64b/32b library problems

/usr/lib is 32-bit libraries. /usr/lib64 is 64-bit libraries.

My hardware, various bugs seen so far
by Paul C. Leopardi 17 Feb '04

17 Feb '04

Hi all, I've kept a log book to document my installation, and have seen about 10 bugs so far, as well as some other annoyances. I can supply more detail for these bugs if anyone is interested. I alos have a list of more minor quibbles. The MD5 sum mismatch is probably the biggest issue. From what I have seen on the Web, this is probably related to an interaction between ReiserFS and the MB cache on my Seagate drive, rather than a hardware problem. Best regards Bugs in SUSE LINUX 9.0 Professional AMD64: Installation bugs ============ 1. Formatting /dev/hda1 (on 160GB Seagate disk) as /windows/C mkdosfs goes to 90+ % CPU and makes no progress dosfsck also goes to 90+ % CPU and makes no progress. Current SuSE version is dosfstools 2.9-43 Worked around by not formatting this partition 2. Installing GRUB after expert partitioning Error 15 file not found install --stage2=/boot/grub/stage2 /grub/stage1 ... Current SuSE version is grub 0.93-201 Worked around by manually editing /etc/grub.conf install /grub/stage1 ... and manually installing MBR via typing in GRUB commands. 3. Monitor flickering in framebuffer mode Worked around by changing monitor setting from 1280 x 1024 @ 75Hz to 1280 x 1024 @ 60Hz Current SuSE version is k_deflt 2.4.21 -193 4. Installation of various packages from both DVD and Internet failed: MD5 sum mismatch Worked around by retrying. 5. Installation of package pysol caused X to freeze. Current SuSE version is pysol 4.82-27 Worked around by resetting and trying again. Post installation bugs ================ 6. Playing pysol Music sounds like harsh buzzing Current SuSE version is pysol 4.82-27 Worked around by switching sound off. 7. Running KWinTV and Zapping Screen displays strange pattern in wide vertical band in centre, as if pixels were the wrong way around, or delayed, or both. Current SuSE version is kwintv 0.8.12-199 8. KDE log out did not log out kdebase3-kdm 3.1.4-42 Worked around by CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE. 9. Clicking on folder in Konqueror navigation panel Konqueror crashed. Current SuSE version is kdeaddons3-konqueror 3.1.4-38 10.

SUSE AMD 64bit installation failes on Shuttle X
by S.Schmidt＠avm.de 16 Feb '04

16 Feb '04

Hello, I experienced problems installing a SUSE 9.0 AMD64bit edition on an Shuttle X system (http://de.shuttle.com/sn85g4.htm#oben). A may send a hardware index collected with aida32 under windows 32bit. It´s not included since a messages larger than 20000 bytes is not accepted. Latest bios is already running.System hangs on state "starting hardware detection". No other CD boot option works, even not acpi=off or manual installation, since all of them use hardware detection. A SUSE 9.0 non AMD64bit faces the same problem. Refering to http://de.shuttle.com/linux.htm, a boot problem is known in connection with RedHat, but also says a SUSE 64bit edition does not share this problem. The solutions provided under http://portal.suse.com/sdb/en/2003/11/90_amd64.html did not help at all. On the same machine a Knoppix 3.3 or Windows XP is doing fine. Help is appreciated.

Installing SuSE 9 from SuSE 9
by David Liontooth 16 Feb '04

16 Feb '04

Greetings - I just unpacked a dual opteron storage server with a 3ware 7000-series RAID controller and two sets of three SATA drives. SuSE 9 is installed on /dev/sda2, a 500GB file system. The technicians at Monarch computers adviced me to install the OS on a different drive. (One problem they had is that 3ware hasn't released a controller card driver for SuSE 9 yet.) I've added an IDE drive for this purpose, to free up the RAID 5 drives for storage. I'm new to this and have two questions. First, will I get a big performance hit on the OS by moving it from the SATA RAID drives to a single IDE drive? There is 2GB RAM. Second, can I install SuSE 9 from loop-mounted DVD disk images, or in some other way directly from hard drives within the existing installation? I don't have a floppy or CD/DVD drive on this unit, though I could plug one in for this purpose. Cheers, David P.S. Minor issues in case someone has a quick answer: How can I boot directly into a text console and not into SuSE's graphics console (I set it to boot to run level 3)? How can I increase the font size at boot? Finally, the kernel isn't supporting my flat screen display -- the text is squashed and unreadable. An old CRT works.

Re: [suse-amd64] meminfo Tyan 2880/6GB
by Santiago Flores 16 Feb '04

16 Feb '04

Mike & et.al., I wish the toy was mine. The RAM all came at one time from the same vendor and is matched. I have tried moving them around to different slots with no change. :) It is sad to have such a nice toy not living up to its potential. The historical story is: We bought the RAM, MB, and Processors from the same vendor. Lodaed up SUSE and let the machine run. It ran without problem for about 2 weeks with all 6GB of RAM. Then the UPS it was plugged into failed and the machine went down. The board would never boot again with more than 4GB. The board a couple days later died completely. We RMAed that board and had to order another (since it took them 2 and a half months to get us the replacement board). The board we orderded (same model) is the one in the machine now. The RAM is the original RAM, as are the processors.
