[newbie] Device or resource busy
So I've fallen in love with Linux and, like all love affairs, it's driving me nucking futs!!! Specifically, I'm trying to configure my SpaceWalker SiS 530 M/B (Shuttle now calls it the HOT 599) with onboard video and sound controller (Yamaha YFM742 ) with PII 233 and 96MB ...finally got video working great in 24bit color but cannot get sound "card" to be recognized. Dmesg from insmod at boot says : /etc/isapnp.config:17 -- Fatal - Error occurred executing request ' ISOLATE PRESERVE' -- Further action aborted . . . /lib/module/2/2/13-7mdksmp/misc/Opl3sa2.o: init_module: Device or resource busy . . . Same for MIDI except Opl3.o:Device or resource busy BIOS reports PCI device listing as Bus # Dev # Func # Vendor ID Device ID Device Class IRQ 0120 1073000C MultiMedia 10 sndconfig tells me no PCI or ISA board found by probe...manual selection of a bunch of cards and different settings all give "Device or resource busy" error... :o(( Today I disabled the onboard controller and put in a Yamaha sound board and it worked :o)) ...but I only have one ISA slot and I need my modem there...dont't want to buy a PCI modem or sound card when I have a perfectly (?) good (?) sound "card" on board... Been wrestling with this for two weeks now...have learned a heck of a lot about Linux (tremendous progress in other areas) but can't resolve this one...yup, read all the howto's, several books, been to Yamaha website, Shuttle website, linux-newbie.org, Red Hat, and finally here... Could sure use some expert help... Thanks Tom
Re: [newbie] zip drive problem
Had the same problem but 'modprobe ppa' worked...mounted zip from console with " mount -t vfat /dev/sda4 /mnt/zipdos" (Had to create empty mount point directory zipdos in /mnt and had to have a dos formatted zip disk in the drive Iomega uses partition 4 [sda4] as default in their preformatted dos disks.)...Works fine. Then added entry to fstab. Added kdelnk to zip drive on desktop and can access the zip with a click of the mouse. Hope this helps Tom T "G.

Just tried that, here's the result: mount: the kernel does not recognize /dev/sda4 as a block device (maybe 'insmod driver'?) I read that the problem may be that the kernel is loading the drivers for the line printer first, before parport/ppa driver. How do I change the order around? Mani forstfed wrote: On Sun, 02 Apr 2000, you wrote: Well, try just doing the mount now. See if that does anything. Well, I tried that. Here's what I got after typing "insmod ppa": /lib/modules/2.2.14-15mdk/scsi/ppa.o: init_module: Device or resource busy Any ideas? I really want to get this thing resolved.

You have to umount -t msdos /dev/sda4 /mnt/zip to eject the disk, then mount -t msdos /dev/sda4 /mnt/zip again when you insert another disk. Ed Geez, You guys made me dig my old zip drive out of the closet to test this problem and you know, it didn't work either. Tried it on a RedHat 6.1 and a Mandrake 7.0-2 machine. Hardware works as I made a DOS boot disk with guest.exe on it. Worked fine with Redhat 5.2 and Slackware 3.6 some time ago with the commands listed above. I also looked at modules loaded and tried it without any modules and in init 1 hand loading modules. Since the kernel for Mandrake 7.0 came from Redhat 6.1 (Recompiled) I wonder if perhaps lp (or another parallel port using service) support was built into the kernel instead of as a mod. Question! Does anyone out there have a parallel port ZIP working on Mandrake 7.0-2 or RedHat 6.1? If so, can you please tell us how you did it? Give out with the port setting in the BIOS, Kernel you used and anything else you think might help. I am going to try recompiling a kernel to see if I can get it working.
Re: [newbie] Problems with an External Modem
Adrian: What serial port is your modem connected to? In dos they are COM1, COM2, COM3, and COM4...the Linux equivalents are: ttys0, ttys1, ttys2, and ttys3. In kppp setup, click on device, select the correct device in the drop down window...at this point, don't select /dev/modem, select the correct ttys( 0, 1,2,or 3)..now click on modem tab and query modem...it should work..

Ok, i can`t navegate on the internet, because i have a motorola 56k external, how can i make it work on madrake 6.1? when i click on "query modem" in kppp, theres just no answer from the modem,what`s the problem, how can i solve it, the works perfect on win98, what can I do!!?
