Suse 10.1 and DMA error
by Jan Mussche 26 Jul '06

26 Jul '06

- Hi, I installed Suse Linux 10.1 but when I re-start after the initial installation I get an error saying: DMA-STATUS==0x21 This is not a software error Kernel Panic It happens when the system is loading fan and thermal of my harddisk, a 123,5GB U100 IC35V2 8MB drive. I tried several settings in the BIOS for DMA but nothing works: the error keeps coming. I can start the installed OS when I type as options: IDE=NODMA. Then there is no problem, except for the speed which turns my AMD 64 3400+ into a pentium 1. I would like to use my 2 WD 200GB SATA drives which are connected in a software RAID 0 configuration, but since I have no working driver for them I have to use my IDE drive. Does anybody have a driver for the ULi M5289 chipset? Who has an answer for either question/problem? Thanks, Jan Mussche Jan.Mussche(a)orange.nl

SuSE 10.1: ac97 problems
by Bernd Paysan 15 Jul '06

15 Jul '06

Hi, There seems to be a problem with the ac97 microphone input. I tried two different microphones (one active, one passive) with two different ac97 cards (one ATI RS48x, the other NForce4), and all combinations produce a high-pitched whistle. The same microphones on a Creative SoundBlaster E10K sound perfectly fine. I hadn't problems with the passive microphone on SuSE 10.0 with NForce4, but didn't try other combinations back then. -- Bernd Paysan "If you want it done right, you have to do it yourself" http://www.jwdt.com/~paysan/

Automatic launch for usb-disks, dvds etc on SuSE 10.1?
by Lennart Börjeson 11 Jul '06

11 Jul '06

I've made a fresh installation of SuSE 10.1 on a brand new Dell Precision 490. When I connect a usb disk, or insert a dvd etc, I can access them in konqueror using media:/, but I do not get the usual popups, i.e. launching of kaffeine etc. As far as I can see, the popups are enabled in the Control Centre (Peripherals->Storage). Under the "advanced", tab everything is enabled, including "Automatic launch..." Any hints? -- !++ ! Lennart Börjeson ! Partner, Developer ! Cinnober Financial Technology AB ! Industrigatan 2A !

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

mount: special device /dev/sda1 does not exist
by Ken Southerland 06 Jul '06

06 Jul '06

I'm on SuSE 10.0 and I've got my music on an external hard drive. I use Amarok to play it. Lately amarok has been stopping after a few songs have been played and when I investigate why it has stopped I find that my drive is no longer mounted and I can't get it remounted. ken@saturn>sudo mount /dev/sda1 /music mount: special device /dev/sda1 does not exist ... and the only way that I can find to fix the problem is to reboot the machine. So a) How do I stop this from happening and b) Are there any services that I can restart that will remedy this without having to reboot the machine? In addition, I've been having routine problems with the sound driver alsa and often have to restart it. But when I try to restart after this problem occurs I get the following set of errors... ken@saturn> sudo /usr/sbin/rcalsasound restart Shutting down sound driverERROR: Module snd_seq_dummy does not exist in /proc/modules ERROR: Module snd_pcm_oss does not exist in /proc/modules ERROR: Module snd_mixer_oss does not exist in /proc/modules ERROR: Module snd_seq does not exist in /proc/modules ERROR: Module snd_seq_device does not exist in /proc/modules ERROR: Module snd_intel8x0 does not exist in /proc/modules ERROR: Module snd_ac97_codec does not exist in /proc/modules ERROR: Module snd_ac97_bus does not exist in /proc/modules ERROR: Module snd_pcm does not exist in /proc/modules ERROR: Module snd_timer does not exist in /proc/modules ERROR: Module snd does not exist in /proc/modules ERROR: Module snd_page_alloc does not exist in /proc/modules failed Starting sound driver: intel8x0 done ... I can't help but think the drive mounting problem and this problem are related. The problem really manifests itself when I can't mount my backup drive either to backup my system because of course I can't mount any external drives once the error occurs (again until I reboot the system). Thanks for any assistance you can give. Ken -- ------s----a----m----s----i----x----e----d----d------ -- Ken Southerland Senior Consultant Sam Six EDD, Inc. 503-236-4288 http://www.samsixedd.com
