I have an Oki4w printer, works fine on dual os (win98), is recognized by bios and by win. However there seems to be some kind of confusion between systems , bios vs windows, about beeing 03bcH or 0378 for lp0 or lp1 In bios lpt1 is 0378 In win lpt1 is 03bc IRQ = 7 It's all very confusing and I find no way of detecting whats going on in Linux besides lp waiting for device ( lp0 or lp1 )to be ready. Any suggestion welcome. Hi, Sten! I have had problems with printing after I installed a SCSI-card, but prior that it worked for me. Can you print directly to the port? Try: ls /dev/lp0 at a commandprompt and a few lines should be printed out. Have you tried lsmod command to see, if the modules for printing is loaded. parport_pc and lp should be present. You can, as root operator load the driver for the paralell port manually by the command: modprobe parport_pc Try then to install the printer and check printing. If it works then your problem is to get the parport_pc driver loaded at bootup. Check that it is correctly listed in modules.conf Sincerely Yours Roger -- Roger Lindmark OS/2 Warp 4.06 RedHat 7.1 -- From: The Linux AntiChrist [EMAIL PROTECTED] Crossposted-To: comp.sys.sgi.graphics,comp.os.linux.x Subject: Re: yes, 2 SGI 1600sw LCD panels DO work in linux in dualhead mode!

Yes, everything works fine when I plug the 750 to the Win98 box.
After connecting the DSL cable, don't you have to do a
[root@zephyr]# ifdown eth0 ; ifup eth0
or something to tell the dhcp client (pump) to register a lease for an
IP addr from the dhcp server at the other end of the DSL?

Greetings!
Just loaded Rhat 6.2 on a dual P-Pro machine. Someone told me this
system should really rock with linux on it.
I did have the flash the BIOS on the motherboard with the latest rev to
get
the
motherboard itself to see the 2nd CPU - but thats working just fine now.
After flashing the BIOS, I installed Rhat.
Linux itself seems to be running fine - but how do I know if linux is
seeing/using the 2nd CPU? More to the point, how can one actually see
what
hardware the system has detected
automatically, and is using?
It should detect and use the 2nd CPU automatically.
To check read the logs of the boot/init process.
these are found in the files:
/var/log/dmesg
/var/log/boot.log
/var/log/messages
You can view these files using the "less" command.
e.g.
[root@zephyr]# less /var/log/dmesg

Certainly the place to start would be to running isapnp tools,
enter when logged in as root: pnpdump -c /etc/isapnp.conf
Then look at ISA pnp.conf file. Reboot and your card should be
recognized by the your system. Try opening kppp and using the "Query
modem" and you should get the modem strings displayed.
Next step, if you can't get your modem to work would be to post the
pnp.conf file in the massage to this news group.
I am using an internal Diamond SupraExpress 56i Sp PC modem, and I did
end up having to change the modem to use fixed com setting using jumper
switches on the modem. Also, there is a PC diagnostics program called
windows, you can go to the control panel and find out what resources are
being used by your different cards, that can help with getting linux
set-up

Subject: eisa mylex dac960 raid driver ?
Date: 4 May 2000 06:41:39 GMT
ok, i have done a stupid thing and bought a secondhand server. this big
box is a digital prioris hx 590dp. it contains an adaptec 1542cf scsi
card and a digital branded mylex raid card. as the subject indicates,
this is an eisa card.
naturally i have blown my budget buying this computer, so i don't want to
got out spending any more money. i wish to use the raid card already in
residence.
the adaptec card drives the cd and other external cd drives. the raid
card is driving the hotswap drive bays with two channels - drives 0 - 2
on one and the remaining 3 - 6 on another channel. there is a single
2 gig drive at id 0, and a pair of 4gb drives at 1 and 3 i want to use
as a raid 0 array. or at least this is what i have set up in the cards
non-volatile ram.
unfortunately the linux mylex drivers are for pci cards. they do not
recognise the card in my computer.
does anyone know if there are some eisa drivers available that will get
this card going for me ? beta or abandonded code at this stage would
even be considered...

Interesting. What is its downside? Why is it not the default loader in
Linux?
(And what does nuni stand for? Or for that matter what does lilo stand

Correction, from AHA-2940 Hardware Q A :
Q: I cannot boot from my NT 4.0 CD-ROM although the BIOS Support for
bootable CD-ROM is enabled.
A: The option was available in the V1.23 BIOS version, but due to changes in the
standard from Microsoft, the CD would not boot.
Well, the 1.21 version for sure does not support booting off of a CDROM at
all. I do have one of these here in another machine 2 floors away :)
This was corrected in the v1.25 BIOS version.
What controls the booting from ROM? My 1996-vintage AHA-2940 (no suffix) had no
trouble booting from CD-ROM (DVD-ROM, actually)
with either BIOS v1.21 or v1.23.
But, hold on. As I was typing that little paragraph, it dawned on me that my Encore
DVD-ROM is the only IDE device in my system.
So, I'm not booting from a SCSI CD (or DVD) drive. Maybe the 2940 and its BIOS have
nothing to do with it in my case.
The CD boot problem was only with "no-disk" emulation (aka El Torito).
Only certain CD's use this type of emulation, NT4 being one of them.
2940UW bios versions 1.21 1.23 work fine with the other two CD
types (hard disk and floppy emulation) but not with El Torito. This was
fixed in bios version 1.25.
