yesterday I posted my problems with Linux and the gigabyte option of the
|
|
Adaptec 1542C. Thank you for all the mails I received so far. Their summary
|
|
is however that I should turn off the option to work with Linux. But by
|
|
doing so, I am forced to use the standard and slow INT13 driver with OS/2,
|
|
because the OS/2 Adaptec driver crashes without the gigabyte option (I do
|
|
not know wether this works better with 2.1, I haven't received it from IBM
|
|
so far).
|
|
|
|
But I haven't given up hope completely. Yesterday evening, I took a look
|
|
into the driver source and found this (it is from the 1740 driver, but
|
|
it is essentially the same) :
|
|
|
|
|
|
int aha1740_biosparam(int size, int dev, int* ip)
|
|
{
|
|
DEB(printk("aha1740_biosparam\n"));
|
|
ip[0] = 64;
|
|
ip[1] = 32;
|
|
ip[2] = size >> 11;
|
|
/* if (ip[2] >= 1024) ip[2] = 1024; */
|
|
return 0;
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
The translation parameters are hard-coded into the driver!!!
|
|
So my question to the linux hackers around the world is: Would it help to
|
|
change the source to something like this:
|
|
|
|
int aha1740_biosparam(int size, int dev, int* ip)
|
|
{
|
|
DEB(printk("aha1740_biosparam\n"));
|
|
ip[0] = 64;
|
|
#ifdef GIGA
|
|
ip[1] = 255;
|
|
#else
|
|
ip[1] = 32;
|
|
#endif
|
|
ip[2] = size / (ip[0]*ip[1]);
|
|
/* if (ip[2] >= 1024) ip[2] = 1024; */
|
|
return 0;
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
and compile the kernel with the GIGA flag set ?
|
|
I will try this at weekend and report my success next week. Any comments and
|
|
replies in the meantime are also appreciated.

I recently switched from 386bsd to linux, and happened to find some
|
|
benchmarks I had archived from when the same machine was running
|
|
386bsd, and thought I'd run them again under linux. i'm not going
|
|
to state which system i like better, because frankly i like them
|
|
both, and also both have their loveable quirks, too :)
|
|
|
|
anyway, since there seemed to be *SO* much 'authoritative information'
|
|
going around about both systems (usually from people who have tried
|
|
one but not the other) i thought I'd offer up the output in the
|
|
effort to produce some actual 'data' to consider.
|
|
|
|
These are two different dhrystone benchmarks, and a dhampstone
|
|
benchmark which I compiled both under gcc (without optimization) on
|
|
each system. To be fair, I can't remember which gcc I was running on
|
|
the 386bsd system, the one on linux is 2.4.5. The version of bsd I
|
|
had was 0.1, of course, with a few patches. Linux here is SLS
|
|
0.99.12/1.03. My box is a 386-33 Micronics with 8MB ram and 64K
|
|
cache, no wait states, and a co-processor (for what it's worth).
|
|
Also, for what it's worth, each compile had different problems which I
|
|
pragmatically hacked, having to do with conflicts with the libraries
|
|
on previous declarations. i can explain each of these if anyone wanted
|
|
to get into it..
|
|
|
|
anyway, here they are. Roughly, the linux system seemed to produce
|
|
about 3-4,000 dhrystones more than the 386bsd system. i would be
|
|
interested in theories on why this might be the case, and also to know
|
|
if someone has done a more careful port and measurement than i, and
|
|
also if disk speed or tcp/ip access can be measured, either.

If you have not already read it, you may want to get the documentation
|
|
for LILO. It goes into a lot of the detail on how to set up different
|
|
partitioning/boot schemes.
|
|
|
|
The scheme that I use, which is flexable and quite safe is as follows:
|
|
1) Select a drive that will be the boot drive
|
|
2) Have at least two partions, one for the linux root and one for
|
|
the other operating system.
|
|
3) Leave the standard MBR on the hard disk.
|
|
4) Make the partition for the other operating system (DOS) the
|
|
active partition.
|
|
5) Install DOS in its partition.
|
|
: Note this will be the condition you are in if you just create a second
|
|
: partition and reinstall DOS where it use to be.
|
|
6) Verify DOS works as desired.
|
|
7) Make the Linux boot partition the active partition.
|
|
8) Install Linux.
|
|
9) Configure LILO to boot either Linux from its partion or Dos from its
|
|
partition.
|
|
10) If any problems occur, you can always switch the active partition back
|
|
to the Dos partition and use Dos like normal.
|
|
|
|
Notes:
|
|
1) Use fdisk (either from Dos or Linux) to change the active partition.
|
|
2) Make sure to back up everything, even if you know you are not going
|
|
to be affecting it. One mistake with fdisk and *crunch*.
|

30% is a large enough difference that it might be caused by incorrect
|
|
definition of the clock tick rate (depending on how the program measures
|
|
time). A pure CPU benchmark shouldn't change that much (unless the
|

cache is disabled when running Linux?).

