SUSE 9.3 (x86_64) installation on Fujitsu Siemens CELSIUS V810
by Rainer Koenig 26 Apr '05

26 Apr '05

Hi there, today I encountered a kernel panic during installation of SUSE 9.3 on our V810 dual opteron workstation. This bug occured only when more than 4 GB of RAM were installed. I found a workaround that does it on the latest BIOS (R1.07.1692): The problem can be solved by changing BIOS settings under "Advanced/Chipset". The setting for "Node Memory Interleave" has to change from the default "Disabled" to "Auto" which will also cause the setting "ACPI SRAT table" to switch from "enabled to disabled". After this the system boots fine also with more than 4 GB RAM. Best regards Rainer König -- Dipl.-Inf.

Sager NP4750 AMD 64-bit laptop with Suse 9.3, Problem
by Col Jim Creech 24 Apr '05

24 Apr '05

With my new Sager NP4750 AMD 64-bit laptop with Suse 9.3, autologin is dumping me to a login page with an xconsole with these 2 msgs: ACPI-400: Warning: invalid active threshold [0], and cpu_init done, current fid 0x0, vid 0x0. After 2 to 3 logins I can't get past it, i.e. login. DMESG reads: ACPI: cpu0 power states: c1 (c1 c2 (c2) ACPI-400 ***Warning: invalid active threshold [0] ACPI: Thermal Zone [THRM] 53degC (note: this was immediately after install.) powernow-k8 found 1 amd Athlon/opteron processors (version 1.00.09e) powernow: 0: fid 0x10(2400Mhz), vid 0x2 (1500mv) powernow: 1: fid 0xc (2000Mhz), vid 0xa (1300mv) powernow: 2: fid 0xa (1800Mhz), vid 0xe (1200mv) powernow: 3: fid 0x0 (800Mhz), vid 0x12 (1100mv) cpuinit done, current fid 0x0, vid 0x0 ACPI-400 ***Warning: invalid active threshold [0] The Sager NP4750 AMD 64-bit laptop BIOS/Advanced Menu/Installed OS offers two choices winxp/win2000 or other. I have tried both with the exact same results. I believe that the 1st error message has to do with setting a temp in trip_points. just found how to find temp info: cd /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THRM cat temperature temperature 36degC cat trip_points was something like 155:0:110:0:0 How do I change or set them & make them permanent when I reinstall? Next, how do I set the proper fid & vid when I reinstall? Is there a kernel patch that I need that will force fid,vid? Other solution possible? I am a novice at fixing kernels, so please point me to a good howto if this is the route that I have to take. Thanks for thinking on this. Jim

bttv crash/freeze (Twinhan and similar)
by Bernd Paysan 24 Apr '05

24 Apr '05

Hi, The bttv driver in kernel 2.6.11 contains a deadly bug. It freezes the system when loaded (with cards like Twinhan Vision Plus). Fortunately, the linuxtv team has found the culprit, a superfluous bttv_reset_audio. The patch (as attached) is rather small, and works fine. Please integrate it into the kernel, and provide an update. -- Bernd Paysan "If you want it done right, you have to do it yourself" http://www.jwdt.com/~paysan/

lastest cyrus-sasl-32bit update

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?
