Intel e1000 on Suse 8.2
by John Barbieri 24 Dec '04

24 Dec '04

Hey there. Im trying to set up Suse 8.2AMD64on a Tyan Tiger K8W motherboard with dual opteron 242s. I have two RAID arrays going on, one off of an HPT37x2 controller, and another off of an SiL 3114 SATA controller. The problem I am having is with the Intel Gigabit Ethernet on-board. During the setup, the card is recognized, and I can give it an IP. After setup, during boot, when it tries to bring the interface up, it fails right away. When I get into Suse, and do an ifconfig, the interface does not appear. Sometimes im able to give it an IP, but I can not ping anything on the network, only itself. I looked for drivers, and found some off of Intels Website. I try installing according to the instructions, but when told to do insmod, it fails with "relocation overflow of type 10". I think this is because it is not a 64bit driver. Anyways, was wondering if anyone has gotten this board or card to work under 8.2. I would like to stick to 8.2, because it is so far, the only 64bit linux that will support both of my RAID cards above. Unless someone has gotten both cards to work under something else like 9.0 or 9.1 Thanks John Barbieri

Mozilla plugins fail to load
by Paul C. Leopardi 23 Dec '04

Hi, I've been trying to puzzle this out on my own, but am still stumped. My Mozilla is not able to load either the Helix plugin or the Flashplayer plugin. I'm using SuSE Professional 9.1 AMD64. leopardi@linfinit:~> rpm -q mozilla mozilla-1.6-74.14 leopardi@linfinit:~> rpm -q flash-player flash-player-6.0.81-2 leopardi@linfinit:~> rpm -q RealPlayer RealPlayer-10.0.0.297-20040730 I can sort-of-understand that RealPlayer-Helix could be a problem, since it was released after SuSE 9.1, and the RPM is really for Red Hat/Fedora. The problem is with Flashplayer. This is a SUSE RPM and it should just work. Best regards leopardi@linfinit:~> mozilla& [1] 7741 leopardi@linfinit:~> LoadPlugin: failed to initialize shared library /usr/local/RealPlayer/mozilla/nphelix.so [/usr/local/RealPlayer/mozilla/nphelix.so: cannotopen shared object file: No such file or directory] LoadPlugin: failed to initialize shared library /home/leopardi/.mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so [/home/leopardi/.mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory] LoadPlugin: failed to initialize shared library /opt/mozilla/lib64/plugins/nphelix.so [/opt/mozilla/lib64/plugins/nphelix.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory] LoadPlugin: failed to initialize shared library /usr/local/RealPlayer/mozilla/nphelix.so [/usr/local/RealPlayer/mozilla/nphelix.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory] LoadPlugin: failed to initialize shared library /home/leopardi/.mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so [/home/leopardi/.mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory] LoadPlugin: failed to initialize shared library /opt/mozilla/lib64/plugins/nphelix.so [/opt/mozilla/lib64/plugins/nphelix.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory]

Hi list, when I try to do an online update with SuSE 9.1 i get Error Signature check for patch info files failed. Can not load patch information. Patch: fetchmsttfonts-3 any ideas as to how to get around this? where can I tell YOU to not apply this patch or to skip it? I don't think I need these MS fonts how do I get rid of them? thank you Rene

Hello Matt, hello all Just for saying that my laptop is an Asus (L5D series), with SuSE 9.0 AMD64 and SuSE 9.1 AMD64 with an upgraded kernel (2.6.8) coming from SuSE 9.2. Under SuSE 9.0 (kernel 2.4.21-260) : with the right memory range + ports, my network card NetGear FA411 (16 bits) works. But this is not the case of my two modem cards (Hayes Optima 288 and Com'One 56K). See all the details in my previous mails sent to this mailing-list. Under SuSE 9.1 : modem cards well detected but wrong assigned device : /dev/cuax, instead of /dev/ttySx About FA411 : well detected, seen with ifconfig (eth1) but I think it can't be used.

However, I had not yet installed the nvidia driver using YOU. After I installed the nvidia patch it would not boot up. If I add mem=2048m back to the boot options the it will boot up.

Thank you. Disabling USB in the bios fixed the problem. I'll definately get the new kernel to see if I can re-enable USB.

Acer Aspire 1523 WLMI und 64bit-Linux Suse-9.2
by wlindenbauer＠t-online.de 21 Dec '04

21 Dec '04

Hallo Liste, benutzt schon jemand ein Acer Aspire 1523 WLMi mit Suse-9.2 oder einem anderen 64bit-Linux ? Werden alle Komponenten unterstützt ? Auch die beiden PCMCIA-Steckplätze? Die brauche ich für meine PCMCIA-WLAN-Karte und Speicherkarte. Oder kann jemand ein anderes AMD64-Notebook für 64bit-Linux und später auch Solaris 10 empfehlen ? Vielen Dank für Eure hoffentlich zahlreichen Antworten ! Mit freundlichen Grüßen Wigbert

suse 9.2 pro with 8 GB ram
by Mark Horton 21 Dec '04

21 Dec '04

About a month ago I had a problem installing suse 9.2 pro on my dual opteron system. It's a tyan S2885 motherboard with 8 GB ram. I was asked to try mem=2048m as a boot option and that worked. Everything installed fine. A few days ago I removed the mem=2048m from the grub boot options and now it wont boot. I can get it to boot again by re-adding the boot option but then I only have 2 GB of ram not the full 8 GB that I need. Suse 9.0 and 9.1 worked fine with 8 GB ram. Does anyone know what the problem is? Mark