The products are IslandDraw, IslandWrite, and IslandPaint. Anyone familiar
|
|
with Sun machines is probably aware of them (dunno about other workstations,
|
|
but it seems awfully unlikely for IslandGraphics to be ignoring HP...). I
|

don't know if they have an SCO port or not (and, quite frankly, don't care).
|
|
|

If you aren't familiar with them, go pick on your nearest RISC workstation

admin. He's probably being driven to distraction by their advertizing :-)
|

and will be only to happy to unload it onto you if you ask...

Hiya,
|
|
|
|
Call me the village idiot, but what does that man page talking about
|
|
lilo really mean when it shows a cnfiguration where you can boot dos from the
|
|
unix partition. Does this mean that when I make the linuyx partition active
|
|
and go into the lilo there is a way to make dos start up instead?
|
|
That would be nice instead of the boot disk thing. If you can help me, please
|
|
elaborate in any way possible.
|
|
I did once try a multiple partition booter from dos, but it made me
|
|
have to completely reformat my drive 3 times before it worked right again
|
|
once to remove the old system
|
|
and then one time for each partition. I twas a mess.
|

oh well,

There is a port of BinkleyTerm that works reasonably well. There is the

rfmail package which implements a mail/news tosser/packer. There are also
|

several other packages (nixmail for an EMSI mailer, ifmail for

Hmm, you're Fidonet, Zone 3 - I'm not sure where you can find the software

out there... Check your local Linux repository, they may be there...

Well, greetings one and all! I finally have Linux installed on the machine
|
|
that I convinced the Computer Science department to buy! :)
|
|
|
|
Now for a relatively easy question, even though I can't seem to locate the
|
|
answer through the man pages or elsewhere.
|
|
|
|
I would like to setup the system so that users have a quota of, say, 3Megs of
|
|
disk space each. I've found the "quotaon" command, which refers to the
|
|
files quota.user and quota.groups, which need to be located in the /
|
|
directory.
|
|
|
|
Well, it never says what's supposed to be in those files and in what format.
|
|
I've tried placing a value, such as 3000000 in the file, executing quotaon
|
|
and waiting, but to no avail.
|
|
|
|
Where am I misfiring?
|

Thanks,

I am trying to get my printer to work with the Slackware version of Linux.

At this point in time, I've read the HOW-TO on printing, but it doesn't really

this:

lp|mine:lp=/dev/lp2:sd=/usr/spool/lp2:sh:mx#0:

it still doesn't work. If I spool, I get an error, saying my printer is out
|
|
of paper. I do know that on boot-up, Linux is trying to connect because it
|
|
gives me a message saying it's connecting to the printer daemon. Yet, nothing
|
|
happens when I try to print.
|
|
|
|
My printer is a Tandy DMP-202, which is fully compatable with an IBM ProPrinter
|
|
X24. If anyone has any suggestions, I would appreciate it. I've read every-
|
|
thing I could imagine possible. I really need this to work, since I'm doing
|
|
my computer science projects with GCC and need a way to print things out.
|
|
|
|
Thanks for any help,
|

PC UNIX SIG Wednesday, Oct 6, 7pm

|
|
Unix on CD-ROM
|
|
--------------
|
|
|
|
The worst part about switching to Unix on your PC has always been that
|
|
you have to back up your hard disk, repartition it, and then load in
|
|
several (dozen) floppies. Fortunately, this is no longer necessary,
|
|
because you can now run a Unix clone right off a CD-ROM, just using a
|
|
floppy. And, since this is freely redistributable software, it tends
|
|
to be both up-to-date and reasonably priced.
|
|
|
|
The October meeting of the PC UNIX SIG will focus on freeware CD-ROMs
|
|
related to UNIX. Three companies will show us their products. Two
|
|
of the companies, Yggdrasil Computing and Trans-Ameritech, have Linux
|
|
systems that run directly off a CD-ROM. The third company, Prime Time
|
|
Freeware, has a large (3.5 GB) collection of UNIX-related freeware and
|
|
a plug-and-play SDK for use with Intel-based SVR4.2 (e.g., UnixWare).
|
|
|
|
All three companies will be available to answer questions from the
|
|
audience. If time allows, Rich Morin (Prime Time Freeware) will give
|
|
a short talk on what is involved in producing CD-ROMs.
