[opensuse-factory] 10.2 install fails on boards that use JMicron PATA controller

What appears to me to be the same problem has been reported a number of times: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=215904 Opened on October 27, status "Resolved" on November 28. https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=216165 Opened on October 29, status "Resolved" November 23. https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=217930 Opened on Nov 3, status "Resolved" November 24. Considered a duplicate of the second bug. https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=218863 Opened November 7, status "Needinfo" November 28. Motherboard: ASUS M2V - uses JMicron JMB360 as PATA controller https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=227505 Opened December 10, status "New" Olaf Amm wrote: > I have an ASUS P5B with JMicron controller.

I also have an ASUS P5B Deluxe and reported the same problem work-around here on 23 November (at the time I was unaware of the prior history of this bug). If the JMicron is set to "IDE" in the P5B BIOS, the pata_jmicron driver is not loaded and the install halts with "Make sure that CD1 is in your drive." Backing up in the text install and manually loading pata_jmicron allows the install to proceed. However, if the JMicron is set to "AHCI" in the P5B BIOS, the same procedure (manually loading pata_jmicron) results in the install message: "Insert nil CD1" during the "initializing catalogs" stage. I have not found a work-around to get past this point. After aborting, looking at the installed drivers shows pata_jmicron is still installed. Why does the install program suddenly fail to see that CD1 is in the drive? Installing from the same CDs using a SCSI optical disk succeeds, and the PATA optical drive is accessible with the P5B BIOS set to "AHCI" for the JMicron. I sent email to the assignee (Steffen Winterfeldt) for the "new" bug, but have not received a response. Suggestions on how to proceed to finally get this old problem fixed are welcomed. -rex --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] colorgcc
by Guillermo Ballester Valor 15 Dec '06

Hello, Is there any reason to not release colorgcc rpm for opensuse10.2. At least I've searched it without success. As a proof, I've rebuild the opensuse 10.1 src.rpm one to 10.2 and worked OK. I like to see colored warning and error gcc messages, so I would suggest to include again it into factory. But may be I'm missing something.

I would like to see > iFolder in openSUSE too. I would think it's important to go in the base deistribution (what is on the dvd) and what can be added by external repos (like the BuildService). Honestly, I prefer adding many small, specific repos than adding a huge external one, which risks to try to replace base libs even when it's not 'required'. As long as there is space on the DVD (5CDs) I would say we can add it, otherwise better have it in an external repo. I don't think the iFolder Server is interesting for every user at home, it is a more specific tool (also not comparable to an apache, which is very often installed for development). The iFolder client of course should be on the base install Dominique

[opensuse-factory] build service

Hi, Is there a good interface for searching through the various repositories when looking for packages? All these separate directories make it harder to find stuff Also, is there a way to add all the repos as installation sources in one go? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] 10.2RC1 install failure (& fix) on ASUS P5B Deluxe
by rex 12 Dec '06

12 Dec '06

Boards that use the Intel P965 chipset have another chip for PATA support since no IDE support is included on the P965 chipset. On the P5BD (and some other boards), this chip is a Jmicron chip. If the Jmicron (there's a separate setting for the ICH8) is set to "AHCI" in the BIOS, CD1 will be recognized (if it is in a typical IDE CDROM drive on the PATA port), and the installation will start. However, it will soon be unable to find the CD it was reading from a moment before, and ask you to insert CD1 repeatedly. The fix is to back up to the menu choice that allows loading IDE drivers and load the pata_jmicron driver. Once that's done the installation will proceed normally. HTH someone... -rex --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

Anybody try executing 'make cloneconfig' in 10.2 GM? Here is the sorry result: dhcppc0:/usr/src/linux # make cloneconfig /usr/src/linux-2.6.18.2-34/scripts/gcc-version.sh: line 11: gcc: command not found /usr/src/linux-2.6.18.2-34/scripts/gcc-version.sh: line 12: gcc: command not found HOSTCC scripts/basic/fixdep /bin/sh: gcc: command not found make[1]: *** [scripts/basic/fixdep] Error 127 make: *** [scripts_basic] Error 2 And I need this to work in order to be able to compile the nvidia driver.
