grub-install under SuSE 9.0 rescue mode
by Mikhail Kuzminsky 28 Oct '04

28 Oct '04

Hello, I'm installing GRUB into MBR after some unsuccessful (for MBR part) HDD cloning. Now I have (in the server) 1 HDD w/all filesystems ready, and want to install GRUB into MBR. grub-install is in separate /usr HDD partition. I loaded in rescue mode from SuSE 9.0 for x86-64 distribution media. I mounted root-FS under /mnt mounting point; mkdir /usr2 and mount "usr" pаrtition (/dev/hda5) w/grub-install under /usr2 mount point. /usr2/sbin/grub-install contains references to /usr/blah/..., so I changed grub-install script w/replacing of all of the /usr occurences to /usr2. But now ./grub-install --root-directory=/mnt --debug /dev/hda finished w/errors like /usr2/sbin/grub --batch --device-map=/mnt/boot/grub/device.map no such file or directory Sorry, where am I wrong - and what should I correct ? Yours Mikhail Kuzminsky Zelisnky Institute of Organic Chemistry Moscow

9.2 DVD media
by Brad Bourn 28 Oct '04

28 Oct '04

I have installed 9.2 on my new laptop and everthing works. I love SuSE!!!!!!! anyway, I always copy the installation media to my harddrive and change source so I never have to supply media when adding packages to my install. Is there a way to easily gut the 32-bit code out of the installation media to reduce the footprint on my drive? B-)

Re: [suse-amd64] ASUS K8V Deluxe Motherboard LAN problems (SuSE 9.1 + AMD64 3000
by Chuck Gibke 28 Oct '04

>> Hello I've spent two days wrestling, googling and asking but cannot get the onboard Gigabit LAN (3Com 3C940) to work on this board. Can anyone lend me a hand? I've had to put a cheap PCI card to get out to the world. I know that the onboard sound is a lost cause (?) but it would be sad to lose two PCI slots. I've been to syskonnect's site and tried the sk98lin module but that did not seem to do anything (apparently the driver is supposed to work with the 3Com chipset; maybe I'm way off). I would like to build a couple more of these boxes for my friends and family... TIA&Cheers << I have a k8v deluxe running Suse 9.0-64 with a Linksys secondary card. My original installation (around January 04) had the same trouble with the gbit NIC, so I put the plain vanilla Linksys in. A month ago I suffered a hard drive failure and had to re-install. I initially had the network cable connected to the Linksys - Suse installed and went through the online update cycle. At some point I noticed that both NICs were registered and active so I switched to the mobo g-bit NIC and have been using it ever since. I don't have a clue as to what update caused it to start working but I won't argue with success! I use it for a game server - the Linksys is set to a static local IP for when the box is here for repairs, the g-bit is set to the static global IP for when it is at its co-location site. I also have a plain K8v running Suse 9.1 at home and the g-bit card was detected and functional from the start with it. Also, when I first got the system, I also had trouble with the sound - someone else here on this list suggested going into the audio control panel and making ALL the settings 100% - this worked & I had sound after that. Right now it makes no difference since my box is on-site & only has power and network cords connected to it! Hope that helps or at least indicates there is hope! .....Chuck http://www.TexasArlingtonCS.us

Suse 9.1 hangs asus sk8v with 4.0gb ram
by bob sandefur 27 Oct '04

27 Oct '04

Hi -- I just upgraded my asus sk8v to four GB of RAM (dual-boot with Windows and Suse 9.1 worked fine with two GB of RAM). Windows boots and shows two GB of RAM. However 9.1 (AMD 64) hangs from both the installation CD and the hard disk. I may have misconfigured the hardware but I thought it was strange that Windows would boot and 9.1 wouldn't. Any suggestions? Robert (Bob) L.

FYI zv5000 & SuSE 9.2 Alps mouse driver
by Brad Bourn 27 Oct '04

27 Oct '04

Thought I'd drop a note to let fellow laptop users know that it was very easy to install and configure the synaptics driver from http://w1.894.telia.com/~u89404340/touchpad/index.html for the Alps touchpad on that laptop. All you have to do is follow the INSTALL doc and use the configuration from the README.alps and VIOLA! horizontal scrolling works! Yipeeee! B-)

What about SLSE 9 service pack 1, maybe service pack 2? SLSE 10? What does the current roadmap say about the release time frame for future releases of SLSE? Is there any indication what the final Kernel level will be for the next SLSE release? 2.6.8 + patches? 2.6.9? ----- -----Original Message----- From: rrpalma(a)synopsis.ws [mailto:rrpalma@synopsis.ws] Sent: Tuesday, October 26, 2004 6:36 PM To: Johan Nielsen Cc: suse-amd64(a)suse.com Subject: Re: [suse-amd64] Suse 10 release schedule info request.

Thanks Brad, will give that a try when I get home tonight. As I am runing 9.1, iirc SuSE was still using Xfree86. Forgot entirely all about SaX and Sax2. Aren't they graphical apps though?
