(David Thor Bragason) From: "Jacob Hooysma" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: SuSe 7.0 and Asus A7V promise ATA-100 Date: Tue, 12 Dec 2000 09:03:11 +0100 Hi All, I just got SuSe 7.0 and trying to install it on a Asys MoBo A7V with a Quantum Fireball plus 20,4 as master on the ATA100 interface and a Seagate Barracuda 20,4 as slave on the ATA100. The first problem was that Suse didn't recognise both HD. After downloading a special boot flop from the Suse site is does find the harddisk during boot but after that the system hangs. Has any body seen this before or knows a solution to this problem ? Grtx Jacob -- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Storage Solution? Date: Tue, 12 Dec 2000 08:28:14 GMT I am looking for suggestions on my new storage server. I need as much space as possible on a single computer but low performance requirement. I have got Asus A7V which has two ATA/66 port and two ATA/100 port. I know I'll need drivers for ATA/100 controller, right? I plan to populate this server with Maxtor 80G drives. I plan to boot off one 20G drive (special reason) and then have the other drives running software RAID 5 and yes, I know that's going to kill performance, but as I mentioned, performance is not an issue here. Other than the one drive that is the booting drive, I can host 7 other 80G drives with the on-board IDE, am I correct? And would I be possible to also use PCI IDE controller card to get more drives on this computer? Are there any disadvantages of doing this? My target is 11 drives x 80G, is that archievable?

This is usually configured to wait for either a number of bytes or a single byte and a timeout before it triggers an interrupt. This number of bytes can be set to 2, 8 and 14 IIRC. Try disabling the FIFO (configure it as a 15450 using setserial) and tell me if it works!

You might want to check this, but off the top of my head 0.3.2 needs a 2.2.x kernel.

Hi! HP 8100 is supported by cdrecord, BUT you need to turn on SCSI EMULATION for ide cd-rom drives, e.g., you need to recompile your kernel selecting: ... SCSI emulation support (CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDESCSI) [N/y/m/?] y ... You also need to enable SCSI support, SCSI cd-rom, and generic SCSI support asked later. When booting new kernel, you should see, that your HP 8100 was also detected as SCSI CD-ROM. If it works, cdrecord should work w/o problems.
