This reply from Larry Ebbit was a real useless piece of information.
The poor guy is trying to get his mouse working and all you can say
is that you got it going just fine and the wheel doesn't work, but
that's fine by you since you don't like the wheel anyway. What kind
of stupid reply is that? Why don't you at least tell the guy *how*
you got it going, and what changes you would make if you *did* want
to use the wheel. Contribute something useful rather than just saying
"Well I did it."

I see that fdisk stored the remaining 769 sectors in the nr_sects element
of the fourth partition. That's probably it. Now to figure out why it
didn't just stuff those extra sectors into the second partition I defined
(where I told it to use everything that was left).

Look again at your predecessor's post.
I'm typing this on a K6-2 system with an Epox motherboard capable of
caching 256M. There's only 96M worth of RAM in the DIMM slots, because
RAM is expensive these days. The 256M limit on caching here is because
there's a limited amount of what they call "cache tag RAM" soldered on to
the motherboard. The tag RAM tells the memory management hardware which
pieces of main RAM are stored in the L2 cache. Tag RAM has to be fast, so
it's expensive, and the hardware to make it do the right thing is a bit
complex, so it's also expensive. Hence motherboards having a limit of
128/256/512M limit on the amount they can cache.
There was a time when Pentium-class boards could only cache 32 or 64M.
Adding more than to the board would make the machine run extremely slowly,
since any info not stored in the 64M cachable area would have to be
retrieved through the ultra-slow FSB rather than the mostly-fast L2
cache. More info on this can be found somewhere on http://arstechnica.com

Actually, it isn't at all difficult and in fact _each_ drive could
have its own power supply. But the power supplies are NOT run in
parallel supplying power to the same load. He has 8 drives, and he
can easily power 4 of them from each power supply, which will have
a load of perhaps 160 watts each.

If you want to run two supplies in parallel on the same load,
that is an entirely different beast. It still isn't all that
hard to do though, but it requires a power supply with good
current limiting rather than a shutdown circuit for overload.
In other words, typical PC power supplies need not apply!

Ok, thanks for the emails from several of y'all. I've made progress,
but am not there yet. I have downloaded and installed the latest
PCMCIA drivers, and am using the tulip driver for this card. Now when
I insert the card, here's the output:

Obviously, no etho interface comes up. cardctl ident corectly
identifies the card.
And, I modified /etc/pcmcia/config so that the "Linksys Etherfast 10/100

Ideas anyone? As usual, your help is appreciated.

Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I have a PC with two hard disks: 4.5 GB SCSI and 10.1 GB IDE. What I
would like to
do is set up NT, Linux and Solaris 7 so that they could be switched with
minimum effort.
I have managed to set up NT and Linux (RedHat 5.2) on the SCSI disk and
they both
work OK - even updated the Linux kernel to 2.2.3... The problem seems to
come when
adding Solaris on the IDE disk: Linux stops at something like
"checking the partitions...
hda: "
Does this come from the partition ID codes since the Solaris
partition is marked by
id of #$82, decimal 130 the same as Linux Swap? The only way so far to
get the Linux
part up - and still have the IDE disk visible - is to change the
partition ID of the IDE
