[opensuse] Please share openSuSe developers with this issue
dear sirs: We have many RAID systems, both Intel & non-Intel that originally run Windows. We are trying to give Linux (openSuSE) its share now. However, we have an issue where system partitions are detected differently when openSuSe is running and when it's booting. For instance, openSuSE was installed on /dev/sde, but GRUB calls it /dev/sdd & doesn't know /dev/sde at all. GRUB doesn't know raid partitions I believe. We loaded the correct vendor modules at the time of install, installed systems fine, but GRUB cannot boot them unless we tell it new partitions. this's an issue incase there's power-loss & servers are set to boot up automatically. Our smolts system profile address is: http://www.smolts.org/show?uuid=pub_bbc1af31-25b1-4eb1-aa1f-aa8aab2b67c7 lspci -v & fdisk -l and lsmod reports are attached here. Another issue is that soundcard was detected and configured but no audio. we would try to compile a kernel but there are no drivers missing here. Please help this email reach the right openSuSe people. best regards,

You use Intel ICH9 Audio like me. It should be working. I put my experience on http://medwinz.blogsome.com/2008/12/26/workaround-for-sound-problem-on-opens... Maybe different case with you but you can try. If you sure that it is different, you can fill the bug report (https://bugzilla.novell.com/) and hopefully someone from Novell can add the quirk to the upstream code so that it'll work without model option in future kernel update. hope this help. regards, medwinz -- Zsa Zsa Gabor - "I'm a great housekeeper.

well, cat /proc/asound/card0/codec#* | grep Codec gives me:
Realtek ALC889A
the sound is: Realtek HD but Intel claims it. this server was running Windows before, so it showed Realtek HD audio. I guess it is running on Intel PCI bus.
That leads me to the reason this server won't boot to the traditional GRUB.
Intel ICH9R raid isn't detected and I have RAID5 on it. that is why disk order was getting messed up. disks on Intel raid work individual(AHCI) in openSuSE - amazing. I wish we could fix this.

Is that a real hardware raid, or a fake raid? I understand you need the drivers for your particular type of raid for it to be detected as such. I have changed the subject line of your post, in hope that some one with knowledge of that hardware can pop in. Please notice that this mail list is a users list in which we offer mutual help to one another, it is not an official channel in which to report bugs. You may, however, report on bugzilla, but that doesn't mean that if there is a real problem it will be solved this year :-p - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

ICH9R is one of Intels northbridges (see http://www.intel.com/Assets/PDF/datasheet/316972.pdf) and thus we're talking about fakeraid. I would guess that grubs device list (/boot/grub/device.map) is wrong. This file maps Linux device names to BIOS device names (e.g. 0x80 and 0x81, which grub refers to as hd0, hd1 etc. ). For an explanation see http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:The_Boot_Manager_Grub#The_Map_File .

The best way how to get support from openSUSE people is to fill appropriate bugreports in bugzilla.novell.com. -- Best regards / s pozdravem Petr Uzel, Packages maintainer --------------------------------------------------------------------- SUSE LINUX, s.r.o. e-mail: puzel@suse.cz Lihovarská 1060/12 tel: +420 284 028 964 190 00 Prague 9 fax: +420 284 028 951 Czech Republic http://www.suse.cz -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
