include/asm/apic.h:47: warning: value computed is not used
by Frank Steiner 11 Jan '06

Hi, I'm not sure if this belongs here or on the opensuse mailing list: I'm re-compiling the kernel for OpenSuSE 10.1 alpha4 on both i386 and x86_64 hosts. Works fine on the i386 host, but on the x86_64 host (recompiling the default SuSE kernel for x86_64 with just some filesystems compiled in) I get this error message for almost every file that is compiled: CC arch/x86_64/kernel/time.o In file included from include/asm/smp.h:22, from include/linux/irq.h:13, from include/asm/hardirq.h:6, from include/linux/hardirq.h:7, from include/linux/interrupt.h:11, from arch/x86_64/kernel/time.c:18: include/asm/apic.h: In function â: include/asm/apic.h:47: warning: value computed is not used CC kernel/printk.o In file included from include/asm/smp.h:22, from include/linux/irq.h:13, from include/asm/hardirq.h:6, from include/linux/hardirq.h:7, from include/linux/interrupt.h:11, from include/linux/rcuref.h:36, from include/linux/fs.h:12, from include/linux/mm.h:15, from kernel/printk.c:20: include/asm/apic.h: In function â: include/asm/apic.h:47: warning: value computed is not used ... and so on. Is this something to worry about? An indication that I've configured sth. wrong? Even if it's not serious, can I get rid of this some way to make the log readable again?

Recomendations
by David 10 Jan '06

I have a question this group may be able to help me with. I would like a modern laptop that is small and lightweight. I would like to run 64 bit SuSE on this laptop with no configuration problems. I would like it to have wireless capabilities. I currently have a HP pressario zx5000 with AMD Athlon. It works pretty well but is very heavy. The builtin wireless is broadcom and the only drivers are from linuxant at a price. I would like to just put in the DVD and install and have things work without surfing the web to finish up the pieces. Is there a laptop someone could recomend? David

Install 10 on SIS sata drives
by Richard Bragg 10 Jan '06

10 Jan '06

I pulled an install ISO for 64 bit version and it installs OK on ASROCK K8S8X mobo with 160Gb SATA HD. The problem occurs on updating the kernel. Then it boots but can't see the HD partitions to get load properly. -- Q: How many heterosexual males does it take to screw in a light bulb in San Francisco? A: Both of them.

libtiff-devel
by Dave Howorth 09 Jan '06

09 Jan '06

I have a couple of questions about linking libtiff on an AMD64 system. Some libraries have a -devel-32bit variant enabling the linking of 32-bit applications. For example ncurses does, but others don't. Specifically, on an AMD64 Suse 9.3 system, libtiff-devel provides /usr/lib64/libtiff.so. But what package provides /usr/lib/libtiff.so for linking 32-bit applications? Is there a general policy that enables one to deduce whether or not there is/should be a -devel-32bit package? Also, the description of libtiff says "To link a program with libtiff, you will have to add -ljpeg and -lz to include the necessary libjpeg and libz in the linking process." But libtiff-devel does not require libjpeg-devel. Is this a (minor) bug? Thanks and regards, Dave Howorth

Install Trouble: no hard disks found
by suse＠randycushman.com 08 Jan '06

08 Jan '06

I am attempting to install openSuSE 10.0 on a new system I've assembled: ASUS A8S-X motherboard (firmware revision 0703) AMD Athlon 64 X2 4400+ NEC ND-3550A IDE DVD writer etc. I have followed the instructions at http://www.opensuse.org/Network_Installation_Source for mounting the ISOs and making them available for FTP installation. During the installation's System Analysis phase, I get the error "No hard disks were found for the installation. Please check your hardware!" The utility that came with my hard disks says all is well. The system has both ATA-100 and SATA-150 disks installed. (I didn't expect the install kernel to contain the driver for the onboard SATA chipset.) I've also tried installing SuSE 10.0 Eval from DVD-R, but after loading the kernel I get an error reporting that the install media could not be found. (openSuSE gives a similar error, but at that point I manually provide the instructions for the FTP installation.) The following lines from the "ALT-F4" screen may be relevant: SIS5513: IDE controller at PCI clot 0000:00:02.5 SIS5513: chipset revision 1 SIS5513: not 100% native mode: will probe irqs later SIS_IDE: probe of 0000:00:02.5 failed with error -1 I suspect I am having trouble with the driver for the IDE controller. I've installed SuSE Linux before, but do not know how to deal with such issues. Do I need to add an updated driver to the installation? Where would I find the driver? Thanks, Randy

