Okay, I spent yesterday jumping through hoops, and finally got things
to fit together so that they work not too badly.
M/B: ASUS A7V/KT133
Issue: Linux Mandrake Doesn't Undertand the Promise ATA/100 on the
M/B
Here's the procedure I used:
* NOTE: This procedure ASSUMES that you attach the disk to the
primary UATA/100 device
1) Disconnect the UATA/100 Win2K disk
2) Attach the new disk to the IDE controller
{NOT the UATA 100 controller - there are 2 sets of disk
controller ports on the M/B)
3) Drop the Mandrake 7.2 CD into the CD/R drive.
4) Boot the system from CD
5) Do a bare bones install of Mandrake {don't even bother with X)
6) After the install is done, log in as root
7) Execute the following command: % cat /proc/pci
8) Somewhere in there, you will get a piece of output that has 5 hex
addresses listed. These should be the I/O range for the UATA/100
controller. In my case the first two were 0x9000 and 0x8800.
9) Record those numbers.
10) Shut down
11) Disconnect the drive from the IDE controller and hook it to the
UATA controller.
12) Reconfigure the BIOS to boot from CD first rather than HDD.
13) Boot the box up - when the first Mandrake screen comes up, press
'F1' to get into the alternate boot screen.
14) At the command prompt provided, type in 'linux
ide2=0xy,0xz' computing y and z as: high start address from
step 8, and z as the second start address + 2. On my box this turned
out to be ide2=0x9000,0x8802. 15) At this point, everything should
be happy, and you can go ahead with a full install.
16) When you get to configuring GRUB, use the same numbers you used
in step 14.
I haven't yet tried patching the kernel - that's next. But this was
enough to get moving forward.

If you have an ethernet cable running from your PC to your print server, you need to make sure it is a crossover cable. A straight-through cable won't work for that application. Also, you might have a dead cable. How have you configured IPChains? You might want to double check to make sure you are not blocking the 192.168.0.0 network for both internal and external interfaces accidentally. --Greg - Original Message - From: "Eddie Torres" [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hello again, I have 2 NIC's in my machine, both up and running. One is for an IDSL line and the second one is for an internal network to a print server. I have setup internal card with 192.168.0.1 (no gateway) with netmast of 255.255.255.0 and the print server is setup as 192.168.0.2 with gateway of 192.168.0.1 and the same netmak of 255.255.255.0. I am unable to ping the print server, I am running ipchains but it is set to allow for the internal network, any ideas?

Re: [newbie] info on building a kernel...
I've only have been able to get any Aureal Vortex card to work with kernel 2.2.18 or
higher. I heard someone got it to work with 2.2.16 but I never was able to do it.

Hi list,
Before I get started could someone please pass me the cheese to go with my
wine?
That being said, I've been working on this getting this stupid kernel
recompiled to accomodate a Turtle Beach sound card for two stinkin weeks
and the darn thing continually bombs out on one error or another. If its
not choking on imaginary bad code, then it's telling me that something
else is wrong somewhere. It doesn't seem to matter "how" I configure the
stinkin thing it always bombs out with an error.
The usual thing is a parsing error, or it says there's a '{' missing, or
there's a ')' missing, or even more bizare is the compiler error that I
got tonight. It doesn't matter if I'm trying to do a recompile of
2.2.16-9mdk, or a new config and compile of 2.2.17. The results are the
same. The compile bombs on an error. On the off chance that it does
compile without any errors and all the modules are made and installed then
the damn thing doesn't work right and there are a few things that just
don't work on the system. pppd for one and the other that really knots my
shorts is the friggin sound. The whole reason I'm torturing myself in the
first place.
So, what I really need is some in depth documentation that will cover, in
explanitory fashion, the compiler errors that gcc gives and what to do and
how to do "good" compilations of these darn kernels. As I write this I'm
preparing to torture myself some more by downloading kernel 2.4test9. I
don't know why I'm even thinking I'm going to get it to work. It'll
probably bomb like the rest of these. Frankly I don't know how others are
getting them to compile and work!
thanks for letting me rant. I'm done now.

Re: [newbie] Opera Beta
Well, there's Galeon, gnome browser which needs GTK and Mozilla M17+ to run. The only other option I can see if waiting for KDE2 and give Konqueror a try. I am pretty sure that Opera will be a pay for program. -- On Sat, 14 Oct 2000 09:02:27 Larry Marshall wrote: I understand that Opera has released the beta of version 4.0.

Re: [newbie] Opera Beta
It is the first beta and it crashes pretty good. I'll wait for a second or third beta to try it again.

Re: [newbie] internet with cable?
Marcia L Waller wrote: Dear Anyone, I am very confused. It looks like I have my SMC EZ ethernet card setup maybe but nothing happening yet. I checked one of the log files and it said device or resource busy. I have checked about every file I could such as proc/interrupts, conference modules,etc. I do not know if things look right or not because I do not understand that much of it. Is there anyway to print out these files? I did netcfg, linuxconf, edited files, etc. My sound card looks set up but again I get a message that device or resource is busy. My sound card did the same thing a couple of installs ago:) then all of a sudden started to work on its own when I was in XFce and turned on the CD player. I have no idea why it started working then. It is not doing anything in KDE right now. My SMC EZethernet card is an ISA and a SMC1660T. From my research that uses the rtl8019 driver which is supposedly a clone of NE2000. I used that driver since the rtl8019 is not listed in my Linux-Mandrake 7. I know a couple of you said you have the same card that I have and got it working eventually. It was working well in my Windows 95 before it crashed so I know the card works. I have not used ISApnp yet.I read alot about it but I do not understand how to use it. I looked into the Bios but I can't figure out how to disable the card there for plug and play. If anyone is willing to help I would greatly appreciate it. I already posted all of my card and driver information that I got from Windows in a previous email. I will send it again if I must.Maybe I chose the wrong driver or maybe it is a conflict problem but I cannot figure it out from the information I have. I am sure some of you could. I am so inexperienced with this, I guess. I have been paying for cable for a couple of months now and I cannot use it. I have spent too many days and hours on this. I am just about ready to reformat my harddrives and just put Windows 95 back on so that I can use the cable. That is an absolute last resort. I was hoping to be a Linux user.
