Just a "me to".

However, I can add that the Mandrake 8.0 distro fares better by
installing the FBDEv X server. Unfortunately, although this server
drives the card, it seems to do it very slowly.

If any response is privately posted to Ross, I would appreciate a
copy. 

Thank you,

Short answer: in a newer kernel :)  The module is actually part of the
kernel, not "driver"-like code.

What distribution (and version) of Linux are you using?  Perhaps
upgrading to the kernel which comes with a newer version would be a good idea.

Take a look at these, there are a couple Wearnes CDRW drives listed and 
from experience most newer models by a company with working older
models work.

Subject: Optimization on K7
Date: Mon, 22 May 2000 08:30:33 +

Hi !

I have a Linux box running on an Athlon (K7) processor.
It works fine but I would like to do some (speed) optimization.

I would like to know what is the best option for the Athlon with latest
release of gcc ?

I have tried

"-09  -funroll-loops -mcpu=pentiumpro -march=pentiumpro
-fomit-frame-pointer"

as options for the gcc compiler,
The  performance increase has been incredible  on some scientific
computations code (3 times faster (!!!)
for the modulef code, written in fortran, and 2 times faster on a simple
code written in C)

But as I know pentiumpro is not k7, I 'm looking for further
optimization.

First thing is can you get both NICs up manually (try "insmod lance"
and then check with "ifconfig -a" to see if eth1 is now configured)

Then (and this happened with me with SuSE 6.2 - which luckily has some
help on this in the manual) once you've checked the 2 cards are
functioning correctly add an append line to the /etc/lilo.conf file.
The syntax is approximately (it was some time ago ;-)

append="irq=11,io=0x300,eth0 irq=5,io=0x340,eth1"

Of course you caould always interuppt the boot process and type this in
manually.

A good howto/chapter on lilo will be very useful.

Good luck!

Kernel build creates heavy load on CPU but very slight load on I/O. And
parallel compile is a good practice for SMP machines. For parallel I/O
benchmark, parallel fsck might be an idea.

This is a topic where I think different than common wisdom. All is
AFAIK.

Disk performance can be subdivided to :
1. Disks physical parameters (avg. access time, rpm, data transfer rate
from surface, data transfer rate from buffer..)
2. Interface physical properties (data transfer rate, disk population)
3. Interface protocol properties (most importantly async operation i.e.
disconnect/reconnect)

Let's see:

1. Newer UDMA disks have more or less the same (sometimes better)
performance parameters with *average* scsi disks. If you compare 7200 or
1 rpm scsi disks with UDMA, scsi still wins.

2. UDMA66 is not mature enough so I forget it. UDMA33 is between
FW-SCSI-2 (20MB/s) and UFW-SCSI-2 (40MB/s) just for 2 disks. So, if you
compare bandwith-per-disk, IDE has better bandwith.. seemingly.

3. Here is where it flops. In scsi, the controller sends a scsi command
to disk and then disconnects from that disk. While the first disk busy
performing a request (e.g. a seek which can take many milliseconds),
another disk can reconnect from a previously given command, and starts
data transfer to controller. Visualize this for many disks on a single
scsi bus: The bus is only used for actual byte transfers (command,
status, or data), which results in a very effective utilization of scsi
bus.
By contrast, IDE protocol can't work asynchronously: When a seek command
sent from controller to disk, the bus is locked (for 10ms!) until drive
gives back good/bad status. So, even if you use 2 disks per controller,
it works serially. In scsi it works in parallel. This is why seemingly
better bandwith of UDMA won't help it.

In short if you use one master disk per IDE controller, performance is
-perhaps- better than avg. SCSI. The slave ports can also be used for
off-line-nature devices (like CD and tape), or you can put there seldom
accessed large disks with junk data. Or leave them unused.

And a little economics:
  i. There are shared-irq (AFAIK) dual controller UDMA33 cards.
 ii. Overriding the default of 4 controllers per machine it is possible
to install 8 con

Sounds like a problem I had with one of my 300A's on my Asus P2BD when I
overclocked them to 450MHz.
It'd reboot without warning. Worked fine in Windows or at 375Mhz. After I
upped the core voltage from the default 2.0 volts to 2.2 volts on the problem
CPU.  The crashes ceased and it hasn't spontaneously rebooted since problems
since (a month ago).
