[opensuse-factory] sata partition limit
by Felix Miata 28 Aug '06

28 Aug '06

I just tried to install 10.1 on this SATA system that was originally cloned from PATA when I bought a new system with I915/ICH6 and a faster CPU 17 months ago. Before the clone operation, 9.2 ran from /dev/hda16, Mandriva from /dev/hda7, Knoppix from /dev/hda15, and windoz and OS/2 and data occupied various other partitions. Now the 10.1 installer gives me these error messages: - WARNING: This system has at least one hard disk with a RAID configuration presented by the BIOS as RAID that is in fact software RAID. The following disks were detected as part of such RAID: /dev/sda /dev/sdb - The Linux kernel 2.4 supported some of these systems (like Promise FastTrack and HighPoint RocketRaid), but the Linux kernel 2.6 does not support them at all. If you install onto these disks, your RAID configuration and any data on the RAID will be lost. Refer to http://portal.suse.com to learn how to migrate to a Linux software RAID. - - Your disk /dev/sda contains 46 partitions. The maximum number of partitions that the kernel driver of the disk can handle is 15. Partitions numbered above 15 cannot be accessed. - Your disk /dev/sdb contains 19 partitions. The maximum number of partitions that the kernel driver of the disk can handle is 15. Partitions numbered above 15 cannot be accessed. - At the partitioning step, only those up to 15 were listed, and it offered to delete most (mostly OS/2, which it erroneously calls windoz) partitions. At that point I aborted the install, as I have all attempted Linux installs on this system. Surely people with SATA disks of upwards of 400G cannot be satisfied with SCSI's device (partition) name limit of 14. When is this going to be fixed. When is this problem going to be solved so that I can install where 9.2 was installed, or anywhere else for that matter? When is the kernel going to quit calling SATA SCSI? Wasn't it bad enough for the system to content with real SCSI devices mixed with USB devices without adding SATA into the mix? This SCSI/USB/SATA business is a mess. -- "If you confess with your mouth, 'Jesus is Lord', and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved."

[opensuse-factory] Mirrors are wrong on Novell
by houghi 09 Aug '06

09 Aug '06

On http://www.novell.com/products/suselinux/downloads/ftp/int_mirrors.html there is at least one mirror that is not active anymore: Belgium > Telenet. mirrors.telenet.be/mirrors/ftp.suse.com/ I know that I should mail the webmaster, however I think it might be better if the people who keep themselves busy with the mirrors could look into that page themselves and see what and if anything needs to change. e.g. Are Need any mirrors be deleted or added? Is the <Architecture> still up to date? Also a link to download.suse.com and/or download.opensuse.org would be great. While you are at it, don't forget to check http://www.novell.com/products/suselinux/downloads/ftp/germ_mirrors.html as well. -- First we thought the PC was a calculator.

[opensuse-factory] Konsole crashes on Alpha 2
by Arto Viitanen 02 Aug '06

02 Aug '06

When I try to run konsole on OpenSUSE 10.2 Alpha 2 (2xXeon 3.0Ghz, 1GB memory, x86 kernel), it crashes after some lines have been outputted. I tried "ls" nine times and then it crashed. My homedirectory contains files enough to get 56 lines, which gives about 500 lines. However, the History setting is 1000 lines, so the buffer has not overrun, or has it? Anyhow, the backtrace looks like System configuration startup check disabled. (no debugging symbols found) Using host libthread_db library "/lib/libthread_db.so.1".
