 each 600mhz P3 processors (slot 1 type SECC2) 440
2 each Maxtor EIDE 18GB fixed disk 220
IDE cd-rom reader/burner200
Adaptec 2940UW SCSI card175
2X AGP graphics card (S3 chipset with 8MB) 300
20 inch Vision Master 1600x1200 monitor 1000
100mb PCI network card 30
-
3195
I'm wondering whether I can gather the needed parts within the price range
I've listed and I need to make sure that the parts I've listed are all
compatible. Is there anything important that I've forgotten to list?
Is anyone running a similar configuration and can you give me any idea
about performance or noted problems?
I can be reached by posting a followup, or email me at
[EMAIL PROTECTED] where the digits and the word (german) are
removed from the domain name. The (O) is a letter, not a digit...

I just installed Mandrake(a dual boot with win98) and my modem is on
com 5. Linux will not recognize a com 5. What can I do to fix my
dilemma. Thanks advance.
Linux can and will use a 5th serial port if one's really there. More than
likely, there isn't a real serial port there, though. Check the list at
http://www.o2.net/~gromitkc/winmodem.html and make sure that your modem
isn't on the blacklist there. Most computers these days ship with
LoseModems installed instead of Real Modems. For the easiest and best
modem experience with Linux, buy a Real Modem that's external and plugs
into the serial port.
If by some lucky chance you have a Real Modem that's internal, take a look
at http://linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/Modem-HOWTO.html

First problem. I'm very new at linux so cut me some slack
1. I have a trident 9660 card (don't know what chipset or ramdac) and when I
installed Redhat6.0 and it probes for my card, it always returns 8pp (?) at
640x480. It's ok, but I'd rather have my display at 800x600 and I can't seem
to get it to do that. it works fine in windows at 800x600.
2. I have a Modem Blaster DI5630 (If anyone else has one of these please
help me) on COM3 (It's not a winmodem (it's got a rockwell chipset)). I
can't even get the dang thing to initialize in linux in Usernet. But minicom
seems to be able to pick it up. I"m wondering if the initialize string is
bad or something.
Thanks very much
Mike

Redhat states that same thing for Compaq raid controllers and others (IBM
comes to mind)
But if you sniff a little further, you find that if you fiddle you can get
this type of setup to work. (I am not saying your setup will work
sorry --havn't tried that config-- ) but someone somewhere is probably
writing a driver right now for itif there isn't one already made grin
I only had to wait a short time before someone wrote a driver for my raid
controllersYES
Now I am a happy chappy.
My advice is search the net with every tool you can find...you never
know what you will find

Hello,
I know that the Red Hat HW compatibility list says:
"We currently do not support hardware raid in any of the Adaptec AIC78xx
controllers."
and
"Currently you cannot install Red Hat Linux's root partition onto a raid
device."
Unfortunately, I have to work with such hardware and I was wondering if
someone out there has gotten HW RAID up and running on the 78xx series,
preferrably booting off the RAID as well. Any pointers would be of help as
the HOWTOs seem obsolete or not applicable. If not, a "got it going on
Software RAID" note would also be appreciated. Thanks!

I am installing a LS120 superdrive in my computer. I would appreciate if
someone could let me know where to find some instructions on how to do
this, so that linux recognizes it. (I'm using kernel 1.2.13; I want to
install the LS drive to make a backup before trying to install kernel
2.0.35).
Assuming this is an IDE version of the LS-120 and not the parallel port of which
I know nothing.
You're not going to get it to work with your 1.X kernel as 2.0.32 (or maybe 31)
was the first to support LS-120 drives.
However, fit the drive and boot with one of the modern single floppy distros
such as TOMSRTBT (find out about it on freshmeat). This comes with 2.0.36 and
recognises the LS-120 on boot up. I admit I can't remember actually _using_ my
LS-120 under such conditions but if it is seen and recognised in the boot
messages then I'm not worrying. Then mount your existing drive and the LS-120
and copy your stuff off. Hey you may even want to put a linux file system on the
LS-120 drive before you do the backup, it _does_ work, I use mine like this all
this time.
Lastly, you need to check that your motherboard can support these drives, if it
can't then no kernel version will help you.

It's the internal modems that suck dude. Try using/swaping that PC internal
