SUSE-AMD64 and transparent process migration
by Khamenia, Valery 02 Mar '04

Hi all, are there any implementations upgrading SUSE-AMD64-based cluster to a cluster with transparent process migration? I mean something similar to MOSIX, Kerrighead and alike. thanks -- Valery A.Khamenya

RE: [suse-amd64] AGP

To follow up, My XF86Config option for "NvAGP" is "1". I tried "3" and the machine freezes; hard boot required. As suggested, here's my output from dmesg. tree@quicksilver:~> dmesg | grep -i agp Linux agpgart interface v0.99 (c) Jeff Hartmann agpgart: Maximum main memory to use for agp memory: 940M agpgart: Detected AMD On-CPU GART chipset agpgart: AGP aperture is 128M @ 0xf0000000 1: NVRM: not using NVAGP, AGPGART is loaded!! tree@quicksilver:~> dmesg | tail IPsec Security Policy Database (SPD): initialized. IPsec PF_KEY V2: initialized IPv6 v0.8 (usagi-cvs/IPsec6 based StS) for NET4.0 IPv6 over IPv4 tunneling driver Trying to register duplicated ioctl32 handler 5420 Trying to register duplicated ioctl32 handler 5421 Trying to register duplicated ioctl32 handler 5422 eth0: no IPv6 routers present 0: nvidia: loading NVIDIA Linux x86_64 NVIDIA Kernel Module 1.0-5332 Fri Jan 9 12:42:32 PST 2004 1: NVRM: not using NVAGP, AGPGART is loaded!! My video card is an Albatron 256 MB GeForce4 5600 XE (or SE, I forget, just the 256 MB version). So, it appears that the stock kernel detects the on-board AGP (a AMD64 thing?) and just uses that. How can I turn that off. Forcing any other option on XF86Config currently crashes the machine.

Re: [suse-amd64] via SATA

oh, thank you, thank you. It worked. Here I was wondering how I was going to build a kernel when I couldn't get suse installed. Now if I can just get the nvidia 3d stuff going, I'll be set. ;) -------------------------------------------------------- Thomas =?iso-8859-1?q?F=F6cking?= <suse(a)foecking.de> wrote: >Hello, > >> Just add them to /etc/sysconfig/kernel: >> >> INITRD_MODULES="sata_via libata scsi_mod sd_mod reiserfs" > >This works on my system but only with >INITRD_MODULES="libata sata_via scsi_mod sd_mod reiserfs" >because sata_via needs libata loaded before. > >Now i have a performance problem: > >hdparm -tT /dev/sda > Timing buffered disk reads: 22 MB in 3.10 seconds = 7.10 MB/sec > >A bit slow!?

Opteron, Asus SK8N, Nvidia 64 Bit
by Michael Arndt 01 Mar '04

01 Mar '04

Hello *. Problem: As soon as 64-bit nvdia driver is used on a Opteron / Asus SK8N System with SATA disks applications get only 10 % CPU performance left KDE / Grafic performance gets down ... strange: there are a great number of NMI's showing up: NMI: 11979329 cat /proc/interrupts: 11: 1003701 XT-PIC NVidia nForce3, nvidia Model: GeForce FX 5950 Ultra IRQ: 11 Video BIOS: 04.35.20.36.00 Card Type: AGP Questions: -someone has a Asus SK8N working with hardware accelerated open gl capable agp-card ? are there other 64 bit supported opengl cards recommended ? -kernel options like noacpi or bios settings concerning agp did not change the problem anyone hints what causes the conflict ? ( irq or agp problem assumed) TIA Micha

via SATA
by kevin＠trotmans.com 01 Mar '04

Have an Albatron with Via Southbridge Sata onboard. Install goes fine if I load sata_via mod and s98klin mod, but on reboot it apparently doesn't add the manually loaded mods to the conf cause it panics trying to mount the root disk (/dev/sda1 - rieser) and I never see anything about the SATA drive. I know there must be a kernel line for this, but I have no clue what it might be. Thankx.

Rtl 8169 (msi k8t800 neo onboard NIC)
by Tom Keresztes 01 Mar '04

Does rtl 8169 have support in suse 9.0 ? As I have seen, 2.6 series kernel have support for it, and I had problems with my linksys nic (ver4, with tulip driver) using ppp (only tested with suse 8.2 beta) Tom#

AGP
by Jason Vertrees 01 Mar '04

01 Mar '04

Hey folks, I heard AGP was disabled in 2.4, is that right? Unreal Tournament loads SUPER slow on my machine -- which I imagine it shouldn't. My machines's a dual Opteron 240 running with a GB of RAM on SuSe 64-bit v. 9.0 w/NVIDIA GeForce4 6500 SE (256 MB version). The game takes like 2-5 minutes to load -- is there a way I can test and see if AGP is working and at the advertised 8x speed? I'm also running the Nvidia driver and OpenGL works fine.

libgphoto2-2.1.4
by Bob Kile 01 Mar '04

01 Mar '04

To All, Using Suse 9.0 AMD64 on AMD64 +3200 w/MSI K8T Neo/CDR/DVD+-R/Nvidia FX5600/128 with 1Gb Corsair 400 matched pair of RAM.It's very stable for my applications desktop/multimedia/graphics and internet. I have tried manually installing latest version of libgphoto2-2.1.4 but end up with many errors in make due to 64 and 32 bit libs. Has anyone out there built a upgrade RPM that they could pass along? I'm still shaky on compilations although I recompiled and installed xsane and sane to get rid of suse bug that forgets where the device is. thanks, Bob Kile -- Underneath this flabby exterior is an enormous lack of character.
