[opensuse-factory] /usr/sbin/freeramdisk?
by Ludwig Nussel 01 Mar '10

01 Mar '10

Hi, Has anyone ever seen any use of /usr/sbin/freeramdisk? AFAICS it's equivalent to "blockdev --flushbufs /dev/ram" so I guess we can just drop it. cu Ludwig -- (o_ Ludwig Nussel //\ V_/_ http://www.suse.de/ SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nuernberg) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Garbage login screen after install 11.3M2
by Jogchum Reitsma 27 Feb '10

27 Feb '10

Hi, I installed 11.3M2 on a system with a Geforce 8600 GT graphics card, and two monitors attached to it. Installation went - not regarding bug #581515 concerning complaints of grub, which I ignored - smoothly, up till the point of installing the packages. I left the system while it went installing the packages, and returned after half an hour, to see only a few green lines, on both monitors the same. Hard reset was the only option, and on restart I got some green points - not a real improvement. I couldn't find a bug for this. Any thoughts? Thanks, Jogchum -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Grub reports: incompatible with system setup in 11.3M2
by Jogchum Reitsma 27 Feb '10

27 Feb '10

Hi, I wanted to install M3 on x86_64 system, with has 4 disks with raid-1 (boot) and raid-5 partitions (root, and home partitions) on it, and one separate disk. I want to install M3 on that separate disk, without touching the raids. The install procedure leads me wel to that goal, but when I am to actually install the chosen setup, I get a message saying Unsupported combination of hardware platform x86_64 and bootloader grub. I don't want to risk damaging the raidsetup (although I have actual backup's), so I wonder what's gonna happen if I do install this setup. Anyone any idea?

[opensuse-factory] /boot/grub/menu.lst is not used
by Felix Miata 26 Feb '10

26 Feb '10

M2 installed on this past Sunday to /dev/md3 (sda10/sdb10) RAID1 . Nothing updated since. Controlling boot loader is Grub from oS 10.2 installed to /dev/sda1, which is never mounted to /boot no matter which oS (11.0, 11.1 & M2 are installed) is booted. When I boot M2 after modifying /boot/grub/menu.lst on M2's md3, the gfxmenu I get is the original <http://fm.no-ip.com/tmp/SUSE/menu.lst.01-big31-md3-os113>, not the current <http://fm.no-ip.com/tmp/SUSE/menu.lst.04-big31-md3-os113>. Even when I delete menu.* from md3's /boot/grub, and rename /boot/message, the original menu and /boot/message still get used, and its use is from configfile on another partition anyway. This does not happen with the 11.0 & 11.1 installs on the same system from the same Grub doing configfile the same way for all <http://fm.no-ip.com/tmp/SUSE/menu.lst.0e-big31-sda1>. What's going on here? Did the installer put menu.lst and message someplace other than /boot/grub on the installation target? How could the old 10.2 Grub be finding files I deleted? I tried booting Knoppix, mounting the individual md3 component partitions separately to compare (successfully) for identical content. This all makes no sense. :-( -- "Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other."

Hi. I get a lot of udevd messages, when system boots from live cd and i don't know what does it mean. Will it be removed in a future, how is mentioned in the messages, or should it be filed a bug? something like this: udevd[1015]: SYSFS{}= will be removed in a future udev version, please use ATTR{}= to match the event device, or ATTRS{}= to match a parent device, in /etc/udev/rules.d/52-usx2yaudio.rules:3 udevd[1015]: SYSFS{}= will be removed in a future udev version, please use ATTR{}= to match the event device, or ATTRS{}= to match a parent device, in /etc/udev/rules.d/52-usx2yaudio.rules:4 udevd[1015]: SYSFS{}= will be removed in a future udev version, please use ATTR{}= to match the event device, or ATTRS{}= to match a parent device, in /etc/udev/rules.d/52-usx2yaudio.rules:5 udevd[1015]: SYSFS{}= will be removed in a future udev version, please use ATTR{}= to match the event device, or ATTRS{}= to match a parent device, in /etc/udev/rules.d/52-usx2yaudio.rules:6 etc... -- S pozdravom / Best regards, Rasto -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Kernel panic on boot with new Factory packages, possibly related to gcc 4.5
by Robert Kaiser 24 Feb '10

24 Feb '10

Hi, Just for your information, I just filed https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=582222 as I can't boot any of the kernels compiled for Factory in the last few days, possibly due to gcc 4.5 and possibly due to using reiserfs as the root partition. Note that all causes are speculation right now. I can boot the last kernel from before the gcc switch fine, so things point in that area, though. If someone else runs into that problem, it would probably be good to get more data on the bug as to how to reproduce this, I hope some knowing developer will find a way to reproduce, debug and fix it.
