Has anyone else had difficulty with this? My 9.2 has the drivers already: nathan:/usr/src/linux # find . -type f| xargs grep -i 150-6 ./drivers/pci/pci.ids: 1000 0523 MegaRAID SATA 150-6 RAID Controller ./drivers/scsi/megaraid/Kconfig.megaraid: LSI MegaRAID SATA 150-6 1000:1960:1000:0523 ./drivers/scsi/megaraid/megaraid_mbox.c: * LSI MegaRAID SATA 150-6 10001960 1000 0523 I'd recheck the PCI IDs. "won't load" is a too blurry error message to be helpful. What _exactly_ happens? -> /var/log/messages / dmesg. ~ Thank you for your response. This was noticed during a fresh install of 9.2. Went to Yast to discover that, although the card was detected under Disk Controllers, the "Module to use" was i20_pci with "Module parameters" of abdef. Oddly, why isn't the megaraid module being used? Tried to install the megaraid module by typing it in the "Module to use" section, but that doesn't work. Attempting to insmod megaraid from the source directory didn't work either. >From dmesg I get the following; I2O Core - (C) Copyright 1999 Red Hat Software i2o: max_drivers=4 i2o: Checking for PCI I2O controllers...

Maybe I am not using the correct syntax to insert the module, although I am not sure why the megaraid modules weren't loaded during install. Thank you again for your reply. Much obliged, James

HP 6110 on 64bit
by Colin Carter 01 Apr '05

01 Apr '05

Hi, I cannot use the scanner on my hp 6110 combination FACS, printer, scanner, copier. (The printer is fine, the copier is stand alone, and I don't use the FACS.) SANE produces the message "no device available". The help and documentation implies that the "backend" may not be installed. I cannot find the mentioned module sane-dll. I understand the idea that a "backend" is required, but I have no idea how to test/provide for same. I checked the hpoj web site but cannot determine which driver I ought to use, and there appears to be no mention of a 64 bit version. I am running SuSE 9.1 on AMD64. Thanks for any ideas. Regards, Colin

I had similar problems until I realised that there was another firefox window running on another workspace throughout the update. It seems that the update replaces in-use files and the running version doesn't spot that they've changed. The solution (for me at least) was to exit ALL firefox sessions (check using ps) then restart.

Again me and powernowd
by zio budda 01 Apr '05

01 Apr '05

Hi, I'm here again. Yesterday I have read and read and I have found that if I stop powernowd deamon and #echo 800000 >/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_setspeed My CPU go to 800Mhz and stopped it to 800Mhz. If i start powernowd deamon the cpu go immediately to 2000Mhz and never under this value. I think that is a problem with configuration of powernowd deamon. Any help ? Any more info to give to you ? tnx tnx

It's pushing it. I've seen my AMD64 notebook hug that temperature a few times, but that is only when I have it runnung high intense apps with it unplugged or in charging state due to battery heat; running at 100% capacity at all times. You may want to have the cooling system and fan checked out. JD
