Hi,
I am prety much a newbie when it comes to this.
I have just recently installed mandrake 7.2 and now am unable to mount my CD
burner. I have read through a lot of the posts to this newsgroup but am
still unsure of what I need to do.
If I try and mount it manually I get the following error
[root@localhost /dev]# mount /dev/scd0 -t iso9660 /mnt/burner
mount: the kernel does not recognize /dev/scd0 as a block device
(maybe `insmod driver'?)
MDK 7.1 located and set it up during installation and even put a shortcut
to it on my desktop (7.2 didn't do this for any of my devices, which was
a bit od a dissappointment) So I reinstalled 7.1 again on its own
partition and once again it was installed.
Had a look in hardrake (in 7.1) and it had the following information about it
under CDRoms
vendor: Unknown
device: /dev/scd0
bus type: scsi
It doesn even show up in hardrake in 7.2
While in 7.1 I had a look at the fstab file to see how it was mounted and
there was the following line
/mnt/cdrom2 /mnt/cdrom2 supermount fs=iso9660,dev=/dev/cdrom2 0 0
When I looked in /dev cdrom2 is a link to scd0 (Why is this necessary why
just not mount scd0??)
some more information just in case
scsi card: symbios 8100s pci scsi adapter; 53c810 device
CD-Rom: Matsushita CW-7502
running Mandrake 7.2 on a PIII 450 with 128Meg RAM
Any ideas how I might get this device working under 7.2
Many thanks

Hey, it works!
I forced trough bios the irq 10 for pci slot #3(the one
my sblive is) and now is running properly.
Thanks!
"Lee Webb" [EMAIL PROTECTED] dijo en el
articulo 906k3c$m1r$[EMAIL PROTECTED]:
I've also got the A7V with an SB Live! 1024. Running Mandrake 7.2
To find out the IRQ that it's using:
$ cat /proc/pci
snip
Bus 0, device 11, function 0:
Multimedia audio controller: Unknown vendor Unknown device (rev 7).
Vendor id=1102. Device id=2. Medium devsel. Fast back-to-back
capable. IRQ 10. Master Capable.
Latency=32. Min Gnt=2.Max Lat=20.
I/O at 0xa400 [0xa401].
So mine's runnning on IRQ 10
Something you may want to try:
Goto into your BIOS - Advanced - PCI PCI/PNP IRQ Exclusion - IRQ 5
For Legacy = YES
Hope this helps. Lee. leewebb living at btinternet that's a com

Does Linux automatically recognize multiple CPUs on bootup? We will be
initially installing it on a single CPU system, but more CPUs are on
order. If we install the new CPUs, will we have to re-install Linux to
take advantage of them? How many CPUs can Linux currently utilize? We
will most likely be using Redhat.

Just make sure you configure the kernel with SMP support.

ESS audio chips SoundBlaster compatible?
All of ESS' current line of audio chips (part numbers ES688 and above) are
compatible with SoundBlaster and SoundBlaster Pro.
MAESTRO-2 CHIP ES1968s
io-240
irq-5
dma-1
mpu401 io-320h

ALSO IRQ IS USED BY STB VIDEO CARD

As a part time system builder, I have had nothing but grief with ess
chipset sound cards. Cheap nasty and unreliable. In fact, seeing as 50%
of the time you can't get them to work in Windows, I wouldn't hold out
much hope. I gave up using ess cards about 2 years ago, so I'm not sure
whether yours will work in linux, you could try OSS, but I'd recommend
you bin it.

There are quite many - the best (mightiest) one I know is mc.
For an overview see http://www.linuxberg.com/conhtml/fil_managers.html
If X11 applications are OK, too, you should also have a look at

Hi foks !
I'm having some problem 'starting' my isdncard.
when doing a `isapnp /etc/isapnp.conf ` I get the message
--Fatal - resource conflict allocating 4 bytes of IO at 3f8
I'm sure that this IO is free, I disabled a com port (serial port) in cmos
at this address.
Last line of `cat /proc/ioports `

When doing a `modeprobe hisax ... ` it reports that `device or resource

What about dd?

Anybody has a hint on this?

Funny, I've got the same problem myself... Hints, anyone?
Add -p to halt command inside /etc/rc.d/init.d/halt.
The line command="halt" should be changed to command="halt -p"

I have a Dell OptiPlex GXa with Linux kernel 2.0.36.
Sometimes, when I start to type a command, a backquote (`) is inserted
before the first character on the line. This happens with perhaps one
command in 30.
I know that some Dell PCs of this series had minor keyboard problems,
but of course Dell doesn't have a patch for Linux. Is anyone else
experiencing this kind of problem ?

Another way that it is a Winmodem (as far as linux is concerned) is that it
is a PCI modem. I have heard it said that pci modems will never work in
linux. This is probably because the manufacturer would have to release the
specs or release a linux driver themselves.
This might be true of Winmodems (although I'm sure that someone,
somewhere is beavering away at reverse engineering some of those), but
the fact that it's a PCI card surely won't stop a regular modem working
under Linux. Incidentally, there are a number of ISA Winmodems as
well...

it to work if I select 640 x 480 std VGA. I'd love to set it up for my
