am I hacked ?

Hi, I got some problems (disk access denied, bus errors,...) that led me to go into single user mode and fsck my partitions. I noticed then that there were some directories created in the tmp directory, called "dev" and "etc", and one file in the / directory called "success" with 0 length. At reboot, these files disapeared. Does anybody know if this could be a sign of a hacked computer ? I mean could someone have installed a rootkit or some such ? I'm not paranoid but this indeed seems strange.

Hi there, I'm sorry for sending you this query maybe you can help since I cant find any info elsewhere, Ive installed suse 10.0 on a b50 all is well there. The problem I have is that I've set up another b50 With fedora 5 but I have a garbled screen problem. I was wondering if I can copy xorg.conf from suse and apply it to fedora. Once again sorry ..

I'm trying like heck to install SuSE 10 on an IBM pSeries (710)...but not having much (any) luck. During the install it provides two options for bootloaders, ppc or none. ppc doesn't work and if I choose none then...well...I can't boot to it! In fact, I haven't been able to even boot to the installed system from the CD install app. Anyone installed 10.0 on this hardware yet? Where am I going wrong? I'm almost certain it has to do with my partition setup, but I've tried it with and without a boot partition - and I have created/kept the PReP partition (maybe I should blow it away and recreate). I'm a newbie but there's no need to be kind - let me have it, so long as it gets this thing going! :)

Problems installing OpenSUSE 10.0 on RS/6000 43p Model 150
by P. Andersson 20 Nov '05

20 Nov '05

Hi. I am having a problem installing SUSE on my RS6K, and as you may have guessed already it's probably related to the bootloader. I've tried reading up on all the info on this subject, but I still get the same "The proposal contains an error that must be resolved before continuing" seemingly no matter what I try. I've tried booting into rescue mode from the CD and running dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=4M count=1 as suggested by Olaf Hering to another person on this mailing list a while ago. After booting into the installation progran, I've tried leaving everything as it is, only disabling the bootloader option (also as suggested by Olaf in the same post), but this still produces the same error. I've tried messing around with deleting partitions and stuff in order to try to make the installer use the entire disk as suggested but to no avail. Something that further complicates things is that I'm using an old 2mb matrox s3 card as the GXT3000P I have isn't supported. Now, the S3 works fine, but this means I can only run the curses-based installer, making some of the options and procedures named differently than in the graphical installer (or so it seems, reading the installation guides), so the existing guides are sometimes confusing. Anyway, I would be extremely grateful if someone would take the time to explain step by step what to do to get SUSE installed on my RS6K. Seeing how many people seem to have a hard time making it work on the Model 150 and/or the B50, I'm sure it would ultimately save the people on this list a lot of headache, not having to answer the same questions again and again. Thanks in advance /P.

Interesting stuff on my old world macs
by larrystotler＠netscape.net 18 Nov '05

I've been doing some testing. I have a PowerMac 9600/300 now. The processor is a 300Mhz 604ev, which has 1MB L2 cache on the daughtercard running @ 100Mhz. I also picked up a Sonnet G3/400/1M card. Here are some of the results: OldWorld PowerMac 9600/300 604ev @300Mhz w/ 1MB L2 Cache @ 100Mhz ATI Rage II(Mach 64 GT) (XCLAIM3D) 4MB PCI Card 390Watt Power Supply Adaptec 2940UW PCI SCSI Card(flashed with the Mac ROM) 192MB RAM(6 x 32MB DIMMs) Mac OS v9.1 results for Processor: Apple System Profiler: External L2 cache: 1MB Hardware overview: Machine ID: 67 Model name: Power Macintosh 9600 series Keyboard type: Apple Extended Keyboard Processor info: PowerPC 604ev Machine speed: 300 Mhz KInfoCenter results for Processor: processor 0 cpu 604ev clock 300Mhz revision 1.0 (pvr 000a 0100) bogomips 299.00 machine Power Macintosh motherboard AAPL,9500 MacRISC detected as 16 (PowerMac 9500/9600) pmac flags 00000000 L2 cache 256K unified memory 192MB pmac-generation Old World Sonnet Cresendo G3 400/1M PCI Processor Upgrade card(note that I do not have any extentions or software in use for the G3 card, nor do I know if I actualy need any).

As you can see, Linux incorrectly identifies the L2 cache value for both processors as 256k. Also, the dmesg results for the G3 card say that the backside cache is diabled. I am still running v10.0/RC1, so I dunno if the release version would be any different. Is there something wrong with these results, or is there something I am doing wrong? The bogomips for the G3 would be consistent with a 400Mhz processor, but the Mac OS shows that the G3 is running at 445Mhz w/ 8MB L2 cache.......weird.

Install issue on RS6000/B50
by Steve Sonnenberg 09 Nov '05

09 Nov '05

I'm trying to install Suse-10 on B50 (PPC). I have created the following partition map using pdisk Apple_partition_map 63 @ 1 Apple_Bootstrap 2000 @ 64 (for eventual bootloader) Linux swap 502M Linux root 8G I have adjusted the partition section in YaST per instructions /dev/sda1 0.0 MB unknown /dev/sda2 .9 MB PPC Prep Boot /dev/sda3 502MB F Linux swap swap /dev/sda4 7.9GB F Linux native (Reiser) / But it won't accept my Installation Settings because of 'an error' My bootloader section has a blank "Location", but I don't see why. Under Boot Loader Settings: Kernel Section I have the following: Section Name: Linux Kernel: /boot/vmlinux Initial RAM Disk: /boot/initrd Root Device: /dev/sda4 (/ from above) VGA Mode (1280x1024x16) Other Kernel Parameters: quiet sysrq=1 Can anyone suggest what must be done differently? Thanks. -steve

Valgrind for ppc32-linux
by Julian Seward 07 Nov '05

07 Nov '05

SuSE currently ships valgrind (http://www.valgrind.org), a debugging and profiling tool, as part of the amd64 and x86 builds. Valgrind 3.1 is coming soon, and we will be providing full support for ppc32-linux for the first time. If you want to use Valgrind on ppc32, now would be a good time to check out, test and let us know of any problems you find. svn co svn://svn.valgrind.org/valgrind/trunk cd trunk ./autogen.sh ./configure --prefix=.. make install J
