Autologin is dumping me to a login page with an xconsole with these 2 msgs: ACPI-400: warning: invalid active threshold [0], & cpu_init done, current fid 0x0, vid 0x0. Can't get past it, i.e. login. The 1st has to do with setting a temp (according to dmesg) haven't had time to look up the second but, I'll get to it. just found how to find temp info: cd /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THRM cat temperature cat trip_points How to change or set them & make them permanent when I reinstall? How do I set fid & vid when I reinstall?

lastest cyrus-sasl-32bit update
by Dan Wilson 23 Apr '05

23 Apr '05

I recently upgraded my cyrus-sasl-32bit package to the 9-200502182129 version, but I lost the 'LOGIN' smtp authentication mechanism. I then downgraded back to the 9-200410081851 version but that didn't help. Has anyone else experienced this? Or does anyone know any additional debugging I can do?

Update 9.2-->9.3
by JohnCraig01＠netscape.net 22 Apr '05

22 Apr '05

Hi, We just got in a dual Opteron server (from Verari Systems) with SuSE 9.2 pre-installed. On the same day, the SuSE 9.3 arrived, so I decided to upgrade before it goes into service. Booting from the DVD (connected via USB to the machine), it failed to recognize the SCSI RAID1 array that the OS (9.2) was installed on. I then booted normally and went into YaST, and changed the installation source to the 9.3 DVD, and did a system update. That seemed to run normally, and after reboot, the system comes up as SuSE 9.3. But, when I go to Online Update, it still thinks the product is 9.2 and looks for 9.2 updates. Question: Where is the product defined for YOU, and why does it not see that 9.3 is aleardy installed, and look for 9.3 updates?

SUSE 9.3 live DVD and sata drives
by Richard Bragg 20 Apr '05

20 Apr '05

I've downloaded this beast and it does run on my hardware. Question though is how to show that the real thing will work and not stop on loading the sata_sis.ko module as 9.2 does. What's needed is some sort of boot CD that just does that like the patch CD for 9.2 so can test if it will get further than 9.2. -- Chapter 1 The story so far: In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.

Help - Suse 9.2 installation on HP xw9300
by Ken Siersma 20 Apr '05

20 Apr '05

Hi there. I'm lucky enough to have been tasked with the installation of Suse 9.2 on an HP xw9300 workstation. This is a nice machine - dual 250 Opterons 8 GB RAM Nvidia Quadro FX3400 250 GB SATA HD The board is based on the nForce Professional 2200 chipset. I'm having a heck of a time getting 9.2 installed. This is what I do - I have the Suse 9.2 distribution on an IDE drive that I have connected to the machine. I boot with a CD burned with the SUSE-Linux-9.2-mini-installation.iso disk from 29 November 2004, which as far as I can tell is the most recent version of that file. In the installation, a number of things can go wrong. Most involve problems with the nForce chipset, I believe. I choose 'Manual Installation', load the sata_nv module (which it often chokes on - I am not passing any parameters for that module, and often while it says 'Trying to load module "sata_nv", the machine will freeze up and I can only hard reset it - I can't do an Alt-F4 to see what is going on in the kernel.), and load the ext3 module (because that's what's on my /dev/hdb1). If it makes it past the sata_nv loading, everything goes fine until it tries to mount my root partition for installation. I get a 'Could not mount partition /dev/sda2 to /mnt' error. If I flip to a console and try to mount /dev/sda2 /mnt, I get a 'mount: Invalid argument' error. The kernel logs say: ReiserFS: sda2: found reiserfs format "3.6" with standard journal ReiserFS: sda2: using ordered data mode reiserfs: using flush barriers ReiserFS: sda2: journal params: device sda2, size 8192, journal first block 18, max trans len 1024, max batch 900, max commit age 30, max trans age 30 ReiserFS: sda2: checking transaction log (sda2) ReiserFS: sda2: warning: journal-837: IO error during journal replay ReiserFS: sda2: warning: Replay Failure, unable to mount ReiserFS: sda2: warning: sh-2022: reiserfs_fill_super: unable to initialize journal space I've tried using Ext3 for my root partition as well, but I get other problems - a InstTarget: E_RpmDB_not_open error on the first package it tries to install. I hope someone can help... Thanks, Ken

SuSE 9.3 on Fujitsu Siemens V810
by drha/sek 20 Apr '05

20 Apr '05

Hi, -- is anyone out there who has successfully installed and run SuSE 9.3 on a FSC V810 Celsius Opteron 250, 2 CPU with 8 GM Memory and Bios 1.07? We think of updating from SuSE 9.0, Kernel 2.4.21-280, so my questions are: - Is the Kernel Panic issue which we experienced with SuSE 9.2 (and was also reported on this list) resolved in 9.3? - are Nvidia FX 4000 graphics cards running in accel mode on X.org 6.x? - any other known issues? Thanks, regards, chr.hartmann

