Please forgive my English; I'm USAian.
Distro: Mandrake 7.2
kernel: 2.2.17-21mdk
Motherboard: PC Chips M805LR, 256MB RAM, 1GHz K7
Tape Drive: HP COLORADO 8GB, ATAPI TAPE drive
Like so many others, I'm having trouble getting my HP IDE tape drive
working. I've tried as a regular IDE device with no luck. Most of the
advice I've seen here suggests to use SCSI emulation. So I reconfigured
the kernel, answering "N" to "Include IDE/ATAPI tape support?" and "Y"
to "SCSI Emulation", "SCSI Support", "SCSI tape support" and "SCSI
generic support", relinked it and now:
# mt -f /dev/st0 rewind
/dev/st0: Input/output error
# mt -v
mt-st v. 0.5b
# tar tvf /dev/st0 /*
tar: /dev/st0: Cannot read: Input/output error
tar: At beginning of tape, quitting now
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
# dmesg
Can anyone help? Thanks.

This is wrong. You aren't following the instructions correctly. What
windows calls COM3 in this case is *not* what linux calls COM3. Use the
/dev/ttyS14 that the ltmodem install should have set up for you. There
should be a symlink from /dev/modem to /dev/ttyS14.

You can't use setserial. You must make sure the device files are
correct as above and then '/sbin/insmod -f ltmodem.o'. Do '/sbin/lsmod'
to be sure it loaded. If it still doesn't work, try rebooting. If that
doesn't clear things up, then you may need to set "plug-n-play=no" in
the BIOS setup. (You only need to do this if 'cat /proc/pci' does not
show an IRQ on the Lucent Technologies modem.)
> I am running SuSe Linux 6.3 on a 150MHZ Pentium with 48MB of RAM and 2
I don't know what kernel SuSe 6.3 uses, but ltmodem works to 2.2.13. It
might work to 2.2.14. And it won't work on 2.2.15 and 2.2.16 unless you
recompile the kernel to have compatible ppp support.

Try turning around the front fan.
You're forgetting about the fan in your power supply which (for an ATX
supply) should be blowing air in.
If the PS fan and the front case fan are both blowing in, I think it
will create turbulence, which will impede airflow.
If the PS fan blows in and the other two both blow out, it should create
a smooth airflow from the PS through the rest of the case.

If you're not overclocking, this should not be necessary.
You can get them from many sources, if you need one. Local computer
shows near me always have someone selling them. Do some web searches if
you don't find one locally.
As for installation, they normally come built-in to heat sinks and
attach in the same way a CPU fan does.

Be sure to read 'README.MGA' included in the XFree distribution--there
are lots of options for this server. If you are still unhappy, spend

I think I was the first person to report success with the 4224. (I
know it didn't appear on the success list until after I reported,
anyway.) Care to join me as a brave pioneer?
What I did was buy my drive, follow the CD-Writing HOWTO
instructions, and discover that it worked fine.

Dear Colleagues,
What a great community!
This is a followup to my message earlier today. In that note
I summarized my attempts to resolve my "lp not configured" situation
in which my RH 5.1 Linux system would not print *most of the time*.
So far, this seems to be a problem with Compaqs, and since it seems
related to BIOS it might be limited to Compaqs, but I'll do this
general posting so others can avoid the frustration.
Shortly after I sent my note I got a response from
Tom Aschenbrener in Dallas that identified the source of the problem
and solution. I've appended his message for those who can't try
my alternative solution.
I foolishly assumed that the PC/printer interface would be most
likely to work correctly if the printer were on during reboots. So I was
carful to have the printer turned on when I rebooted my PC. Tom
found that just the opposite is true and the printer should be turned
*off*.
As Tom suggested, I found that the problem is with the BIOS
setting for the parallel port mode (on Compaqs, at least). Tom's
solution works if you need EPP, ECP, or bidirectional mode. If you
can use "compatible" mode, the printer system works whether the
printer is on or off during reboot.
I got a number of responses to my note. Thanks to you all.
I hope that summarizing back helps repay the community just a bit.
