install fails with "/dev/ram2: unknown fs type"
by Rene Salmon 17 Apr '05

17 Apr '05

Hi list, I have a strange problem. I have an IBM e325 server with two opteron chips on it. We installed SUSE 9.1 on this machine with out any problems and it works great. We just purchased SLES 9 and now we are trying to install SLES 9 on the machine but the install fails. The machine boots and starts the install and gets to the point where it start to load the RAM disk with this message on the screen. "Loading data into Ram disk 57950 KB" Then on the console I see this message Loading image "/var/adm/mount/boot/root" /dev/ram2: unknown fs type mount: /dev/ram2: no such device and right after this I get put on the "Main Menu" of the install program and can not continue from here. Any ideas why Suse 9.1 installs with no problems but SLES 9 does not? We are really happy with SuSe 9.1 but we have to switch to SLES 9 in order to get support from IBM. Thank you for any help on this. Rene

Hi, we have two machines with MSI K8N Neo Platinum mainboards and USB hotplugging doesn't work. Has anybody got it working with 9.2?

[Announce] 9.2 AMD64 Install CD with New Kernel
by Andreas Jaeger 23 Mar '05

23 Mar '05

I'm currently uploading to ftp.suse.com (will soon be also on its mirrors) at: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/aj/PatchCD The ISO is called: SuSE-9.2-PatchCD-1-RC3-CD1.iso If you have experienced installation problems with our 9.2 DVD, then download this CD and boot from it. It will ask you then for "CD1", and just insert the DVD at that point. During installation it will load packages from CD1 several times... This PatchCD has two advantages: * Installation with a new kernel. If you had problems installing with the DVD, please try it this way. * All the updated packages are installed directly. You can also download the CD and start "PatchCD" in YaST to only install the updated packages. Note the packages and the kernel are from before Christmas, so we have some more updates out since then... Hope this helps, Andreas -- Andreas Jaeger, aj(a)suse.de, http://www.suse.de/~aj SUSE Linux Products GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GPG fingerprint = 93A3 365E CE47 B889 DF7F FED1 389A 563C C272 A126

AW: [suse-amd64] mjpegtools

Hi Mike the answer is : recompile with -fPIC put this option (-fPIC) in every Makefile of this project as a CFLAG . In german you find the docu http://www.pseudonym.org/schauen.html, than look for mjpeg on this page.

SCSI Problem on Tyan S2882 Motherboard
by A N Saravanaraj 17 Mar '05

17 Mar '05

Hello Everybody, I have been running SuSe 9.1 pro (installed all latest updates) for AMD64 on my S2882 motherboard with two opteron processors for a long time (8-months) without any major problem. The system hard drive is an ide drive. I have a promise sx6000 external raid array attached to the on-board SCSI on chanel A and a VXA2 tape drive on chanel B. Last thursday night the machine ran into trouble with the scsi part. The scsi devices were not accessible and the kernel put out the following in the messages file. Feb 26 04:08:35 raid1lac kernel: scsi0: At time of recovery, card was not paused Feb 26 04:08:35 raid1lac kernel: >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Dump Card State Begins <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Feb 26 04:08:35 raid1lac kernel: scsi0: Dumping Card State at program address 0x11 Mode 0x33 Feb 26 04:08:35 raid1lac kernel: Card was paused Feb 26 04:08:35 raid1lac kernel: HS_MAILBOX[0x0] INTCTL[0x80]:(SWTMINTMASK) SEQINTSTAT[0x0] Feb 26 04:08:35 raid1lac kernel: SAVED_MODE[0x11] DFFSTAT[0x33]:(CURRFIFO_NONE|FIFO0FREE|FIFO1FREE) Feb 26 04:08:35 raid1lac kernel: SCSISIGI[0x0]:(P_DATAOUT) SCSIPHASE[0x0] SCSIBUS[0x0] Feb 26 04:08:35 raid1lac kernel: LASTPHASE[0x1]:(P_DATAOUT|P_BUSFREE) SCSISEQ0[0x0] Feb 26 04:08:35 raid1lac kernel: SCSISEQ1[0x12]:(ENAUTOATNP|ENRSELI) SEQCTL0[0x0] SEQINTCTL[0x0] Feb 26 04:08:35 raid1lac kernel: SEQ_FLAGS[0xc0]:(NO_CDB_SENT|NOT_IDENTIFIED) SEQ_FLAGS2[0x0] Feb 26 04:08:35 raid1lac kernel: SSTAT0[0x0] SSTAT1[0x8]:(BUSFREE) SSTAT2[0x0] SSTAT3[0x0] Feb 26 04:08:35 raid1lac kernel: PERRDIAG[0x0] SIMODE1[0xa4]:(ENSCSIPERR|ENSCSIRST|ENSELTIMO) Feb 26 04:08:35 raid1lac kernel: LQISTAT0[0x0] LQISTAT1[0x0] LQISTAT2[0x0] LQOSTAT0[0x0] Feb 26 04:08:35 raid1lac kernel: LQOSTAT1[0x0] LQOSTAT2[0x0] .................. .............. ........ The system works fine after I reboot the computer and the raid array. I am not sure wether the scsi card is going bad or is it the raid array going bad. Could anybody tell me what is exactly happening here or how I should go about figuring our what has went bad. Thank You -Raj