Compiling 32bit binaries on AMD64

gcc -march=i586 -c -o workman_stubs.o workman_stubs.c workman_stubs.c:1: error: CPU you selected does not support x86-64 instruction set Flags come from RPM_OPTS_FLAGS, via --target=i586 or --target=i586-suse-linux. Googling indicates there is some 32bit gcc backend needed, but these are installed: cpp-4.0.2_20050901-3 gcc-32bit-4.0.2_20050901-3 gcc-4.0.2_20050901-3 glibc-32bit-2.3.5-40 glibc-devel-32bit-2.3.5-40 libgcc-4.0.2_20050901-3 Linux xx 2.6.13-15.7-default #1 Tue Nov 29 14:32:29 UTC 2005 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux The trick appears to be to use a -m32 as well.

Errors relating to resmgrd
by Constantine 'Gus' Fantanas 05 Jan '06

05 Jan '06

Hi, After doing some updates to my 64-bit SuSE 10, I've been getting errors relating to the resurce manager. Here is a snippet of the syslogs, with some messages which may not be related to this problem: ------------SNIP------------------- Jan 4 17:41:38 presario rcpowersaved: enter 'powernow_k8' into CPUFREQD_MODULE in /etc/sysconfig/powersave/cpufreq. Jan 4 17:41:38 presario rcpowersaved: this will speed up starting powersaved and avoid unnecessary warnings in syslog. Jan 4 17:41:41 presario ifup: No configuration found for sit0 Jan 4 17:41:45 presario kdm: :0[4914]: resmgr: unable to connect to resmgrd: Connection refused Jan 4 17:41:45 presario kdm: :0[4914]: resmgr login failed Jan 4 17:41:45 presario hp: unable to open /var/run/hpiod.port: No such file or directory: prnt/hpijs/hplip_api.c 75 Jan 4 17:42:04 presario kmixctrl [kdeinit] --restore: resmgr: unable to connect to resmgrd: Connection refused [Repeated many more times with the same time stamp] Jan 4 17:42:08 presario kmix [kdeinit] -session 10d1e4cee2000112928105400000072270018_1136398588_419759: resmgr: unable to connect to resmgrd: Connection refused [Repeated many more times with the same timestamp] ---------------------------END OF SNIPPET-------------------------------------- When my KDE starts up, it tells me that the powersaved dæmon is not running (while I am quite certain it actually is running) and that I should start it for better performance. Can somebody make sense out of all this? Could this affect ALSA and the sharing of the sound card? TIA. Gus Fantanas

Dumb question...
by jerry bookter 04 Jan '06

04 Jan '06

Hi folks-- Not specifically SuSE-related, but I have a collection of Linux stuff whose filenames are all in uppercase. Is there some sort of utility that will go through each subdirectory recursively and convert all uppercase filenames to lowercase? TIA....

ASUS A8N-VM CSM and Suse 10.1 Alpha4
by Michal Schulz 04 Jan '06

04 Jan '06

Hello. Even the newest OpenSuSE 10.1 Alpha4 seems to have problems with the ASUS A8N-VM CSM mainboard and the SATA drives. As soon as APIC descriptor is added to ACPI tables (set in BIOS, I need it to run 64-bit windows xp) the SATA drive hands during linux boot. Syslog says that the command timeout occurs. When I however disable APIC descriptor, linux seems to work almost well. The only nerving thing is the following message from kernel: Bad page state at free_hot_cold_page (in process 'knotify', page ffff8100015df748) flags:0x4000000000000414 mapping:0000000000000000 mapcount:0 count:0 Backtrace: Call Trace:<ffffffff8015c571>{bad_page+113} <ffffffff8015c917>{free_hot_cold_page+119} <ffffffff80166e3e>{unmap_vmas+1118} <ffffffff801697bd>{unmap_region+173} <ffffffff8016ab28>{do_munmap+568} <ffffffff8017880c>{__fput+332} <ffffffff8016af22>{sys_munmap+82} <ffffffff8010e94a>{system_call+126} Trying to fix it up, but a reboot is needed Any hint how can I make SATA stable when the APIC descriptor in ACPI tables is activated? -- Telefonieren Sie schon oder sparen Sie noch?
