Hello, I'm a new user of SuSE Linux, having just installed a new copy of SLES 8 onto a dual Opteron 244 system. I think it's working, but I got a couple of error messages that I don't know how to figure out. The first one shows up at initial boot-up: # more /var/log/boot.msg Inspecting /boot/System.map-2.4.19-SMP Loaded 14222 symbols from /boot/System.map-2.4.19-SMP. Symbols match kernel version 2.4.19. Error seeking in /dev/kmem Symbol #lvm-mod, value a0027000 Error adding kernel module table entry. The other one shows up later in the boot, but similar messages repeat during run time: <4>mtrr: type mismatch for fd000000,400000 old: uncachable new: write-combining <4>mtrr: type mismatch for fd000000,200000 old: uncachable new: write-combining <4>mtrr: type mismatch for fd000000,100000 old: uncachable new: write-combining <4>mtrr: type mismatch for fd000000,80000 old: uncachable new: write-combining <4>mtrr: type mismatch for fd000000,40000 old: uncachable new: write-combining <4>mtrr: type mismatch for fd000000,20000 old: uncachable new: write-combining <4>mtrr: type mismatch for fd000000,10000 old: uncachable new: write-combining <4>mtrr: type mismatch for fd000000,8000 old: uncachable new: write-combining <4>mtrr: type mismatch for fd000000,4000 old: uncachable new: write-combining <4>mtrr: type mismatch for fd000000,2000 old: uncachable new: write-combining <4>mtrr: type mismatch for fd000000,1000 old: uncachable new: write-combining <4>mtrr: size and base must be multiples of 4 kiB <4>mtrr: size: 0x800 base: 0xfd000000 <4>mtrr: size and base must be multiples of 4 kiB <4>mtrr: size: 0x400 base: 0xfd000000 <4>mtrr: size and base must be multiples of 4 kiB <4>mtrr: size: 0x200 base: 0xfd000000 <4>mtrr: size and base must be multiples of 4 kiB <4>mtrr: size: 0x100 base: 0xfd000000 <4>mtrr: size and base must be multiples of 4 kiB <4>mtrr: size: 0x80 base: 0xfd000000 <4>mtrr: size and base must be multiples of 4 kiB <4>mtrr: size: 0x40 base: 0xfd000000 <4>mtrr: size and base must be multiples of 4 kiB <4>mtrr: size: 0x20 base: 0xfd000000 <4>mtrr: size and base must be multiples of 4 kiB <4>mtrr: size: 0x10 base: 0xfd000000 <4>mtrr: size and base must be multiples of 4 kiB <4>mtrr: size: 0x8 base: 0xfd000000 <4>mtrr: size and base must be multiples of 4 kiB <4>mtrr: size: 0x4 base: 0xfd000000 <4>mtrr: size and base must be multiples of 4 kiB <4>mtrr: size: 0x2 base: 0xfd000000 <4>mtrr: size and base must be multiples of 4 kiB <4>mtrr: size: 0x1 base: 0xfd000000 and what repeats during run time is: kernel: mtrr: type mismatch for fd000000,800000 old: uncachable new: write-combining Can anyone tell me what the problems are, and how I can solve them? As I mentioned, this is the first time I've installed a SuSE system, and my knowledge of it is very limited. thanks, eyc