9.2 & Asus A8V-E deluxe install
by Carl Zeilon 28 Feb '05

28 Feb '05

I'm trying to install 9.2 x86_64 into my new machine. It's configured with a single SATA drive & the BIOS is set to treat it as an IDE drive. I also have a NV6600GT PCI express video card. I'm attempting a network FTP install. The install always hangs just as YAST is activated. I see the floppy drive light come on for a moment, the system speaker beeps once, & then blank screen. The virtual consoles (ctl/alt/F1-F6) work & show the YAST started message. Ctl/alt/del reboots the machine as well so the machine is not hung, just the installation. I've tried the 32 bit as well with the exact same result. Knoppix runs OK with the hard drive mounted properly and all, so I don't think it's an issue with the hard drive configuration or my Samsung LCD. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

nvidia driver?
by David Lazanja 28 Feb '05

28 Feb '05

Cheers, I have an NVidia GeForceFX 5200 / 256MB AGP card. It's identified as NVidia 0x0322 (nv) by Yast->Graphics Card and Monitor (sax2). I'm using SuSE 9.2. The open source driver, nv, works great. I downloaded and installed the nvidia driver with YOU. It works but there is one problem. It will not use the 1280x1024 native resolution of my 17" flat panel. When I tried to reconfigure the card, it allowed me to select the 1280x1024 resolution (and all lower resolutions were chosen as well). However, when I restart the X server I can only get 1280x960. This of course doesn't look so hot and a flat panel that natively does 1280x1024. The nv driver correctly uses the 1280x1024 res. Instead of configuring with sax2, I also tried to use the original xorg.conf file for the nv driver and replace "nv" by "nvidia". That still didn't correct the resolution problem. I wanted to know if anybody else had a similar situation with nvidia and if there's a simple quick fix. Thanks David -- # Department of Applied Physics and Applied Mathematics # Columbia University

PearPC
by Edwin Heath 28 Feb '05

28 Feb '05

Hi all, Anyone out there tried using PearPC? I would like to be able to compile 32 bit binaries for it on my 9.2 AMD64 box, I tried all sorts of combinations but the best I could get was a segfault :( using: espresso:/home/eheath/Downloads/pearpc-0.3.1 # CFLAGS=-m32 espresso:/home/eheath/Downloads/pearpc-0.3.1 # export CFLAGS espresso:/home/eheath/Downloads/pearpc-0.3.1 # echo $CFLAGS -m32 espresso:/home/eheath/Downloads/pearpc-0.3.1 # linux32 ./configure --libdir=/usr/lib --enable-cpu=jitc_x86 --enable-ui=sdl make make install It runs pretty well if I copy a 32 bit binary from a 32 bit box but I'm having issues with networking and want to try a few different builds from CVS. Any pointers would be much appreciated. Cheers Ed

32 bit libavc on 64 bit SuSE?
by Alex Angerhofer 28 Feb '05

28 Feb '05

Hi List, I am trying to get mainactor to behave on on my SuSE 9.2 64 bit system. The only missing link I have is now libavc1394. It is installed per default in its 64 bit form. Mainactor is a 32 bit application and will need to have access to the 32 bit form of libavc. My question is this: If I pull the rpm from the 32 bit SuSE version and install it on top of my system, will it work? Will other things break? Best regards, Alex.
