[newbie] Red Hat rescues me

2002-11-30 Thread Alexander Rayborn
I hate to say it, but Mandrake 9.0 lost this battle. I gave up trying to recompile kernels to fix my problem - I gave Red Hat v8.0 a shot (I like Gnome anyway)... and voila, no problems with my P4B533-E motherboard. Works beautifully and runs well. Sorry Mandrake! --Alexander signature.asc

This sounds a lot like the problem I'm having with the Asus P4B533-E. I had to install Mandrake via FTP server (I copied the CDs to a share on my home network and connected to it during the install). I have also updated to the latest BIOS to no avail. --Alexander -Original Message-

[newbie] more on Asus P4B533-E

Title: Message I'm starting to think this is a bug in Intel's chipset design. Mandrake refuses to recognize the IDE controllers are located on IRQs 14/15... then it complains on every boot: PCI Resouce collisions 00:1F (I'll post a complete dmesg if anyone is interested). Alan Cox claims

Yes, I can boot into Mandrake after installing from FTP, but my CD-ROM drives still do not work. I haven't tried any manual nudging (mostly because I have no idea what to try). My drive hookup is as follows: MBFastrack33 (onboard UltraDMA 133): /dev/hda (works fine, even with UDMA mode)

[newbie] P4B533-E IDE problem: still no go

Okie, I've changed my jumpers for master/secondary numerous times today over lunch, still no go... still resource collisions. Full dmesg paste below: Linux version 2.4.19-16mdk ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) (gcc version 3.2 (Mandrake Linux 9.0 3.2-1mdk)) #1 Fri Sep 20 18:15:05 CEST 2002 BIOS-provided

RE: [newbie] hdparm?

2002-11-27 Thread Alexander Rayborn
You have to use this as root... So make sure you're root when you try to run this. Aside from that, make sure the hdparm package is installed. Mandrake 9.0 doesn't install it by default. Afterwards, the command is: Hdparm -Tt /dev/hda (or whatever your hard drive is) --Alexander

I have a similar problem, but with a P4B533-E motherboard. At the beginning of boot, I receive an error about PCI resource collisions... oddly enough, my hard drive still runs at DMA just fine (at least, according to hdparm). Most of the research I have done on this problem shows that most
