Suse 9.2 installation on external HD
by Jaydeep Majumder 18 Feb '05

18 Feb '05

Hi everybody, I am having seriouy problem installing Suse 9.2(64-bit version). I have an external hard drive(a Seagate Barracuda 160 GB, 7200 RPM IDE HD put in a Nexstar USB hard dtive enclosure) connected to the USB port of my laptop(an AMD 64 system). My internal HD is not big enough, so this is why I am installing linux on an external HD. The problem is as follows : Once booted from the CD/DVD ROM drive, the suse 9.2 installation DVD gets stuck at a point showing the message "init.14 soft raid"; it gets stuck there forever. I have no RAID options on my laptop. If I disconnect the external HD, then there is no problem and Yast starts running immediately. I thought that since the external HD is not partitioned(I read it somewhere in linuxquestions.org forum), the installation CD can not read it. After I partitioned it from a linux environment running gentoo(80 GB with win95 FAT32 and 80GB with linux), I had the same problem. The installation gets stuck exactly at the same point. Next, I tried gentoo 2004.3 live CD; same thing here. It gets stuck at autoconfiguring the hardware section. Since external USB device appears as a SCSI emulated device to a linux system, I thought it's better to pass the 'noapic' option while booting. This time the gentoo live CD booted without hitch and the external HD was located at a strange place : /dev/ud/apart1 and /dev/ud/a/part2(I had two partitions). Encouraged with it, I booted the suse 9.2 DVD with 'noapic' option. This time I had no problem and Yast's graphical environment started quickly. But I found that the external disc is not detected. The only option I am left with is to partition my internal HD. This may have to do with the kernel. It loads the external HD as a removable USB device and apparently I can not install the OS there. Any help will be greatly appreciated. I spent the whole morning without any result. Thanks Jaydeep

Suse 9.2 amd64 and NFS service
by Ahmon Dancy 17 Feb '05

17 Feb '05

Has anyone successful used Suse 9.2 amd64 as an NFS server? My NFS clients are being denied access. rpc.mountd is doing new and interesting stuff with /proc/net/rpc/auth.unix.ip/channel and /proc/fs/nfsd/filehandle which seem to be the source of the problem.

Hello. Did someone succeed in installing the 64 bit version of SUSE Linux 9.2 on Simics 2.0? For me linuxrc segfaults immediately after being started from the installation media.

9.2 pro Installation fails on dual opteron
by Robert Brodén 14 Feb '05

14 Feb '05

Hi we've been runing SUSE 9.1 pro on a dual opteron HP proliant server (6Gb ram, 3 disk raid) but when we try to install 9.2 it fails misserable. No matter what i select (safe mode, no acpi, normal whatever) i get the same result, the server deadlocks with no video in the end of the kernal load, before showing the language select dialog(no way to talk to the server except for powercycling...) I really can't se why previously suported hardware suddenly isn't functional? Does enyone have any ideas upon how to get the 9.2 version installed?! Is it any use to try the enterprise server version or should we just switch back to ReadHat? (must have a stable & functional server within a week or so and the .local domain issue of 9.1 makes it unusable) Best regards // Robert

RE: [suse-amd64] SLES 9 iso to boot CD
by Irwin Hutchinson 14 Feb '05

14 Feb '05

An iso imaqe is instructions for what goes on your CD, like the recipe for a cake. If you put the receipe into the oven, you get burned paper. You have to follow the instructions on the receipe and put the result into the oven. What you are doing probably makes an iso image of the iso image and so puts the iso image on the CD. There is an option in K3B for burning iso images, poke around the menus to find it.

The RAID controller is recognised by the kernel, but my two SATA drives are non-RAID (so far), so I can't say how good its RAID implementation is. If I were you, I'd hang onto my cash until you've tested the onboard RAID. If you find you need a full-blown RAID card, there are three normal PCI slots on the mobo, so you shouldn't have any problems getting it to work. > I have got an old AVMB1 PCI ISDN card.

