Upgrade 9.0 x86 to 9.1 AMD?
by Kevin Hemenway 24 Mar '04

Good day. If I've got 9.0 x86 installed on an AMD64 machine, can I use 9.1 to upgrade to the AMD64 kernel? -- Kevin Hemenway

9.1 Pro for AMD64 and SATA/IDE RAID ?
by Hulslander, Ryan 24 Mar '04

24 Mar '04

Question: I'm currently running a Gigabyte K8N-Pro motherboard w/AMD64. If someone were to order the SuSE 9.1 Professional for AMD-64 distro, would it include enough "driver sense" during the install to recognize the following combinations; * SATA RAID using the Sil3512 chipset * IDE RAID using the GigaRAID IT8212 Lastly, if the drivers are included and they do load/work during a bare-metal install, are they still purely experimental at this point? It's just I didn't quite yet want to be on the absolute "bleeding" edge, since my earlier 9.0 Pro install media can't recognize SATA, and I haven't downloaded any subsequent .iso install images that may work. Many thanks! Ryan Hulslander

Radeon 9600 SuSE 9.0 64Bit Version
by Christian Maier 24 Mar '04

24 Mar '04

hi, i have a problem with Suse 9.0 64Bit Version and my Sapphire Radeon 9600xt graphic card. First of all, this are my system components: Asus K8V Deluxe Motherboard Sapphire Radeon 9600xt Wester Digital SATA Hard Disk connected wiht onboard Promise controller and other non exotic hardware My problem is this: I get no 3D-Hardware acceleration. I've tried the Suse fglrx drivers and the one from ati wiht no success. There is allways the same error during the installation of the kernel-module. Seem like a conflict between 32bit and 64bit libraries (elf32... elf64). Do anybody have an solution, cause it seems like i get no support from suse although i've paid for the software.

Kernel Error? (Surely not!)
by Jason Vertrees 24 Mar '04

24 Mar '04

Hey folks, Just like when I compile something in g++ and it claims to be a compiler error when in fact I've done something wrong, my kernel thinks it's done something wrong. I just compiled 2.6.5-rc2 w/reiserfs, SATA, SMP (Dual Opteron 240s), SuSe 9.0. I was running Folding at Home -- one on each processor -- and then ran glxgears. Then, I got this from my machine, anyone familiar with this?

Question about Reiserfs
by JOSE LUIS RICARDO-CHAVEZ 23 Mar '04

23 Mar '04

Hello, recently in our lab we have installed an Opteron cluster running SuSE 9.0, the system provider delivered the wrong disk drives and he has to replace them but we don't want to lose our system configuration or data. Do you know how to make a copy of a Reiserfs-formated root partition onto a second disk partition or tape device? We searched for a command similar to dump or xfsdump without success. Thanks for your help, - Jose Luis -- JosÃ© Luis RICARDO-CHAVEZ Tel. +33-5-61-55-68-33 Laboratoire de Physique Quantique Fax +33-5-61-55-60-65 UniversitÃ© Paul Sabatier 118 route de Narbonne F-31062 Toulouse, France e-mail: ricardo(a)irsamc.ups-tlse.fr

Filesystem question
by Quy NGUYEN DAI 23 Mar '04

23 Mar '04

Hi all, We have SUSE 9.0 AMD64 with 2 Opteron 2GHz CPU. Our application has so many I/O disk operations and should work with filesize up to 10-15GB. For this moment, we use ReiserFS but we cant know if this is optimized filesystem or not. Anyone has some experiences about this ? Thank you in advance, Regards -- Quy NGUYEN DAI GDTech SA

Hi, I've just installed Octave from SuSE RPMs, and tried to use it. I get the following error message: leopardi@linfinit:~> octave octave: error while loading shared libraries: liboctinterp.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory leopardi@linfinit:~> rpm -q octave octave-2.1.49-120 leopardi@linfinit:~> ls /usr/lib64/octave-2.1.49/ libcruft.a liboctave.a liboctinterp.a libcruft.so liboctave.so liboctinterp.so libcruft.so.2.1.49 liboctave.so.2.1.49 liboctinterp.so.2.1.49 Should Octave work? If so, how do I set it up? Thanks

SuSE9-AMD64, OpenSSI 1.0.0-rc3, grubby, ultra old mkinitrd
by Khamenia, Valery 23 Mar '04

23 Mar '04

Hi openSSI devels and SuSE-AMD64 list, after successes with OpenSSI at RedHat9 (ia32) i've tried SuSE9, and what is even worse, i have tried SuSE9-AMD64 :) "./install" exits with "Can't find grubby" message at line 29 of install script while trying to probe the bootloader. For some reasons SuSE9-AMD64 uses mkinitrd-1.0-64 and not the mkinitrd-3.5.* So, the grubby is not found there. Any comments? (especially from SuSE-AMD64 list) regards, -- Valery
