HDAMB System vs. k_smp-2.4.19-256
by Stephen Williams 25 Oct '03

25 Oct '03

I'm having further problems with booting any kernel other then the k_smp_2.5.19-191 that I am currently running. My system is a dual Opteron 244 in a HDAMB system board (Rhapsody?) with a mere 1Gig of ram. I have SCSI hard drive, and an IDE CDROM and ZIP drive. The AGP video card is a GeForce4 MX440. And otherwise it is SLES8. When I install (via yast) the 2.4.19-256 kernel, it boots only about far enough to print some ACPI messages, then it freezes. I set vga=0 on the boot line, little difference. So far, none of the "patches" for the kernel as downloaded by yast have worked for me, but I can boot the install CDROM in rescue mode, use rpm to install the k_smp_2.4.19-191 kernel, and I'm back in business. I can occasionally run tests, but I only sporadically have time to fiddle with this during the week. A nit: It would be much nicer if the kernel rpm packages *added* themselves to the grub file instead of replacing the existing boot config. This would then allow for multiple installed kernels, handy in train wrecks like this. -- Steve Williams "The woods are lovely, dark and deep. steve at icarus.com But I have promises to keep, http://www.icarus.com and lines to code before I sleep, http://www.picturel.com And lines to code before I sleep."

Looking at this one, this might be broken hardware - or an too old kernel. Can you try the latest ones from ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/x86-64/supplementary/kernel Do they work better?

GLIBC_2.2.5 on SuSE 8.1
by Ben Mansell 30 Sep '03

30 Sep '03

Hi, I've found a strange problem with building binaries on the x86-64 release of SuSE 8.1: Building any program (even a simple 'Hello world') seems to generate a binary with a GLIBC_2.2.5 dependency - consequently, the binary refuses to run on other x86-64 distributions with later glibc versions. (But oddly enough, the same binary does run on a SuSE 8.2 beta with glibc 2.3.2). Is this a known problem? (I've searched around but can find no mention of this issue) My only guess is that there is something odd in either the glibc on the machine, or with the gcc that creates the binaries, but I've no idea what I can do to fix it or work around the problem. The machine producing the binaries is using SuSE's gcc 3.2.2, Thanks, Ben

Hello, I downloaded and installed Suse 8.2Beta. Straightforward install. No issues (other than having to turn off APIC - same for all other distros). The machine was up for about a week and a power problem required it to be shutdown. Now when I reboot the whole process hangs at the intialization of cpu #1. Any ideas? I booted with a rescue disk to checkout the disks and they were fine. I booted with a ClusterKnoppix CD that I had laying around and it worked fine, with both CPUs. Attached is the serial output of a boot with no APIC. Help please

Installation trouble with MSI-K8D with AMD64 using SuSE's CDs
by Hugh Song 30 Sep '03

30 Sep '03

Dear all, Hardware version-1.0 MSI-K8D Master F board with the AWARD BIOS 2.0 (just updated), two 240 CPUs. one-to-four 512MB ECC registered DDR s. A powerful 550 watt EPS12 power supply from.Entec. First boot attempt gave me memory error-beeps from the motherboard. I then got rid of memory sticks one after one. Two sticks in a pair got rid of the memory error beeps. I am not sure whether it really is the error in the memory. We finally got the SuSE-installation screen from the SuSE-amd64 Beta-9 CD. However, nothng works after that, even though I did "acpi=off noapic" which has been suggested by many. Apprently it is a kernel-panic with the keyboard LEDs blinking constantly. It sometimes went down to Northbridge kernel driver istallation. It then stops. In one case it went down further. But in the middle of installation, it stopped. I borrowed the SuSE's United Linux Server CD. It also failed. similarly. It appears that the kernel in all those CD's are so much out-dated. Therefore, the only hope I now have is to put the new custom-compiled kernel, put it either in a CD or in a floppy. Too much trouble for me. I hate that. I think the most reasonable thing to do at this point is to just wait till SuSE comes up with the release version of SuSE-amd64 CDs. What date in October can I order or preorder? Thanks. Hugh

Hello all, I read the thread about "Installing directly to SATA drive on Asus SK8N ", but I don't understand if it functions or not... Well, I need to install a SLES8-AMD64 (Dual-processor Opteron 240) into a machine that have two Promisse controllers: - Promise® PDC20378 SATA/SATA RAID accelerator - Promise sata 150 tx2 plus None of them is recognized into installation, is there some procedure to correct this??? Can someone help me??? Regards, Fabiano Felix

There's always 3ware - it's more of a high end product than the Promise unit, but having the additional management capability can be very helful.
