Hello.
Apologies if this is a really basic question. I have compiled a new
kernel in order to include the drivers of my new CD writer.
Unfortunately, when I run lilo to build up the system I get the message
"kernel too big". It occurs when I use zImage to compile the kernel and
also when I use bzImage. Could you help me to solve this problem?
You need to move most things out into modules.

I got an external modem from a friend but the power adapter didn't come
with it and he doesn't know what voltage the AC adapter ran at. Does
anybody know what voltage level it runs at? I have taken the thing
apart but to no avail. When I run it w/ an adapter I have it will turn
the lights on @ 9 volts but it won't be recognized under Linux or
windoze. I am currently picking through the 3com website but to no
avail. I want to know what is the voltage so I can decide if it's the
modem or my inept computing that's wrong?

Hi,
I have a Zoom PCI 56K V.90 recognized in Windows 2000 Advanced Server as a
Lucent Win Modem. I was trying to install it in RH Linux. Following the
guidelines from this forum, i went thru some steps but couldn't let it go.
I thought i had some problems with the kernel version. Mine is 2.2.16
Should i change the kernel?
One more thing, i was upset about the internal Lucent, so i bought a US
Robotics one, external of course. It was detected by Linux upon boot-up,
then i went to KPPP to query, created a connection, dialed, and got
connected. But then, nothing happens. I

I, too, got my FA311 to work! What I was doing wrong: Starting Linux from Win98
using loadlin. I was doing this because I couldn't get the boot menu I setup in
config.sys to work. I solved the menu problem with help from the newsgroup by
putting the loadlin command in the autoexec.bat instead of the config.sys file.
Rebooted, selected Linux on the boot menu, and viola! Linux came up and the
FA311 configured and has worked fine since. My guess: Win98 configures the card
for itself and doesn't unconfigure it when I run loadlin.

I kept at it and I did get my FA311 to work!
I formatted my Linux partition and reinstalled Caldera Desktop 2.4.
Downloaded and compiled natsemi and pci-scan.
Moved files to net directory and added them to my modules.default file.
Rebooted Linux and used COAS to set ip addresses.
Seems to work fine although I have to set ip addresses via COAS each time I
boot the machine. (Don't know how to fix this yet - Newbie issues).
NOTE: I did not add the 'Alias' line as instructed.
I can ftp, and ping fine...still working to perfect samba though.
So there is hope! Don't toss that card!

I am also having problems with the fa311. I am running SuSE 6.4. I
downloaded and built the natsemi.c driver along with the pci-scan
driver. I moved the driver into /lib/modules/2.2.14/net and tested the
driver using insmod. Everything loaded and seemed to be fine I added
the 'alias eth0 natsemi' line to the /etc/modules.conf file and
rebooted. When the network tried to come up I got the following error
twice:
SIOCSIFFLAGS: resource temporarily unavailable
lsmod shows that natsemi is loaded and ifconfig shows that eth0 is
configured, but it does have a hardware address (mac) of 00.
Any ideas?

Don't forget that you will also need 'pci-scan' support.

look at the linux hardware compatiblity list for the latest
compatiblity. I have NE2000 cards which are PCI cards that cost $12 a
piece and have both RJ45 and BNC plugs and I just recently got a hub
that supports both connectors also, and has 8 ports for only $25. The
hub doesn't have a driver (none do) so it works in any environment; only
the cards will matter. Mine use the ne2k-pci driver builtinto the
kernel. Work fine. Plan on adding more comps when i get cable modem
access and i will be wiring whole house hopefully.

I think you'll have no problems, since I have your same setup (USR 56K Voice

having to look for any specific driver.

tell us all what program is really doing the burning. x-CD-Roast is only

Is it possible to use a regular modem as a NULL-modem.
I have a couple of 486s I want to network together, they
both appear to be hayes compatible modems.
Modems are used to make a serial connection of computers over a
phone-line and will need a phone-line.
NULL-modems are a serial cable connected between two computers without
any modem or phone-line involved.
The only difference to the computer is that the modem setup will require
some extra paramters sent to the modems to make one of them dial the
correct number and make the other one answer the call. From when the
modems have connected they will behave just like a NULL-modem except
that it will be possible to hang up the connection.
If your computers are close to each other, skip the modems and use only
the serial ports and a null modem cable. It is easier and cheaper than
to fake a phone line.

So, the only printer I can find near that price with hardware PostScript
support is the Brother HL-1070 at £323 (not so much of a crisis).
(1) You don't really need a PostScript printer. All you need is
a printer which supports some well known command language, like
PCL 3 or better. A decent distribution, like RedHat, will (without
any effort on your part) do all the translation necessay to print
PS on those printers.
(2) I own a Brother HL-1050 with PCL 5, 600 DPI, full HP LJ 6
compatibility and no PostScript. No complaints so far.
