[newbie] Numbers, Numbers and more Numbers
Hello Friends, When I shutdown my system I get lots of numbers scrolling on my screen. It does not stop also. I have not observed this problem on any other machines. All my friends get the message Power Down but I don't. But as such I don't have any problem with the working of Linux. Just want to know the reason for this and is there any way I can prevent it. I had the same problem when I was using RHL. One day the numbers stopped scrolling and it gave a message saying "Unable to fulfill kernels paging request". Thanks in advance Suresh _ Do You Yahoo!?

[newbie] OPTi sound card problem
Hello friends, PLEASE DON'T MIND IF THE MAIL IS TOO LONG. PLEASE HELP ME TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM My OPTi sound card is not properly supported on Mandrake. Every time I boot I have to run sndconfig to configure the card. While the configuration is being done the first sound sample where Linux prounces Linux is not also completly heard. I can just hear HELLO and nothing else. After it configures when I take a look at the /etc/modules.conf it would have taken wrong values for dma16 and also for mpu_irq but still I can get the sound. Sometimes the configuration fails and prompts for manual configuration. In manual configuraton even though I give correct values for the parameters it fails to configure the card. And if the configuration is done successfully and if I reboot the machine it gives an error during "Loding sound module" saying that mad16.o.gz cannot be loaded and the reson for that may be incorrect values of irq or dma. If I see the message that the kernel has generated using dmesg it says irq=5 not found which is detected by sndconfig. I had this problem of unsuccessful loading of module even in Mandrake 7.2 but eventhough it did not load the module I was getting the sound. Going through harddrake also did not help but insted the machine got hung. Please help me Thanks in advance Suresh.R _ Do You Yahoo!? Get your free @yahoo.com address at http://mail.yahoo.com
