Re: [suse-amd64] Installing directly to SATA drive on Asus SK8N
Hey Phil, Whether the onBoard NIC is going to work or not depends on the revision of the mainboard. We got two of'em for testing and debugging, Rev. 1.02 is what I'm using right now and Rev 1.03 which another of our hardware testers is going to use starting next week (also getting a new AMD CPU :)). I've had no trouble activating it on 1.03, what drivers are you using? We got Beta drivers from nVidia which seem to work just fine, however I am not allowed to give that driver away and it's not yet available to public :( However I've had a very similar problem with 1.02: I's able to load the module and I was also able to ping my server and several websites. I was not able to ssh to my server or to load any of the websites in any webbrowser. No trouble whatsoever with 1.03, what Revision do you have? You should have 1.03 since 1.02 wasn't available to public either and is still a prototype. SuSE 8.2/AMD64 does not have the proper driver for the onBoard NIC yet, you'd have to use the nVidia driver. But first, could you be so kind and tell me what revision of the SK8N you have, 1.02 or 1.03? What version is your BIOS? Maybe there's something we can do about that onBoard NIC ;) Martin On Sun, 2003-08-31 at 00:47, Phil Chapman wrote:

It should be working though, give it a shot. However I'd suggest you install SuSE x86-64 on a P-ATA drive connected to the onBoard onChipset IDE-Controller. Don't forget to enable UDMA and 32-bit mode for the harddrive afterwards:
hdparm -d1 -c1 /dev/hda
Note that this will only work with the SuSE default kernel 2.4.19 but not with any other self compiled kernel yet. Apparantly, SuSE updated the IDE-driver in that specific kernel and those patches are not part of 2.6 yet.

Hi, Alright, with 1.03 it should be working just fine. Download this driver: http://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/nforce/1.0-0261/NVIDIA_nforce-1.0-0261.ta... compile and install it. There's a file named "ReleaseNotes.html" in that package once you've untared it, follow the instructions given in that file. When everything's installed, loading the nvnet module via "modprobe nvnet" should solve your problem, just give it a shot. If it still ain't working, then you might just have to wait until these guys launch new drivers also supporting the nForce3 chipset. Also, you should get ALSA 0.9.6 (www.alsa-project.org), you need alsa-driver, alsa-lib and alsa-utils. Install it, load soundcore support via modprobe (or insmod, whatever) then load the module "snd-intel8x0" that's the module that'll let you use the onBoard soundcard ;) Martin On Sun, 2003-08-31 at 02:01, Phil Chapman wrote:

Hi, You'll be glad to hear that even though I did not have that problem, I seem to have found the glitch. The nvnet driver does not need a CPU detection, neither does the nvgart driver. The nvaudio does though, hence you can find the following in the nvaudio/Makefile: TARGET_CPU ?= $(shell uname -m) At this point, there is one thing I am not 100% sure of. There are two uname parameters to determine the CPU target and/or architecture: -m and -p. I remember, that one of'em returns "unknown" in Long Mode (64-bit mode) and the other returns "x86_64" Given your error message, I'd have to say it's the -m parameter that returns "unknown", since the target CPU "unknown" clearly does not support the x86_64 instruction set. But to be 100% sure, you'll have to test that on your SuSE yourself, right now I am not running SuSE 8.2/AMD64 so I can't help you with that. If I am correct and "uname -m" returns "unknown" then one simple change in the Makefile is going to solve your problem. Look for the CFLAGS option which should read like this: CFLAGS= -D__KERNEL__ $(ARCHDEFS) -I$(SYSINCLUDE) -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes \ -O -fno-strict-aliasing -mpreferred-stack-boundary=2 \ -march=$(TARGET_CPU) $(ALIGN) -DMODULE Change it to CFLAGS= -D__KERNEL__ $(ARCHDEFS) -I$(SYSINCLUDE) -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes \ -O -fno-strict-aliasing -mpreferred-stack-boundary=2 \ -march=x86_64 $(ALIGN) -DMODULE The important parameter is "-march", since uname -m returns a unknown architecture, it's up to you to force him to compile it for x86_64 so it'll support the x86_64 instruction set. If you do that, you should also edit the nvnet/Makefile and change the CFLAGS option from "-march=i386" to "-march=x86_64" But I might be also wrong and -p instead of -m might return unknown, in that case and if the above doesn't work, you'll have to change it to "-march=i686". I don't know whether that is going to work though, installing a 32-bit driver on a 64-bit OS might cause some big big trouble. Tell me how it went, I'm pretty sure that -m returns "unknown" but that you're gonna have to find out by yourself. If that ain't working as well (neither x86_64 nor i686) then you can always skip the nvaudio driver and just install the nvnet driver - it's always worth a shot if everything else fails.

hmmm,
all I can see is that it is revision 08.00.09, date 06/25/03
I don't see 1.02 or 1.03 anywhere ??

Hey Phil,
Whether the onBoard NIC is going to work or not depends on the revision of the mainboard. We got two of'em for testing and debugging, Rev. 1.02 is what I'm using right now and Rev 1.03 which another of our hardware testers is going to use starting next week (also getting a new AMD CPU :)).
I've had no trouble activating it on 1.03, what drivers are you using? We got Beta drivers from nVidia which seem to work just fine, however I am not allowed to give that driver away and it's not yet available to public :( However I've had a very similar problem with 1.02: I's able to load the module and I was also able to ping my server and several websites. I was not able to ssh to my server or to load any of the websites in any webbrowser. No trouble whatsoever with 1.03, what Revision do you have? You should have 1.03 since 1.02 wasn't available to public either and is still a prototype.
SuSE 8.2/AMD64 does not have the proper driver for the onBoard NIC yet, you'd have to use the nVidia driver. But first, could you be so kind and tell me what revision of the SK8N you have, 1.02 or 1.03? What version is your BIOS? Maybe there's something we can do about that onBoard NIC ;)

hmmm, uname -m returns x86_64 uname -p returns unknown I changed the CFLAGS to be -march=x86_64 but it gets an unknown value for march when doing the make. tried -march=i686 and again it gets CPU does not cuppot x86_64 instruction set?? Any more ideas?? How can I tell if I'm in 64-bit mode? Regards Phil
Hi, Uh oh.... uname -m tells you what mode you are in. In 32-bit mode, it returns "i686". The "CPU does not support x86_64 instruction set" seems right now that I think of it, that's because you're trying to install a 32-bit driver/module on a 64-bit platform... that can't be good. I'll take a look at the GCC manual, maybe I'll find something x86_64 specific. Martin On Sun, 2003-08-31 at 16:25, Phil Chapman wrote:

Hi, Alright, I found the following in the GCC manual: -m64 Generate code for a 32-bit or 64-bit environment. The 32-bit environment sets int, long and pointer to 32 bits and generates code that runs on any i386 system. The 64-bit environment sets int to 32 bits and long and pointer to 64 bits and generates code for AMD's x86-64 architecture. First, simply try to add the -m64 parameter to the CFLAGS options and use "-march=athlon". If that doesn't work either, delete the -march parameter and use -m64 only.
