updating to kernel 2.6.5-7.111
by James D. Parra 22 Feb '05

22 Feb '05

Hello, Installed 9.1 64 bit via ftp and updated to the latest kernel version, 2.6.5-7.145smp, but the 3Ware driver, 3w-9xxx, that loaded perfectly into kernel 2.6.5-7.111smp, now fails. How can I get and load the kernel 2.6.5-7.111smp and not the latest kernel? Thank you, James

Hello, Does a 64 bit boot.iso exist for 9.2 yet? If so, can someone point me to a mirror. Thank you, James

Thank you for the reply. The driver was downloaded from the 3ware site. It worked perfectly on the 2.6.5-7.111-smp kernel and the original default kernel that installed under 9.1 x86_64. How do I compile it to match this newer kernel? Thanks again. James -----Original Message----- From: Andi Kleen [mailto:ak@suse.de] Sent: Monday, February 21, 2005 4:24 PM To: James D.

adding a module for new hardware- 2.6.5-7.145-smp kernel
by James D. Parra 22 Feb '05

22 Feb '05

Hello, I have added the 3w-9xxx.ko driver to many computers (SuSE 9.1) with the 2.6.5-7.111-smp kernel flawlessly, however when I try to add it the 2.6.5-7.145-smp kernel I get the following error: 3w_9xxx: no version for "struct_module" found: kernel tainted. 3w_9xxx: unsupported module, tainting kernel.

I haven't worked with PCMCIA to USB bridges yet, so I do not exactly know what to expect. I'm just guessing now, but what you could do is to make the memory and port ranges smaller. For a start, reduce it to the values you took from winXP only. Nothing else. Or you could load the module used by pcmcia for the usb bridge manually. I don't know how it's called now, I'm not at the notebook now. Look up the name of the module in the /etc/pcmcia/config file. (This is the way I get the Axen / Sagem GPRS card to work.) Then the next step would be to have a look at the PCMCIA mailing list and see if you find something there. May be the developers can guide you through debugging. This is not just said like that, I did find there the info which enabled me to get the Sierra Wireless aircard working on my amd64 notebook. Nice challenge. Good luck!

RE: [suse-amd64] [Announce] 9.2 AMD64 Install CD with New Kernel
by Ronald Lau 21 Feb '05

21 Feb '05

Hi! As far as I can tell, this patch CD fixes the issue with my nvidia sata controller (nForce 250) and built in ethernet. BUT, since I still havent been able to scratch enough cash to get a DVD drive, I still cannot install SuSe 9.2. Is there a way to make it use an FTP/NFS site/dir instead of the 9.2 DVD? I lready tried just setting the source to ftp, but that ignores the updates on the patch CD. Or am I missing/ignorant of something? Thanks for all your help. R. -----Original Message----- From: Andreas Jaeger To: suse-amd Sent: 2/11/2005 12:20 AM Subject: [suse-amd64] [Announce] 9.2 AMD64 Install CD with New Kernel 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...

USB Printer Problem
by Ric Tibbetts 21 Feb '05

21 Feb '05

All; Okay, here's major problem #2. Hooked to the new computer is my old reliable printer, Epson Stylus Photo 785EPX (USB). The computer: Suse 9.2 AMD 64 AMD Athlon 64 3600+ ASUS A8N-SLi Deluxe mobo 1 GB Corsair XMS DDR 400 memory 2x 12gb Maxtor 120gb SATA hd Sony CD-RW DVD ide (reader) Plextor PX-712SA DVD-RW SATA BFG GeForce 6800 GT OC The problem: The printer,.. doesn't. It just does nothing. I've tried it while booted in a different OS (the box is multi boot), and it works just fine, so the problem is not hardware related. If I use Yast2 to configure it, the printer is correctly identified, which means that it IS talking to the system. The printer also shows up correctly in hwinfo. But when I hit "test" .. nothing comes out. At all. I set loglevel in cups.conf to debug, and debug2 trying to capture an error message, but there's nothing. It simply doesn't print. I'm lost on this one. Printing has always been a simple configuration issue in the past. This one is just puzzling. I'd really appreciate a hand with this. Thanks in advance! -Ric
