64bit cross compiler for sl91 target on a redhat 8.0
by Lee, Richard 27 Jun '04

27 Jun '04

Hi all: I am building a 64bit cross compiler for sl91 target on a redhat 8.0 for myself. I do have an AMD64 system that installed a sl91 AMD64 on it. I compiled gcc3.3.3 amd64 package --enabled-languege=c I compiled binutil. But when I compile glibc, the configure command reported cannot detemine the size of unsigned long and refused to go any further. My plan was to compile: gcc3.3.3 amd64 --enabled-langueges=c binutils glibc gcc3.3.3amd64 with all langueges is there anything wrong with this procedure? Help is greately appreciated. Richard

Block-major-65
by chu＠tes-mail.jpl.nasa.gov 26 Jun '04

Hi Folks, I just applied the latest set of patches to my SLES 8 system, and after I rebooted, I keep getting the console message: modprobe: Can't locate module block-major-65 This is repeating very quickly, so I'm guessing something is restarting modprobe to try load this module. Is this a problem I need to worry about? What does this module do? How do I either fix this or stop it? thanks, eyc

Re: [suse-amd64] Trying to install the nvidia driver
by Herb Swanson 25 Jun '04

25 Jun '04

The instructions provided by Joel Pauling were both clear and exceptionally useful at getting the Nvidia driver loaded on my box. My stock 2.6.5 suse kernel was replaced with a kernel 2.6.7 from kernel.org. Thus I had no precomiled nivida. By patching against the 'official' install source from Nvidia I was able to compile and load the nvidia.ko module. I had spent several days attempting to get the pre-build packages provided by www.minion.de to work. Patching against the 'official' source gave me a working module.

ioctl32 and UT2004 - success :)
by Sergei Klink 25 Jun '04

25 Jun '04

Hi, Since I haven't found an updated DRI driver(maybe I wasn't looking hard enough) that would be useable with UT2004 and the like _and_ support 32bit applications, I took the first graphical diff tool I've ran into(tkxcd) and tried to "merge" whatever there was that seemed relevant in the km_drm package and the newer driver in the 2.6.7 kernel... To my amazement, it actually worked with only one compiler error to fix at the first try :) What's even better, not only did it compile, but it seems to run, too, and so far I don't have any more problems than with the older driver(e.g. switching from console to X and back a few times freezes the system), and I can play UT2004(64bit), UT(32bit), ET(32bit), etc even with 24bit colour(16bit colour tends to make UT ugly :( In case it's interesting to anyone, attached are the quick diffs for the Radeon driver, to be applied to the 2.6.7 tree after the latest patches from amd64-org. (note: my knowledge of C tends to 0, and I'm not responsible if there's something terribly wrong with them) P.S. One question: so why isn't 32bit emulation for DRI included into the official kernel tree? Or at least with the patches at amd64.org?

Trying to install the nvidia driver
by rkimber＠ntlworld.com 24 Jun '04

24 Jun '04

I followed the instructions for installing the patched nvidia driver for my FX5200 with YOU, but I just get a brief nvidia flash screen and then the screen goes blank and my LCD monitor switches off. The "nv" driver works fine, though I had to go into rescue mode to restore it. "Failsafe" doesn't work and just hangs the machine after a lot of hex messages scroll up the screen ending with "console shuts up". I'd be grateful for help with either of these problems. - Richard. -- Richard Kimber http://www.psr.keele.ac.uk/

RE: [suse-amd64] Trying to install the nvidia driver
by Creamer, Mark 24 Jun '04

24 Jun '04

I've been reading some of these nvidia threads, and I wonder if I've just gotten lucky up to now. I have a Nvidia 5700LE, and so far have only done the YAST update. My graphics intensive games are running fine (e.g. Racer), and no problems with the "real work" apps either. Is there a particular application in which the weakness of this driver might show up? <mc>

'parted' bug
by Mathieu Schneilin 24 Jun '04

24 Jun '04

hello, Is there a 64-bit version of the fix for the parted bug that causes windows to become unbootable in dual-boot systems ? The bug description is at: http://portal.suse.com/sdb/en/2004/05/fhassel_windows_not_booting91.html The 32-bit version of the fix is at: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/9.1/misc/parted/ But there doesn't seem to be a similar fix under x86_64. Thanks, -Mathieu

Some problems on SuSE9.1/AMD64
by Jyh-Shyong Ho 24 Jun '04

24 Jun '04

Hi, I installed SuSE9.1 on my dual Opteron computer with TYAN2885. I have two problems and hope someone can help. 1. I am not able to install SuSE9.1 with NFS, the installer failed to load the network crad module, I tried bcm5700, tg3 and others from the network module list, with parameter set to eth0, the specified modules were not found by the installer. I wonder what might be the problem? I used both the downloaded boot image and a SuSE9.1 DVD for this installation. 2. After installed SuSE9.1 with the DVD, and I tried the beta version of a 3D visualization program Amira, I got the following error message: /usr/lib64/libGL.so.1 : no version information available Somehow the program does not pick up the version information of libGL.so.1 which does exist.

23 Jun '04

good day all ... ok, a clean install on my HDAMA dual 242 system works fine. i update to the current kernel via YOU this morning and now i have megaraid problems. boot sequence goes as: start udev creating devices loading scsi_mod.ko scsi subsystem init loading sd_mod.ko loading megaraid_mm.ko megaraid_mm: 1.0.0rc1 (release date monday may 17) loading megaraid.ko megaraid: ingnoring new style parameters ... megaraid: 2.20.0.rc1 (release date monday may 17) megaraid: probe new devices ... megaraid mailbox: status not available megaraid: inquiry3 failed megaraid: maibox adapter did not initialize ... loading reiserfs.ko then it tries to find the root filesystem on sd1 and fails because its on the raid array. is this a known lsi megaraid issuse, is there a workaround or fix? will loading one of the KOTD kernels help? -- michael
