I have an IBM AS400 Model 9402-4XX w/Cobra-lite(modified PPC) Proccessor. I
have heard that there is a Linux distribution that will run on it, but can't
seem to find anyone who knows which distribution it is.

Hi, all
I am using Xircom 56 modem and I have Corel Linux OS 1.2 installed on my
computer. The
modem works but very slow. Download speed never exceed 19200. The same modem
with the same ISP works fine up to 53k if I boot to win2k.
I noticed in Connection wizard that IRQ for modem's serial port is set to 0.
Does it mean that its not using IRQ at all?
no it means it uses irq 0 but u should still change it
I know that IRQ9 is not used by any hardware. How can I configure modem to
use that IRQ?
look at the setserial command
general format is like this
setserial ttyS4 uart 16550a irq 12 port 0xa000
thats how i configure my modem
you will need to find out the io address your modem uses as well as
which ttyS it uses.
To keep that configuration u need to put the setserial line in your
bootup script so that its executed each time u start linux.

Subject: Re: How can I install my sound card? (es1371)
i found my ess1868 is supported by the sb driver that is within the
kernel
i recompiled to make isapnp a module as well as the sound support a
module along with the sb driver, mpu and uart.
after doing that and a pnpdump, since my card is isa plug in play, my
ess1868 works fine.
do a 'locate ESS18' to find the kernel documentation file for
installing the modules for the card.
or just try 'locate ESS1' since your card is a slightly different model
name than mine.

I have an ltmodem (a winmodem) in my Gateway notebook. There is a lucent
driver at linmodems.org for it but I cannot seem to get it to work.
Something about the "ltmodem module not found", and I cannot open, say
/dev/modem in minicom.
Is it possible to get this to work? I am using Redhat 6.2.

Isn't there an "after" and "before" directive one can use in modules.conf

force one of the drivers to wait until the other driver has installed by
using that.

The K7V is simply great. I don't have any experience with Microstar though, but
Asus is always top notch quality. I recently installed a K7V with an 700MHz
Athlon for my brother, and it's working great. Even got his old 100MHz SDRAM
working at 133MHz:-) although that doesn't say much about the quality of the
mobo, I guess.

My modem used to work on LM 6 but now on LM 7 nothing I do seems to work.
I've tried the setserial command, and also setting the irq to autoconfig but

a "winmodem". Does anyone have any ideas please?
Is it ISA? You used ISAPNP to configure it (so the card is configured to
some IRQ, IO line)? Then run setserial with irq=that_irq and
io=that_io. You can put autoconfigure at the end so it only autoconfigures
the UART. Does that work? What is your first unused ttySx? ttyS1 (if you
have a com port at ttyS0)? Have you use setserial on that
ttySx? (e.g. setserial ttyS1 irq=what_you_set io=What_you_set)?
(There is no need to install and get ttyS17 to work for something on com
port 18, for example. You can configure the first unused ttySx to use the
desired settings)
(If the modem is PCI, do you have the settings fixed in the BIOS/Setup
or wherever .. and use setserial on your first free ttySx to those
settings?)

Thanks.
There are three paths you can take. One is to take a look at the fixes on
the dell inspiron linux page but pay attention to what your bios is before
starting, the second is to do vesa frame buffer support which should be
built into redhat 6, and the last is to do what I have done. I bought the
Xi Accelerated Laptop graphics drivers. Works great here.
Take care. To find the linux and inspiron pages ask at a search site like
google.

Date: Mon, 30 Aug 1999 01:58:38 +0200
Can someone help me out on extracting a backup EXT2 superblock and
placing it one the right spot? (The 1st 32mb of an 2.5gb ext2 is
overwritten by a fat12 fs, due to some bugs in the NT CD rescue
procedure. I already restored the bootrecord from a backup, but I've no
clue on the EXT2 block and superblock size.. When I use MS DOS fdisk,
it says no space is available on the drive, but it must be like
600 mb free... but maybe that is due to unfamiliarity with EXT2...
I already tried running mkefs -S -t ext2 /dev/hda, after I mirrored the
disc, but when I try to fchk it,
it segfaults just as it already segfaulted before I tried to mkefs it..
btw fchk version is 1.14
When I try to mount it, iso a fs, the directory entry turns into one
file of 32k *1k blocks (32MB)
I've put the mirrored copy back with dd, but I'm still nothing further..
I once was able to mount the corrupted EXT2 fs and than it showed a 32mb
fat12 partition containing
NT data from the rescue disc (the ERD procedure crashed, leaving me with
this sh*t..)
Actually, I just want to retrieve the data, so I looked for a program
like Tiramisu, but that only comes
in FAT(32), NTFS and Novell filesystem flavours...
Any help is appreciated,

Hi All,
I have been trying to get my serial port to talk to different
devices. On Com1 I have a mouse (which works fine.) On COM2 I have either
a SpaceOrb or a servo-Motor controller. I cannot get either of them
working. The Spaceorb comes with a driver but when I run it, nothing
happens. I have written code in-order to talk with the Servo-motor
controller. (Using Termios.) Whenever I run this program, I get errors
saying I cannot write to the opened port.
When I do a cat /dev/cua1 I get device or resource busy (if I boot
with the spaceorb.) or I get input/output error.
Does anyone know if I need to modify something in my init scripts in order
to make cua1 read/write(able)?
I am running Redhat ver. 5.2 on a PPro 166 system.
Thanks for your time.

NO matter what I do, neither device is recognized by linux. When running

menuconfig, it begins to start up, then it gives me an error message,looking
like
/bin/sh: gcc command not found

do my hardware problems have something to do with the ast? has anyone had these
problems before? I thought I had at least semi-quality hardware, especially for
linux, but I can't seem to get these very important aspects working.