X does work - I had to pass the 'noapic' option to Grub, but it does indeed work with direct rendering enabled. Unfortunately, my OpenGL application is quite flaky on this machine. Frequently, it will stop drawing the scene. It appears to me that the buffers are not getting swapped. If I resize the window, the OpenGL app will return to normal, for a while. Then it will stop drawing again. Also, the app will hesitate intermittenly. This app works flawlessly on other cards, using the same Nvidia driver. The main difference I see is that this QuadroFX card is a PCI-Express card. I know historically AGP is preferred over PCI, but what about this PCI-Express? Are their any known tweaks for a PCI-Express nvidia card? I am getting what I think is good FPS with glxgears -> in the 39500s. Seems really good, actually. But my app is not so great... Any ideas?

PCMCIA Wireless card

I have been trying to get a second wireless card to work in my hp laptop with a 64 AMD. I have not been successful at all. I have found that I believe that SuSE is mis detecting the orinoco gold card that I am trying to use. When that card is plugged in I get the following. When it is not plugged in these lines are not in the system log. Apr 18 16:50:55 DsHP cardmgr[6463]: executing: 'modprobe memory_cs 2>&1' Apr 18 16:50:55 DsHP cardmgr[6463]: + FATAL: Module memory_cs not found.

SuSE 9.3 + OpenOffice + ghostscript -> segfault?
by Bastian Friedrich 18 Apr '05

18 Apr '05

Hi, after installing SuSE 9.3 on my machine on saturday, I'm no longer able to print documents which were generated in OpenOffice 2.0 (beta). During printing, ghostscript segfaults; I get these logs in /var/log/messags: Apr 18 16:26:55 han kernel: gs[14535]: segfault at 000000000000cdf0 rip 000000000062377d rsp 00007fffffffd290 error 4 Printing to file and then printing that file does not work, either: even "gv <myfile.ps>" does not work due to that segfault. I have installed SuSE 9.2's ghostscript RPMs; printing seems to work, but a couple of fonts look really ugly... Oh, an installation on my laptop (32bit) works fine, of course :( My questions: - Is anybody able to print from within OpenOffice on a SuSE 9.3? I.e.: is it just me[tm], or do we have a "real" problem (that should be submitted to SuSE's feedback)? - Can you confirm this problem? - Does anybody have a solution for the problem? A quick "same problem here" or "no problem here" message would be fine :) Thx/Cheers, Bastian -- Bastian Friedrich bastian(a)bastian-friedrich.de Adress & Fon available on my HP http://www.bastian-friedrich.de/ \~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\ \ To test a man's character, give him power.

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

Kde3.3 on 9.2
by Yoriaki FUJIMORI 17 Apr '05

17 Apr '05

Dear listers, Sorry for that my question may not be specific to AMD64. Recently I upgraded from 9.1 to 9.2 on one of my PCs, and I got a Kde3.3 runing on it. I plan to use this PC as a GM terminal, and set up the sound. When I went on to Control_Center->Sound_n_multimedia I noticed that there is no mixer menu there. One of draw back for this is that I cannot save the current volume setting. It is inconvenient that I have to start setting volume levels whenever I start my session. Thanks in advance for any clue or pointers. yoriaki fujimori

I'm try to install SLES 9 x86 64Bit on AMD ATHLON-64 2800+ (ADA2800) 512K/ 800МГц BOX Socket-754 Micro-Star MS-7032 K8M Neo-V Socket754 <VIA K8M800> AGP+SVGA+LAN SATA HDD 120 Gb SATA150 Seagate Barracuda 7200.7 with using CD1 SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server 9 Service Pack 1 for AMD64 and Intel EM64T. Is SATA determination as /dev/hda normal (not /dev/sda)? I'm try with boot option hda=none (/dev/hda not detected, confirmed driver activation for sata_via, error - no hard disks were found for the installation) and without this option (hard disk is detected as /dev/hda). Thank you, Valery.

i586 and i686 RPMs on x86_64
by Karsten Weiss 14 Apr '05

Hello! Is it possible to (automatically) create a list of the i586 and i686 RPMs of the (unified) SuSE 9.2 or 9.3 installation DVDs which could possibly be used on a x86_64 installation? E.g. acroread and OpenOffice only exist as i586 RPMs and they are used on a x86_64 system. However, the kernel-bigsmp i586.rpm obviously doesn't make much sense on x86_64. Thanks, Karsten -- __________________________________________creating IT solutions Dipl.-Inf.
