RE: [suse-amd64] Suse, Nvidia, and Intel EM64T ?

No HD found in 9.2? Is your sata controller by nvidia? Does your motherboard use the nForce 3 250 chipset? You are not alone. 9.1 will install find the sata HD, and so will some other distros, but not 9.2. Maybe someone can tell us why.

Compiling DPT_I2O for 9.2 x86_64
by Charles Smith 27 Jan '05

27 Jan '05

Hello, I have a dual Opteron 146 system which happens to have an Adaptec (DPT) SmartRAID V Controller that I have installed SuSE 9.2 (64bit) on. Is there any way to build the 64bit kernel with the dpt_i2o module? I know !64BIT is a dependency, but the release notes for the module mention having at least some 64bit support.. Bueller? I couldn't find a reference to someone doing this anywhere on the list or otherwise, so maybe it is impossible, but I would like to believe it isn't. Thanks, -Charles Smith Systems Administration, Cycorp, Inc.

NIS Server - multiple domains
by Chiu, PCM (Peter) 27 Jan '05

27 Jan '05

A couple of questions on NIS: a. is it possible to use a single (master) server to serve multiple NIS domains on the same physical network? b. can a slave server serve multiple NIS domains too as a fallback? Thanks. Peter

Hi. Same controller, same problem. Suse 9.1 will see the sata HD, but not the on board ethernet.

SerialATA disk (again)

I send this message again, as I have gotten an e-mail that it might have not been delivered. If it had, I apologise. "Did anybody encounter any problems with installing SuSE 9.2 x86_64 on a system with a SerialATA HD? I have a Seagate Barracuda 120GB on SerialATA as my only disk, and SuSE fails to install (in yast I get a message that no disks had been found). I have tried normal, ACPI-less and failsafe installation modes with RAID Enabled, then Disabled in BIOS. I could not find any "Compatybility mode" or similar BIOS option though. sata_nv module loads nice and easy, but: ata1: no disks found ata2: ata failed to reply within 30sec (these are what I remembered - if those messages are not precise enough, I shall get the exact ones when I try to install SuSE again). The system: Athlon64 2800+ Gigabyte K8Triton 2x256 DDR400 GF FX5500 Seagate Barracuda 120GB SerialATA The disk is fine, as I have a WinXP installed and running on it; it's partitioned as follows: 20GB (20480MB) - NTFS (WinXP) ~100GB unallocated/unformatted - this is the space for GNU/Linux, as it is to be the main system."
