Diagnostice tool
by Brock Wolfe 08 Dec '02

08 Dec '02

I recently had a linux server die with a CPU kernel panic message. From internet searches the opinions on the most probable causes were failing power supply, memory problem, or CPU failing. I replaced most parts to get server up ASAP. Now I am trying to find the root cause of the failures. I am using memtest86 for memory testing (so far no faults found). Are there any other (non-wndows) diagnostic tools for finding hardware faults ? http://www.memtest86.com/ Brock Wolfe ___________________________________________________________ "The problem is not that there are problems.

RedHat 8 & Initio
by Raymond J. Henry 06 Dec '02

06 Dec '02

Trying to install RedHat 8 on a system with an Initio SCSI card, and it hangs loading the driver (on install). All 7.x releases installed fine, and I'm installing to a IDE HD, there are no SCSI hard disks on the system. Searched everywhere, can't find a resolution. Has someone else come across this problem?

USB scanner Epson 1250
by millward 01 Dec '02

01 Dec '02

Has anyone out there managed to get Red Hat 8.0 or 7.3 to recognize a USB scanner? The Epson 1250 is suppose to work with Sane 1.0.9. Red Hat 7.3 uses Sane 1.0.7 but it proved impossible to remove 1.0.7 to the satisfaction of 1.0.9. I used the Package uninstaller and then zapped files using the command line and somehow, there's still 1.0.7 files out there somewhere. So I installed Red Hat 8.0 on an empty partition. Xsane failed to find the sanner. I edited /etc/sane.d/epson.conf to recognize /dev/usb/sanner0 but it didn't help. The Epson 1250 is an old scanner. I'm rather disappointed that, even now I can't use it with Linux.
