SuSE AMD 64 bit supports Intel "Core 2 Duo" ?
by Jean-Lin Pacherie 20 Aug '06

20 Aug '06

Is it politycaly correct to ask here if the new "Core 2 Duo" processors will be suported by SuSE 64bit ? I planed to build a server with AMD 64 x2 processor and / or Opteron 275 but the announces of the "Core 2 Duo" chnaged my mind. In any cases, I will keep SuSE on this new workstation but I need the best processor power. Any clue ? Thank's Jean-Lin

What I find is these apps: It's in the ivman package. -Andi

SuSE 10.1 hang
by Dimitar Georgiev Popov 09 Jul '06

09 Jul '06

Hello, I'm running SuSE 10.1 with the latest updates on Opteron 148, ASUS SK8N with nForce3 and 2x 512MB Super Talent DDR333 Registered ECC. I'm experiencing hangups - everything freezes and nothing can be done. I think it may be a hardware problem, because yesterday there were several thunderstorms, but I'm not aware where to look and what to look for in order to identify it. What have I done: - memtest says nothing for half an hour; may be I should let it work more time; - mcelog says nothing; - /var/log/messages has nothing suspicious; Any help will be appreciated. Many thanks, Mitko

The competition should be between the current performance king -the AMD Opteron- and the new Intel Xeon Woodcrest. Preliminary benchmarks show that the Woodcrest is faster than an Opteron 285, but we should wait until the new socket F Opteron shows up in a few weeks. The Intel Core 2 Duo is aimed to compete with the Athlon series.

That's the reasons why I'm still waiting for the release. And if the promises and pre-benchmarks were too optimistic, then at least I will benefit from the new prices of the AMD processors :) I must say that I didn't see any comparison of the new Core 2 Duo with the Opteron dual core. Only x2 (including the FX-60) where used in the comparative benchmarks. What I heard about the new AM2 solution from AMD didn't need much attention i far as i understood. Again, I'm not hardware expert and all I know on the subject is from googleling around. So I might be wrong.

Question

Hi everybody! I'm recently bought SuSE 10.0 and installed it on a AMD (64 bits Athlon). And now I can't compile my programs in fortran (with g77 and gcc). I found out the tricks to make the cc1 library available, i. e. in bash shell "export GCC_EXEC_PREFIX=/usr/lib64/gcc/x86_64-suse-linux/4.0.2/" But I still can't compile my program (just in case, the program I'm trying to compile is DALTON) the error I get now is cc1: error: too many files names. Write cc1 --help for information about the usage (the error statement is in spanish and this is my own translation into english) My question is this, how can I circumvent/resolve this problem in Suse 10.0 with g77 and gcc? Please, if this is not the right place to ask these matters point me to correct mailing list. Thanks in advance, Sincerely, Patricio F. Provasi

smbumount is unable to detect smbfs-mounts
by N. Eschricht 28 Jun '06

28 Jun '06

Hi, we have a Suse Linux 9.1 pro server running here. Installed kernel version is 2.6.5-7.257-smp (x86_64). We allow users to mount Windows shares by use of smbmount an smbumount. They are part of the package samba-client-3.0.9-2.6, which is the the version after the online update. The original version of 9.1 doesn't work too, the same for the older kernel (I made an online update today from ftp.suse.com) The problem is that mounted Windows-Shares by use of smbmount can't be unmounted by use of 'smbumount'. The problem exist for both users and root. They can be unmounted by 'umount'! When typing 'mount' the mounted directory is listed correct with type smbfs. But smbumount complains that the directory is "probably not smb-filesystem". See below server3:~ # mount | grep smbfs //windowsserver/rohdaten on /tmp/smbtest type smbfs (0) server3:~ # smbumount /tmp/smbtest/ /tmp/smbtest probably not smb-filesystem Anyone who knows the problem? anything is fine for the 9.2 systems, where the samba-client is version 3.0.9-2.3 PS. Sorry, but only one mail for both lists. Hope its ok. :-) Answers in the german list may written in german.

Are you talking about the current "Code Duo" or the new "Core 2 Duo" ? The availability schedule on July / August is for Europe, maybe you already have some PCs build upon the new Core 2 Duo in the US ? All the previews I read about the new Intel proc architecture say that it will be far more efficient than the current K8 AMD architecture. I'm not an hardware expert and I may be missunderstood some key points, but I'm ready to heard some explanations. Regards Jean-Lin
