I have a KT7A and 45gb ibm gxp, I was able to successfully install mandrake
7.2 on the last 5gb with the drive connected to the first ATA100 port (which
shows up as ide3/hde) without any dramas, the bios was even "smart enough"
to be able to boot from this partition without any special tinkering.

TIFF file is corrupted!!!(HylaFax)
I already wrote about this problem. I am using Red Hat 5.2 on my server and
HylaFax as fax-program. I have modem Zyxel U1496E+. When I am working in
Internet, the modem's work is fine. But when I want to receive or to send
the fax, modem do not work! Transfer is beginning, run,run, and ... error!!!
The connection is dead. It I told. What I made. I run the programm
faxaddmodem, and set the parameter PercentGoodLines equal 0, the parameter
MaxConsequtiveBadLines equal 100. So, I can to receive any fax! But! All
faxes, received as TIFF files, is corrupted! Kodak Image Viewer can't to
read it. There is some error in process transferring the information.
Do You can help me? What I made incorrect?
Thanks! Dima.
P.S. How I can to switch on my modem, which work with Hylafax, the regime
pulse/tone?

Anything that's SCSI-2 (or SCSI-3) compliant should work, even with no
special drivers. (Although you may want a driver if your drive has a
feature that the generic SCSI-tape drivers don't support.)
I realize that SCSI tape drives cost more than ATAPI drives. That's
unfortunate. I can't say how well an ATAPI tape drive may or may not
work, since I've never used one. I have used several different SCSI
tape drives, and all have worked fine with the generic SCSI-tape drive
that Linux comes with.
Don't worry about the price of a SCSI card. If you get an inexpensive
drive, it will use the older 10M/s SCSI standard. You can get 10M SCSI
cards for pretty cheap these days.
If you get a high-performance drive, it will probably use Ultra-, Ultra2
or Ultra160 SCSI. In order to take advantage of the speed, you'll need
a high-performance SCSI card. They will probably cost between $100 and
$300.

I would disagree. I have formatted ext2 ZIP disks and still access them from
sda4. I has to be something else or specific to his system configuration.

Eh? My last post (about the fstab) wasn't proposing anything! I was
replying to the suggestion that mounting a vfat disk randomly on
different partitions might make a difference. If you previously mounted
it on sda4 and haven't reformatted it or anything then it will still
mount on sda4.

Subject: Mouse Problem: PS2 mouse/keyboard. Keyboard hangs when ps2aux read from
Date: Mon, 14 Jun 1999 06:50:46 GMT
OK, I'll rub the bump on my forehead.
I'm trying to get my mouse working on my machine. Basically though, running
X, gpm, or simply 'cat'ing /dev/mouse (linked to /dev/ps2aux) causes my
keyboard to become unresponsive (and the mouse does nothing as well).
I figured that I would do a strace of cat to see what it might tell me.
I'll summerize the results. Basically, the last 5 lines of the trace are as
follows
fstat(4, {st_mode=S_IFCHR|0666, st_rdev=makedev(10, 1), ...}) = 0
brk(0x805) = 0x805
read(4, "\2", 4096) = 1
write(1, "\2", 1) = 1
read(4, 0x804dc88, 4096)= ? ERESTARTSYS (To be restarted)
=
The process then sits there at this point. I telnet in with another box and
kill the cat process to regain console access.
It would appear that the program reads one char from the device, then failes
to read anything else.
The kernel I'm running is 2.2.9, and the distribution my machine has
installed is slackware 4.0. I have upgraded the kernel from 2.2.6, and have
compiled in the ps2 mouse code.
Anyways, for all I know, cat could be the worst way to do this, but I do
find the results intresting. Advice, sympathy, suggestions, flames,
fixes(hint) are all welcome.

You can do it with Slot 1 Celerons modified to support SMP or use Socket
370 Celerons with dual-capable Slotkets (like the one from MSI). Sharky

It looks like your monitor can be a Super VGA type 8 or 9
(1024x768 @ 70, or 1280x1024 @ 60.
Your Horizontal Scan rates are 30-64,
and your Vertical is 50-100.

you have to create an empty directory on the existing disk and mount
the new disk there. The new disk then appears as this new directory.
All versions of unix work this way
You can edit these into the /etc/fstab file, so it is mounted at boot
up time.
cd /
mkdir diskb
mount -t ext2fs /dev/hdb1 /diskb
The new disk then appears as space in the /diskb directory
I think the above is right ( or nearly so )
It's all in the help pages. !

man mount
