Playing DVDs on AMD64 system
by larry_prikockis＠natureserve.org 24 Feb '05

24 Feb '05

Has anyone managed to get any DVD playing software running properly under SuSE 9 for the AMD64? I've got an ASUS K8V Deluxe MB and an NVIDIA GF5200FX video card, for what that's worth. I've been trying, with little success, to compile a working version of the 'Ogle' DVD player, but am running into all sorts of dependency issues with RPMs, and missing library issues compiling from source. If someone else has gotten this working, I'd be interested in hearing exactly what RPMs/source files you used and what steps you followed. Thanks in advance ----------------------------------------- Real programmers confuse Christmas and Halloween because DEC 25 = OCT 31

Hi, I've parsed the archives titles but have not found anybody speaking about MSI K8T Master 2 dual-opteron motherboard. Basically, I want to know if someone has tested this board with SuSE 9.1 or SuSE Server for AMD 64. Thanks for the information. Olivier.

SuSE 9.1. system doesn't boot after kernel update
by Martin Markgraf 25 Jul '04

25 Jul '04

Hello list, I have an Asus K8V SE Delux with AMD Athlon 64, one S-ATA harddisk and an Adaptec 29160 wich is only connected to an DLT streamer. The system works fine until I have updated the kernel to kernel-default-2.6.5-7.75 via YAST Online-Update. After this update the system hangs during boot with "ReiserFS: hda2: checking transactions log (hda2)" as the last message. There the system stands forever. Booting with "Failsafe" doesn't works either, the system than hangs while initializing the PCI bus. I have then reinstalled the system without the adaptec and installed the kernel-update. Without the adaptec, the systems boots without any problems thereafter. Is this a known bug? Any hints how can to get the Adaptec to work with the updated kernel ? regards, martin -- Martin Markgraf Markgraf Network & Security Consulting mm(a)secprofs.de SecProfs - Your security professionals fon: +49 203 3469667 Prinz-Albrecht-Strasse 68 fax: +49 203 3469668 47058 Duisburg

Suse 9.1 looses all sound settings
by Gernot Bauer 06 Jul '04

06 Jul '04

When I restart my computer (yes, I know, linux should be running all day and night long), suse9.1 looses all sound-settings. I have a VIA 823x rev60 (on board) with ALSA-driver. I have to delete the soundcard, add it again (quick setup) and everything works fine again. Is there a kind of "save-feature/button" I missed? Thanx, Gery

One major problem is, the Suse 9.1 rescue mode is *missing the LVM drivers*. Now that my system is repaired, I just tried to boot in rescue mode and it doesn't work. It doesn't mount the LVM array, because it appears drm-mod is not present. If my diagnosis is correct, this is a serious oversight. I hope Suse will issue an update to fix this. - ------------------------------------------------------- - -- Please AVOID sending me WORD, EXCEL or POWERPOINT attachments.

2.6.5-7.75-smp kernel update problem
by Reimar Bauer 01 Jul '04

01 Jul '04

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Dear all we have trouble on four of our opteron systems because of the latest kernel 2.6.5-7.75-smp. two of them doesn't reboot because of a missing /lib/modules/2.6.4-52-default. We do not have this kernel installed before. So this seems to be a bug. the two others we have previously upgraded to 2.6.4-52 they were able to reboot. On all four systems yast2 recognizes a conflict with kernel 2.6.4-52. (downgrade to 2.6.4-52 should be the solution) Did you have seen this problem too and / or do you have an idea what is wrong? regards Reimar - -- Reimar Bauer Institut fuer Stratosphaerische Chemie (ICG-I) Forschungszentrum Juelich email: R.Bauer(a)fz-juelich.de - ------------------------------------------------------------------- ~ a IDL library at ForschungsZentrum Juelich ~ http://www.fz-juelich.de/icg/icg-i/idl_icglib/idl_lib_intro.html =================================================================== -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2-rc1-SuSE (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFA4tJH5aOc3Q9hk/kRAomoAKDGK0pX3olpzPS6xukzbYUAAdm1pACeLgyu ODxjQvdz0BUeQZr356iYgIY= =4ZqR -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

BUG: linuxrc fails to load x86_64 compiled module
by Kevin.Wilson＠comtrol.com 01 Jul '04

01 Jul '04

Distro: SuSE 9.1 x86_64-SMP No updates applied. Using 2.6.4-52 kernel sources. Installed to regular IDE disk to do controller module build. Hardware: AMD Opteron System 3ware 9500S-8 SATA RAID Controller Steps to reproduce: Compile a fresh raid controller module using 3ware sources. Successfully run insmod to install it to IDE disk. (RAID array detection successful, ready to partition.) Create update cd using new module. Shutdown and disconnect IDE disk. Power up and run a fresh install from the dvd disk. (target = RAID array) (installation with ACPI disabled) Select F6 to do driver update. Load update cd when prompted. select cdrom as update source in Linuxrc. Linuxrc fails with the following messages after loading update: insmod: error inserting '/modules/3w-9xxx.ko': -1 invalid module format Other messages seen during install: 3w_9xxx: no version for "struct_module" found: kernel tainted 3w_9xxx: version magic '2.6.4-52-smp SMP gcc 3.3' should be '2.6.4-52-default gcc-3.3' 1) It isn't invalid because I used module-init-tools 3.0_pre10-32 x86_64 from the distro disk to successfully load it on build disk. 2) I am installing to a SMP system so I shouldn't see this message at all. 3) Have no clue why the "struct_module" message appears or what it means, couldn't find any information other than it happens to many people after doing a search. Now would the change to UTF-8 file encoding cause Linuxrc's insmod to do this? Could it be that Linuxrc cannot load this module because it uses a older version of module-init-utils? Must I build boot disks from the installed system to use in conjunction with the 9.1 installation DVD to allow proper loading of the module? How can I get a x86_64 driver module loaded during first installation?

New to Suse
by Ray Carlino 01 Jul '04

01 Jul '04

I am new to Suse used to use mandrake but they totally messed up their amd64 version. Anyway where is a good place to get new applications and kernel updates? I would like to get a newer kernel that has support for my Treo 600 phone using the vision driver. Or where can I get the Suse config file for the kernel and I will compile myself? I just like to keep the kernel config as close to the distro as I can. Thanks -- Ray
