This is a message from the aha152x driver indicated a failed autoprobe. Unless
|

you have one of these or need this driver (using a LILO override, say), it is
|

safe to ignore until you get around to recompiling your kernel.
|

|
||||
Relevant code chunk:
|
||||
|
||||
#if !defined(PORTBASE)
|
||||
printk("porttest: ");
|
||||
for( i=0; i<PORT_COUNT && !aha152x_porttest(ports[i]); i++)

Hi,
|
||||
I'm sorry to bother the readers of this group again... (As a feed-
|
||||
back in respect to my question about xview/openwin I can tell you
|
||||
that I got the sources now and will try to build it myself, but
|
||||
textedit is still missing...).
|
||||
|
||||
Since some releases back of zsh it dumps core when invoked by xterm.
|
||||
It works flawlessly with rxvt, however. I cannot remember the exact
|
||||
version, but some time back, when 2.5 was in beta it still worked
|
||||
with xterm.
|
||||
|
||||
Further debugging was unsuccessful, even if built with -g, examining
|
||||
the core with gdb and doing a backtrace only yielded "_entry" as the
|
||||
first frame and "_end" as the second!!??
|
||||
|
||||
Anybody with more insight?

I installed Slackware distribution of Linux on a HP Vectra 486/66 XM before.
|
||||
The XM model has built-in ethernet which uses the AMD chipset. I was unable
|
||||
to get eth0 to work, so I disabled the built-in ethernet and installed a
|
||||
NE2000. The machine has a S3 928 chipset with a BrookTree RAMDAC, X worked

with S3 server in 640x480 and 800x600

Um, I'm at 1.1.45 and it works fine for me. I did have to get 1.13b and

The driver that comes with older (pre 1.1.4x) kernels assumes that jumper
|
||||
to be turned off. It switched around 1.1.46 and broke my setup (I had the
|
||||
jump off), and I have the same symptom as yours. Solution: either change
|
||||
the source and recompile your kernel, or get the newer (after 1.1.46
|
||||
should be okay) kernel and use that.
|
||||
|
||||
Maybe the 1.0.x kernels (with adaptec 154x drivers) would work, no?

Not if you can get a scsi boot disk via FTP, otherwise wes as you'll
|

need to read the SCSI cd to build the boot floppy.
|

After that you need nothing but the card.

Hello all,
|
||||
|
||||
I missed a posting about a maths package called MuPAD.
|
||||
Could someone tell me where to ftp this from?
|
||||
What about licensing ?
|
||||
|
||||
Please reply via personal email.
|
||||
|

Thanks in advance,

I am having a 82MB partition for my linux, but now I got more space
|
||||
available. How can I add these free space to my old partition?
|
||||
As I when decompress the files of X-win, they copy to the directories
|
||||
like /usr in my old partition and the old filesystem is almost full
|
||||
already.. How can I fix this problem?? In order to use the new
|
||||
space??
|
||||
|
||||
Thanks for concern..

|

I have two problems:
|
||||
|
||||
On my Slackware 2.0.1, the system boots with error message telling
|
||||
me that file "utmp" cannot be found and I checked with /etc and it is there.
|
||||
As a result, whenever I do a "who" I get nothing.
|
||||
|
||||
I cannot run any program which calls SVGALIB as a normal user because
|
||||
of the lack of I/O permission. I guess there may be something wrong
|
||||
with the permission setting with the tty's, but I failed to find any.
|
||||
|
||||
Can somebody please help me? Thanks in advance.

SCSI is faster, more flexible, allows more types of devices (just about
|
||||
anything), does not slow down the CPU, works infinately better with
|
||||
multitasking, has devices which really cost very little more than other
|
||||
types, allows connection of up to seven devices per controller, is more
|
||||
standardized, is universally accepted, ensures you will keep your
|
||||
investment in SCSI devices, is much more portable, etc....
