Subject: Promise FastTrack100 with Suse7 or RH
Date: Thu, 26 Oct 2000 15:39:49 +0200
Hallo,
Please an information: I have a SMP box (supermicro Mboard), 512 MBram, an
existing Adaptec Uscsi with an 9Gb disk and Suse 7.0 installed. The system
goes fine. I bought an Promise FastTrack 100 and a couple of IBM 307030 DTLA
30Gb ATA100 drives (blank). I want to use the pair in mirroring (raid1) mode
to test the raid ide solution. I recompiled the 2.2.16smp kernel and I see
the controller correctly during the kernel boot: pdc20267 etcetera ... and
also i see it in the scsi generic section (scsi0: scsi emulation for atapi
drives; scsi1: my adaptec).
But i see the message, at the end of the pdc20267 negotiation, that "neither
ide drives found (BIOS)"
The FastTrack Bios see the drives, i set up the array and checked it.
How can I have access to the array from linux? Any idea?
Thank in advance, Oreste V.

No it's the XF86Config file (*nix is case sensitive)
And it depends a bit on your distribution where it's located, most
likely /etc/X11R6 or /etc
You can use `locate XF86Config` to find where it is.
(You may need to run `updatedb` first (as root))

You should try to put "IMPS/2" instead of "PS/2" in your XF86Config file.
If you want to use the wheel take a look at "imwheel". I don't have an url
for it, but you shouldn't have trouble to find it. There is good
documentation with it and it is relatively easy to install.
good luck,
Pierre.

Subject: can't mount LS-120
Date: Thu, 26 Oct 2000 10:37:20 -0400
I'm trying to mount an LS-120 disk without luck. According to lsmod, I
have ide-floppy module support. I've adjusted /etc/fstab to include a
line "/dev/hdd /mnt/ls120 vfat rw,user,noauto 0 0" and created a
/mnt/ls120 directory. I've added a link in /dev to link ls120 to hdd
(similar to a link I found linking cdrom to hdc).
Unfortunately, every time I issue a "mount /mnt/ls120" command, I get
"mount: /dev/hdd: can't read superblock". In fact, the mount doesn't
even try to access the drive (the light doesn't go on). I've tried it
with several disks (ls120 and normal floppies) and even with no disk in
the drive. The result is always the same.
This used to work - a long time ago I had it running with Caldera v2.3.
I just replaced my 2.3 installation with the newer eServer 2.3 (fresh
install) and now I can't get it to work again.

Subject: RAID 1 ??
Date: Thu, 26 Oct 2000 22:39:59 +0800
Hi All,
I'm trying to config a PC with 3 SCSI disks, 1 is 9.1GB , and the remain
is 18.2GB each. I would like to create a RAID 1 (mirror) for the 2 18.2GB
disks
so, I grabbed the 2.4.0-test9 kernel for testing. But during the lilo boot
process, I saw alot of "Oct 26 22:23:48 cheetah kernel: (checking disk #)" ,
what does this mean ?
Oct 26 22:23:48 cheetah kernel: raid1: device sdc1 operational as mirror 1
Oct 26 22:23:48 cheetah kernel: raid1: device sdb1 operational as mirror 0
I have configurated it with RAID 1 only, why it show sdb1 operational as
mirror 0 ??
Rgds,

Anybody connected a CompactFlash or ATA Flash Card up to an 8051? Any
basic info available on the ATA registers and how to write/read the
card? I know I can probably get the info from the PCMCIA org but I
refuse to pay megabucks for the spec!
You can find the CompactFlash spec at http://www.compactflash.org ,
free download. Use ATA mode for simplicity.
A draft version of the ATA spec can also be found online.

Hi,
I have encountered a bit weird problem lately. Running a server (Pentium, 2.0.35)
with 3 AVM-Fritz-ISA-Cards stuck inside for incoming calls on 1TR6 and DSS1,
the server _sometimes_ cuts every connection and seems to hang - you won't connect to
it
via ISDN until reboot mostly, but ocasionally it's getting back to work smoothly..
