Crashes...
by Jason Vertrees 02 May '04

02 May '04

Hey Susers (what is Suseonians better?), I still have frequent system halts/crashes due to what appears to be the NVidia driver. Does anyone else have this? Do we just put up with it for now? I feel like I'm a Windows user rebooting my damn machine all the time. (2x tonight). Interestingly enough, my Debian server w/older hardware hasn't been shut off in well over 6 months. :) System: SuSe 9.0 AMD64 2.6.5 GeForce FX 5600 256 MB Regards, -- Jason Vertrees BSCB Graduate Student @ UTMB, Galveston javertre(a)utmb.edu :: http://www.bscb.utmb.edu

Will Suse 9.1 support the new Nforce 250GB?
by Ozymandias 01 May '04

01 May '04

I know it is really early in the game, and I am likely asking a lot of this mailing list for a first posting. I have decided, after running windows free for the last couple of months to buy the next release of SUSE. So I put in an order for 9.1 Professional. I had already planned to rebuild/build a new computer at the time based on this release, running a Via chipset, but the new Nvidia chipset looks promising. So, I guess it boiled down to this... will the new SUSE 9.1 support the features (gigabit LAN, integrated SATA, etc.) the boards will be offering. Yes, I know the new kernel supports SATA, withe the on-board promise controller, but will it support Nvidia's integrated SATA? Should I just stick with a VIA chipset and be happy? Thanks for any who take the time to answer this for me, an admittedly brief search of the archive has not revealed any answers. Lance Nichols

network not working with Suse 9.1 (amd64)
by Peter-Josef Meisch 01 May '04

01 May '04

Hi, I have just installed Suse 9.1 on a Fujitsu/Siemens Scaleo 600 with an AMD64 3200+ processor. I installed both versions (32 and 64 bit) in different partitions. The 32 bit version is running fine, sound, card reader and the network. In the 64 bit version the network card is recognized as "Linksys Network Everywhere Fast Ethernet 10/100 model NC100 (rev11)", same as in 32bit. Yast didn't put in the tulip driver, I did that manually. I am not able to get a dhcp address from my dhcp server, so I set up IP address, host name, router and name server by hand. I can start the network, ifconfig shows correct values, but I cant use it. netstat -r hangs, if I ping a different machine in my net I get a ping answer with the following error: wrong data byte #30 should be 0x1e but was 0x2f I cannot ping the 64bit machine from a different one. I don't think it's a hardware problem, because the 9.1 32 bit version on the very same machine runs without any problems. Has anybody a clue what might be wrong? Peter
