Swapping my computer hardware (mobo, CPU, etc.) with Debian...
Hello, I am planning to uprgade my old Debian/Linux box (Kernel 2.6.17-2-K7; Athlon XP)'s hardware since I am getting a newer and faster system. I would like to toss my gaming box's hardware (Athlon 64) in that mid-tower ATX case) as an upgrade (faster Linux box). The other stuff like HDTV tuner, TV card, soun... 18 Dec 2006 18:06

general protection rip & rsp
i'll get these kind of errors on a amd64 bit system ( dual core opteron ), with kernel 2.6.16.21-0.25-smp. Especially tftp causes these errors ( but also nscd, su ). Is this a kernel issue ( and thus can be resolved by an upgrade ), or is it just the hardware . h8sll motherboard, dual opteron 1800 Mhz, 3ware rai... 13 Dec 2006 17:21

Printer recommendation
I've been looking at the 2600n for home. But, having just seen it in the store (next to other printers), it seems a little bulky. I'm wondering if there's something about as capable but smaller. Needed are: * Network connected * Postscript * Color * Laser (or at least w/o the need to use the pr... 14 Dec 2006 16:20

SATA on Intel ESB2 chip
We recently got a server based on the SuperMicro X7DBE+ board, i.e., the Intel 5000P chipset, with SATA disk I/O done by the ESB2 chip. In the BIOS we can set Legacy mode (the default), or AHCI mode. From what I read on <http://linuxmafia.com/faq/Hardware/sata.html>, AHCI has a number of advantages, like NCQ (not... 13 Dec 2006 14:37

2.6.x and fx2lp bulk_write errors
I use USRP-like firmware on Cypress' FX2LP chip with a x86 Linux 2.6.x host. The problem is quite simple: When I run a program (let's call it usb_test1) and it calls the usb_bulk_write function twice it works fine: ========= usb_test1 usb_bulk_write(stuff) usb_bulk_write(morestuff) ========= ....but say ... 8 Dec 2006 21:05

Looking for a PCI-X ATA 8-channel hard drive controller.
I realize this is fairly specific, which is why google has failed me and I come to Usenet. I'm looking for a (obviously linux- compatible) ATA hard drive controller (RAID is OK, but won't be used, I use MD RAID). It needs to be PCI-X OR PCI-64/66 and have either 4 channels with the capability for two drives pe... 22 Dec 2006 13:43

Deskpro: can't boot from hd, or run setup from floppy; not newbie, have rtfm
Posting to c.o.l.s because machine runs only Linux, to a.s.p.c because it's clearly a Compaq firmware issue, and to c.o.l.h because the firmware might as well be hardware, since I don't (yet) know how to change it. This problem is not for the faint of heart. I have read the manuals on the Compaq website, tried ... 4 Dec 2006 14:17

8139-based Airlink ASOHORL PCI network card not working under 2.6?
I'm using Ubuntu 5.10 (x86) and just popped in a cheap Airlink ASOHORL 10/100 PCI network card, which I bought because it was something like $5 and promised Linux compatibility on the box. The card is based on the RTL-8139C chipset (according to rtl8139-diag). However, when I add the card to /etc/network/interfac... 27 Nov 2006 10:26