I'm using all three PCI slots (SCSI card, audio and TV) with no compatibility problems. > What graphics card do you recommend? 3d is nice to have but not > necessary. I went for a Radeon (ASUS EAX800XT PCI-Express), passing up the opportunity to make use of SLI because I've had hardware failures with identical symptoms from three different generations of GeForce cards. The first time I put down to bad luck and replaced the board. The second time it failed inside the warranty period and was replaced with the next generation. The third time was the last straw. > Good linux compatibility is more important. It should support old VGA and LCD > displays. I'm using the ATI proprietary driver, but if you don't need accelerated 3D, you can get by with the xorg's radeon driver. Note that I had to upgrade to xorg-x11-6.8.2rc3-2.1.x86_64 and its friends. The version on the 9.2 DVD wouldn't work with the ATI driver. I've used it with a CRT from VGA resolution up to 1920x1440@75 and with two LCDs 1280x1024 and 1920x1200 (nice) using both VGA and DVI ports. I had no problems with any set-up. > I am trying to build a system with good disk- and network-IO-performance and > CPU performance. I'm pleased with all of them so far (even without switching to stripy RAID). I get the feeling that the components are nicely balanced, so that no one component is causing a bottleneck. All previous PCs I've used have tended towards becoming either CPU or disk bound, but with 2Gb RAM, there is plenty of scope for buffering to let the CPU ease the disk burden. For a system containing such new components, I'm amazed I've not had any real headaches. Finally, to give some idea of the performance: CPU: a raytracing landscape generator I'm writing (not 3D-accelerated, so very CPU intensive) used to take around 20s per frame on my 512Mb Athlon 2200+ ASUS V8X system. The same scene now takes a shade over 2 seconds per frame. Memory: AFAIR, running memtest reported a memory bandwidth of around 2Gb/s. Disk: It's hard to quantify disk performance because I've not come close to filling the memory yet so there's lots of cached data lying around. All I can really say is that installing a whole bunch of RPMs is a *lot* quicker than my old system (using the same SATA drives) Summary: go for it.

Re: [suse-amd64] PCMCIA

Hello Matt I did a test by modifying the parameters of the port range in the config.opts. With the values given by "lspci -vv" (1) for the card bus, this is sure, the PCMCIA cards don't work. With the values given by WinXP (2) , they work. In details : (1) with lspci -vv : I/O window 0: 0000c000-0000c7ff I/O window 1: 0000c800-0000cfff ....... I/O window 0: 0000b000-0000b7ff I/O window 1: 0000b800-0000bfff These values put in the config.opts file : # d'apres lspci -vv, valeurs decomposees en 4 gammes include port 0xb000-0xb7ff include port 0xb800-0xbfff include port 0xc000-0xc7ff include port 0xc800-0xcfff (2) with Win XP, the values put in the config.opts file : # d'apres WinXP, valeurs decomposees en 4 gammes include port 0xcc00-0xccff include port 0xd000-0xd0ff include port 0xd400-0xd4ff include port 0xdc00-0xdcff For the two tested cases, the memory range is in the config.opts file the following : # d'apres WinXP : include memory 0xfa200000-0xfeafcfff These are the values given by Win XP such as : #include 0xfa200000-0xfa200fff #include 0xfb200000-0xfd1fffff #include 0xfd200000-0xfd200fff #include 0xfdaf5000-0xfeaf4fff #include 0xfeaf5000-0xfeaf5fff #include 0xfeaf6000-0xfeaf6fff #include 0xfeaf7000-0xfeaf7fff #include 0xfeafc000-0xfeafcfff If I use the values of the PCI bridge secondary=02 (include memory 0xf8a00000-0xfeafffff) or of the two Cardbus (include memory 0xf8a00000-0xfd1ff000) : it does not work. I know that this is very curious but I am sure now that this is the only way to get the PCMCIA card working. How to explain ? I don't know :-) ! Kind regards Pascal

Hi Laurent: Actually I have 3 Athlon 64 boxes,including my laptop, running fine with suse 9.2 with no errors. One of my motherboards is a K8V Deluxe with a 3200 Clawhammer CPU. I also have an acer Notebook Aspitr 1513lmi with an Nvidia chipset, before updating the bios I had several acpi and thermal problems problems. Maybe your cpu is a Newcastle core not very well recognized by the current BIOS so upgrade first!! it wouldn't do any harm if performed correctly! Normally the bios update should be performed from a rw media to allow you to save a backup of your current bios, so try with usb memory.

What SATA RAID controllers can you recommend? I have got an old AVMB1 PCI ISDN card. Will it work with the new board? What graphics card do you recommend? 3d is nice to have but not necessary.

Upgrade to 9.2 - please help

I'm trying to upgrade from 9.1 to 9.2, but have got stuck. Although there were a few minor-looking problems on the way (it would not install from the DVD and I had to start with CD1 and then insert the DVD when it complained about 32 vs 64 bit, and 6 packages failed to update: libgcj, libidu, libmikmod, screen, acroread, and java2-jre), the main installation seemed to complete properly. When it rebooted, however, it failed with a message saying that fsck had failed and that I should repair manually and reboot. However, e2fsk showed no errors when run manually on all partitions. Irritatingly, maintainance mode also crashes (at "Searching for info file ...") when run from the DVD and I've been using the CD. Where do I go from here?
