Re-install
by Jon 19 Jun '01

19 Jun '01

Hi; this may be a lack of docs on my part. Can somebody tell me the proceedure for a reinstall on the Intel OEM boxes? I have SuSE installed on a local disc and I have destroyed the ext2 FS, and I want to reinstall. However, at bootime the elilo goes to disc and I have not been able to add any boot order in the console that hits the CD. Regards, Jon

shutdown, reboot, gdb doesn't work
by Bernd Krischok 08 Jun '01

08 Jun '01

Hi the first experience on SuSE linux for IA64 on a BigSur 1GB memory, 2 CPU's (B3), Kernel 2.4.5 SMP, BIOS 103E: 1) shutdown, reboot doesn't work (nothing happens) # shutdown -r now Broadcast message from root (pts/0) Fri Jun 8 10:39:35 2001... The system is going down for reboot NOW !! # #ps -ef ... root 5701 1 0 10:39 ? 00:00:00 /bin/bash /etc/init.d/rc 6 root 5704 5701 0 10:39 ? 00:00:00 /bin/bash /etc/init.d/rc 6 root 5705 5704 0 10:39 ? 00:00:00 showconsole root 5706 5705 99 10:39 tty1 00:00:05 showconsole ... After killing the PID's above, the system will running in runlevel 6. Also it's possible to change the runlevel using init. 2) gdb doesn't work by running a simple "Hello world" on the debugger, the gdb crashs: ...Segmentation fault Did you have tested your IA64 Distribution? Or have I made a misstake? TurboLinux installed before the SuSE distribution has no such problems. Best regards, B. Krischok --

new gcc compiler ?
by Thomas Hiller 01 Jun '01

01 Jun '01

I have a lot of problems with the gcc from SuSE 7.2a (like parameter corruption between C++ and C during call, internal compiler errors). All these problems are gone with gcc-3.0 20010528 (prerelease). Is there a newer compiler available ? Will there a newer one on the final product ? Will there be an optional gcc-3.0 ?

SuSE 7.1 Beta 1on LION Qual: Graphic problem
by Verkist, Bruno 08 May '01

08 May '01

Hi all, I received my Lion Qual system last friday and after updating the BIOS from 73 to 75, 76, 79 I encountered the following problem while installing SuSE 7.1 Beta ( 9-mar-2001 ): After installing the first CD and the first successful reboot of linux I tried to configure the graphic card using SaX which failed. The graphic card ATI Rage 128 seems to be recognized, but somehow V_BIOS cannot be read (whatever it means). Maybe it has something to do with the fact that the ATI Rage 128 is part of the legacy board and not part of a graphic card ? Is this a known issue ? Is there a fix or workaround available ? I'll attach /var/log/SaX.log and /var/log/Xfree86.0.log to this mail.

The Intel Itanium(TM) Software Development Vehicle program is trying to contact all SDV users that have machines with processor steppings below the B3 level (ie any A stepping, B0, B1 or B2). Please fill out the table below and email it to PTE_DV(a)Intel.com The processor stepping of your SDV should be determined by running the stepping.efi utility from the efi shell. Please do not assume you know the stepping. This utility is available from the Intel support web site, https://intel.premier.com Look under the download link on the left of the page. The self extracting executable is called stepping_V06.exe You must have registered for a support account to log in to this web site, if you have not done this please respond to this notification, simply leaving out the steppings from the table below (we will need the other information to create your account) Company name Contact name Contact Email Contact phone Number Machines: Serial Number Stepping Number of CPU's
