[SuSE Linux] PCI bus IRQ conflict
by bparker＠dc.net 12 Feb '99

12 Feb '99

Hello: I am attempting to use an Adaptec AHA-2940UW SCSI host adapter and a 3Com 905B 10/100 ethernet adapter on a box with an older motherboard that refuses to assign separate IRQs to PCI expansion cards. The motherboard is a circa 1996 FIC PA-2002, rev 1.21 that I won in raffle; it came with an AMD K5-100 installed. The PCI bud is supposed to allow more than one device to use an IRQ but, still, such a condition can cause problems (on older hardware). Donald Becker wrote the 3Com driver. His webpage "Resolving Linux PCI Interrupt Conflicts" webpage at <<A HREF="http://cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov/linux/misc/irq-conflict.html"><A HREF="http://cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov/linux/misc/irq-conflict.html</A">http://cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov/linux/misc/irq-conflict.html</A</A>>> has this to say: ". . . If the card is reporting a valid IRQ, but that IRQ is being used by another device you have an interrupt conflict. The easiest and generally best solution is to put the conflicting device on another IRQ line. This can only be done through the PCI BIOS setup. Unlike ISA cards, PCI cards have no way of setting their own IRQ. That is done at boot time by the PCI BIOS, and the BIOS reports its selection. . . ." Anyone solved something like this before? I am running SuSE 5.2, kernel 2.0.33.

I am trying to use Suseppp to dial my ISP and not much is happening. I am typing /etc/suseppp/scripts/ppp-up generic and all I get is this little bit of output on the screen. +++ATZ Then after a little while I get returned to the command line. _________________________________________________ <A HREF="mailto:verdesoft@verdesoft.com">mailto:verdesoft@verdesoft.com</A> VerdeSoft Internet Services <A HREF="http://www.verdesoft.com/"><A HREF="http://www.verdesoft.com/</A">http://www.verdesoft.com/</A</A>> - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo(a)suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e Check out the SuSE-FAQ at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A">http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A</A>> and the archiv at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A">http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A</A>>

[SuSE Linux] No Carrier
by verdesoft＠verdesoft.com 12 Feb '99

12 Feb '99

I was just using Minicom to see if my modem work and I am getting this mesage. Knowing almost nothing about how modems work I was wondering what exactly this means. I think the most important thing this has done for me is told me that my modem does work, I think. I have been trying to get myself connected to my ISP for some time with no luck. Though I am trying to do it the hard way. I would like to know how to set up all the scripts by hand so I don't have to rely on some other program to do it for me. If anyone can tell me what scripts need configuring and what each one does I would really appreciate it.

[SuSE Linux] Ownership of tar archive members
by hlarons＠ComCAT.COM 12 Feb '99

12 Feb '99

I learned on this list that the '-p' option is used to retain permissions. How does one make sure that _ownership_ info is preserved as well? How does a tar archive store such info? Is it necessary to have a file, say in /etc, that tar uses that lists id numbers and ownership names?

[SuSE Linux] dhclient/SuSE 6.0
by WALKERSC＠cibc.ca 12 Feb '99

12 Feb '99

I just recently installed SuSE 6.0 and I am impressed. I was mainly impressed because it finally got my damn ADSL line working. It use DHCP for ip assignment. Now, the problem I am having is, I boot up, it grabs a ip like it should, does the routing, and bang were off to the races. In 2-3 hours it goes to renew the lease, but dies, with error it can't find a DHCP server and closes the interface. The only way I can get it to renew/reget an ip is to reboot. Sometimes can fight with it and bring it up manually. But who wants to reboot/fight with your machine every 3 hours just so I can stay on the net. Does anyone have any ideas?

[SuSE Linux] FTP site - announcements and contrib
by kar＠webline.dk 12 Feb '99

12 Feb '99

Two suggestions for SuSE: 1. Send out an announcement everytime a new package arrives at the ftp site. If too much traffic, send out one per day. 2. Make a contrib directory for others to contribute - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo(a)suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e Check out the SuSE-FAQ at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A">http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A</A>> and the archiv at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A">http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A</A>>

Re: [SuSE Linux] Story: Microsoft: We Feared Customers Would Choose Netscape

The only kernel panic i've ever seen was caused on my slackware 3.6 system while exiting lynx. Every program created most likely has bugs in it. It's is almost impossible to test code for every possible combination of events. Most similar programs have their advantages. I use lynx, netscape, and while in windoze ie4. Lynx is great when i know exactly where i'm going, but it isn't so great if i'm just surfing around for enjoyment. A similar argument can be made for a distribution of linux or yes, even a microsoft product. -----Original Message----- From: zentara <zentara(a)mindspring.com> To: suse-linux-e(a)suse.com <suse-linux-e(a)suse.com> Date: Friday, February 12, 1999 10:13 AM Subject: Re: [SuSE Linux] Story: Microsoft: We Feared Customers Would Choose Netscape > >Nils wrote: >> >> >> > zentara wrote: >> >> > I think choosing Netscape over Internet Explorer is like choosing >> > the lesser of two evils.

Re: [SuSE Linux] Sound card : SB 64 PCI
by medavid＠ix.netcom.com 12 Feb '99

I may be wrong about this, so if someone knows a better answer, I'd love to hear it. My understanding is that you'll need the 2.2 kernel to get support for the SB64/Ensoniq PCI sound card. I have one of these cards, I had read that 2.2 supports it.

[SuSE Linux] log.smb says "Unknown socket option"
by brauki＠cityweb.de 12 Feb '99

12 Feb '99

Hello, my log.smb file is filled with messages like "Unknown socket option SO_KEEPALIVE". Neither in calling smbd (/sbin/init.d/smb) nor in my config file IŽve given the parameter. Curiously more, after I tried to add socket options = TCP_NODELAY, this option was Unknown as well. After I removed it from smb.conf and restarted smbd, I found these messages again. Is there another config file? And, how can I enable these options? (so. claimed TCP_NODELAY were a good setting for Linux, I do not find it mentioned in "man getsockopt". I do however find SO_KEEPALIVE and start to be perfectly lost. Any experiences out there??
