AMD64 CD-only 64bit system ?
by wlindenbauer＠t-online.de 16 Jan '04

Hello again, is there any SUSE (or Knoppix) 64bit CDROM-only Linux system available ? I like to use it for testing an AMD64-Notebook before I buy it. Best regards Wigbert

compiling kdevelop 3.0
by Frank Gable 31 Dec '03

31 Dec '03

I've been having problems getting kdevelop 3.0 to compile under suse 9.0 amd64. The first error I got was: grep: /usr/lib/libart_lgpl_2.la: No such file or directory /usr/bin/sed: can't read /usr/lib/libart_lgpl_2.la: No such file or directory libtool: link: `/usr/lib/libart_lgpl_2.la' is not a valid libtool archive make[3]: *** [libkdevelopqextmdi.la] Error 1 This looked strange because I thought it should be looking in /usr/lib64 not /usr/lib. Is /usr/lib/libart_lgpl_2.la simply missing or should it really be looking for the 64bit version. The file libart_lgpl_2.la is present but its in /usr/lib64. Any help would be appreciated. --Frank __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? New Yahoo! Photos - easier uploading and sharing. http://photos.yahoo.com/

No power off after shutdown
by Emile van Mierlo 30 Dec '03

30 Dec '03

Hello List, After consulting this list I finally build my SuSE AMD64 system (Workstation), and it works really very nice. After the build I performed an install out of the box with linux raid 0 and standard packages, no parameters and all hardware worked without a glitch. All the 64bit and 32bit software I tried worked good. Really a good job SuSE! One detail I have to fix: The machine will not power off after shutdown; it only halts. Then the powerswitch doesn't react either. I have to hold it for 4 seconds to force it to power off. Maybe an APM setting somewhere? Maybe it is not possible with smp instalations? Maybe I'm in the wrong list to ask? Maybe I just have to leave my machine on :-) Does somebody know how I can do this? Thanks. Emile van Mierlo System: Tyan Tiger K8W (s2875), Dual Opteron 244, 2 x 1GB Kinston PC2700 registered RAM Adaptec 29160 SCSI, 2 x Maxtor Atlas 10k4 SCSI Nvidia FX5900 Graphics (Asus V9950SE), Plextor PX-708A CD/DVD The power switch is set to "on/off" in the BIOS.

DW-28E on AMD64 box
by Yoriaki FUJIMORI 30 Dec '03

30 Dec '03

Dear listers, I am trying to install a slim DVD/CDROM drive to an AMD64 based linux box running SuSE9.0Pro. MB is AOpen MK89-L, and its bios is nforce3 150. (1) When the box is switched on, the bios seems to detect the drive as a DVD/CDROM drive correctly. (2) When I tried to boot from the side 1 of SuSE9.0 DVD, however, the kernel cannot see the DVD drive, so that in the first stage of installation, the process stopps. (3) I found out that DW-28E is recognised by kernel as cdrecorder; /dev/cdrecorder is a symbolic link to /dev/hdc. By browsing many web sites, I learnt that this DW-28E is widely usued on notebook computers, and that with 32bit OS it seems to work fine for DVD playback. I have not yet check this with a 32bit box, though. I do not know if my problem is specific to 64bit, either. My questions are: (1) Is someone of you using this with amd64? (2) Is there any quick tricks to use DW-28E as a DVD drive? Thank you for your attention. yoriaki fujimori

Happy Chrisrmas & Still trying to get the KT8 Bits working
by gareths.rees 29 Dec '03

29 Dec '03

Happy Christmas and thanks for the help so far! I'm trying to get a standard pre-built 2.6 Kernel rpm from Kraxel's directory to make all my HW on the KT8 Neo to work all at once. I'm probably being really stupid but get warnings that it cannot determine the dependencies of ataraid, pdcraid and ata_via during the rpm installation? When I try and modprobe the ata_via module it can't be found (which as far as I can see is right?) Also I have to load the 8139too by hand which again used to work under 2.4.21 during the boot up process. What am I doing wrong? Apologies, if I'm being really dim but this is my first venture into SUSE. Best regards and thanks in advance Gareth gareths.rees(a)btopenworld.com

OGLE on AMD64 ?
by Len Zaifman 29 Dec '03

29 Dec '03

I have a new AMD 64 system: ATI RADEON 9600 XT card + MSI K8T NEO board, AMD64 3200+ cpu + a dvd player LG 4040B. I am running SUSE AMD64 9.0. When I couldn't find a prebuilt RPM, I downloaded src rpms and : a52dec-0.7.4-fr3.src.rpm libdvdcss-1.2.8-1.fr.src.rpm libmad-0.15.0b-3.fr.src.rpm all built fine and installed in 64 bit mode as x86_64. All other libraries came with SUSE AMD64 and were installed. but ogle-0.9.2-ogle1alsa.src.rpm cannot compile because it wants specific architectures, none of which is x86_64. Can this be built on the AMD64 architectcture? I can try a 32 bit installation, but I prefer to move to 64 bit only, where practical. Thanks.

Modem drivers
by Daithi Htun 28 Dec '03

28 Dec '03

I am using SuSE 9.0 but it didn't pick up my modems on both the laptop and desktop. I've searched the many Linux modems sites but couldn't find drivers for the following chipsets: - Intel 82801 CA/CAM'97 Modem Controller (on a Sony VAIO PCG-V505BL) - Broadcom Corp BCM v.90 56k modem (on a Gateway, possibly a "Palmer" modem custom-made for Gateway) If anyone has had experience with either of these, or know of a driver that might work, please let me know. Thanks, Daithi -- ___________________________________________________ Check out the latest SMS services @ http://www.operamail.com, which allows you to send SMS through your mailbox.

Does a 2.6 boot.iso for SuSE9 install exist?
by Steven A. DuChene 27 Dec '03

27 Dec '03

Is there any chance that a 2.6 based boot.iso might exist anywhere to use as a basis for installing the SuSE9-x86_64 bits? Perhaps someone from SuSE software engineering on the list might be able to help with that? -- Steven A. DuChene linux-clusters(a)mindspring.com

Suse 9 Pro on dual opteron + 6GB mem crashes/panics

Hi list, We're running Suse 9 pro (latest suse smp kernel) on a dual Opteron 242 with 6GB memory, LSI megaraid 1600 + 2 disks in raid 0 and 4 in raid 5 on a Tyan Thunder K8S (with latest bios).
