Is there a way to get linux to detect my USR internal 56k modem when the cards jumpers are set to PnP? Right now I have to set the jumpers to PnP to work with windows and set the jumpers to com2 to get it to work with Linux.

[newbie] /mnt/floppy and pppd
Hi all, Just moved from RH6.1 to Mandrake 7.0 on the weekend, hey this is much niceronly two problems that won't go away though. Any help appreciated. 1. The 'recommended' Mandrake install doesn't seem to be able to drive my floppy properly. It used to work before Mandrake. On default install it only read DOS disks, but not previously saved linux disks. /etc/fstab (for floppy)used to look something like: /mnt/floppy /mnt/floppy supermount fs=vfat,dev=/dev/fdo 0 0 (after install) causing "bash: cd: /mnt/floppy: Input/output error" but read DOS disks perfect. so I started fiddling to fix it but still no luck. Even using a highly documented: /mnt/floppy /mnt/floppy ext2 noauto,user,rw 0 0 (plus other variants)causes trying to mount it with "mount: /mnt/floppy is not a block device". What gives here? 2. Once KPPP(pppd) is active, I cannot start any other programs, hence I need to start Netscape before I dial. Existing programs still work. When I drop the modem link all starts working normally again. Apart from this, everything appears to function well. Any clues? Michael

Re: [newbie] Modem won't work anymore in Linux......
Thanks Seve. I'm actually using version 6.0 of Mandrake though. At 12:42 AM 2/15/00 -0800, you wrote: Steve, You're going to run into a slew of problems trying to get your modem to work in Mdk7.0.

PPPD gets real screwwy. I keep getting: "The remote system is required to authenticate itself but I couldn't find any secret (password) which would let it use an IP address." It would be able to handshake but not login completely. Russ Johnson - "I spent hours trying to fix this - I've reached the point that I think there's a bug in ppp-x.x.x-10.

Re: [newbie] Modem jumper settings
For all you with pnp modem problems, this is how I got my usr 56k internal ISA modem to work pnp: 1.Type "/sbin/pnpdump /etc/isapnp.conf" ##this loads info on your ISA PnP board(s) into the appropriate .conf file. 2.Type "/sbin/isapnp /etc/isapnp.conf" ##this makes your existing ISA PnP configuration active. 3. open your isapnp.conf file. You will have to remove the comment line from a couple of the resources listed, depending on how you want to set it up. Half way down the file you'll see a comment that says multiple choice time. You have to choose what IRQ and com you want to use. Com1=0x3f8, Com2=0x2f8, Com3=0x3e8, Com4=0x2e8. Here is an example of what I uncommented: # Start dependent functions: priority preferred # Fixed IO base address 0x02f8 # Number of IO addresses required: 8 (IO 0 (SIZE 8) (BASE 0x02f8)) # IRQ 3. # High true, edge sensitive interrupt (by default) (INT 0 (IRQ 3 (MODE +E))) This put me on Com2 IRQ 3. After you know what com port and irq you set it to, you can go onto the next step 3.Type "setserial /dev/ttySx port y irq z spd_vhi autoconfig" ##notation is as follows: "x" is your COMport, with 0=COM1, 1=COM2, 2=COM3, 3=COM4; "y" is the standard (or defined) address of that port, e.g. 0x3e8; "z" is the interrupt used by that port, usually 4 or 3; thus, if your modem is on COM1 with a standard address IRQ, the line would read "setserial /dev/ttyS0 port 0x3f8 irq 4 spd_vhi autoconfig" . Oh, yes:"spd_vhi" is optional, I'd advise using it with a 56k modem, mine runs faster with it, but you could leave it off without a problem. 4.Type "rm /dev/modem" ##you may get a "not found" message, which is fine; if a /dev/modem" is found, you'll be asked to confirm this removal, type "y" to proceed. 5.Type "ln -s /dev/ttySx /dev/modem" ##this establishes the linkage needed for your modem, not essential, but conventional; again, "x" here is the same as "x" in item 3 above. 6.With a text editor, open your "/rc.local" file, add the "setserial" command defined in item 3 above at the end of the file, save the file and exit the editor. ##For example, if your editor is xemacs, you'd type "xemacs /etc/rc.d/rc.local", then add the "setserial" command line. 7.Exit, logout, and reboot (not just restart Xserver). You should see a line for ISA PnP devices as you boot up. That should do it :) Thanks to Alan for help via his previous message - Original Message - From: "Ron Sinclair" [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, February 15, 2000 5:53 AM Subject: Re: [newbie] Modem jumper settings At 01:38 AM 2/15/00 -0500, you wrote: Is there a way to get linux to detect my USR internal 56k modem when the cards jumpers are set to PnP?

[newbie] Linux: 1 Me: 0
Ok, so I mentioned earlier I had problems with my SB Live! I have Mandrake 6.1 and tried to recompile the kernel to version 2.2.5 (Creative told me their beta drivers worked for only this version). Anyway, the compilation seemed like a success. Then I rebooted, and I got in, but nothing changed. It still said I had the same kernel. I replace vmlinuz with the one that I made with "make bzimage" but nothing. So then I thought I could switch the boot directory. So I did this: mv /boot /boot.old mv /tmp/linux2.2.5/boot /boot linux2.2.5 is the name of the directory where I untarred the kernel Anyway, I can't get back into Linux.

Re: [newbie] Why can't non-root user save to DOS partion?
Update: Having learned about file and directory permissions, I logged in as root and attempted to enable write permission for Group and Others for a DOS partition. Unfortuately, these changes are ignored - when I view the permissions again they are the same as before (drwxr-xr-x). If I attempt to change the ownership I receive an error indicating I can't do that. Why not - I am root?? Is there something special about mounted DOS partitions that I need to know about as far as permissions are concerned? I'm being forced to work as root because otherwise I have no ability to write to DOS partitions. There must be a way around this!? Please help.

Re: [newbie] Re: 7.0 partioning ?
What I'd love to know is what went wrong when I had Mandrake 7.0 use a 2 GB space which was unused space but physically situated within an extended Windows partition (that was the easiest way to install Corel Linux). I didn't actually resize any FAT partitions (just had DiskDrake create the needed partitions in that space) but when I tried to run Partition Magic, it refuses to start with an error "unable to identify the Windows partition". Further investigation into PM error codes apparently reveals that I have a partition table error where "the logical drive chain is incompatible" which is a highly dangerous situation. The only solution is to delete and recreate all my partitions on this drive. Now Win98 appears to run fine (except for Partition Magic) as does Linux. I'm willing to back everything up (thank goodness for Ghost) and redo the partitions but I'm worried what might happen the next time I install Mandrake Linux.
