Hello all !

I am trying to getr my Syquest 5110 (88MB) running under 0.98p5 with a
Seagate ST01/ST02 SCSI-Controller. I got the newerst (?) SCSI-Drivers from
my FTP-Side (TU-Muenchen), but It doesn't work. 

What I did:
- Rebuilding the Kernel with new Driverst fscsi-a7 (including Patches)
- Configuring my Controller on IRQ 5 
- Shortening the 0 WS Jumper

What I get:
Linux is correctly recognizing the Controller and is able to read the
partition tabel of my Syquest. I tried to fdisk the Syquest under Linux,
what also seemed to work. But every trial to use mkfs either resulted in
rebooting, or i got the message: "done_fn() not defined", followed by "scsi
host3 timed out" twice and the mkfs went into noninteruptable sleep.

Does anyone have solved this Problem ?

	Greetings. My setup: 486D/25, 16MB/10MB swap, ET4000, SLS 98.5-49,

I've been using SLS and Linux for about a week now and am really enjoying
having a UNIX box on my desk.  However, in a recent attempt to get the
networking aspects of the  system working (I have an NE1000 card), I needed
to upgrade the 0.98pl5 kernel which came with SLS to the 0.98pl6 kernel.
When I did that, everything which was supposed to use kmem suddenly stopped
working.  Now uptime reports zero load level at all times and ps doesn't
report anything but the column headers.  Is there some trick here, do I need
to upgrade again to 0.99, or is it something simple I've overlooked.

I got the FAQ's the install docs and the .98 boot and root.

When the Boot disk loads up it gives me the EGAc in the corner

of the screen (at least 5 lines I would guess) I can't seem to
change the screen to be fewer rows. hitting any key just loads
the root image and it works fine too, just runs off the bottom of
the screen is all. Is there a way to change the number of rows
that linux displays?  (I haven't installed it yet, just booting
off the floppies) 
Also where is .99?  I ftped .98 from Wuarchive (mirror site)

Subject: 0.99 Succes!
Organization: Florida State University
Date: Wed, 16 Dec 92 17:55:47 GMT

After seeing the post from Linus on Sunday afternoon, I decided to get 0.99
and try my hand at compiling the kernel.  I had never compiled the kernel
before, but had simply always gotten the SLS upgrades which are easy to
install.

After 20 or so minutes of reading through documentation and following
directions, I had all of the dependencies made and the configure script
was run.  I chose: No TCP/IP, No Sound, No CDROM support, No SCSI and
the standard Minix fs and Extended fs to be added.  Yipee.

make dep barfed on some error about the iso filesystem for CDROM.
This problem was cleared up in a file I found under Incoming on Sunsite.

[Several 50 minute compile seessions later and a few more grey hairs]

make was now choking on some problem with tcpip.o.  Now, I'm thinking
to myself "I told the config script NO CDROM and got an error, then
I told it NO TCP/IP and got an error with TCP/IP"  Lovely.
This was fixed also by help from a few e-mail responses and the above-
mentioned file from Sunsite.

Finally I thought "What more can go wrong?  I mean, You've spent
about 4 or 5 hours now trying to get this thing to compile, eventually
either you will grow old and die trying or it will work."

make stopped with an error about a net.o file not found.  Nice.
This was fixed through suggestions in an e-mail response to a 
very flustered and annoyed post I made.  Thanks.

Now that I had all the makefiles properly straightened out, I ran
a make clean and then recreated the empty tcpip.a archive which was 
needed.

Yehaw.  It worked.  I then moved the Image to a floppy to boot from.
Reboot.
System hangs.
Frown.
Boot up DOS, login to account, read news, find fix.  This is too much.

So then I applied yet another miniscule fix to inode.c which Linus
posted.  I then did a make clean and make dep to make sure.
This run of make was fine and a new Image was produced.  I moved the
Image to a floppy, rebooted, YAY!!!!

So let's see here:

I had to re-make everything about 6 times.  At about 50 minutes per
compile on a 386-25/387 with no other processes running, that's a
nice big fat 5 hours.  Not to mention the frustration.

The moral of the story is, wait a week before deciding to upgrade
when a new version comes out.

Overall, I like the idea of making Linux superior to any OS available.
There are some great things about unix and then there are some pain
in the *ss things.  I must admit that I was a VMS system admin./programmer
for a couple of years.  I also was into OS-9.  I think Linux is the
best thing to come around in a long, long time.  I also think that
it could be a good platform for some good experiments in new/revised
unix utilities.  There is probably some application out there
that people wish was a lot simpler.

  I disagree.  A standard file of parameters is a simple way to tune
  the kernel.  What price will be paid by the kernel to read these
  parameters?  I think it is an excellent idea.

  I am an earnest believer in not rebooting a kernel.  This doesn't mean
  you should tune it on the fly with a debugger like this guy Marcus
  Watts used to do (Altos Unix systems).  I believe loadable and 
  configurable device drivers would be great, also.  It would also
  be nice to have a selectable parameter file; just in case the other
  one gets tuned incorrectly.

  On system accouting, it would be a nice option.  Those who will need
  it will probably create it.

can anybody point me to where that puppy is (assuming it'll work
with the new kernels) and/or how to get the readily available rz/sz sources
to output the progress they're making.  It's unsettling to transfer a few
MB of SLS and have everything sit there for many minutes/hours with no

I hear that you should use "xdm -nodaemon".  But you will still have
a problem with using it in SLS, because of shadow password stuffs.

I just posted a fix to xlock, but now can not find the source to xdm
to do the same.  On gatekeeper, I get this junk.

Well,

Rick at Always has just informed me that they now have a Tech reference
manual available for the IN-2000 card:

rick@always responded to a letter ->

[Preamble deleted]

->Not sure if I replied to this already, but our technical document for
->the IN-2000 is available for $50 U.S.  You can order it as "IN-2000
->Hardware Reference Manual" from our support department (818-597-9591).

->
->	--rick

Now, I have 0 intuition, and $50 is rather steep, but for the sake of
making some use of these 3 IN-2000 cards I have, I'd be willing to pitch
in $25(half) to have the book sent to Eric (I think that's his name) or
whoever is maintaining the SCSI code.  I just don't know enough about
SCSI commands and requirements to make decent driver code.  I'd even be
willing to forward a card to this individual to use while developing the
driver. 

If he's not willing, I *MAY* fork over the whole amount at a later date,
and try it myself, but from what I've seen of the Linux Kernel code, It
ain't a whole lot like the SCO driver I hacked together a while back,
and I know ZIP about SCSI coding. (Can you say learning curve?)
