MSI K8D Master
by Gregor Stößer 05 Aug '03

Hi there, I've seen that many of you are having trouble getting this board to work with SuSE 8.2 x86_64. It works (more or less) fine for me, so here is my configuration: MSI K8D Master Version A9131KMS BIOS Version is 1.00 2x AMD 240 CPU 1.4 GHz 6 x 1G RAM ECC + buffered Floppy Disk Drive 80GB IDE Hard Drive Maxtor 6Y080L0 IDE CDROM Tekram 390 SCSI Controller 2x U2W SCSI Hard Drive IBM DDRS-34560D U2W Hard Drive IBM DNES-309170W Enermax 400 Watt Power Supply The root file system is on the first scsi drive, boot loader is grub, residing in the mbr of the ide disk. Installation worked fine for me, I did not recognized major problems (in contrast to GinGin64 from Red Hat and Madrake 9.0 who both refused to boot with more than 4GB of RAM). So the only suggestion I have is that there is somethings wrong with the IDE chipset during installation (I don't really know !!). Feel free to contact if you have further questions. Good luck !

OpenPBS Queueing system in 8.2beta9
by Fred P. Arnold 02 Aug '03

02 Aug '03

Hello, Pardon my density, but when OpenPBS 2.3 from the rpms provided on the beta disks is installed on 8.2Beta9, and you attempt to activate it by 'chkconfig pbs_server on', the error insserv: Service pbsserv has to be enabled for service pbsserv insserv: exiting now! /sbin/insserv failed, exit code 1 is coughed up. The services have been added to /etc/services pbs 15001/tcp # pbs server (pbs_server) pbs_mom 15002/tcp # mom to/from server pbs_resmom 15003/tcp # mom resource management requests pbs_resmom 15003/udp # mom resource management requests pbs_sched 15004/tcp # scheduler pbsserv 15005/tcp This is different from our previous hand-PBS installation on AIX 4.2 and NPACI-ROCKS (which makes no mention of configs beyond the standard stock ones from the manul). Any suggestions, as it's probably something simple and SuSE related that I missed. Thank you in advance. -Fred Frederick P. Arnold, Jr. NUIT, Northwestern U. f-arnold(a)northwestern.edu

Install problem with 8.2 Beta 9 for AMD64
by Louie Athanasiadis 01 Aug '03

Hello, I am having trouble installing the beta. I have a 2 processor AMD Opteron 242 - 1.6Ghz MSI K8D Master (AMD 8131 Chip Set) - MS-9131(v1.X) SSI Mainboard It has 6GB of ram and a 40Gb IDE harddrive If has a removable Harddrive rack install (for using multiple OS's) and when the Window XP Professional 32 bit OS disk is installed it works fine. all images (disks 1 to 3) were downloaded and the MD5 sums generated and compared with the values on the website all were correct. The images were burned to CD's. When I install the SUSE Linux beta using all default settings (except time zone) it goes through the installation of disk 1 and reboots at the end of disk 1 without asking for disk's 2 or 3. After rebooting the system hangs with blank screen after flashing some text on the screen (which I have been unable to capture). If I boot with "Linux - Safe Settings" option it displays to these two lines and hangs Starting kswapd bigpage subsystem: allocated 0 bigpages (=0MB). Any Ideas how to get my $11K box running linux??? Regards Louie
