Database problems ...
by Örn Hansen 12 Apr '04

12 Apr '04

After converting the system from 32bits, to 64bits ... I encountered that my ldap doesn't work. First, the bdb won't read the old database and the db_tools simply crash when run on it. I deleted them and started over, actually had an ldif backup, but then discovered that the certificates won't work? this part is a bit more serious, since they won't be changed ... anyone encountered a solution?

Maxima and axiom are running fine there. Could be changes in compiler, glibc or binutils - if it breaks with the newer stuff, the code in gcl is broken...

gcl on SuSE9.0
by Yoriaki FUJIMORI 11 Apr '04

11 Apr '04

Dear folks, I am trying to compile gcl-2.6.1-33 on SuSE9.0. On the i386 platform, no problem, but on the AMD64 platform, the make process fails. A funny thing is that I can compile it with SuSE8.2beta9..... Is there anybody that has compiled gcl-2.6.1 with success, and then made maxima-5.9.0 and axiom on SuSE9.0/AMD64? Thank you for your attention. yoriaki fujimori

Tyan Tiger K8W, 2 CPU , Mem > 4 GB
by Michael Arndt 10 Apr '04

10 Apr '04

Hello * 2 Questions related to Tyan Tiger K8W with AMI Bios v02.33 a) Does anyone use this MOBO with Mem > 4 GB ? (We have the Problem that AGP Window is mapped over 1 Memory Chip in any case, no remapping above 4 GB by BIOS ) But it might be a compromise to use at least 7 GB Mem of 8 GB. b) Does anyone know per chance if the board layout is good with respect to fast memory access by both cpu's ? TIA Micha

Strange hang
by Santiago Flores 09 Apr '04

09 Apr '04

Hello all. I've been enjoying the opteron board preference discussion! Thanks. On to buisness - We had a SCSI cable fail (1st time I've ever had the cable fail) and we had to take down the machine to swap the cable. Now when I bring the machine up, it comes up fine. Just like normal. However, after an indeterminate amount of time it hangs. Not a hard hang though. I can type in any shells I have open, so long as I don't do anything interactive. As soon as I tab or press 'enter' then that shell is hosed too. I cannot open any new ones. The only info I am getting is this from /var/log/messages: just before hang Apr 8 11:11:51 linux sshd[1533]: error: fork: Cannot allocate memory interesting(?) Apr 8 11:25:18 linux kernel: Error seeking in /dev/kmem Apr 8 11:25:18 linux kernel: Error adding kernel module table entry. just before hang Apr 8 12:11:18 linux sshd[1533]: error: fork: Cannot allocate memory Apr 8 12:11:19 linux kernel: Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 0000007f804540e0 Apr 8 12:11:19 linux kernel: printing rip: Apr 8 12:11:19 linux kernel: ffffffff80149627 Apr 8 12:11:19 linux kernel: PML4 107bcc067 PGD 107bd4067 PMD 0 Any ideas? I just rebooted with apic=no to try that and see if I can get it to hang. TIA, Santiago -- Santiago Flores Sr. Systems Administrator Iqdirection.com santiago(a)iqdirection.com 480-560-3151

RE: [suse-amd64] Fortran Compilers for AMD64

For PGI compilers, there's a set of manuals in PDF. AFAICS, after you download the evaluation product and install that, you just pay PGI and they give you the license code. You don't get a CD or printed manuals. The simplest optimization flag is to use `-fast'. There are other flags for finer control, but -fast seems to work fine. There's a pgdbg debugger, which I have not tried. The `Workstation' bundle actually has pgf77, pgf90 and pghpf for F77, F90, and `high-performance' Fortran. Not sure how pghpf differs from the other two, but the PGI web site should have some info.

Fortran Compilers for AMD64
by Terri Novotny 08 Apr '04

Hi, I have to decide on a good Fortran compiler for my dual Opteron system running SuSE 9.0 AMD64. Does anybody have recommendations on which compiler to use? I'd be interested in konwing more about both performance and user friendliness. Regards, Terri __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Not sure what you mean by `user-friendliness' for a compiler... I've did a bit of comparison between g77 and PGI's pgf77. The PGI compiler seems produce code that runs 15-20% faster than that produced by g77. This is on dual Opteron 244 running SLES8.

DVD burn for Suse 9.0
by Rui Rodrigues 08 Apr '04

08 Apr '04

Hi, I downloaded all the directory of the SUSE 9.0 (for all the architectures) because I bought a laptop with a AMD64 bit processor. But the size of the directory is 7GB. I want to know how I should organize the folders and files to burn two DVDs. The problem that I think will appear is that if I do not organize the files and the directories, when installing SUSE it will ask the first CD and then the second an maybe again the first and so on because some files are in the first DVD and others in the second. How can I know which files belong to the first DVD and to the second? Can you help me? It is just that I do not want to burn DVDs in a foolish way and then put them in the trash. Thank you for your time and continue the great work. Best regards, Rui Rodrigues
