Before I do research on how to do this, it is possible to do this right, on a 2 drive box, with SUSE 8.0 on 1 drive, Debian and 98se splitting the other? I'm already dual booting fwiw.. Thank you for your time.

Dell 2650/Perc3 Raid Controller easy switch??
by shado＠mc.net 25 Apr '03

25 Apr '03

I am currently using a Dell 2650 Poweredge server without a raid controller. It's using the standard adaptec onboard SCSI as it stands. I'm wondering if anyone has installed the Perc3 raid controller and had the Linux install just pop right up (assuming the megaraid module was loading)? I wouldn't need to reformat if all I was doing was switching controllers and hardware mirroring, right? Thanks, Rich shado(a)mc.net

Wireless PCMCIA in a Desktop: Will Linux Recognize it?
by Dennis J.Tuchler 28 Aug '02

28 Aug '02

I would be thankful for answers to some questions: about wireless cards 1) Re: Wireless Ethernet Cards for Desktops. How does one get Linux to recognize an ethernet card (e.g. a wireless card) that is not on the list of supported cards shown by YAST2? 2) Re: Installing a PCMCIA card onto a Desktop. I understand that one can install a wireless PCMCIA ethernet card in a desktop with the appropriate PCI card. Is there any problem with Linux's recognizing the card under these circumstances? Under Linux 8.0, is there any problem with recognition and use of a wireless PCMCIA? I read the relevant HowTo, but that installed under Debian and I think (guess) an older kernel. Thanks -- dj tuchler dtuchler(a)earthlink.net

[SLE] problems with KVM switches.. losing mouse control on 8.0
by Jon San Juan 07 May '02

07 May '02

I am using a multiple servers with a KVM switch and I find that I lose control of my mouse as I return back to the SUSE 8.0 KDE. Are any you experiencing the same thing. I have tried other mice and different KVM switches. -I am using a Belkin KVM switch with hot key functionality for changing monitors. -I am using PS/2 mice The only way I can stablize the mouse is if I return to YAST 2 and try to re-configure the mouse when it is a problem... Otherwise I have been rebooting to get the mouse stability.

Version 8.0 installation from hard drive with YaST2 possible?
by joe lerch 16 Apr '02

16 Apr '02

"No installation data found on medium" "Could not mount the source medium" Previously I was alawya able to use the orginal YaST to do hard drive installation, I was never able to get YaST2 past the above errors, if I exit YaST2 and start YaST everything works fine. It has always been this way for me and I didn't mind as I like using YaST. However, I am told that version 8.0 will no longer have YaST. Does anyone know if version 8.0 of SuSE pro will allow paying customers the right to copy the installation disks to their hard drive and do a complete installtion and further updates directly from the hard drive? If I have been skipping something, please let me know, it has been a while since I installed 7.3 my curent SuSe distro installation disks are on my /hda11/7.3 thanks in advacne joe

(Newbie alert) Zip drive confusion.
by Brian Durant 06 Mar '02

06 Mar '02

Hi all, I have just tried to access my USB 250 Zip drive in SUSE 7.3 Pro, only to receive the following message: "Could not mount device. The reported error was mount /dev/sda4: unknown device." I have checked and ziptool is installed, I have a Zip icon on my desktop, but obviously, something needs to be configured somewhere. I read /usr/share/doc/packages/ziptool/README, but there wasn't any help as far as I could decipher. Any ideas? Cheers, Brian

Hi, Last night i posted message asking on help to aviod my system shutdown by it self. Well put statement suggested in lilo.con in the appriate localtion suggested but jut know the system in question just power off again for no good reason. I am running SuSe 7.1 Kernel 2.4.13 Mantel RPM. 512 MB RAM 10 GB (ReiserFS / ext2 /boot) Matorx Millimum 2 MB (It's work machine ) D-Link 538 TX+ 10/100 MB What noticed this occurs when memory drop below 350 MB the system shutdown when i am going in to X/Gnome. What i find strange is i am running RH 7.1 + Kernel 2.4.13 Kernel.org with exact same MB/RAM/HD/NIC etc.. and all it well with it. I have had this problems since kernel 2.4.0 . I have checked RAM with memtest and it check out i have switched ram from RH 7.1 Box with this one done memory test as well it check out but still occurs. I have always love SuSe but seriously thinking of calling it quit's with this distro. I never any problems with other distro/kernels acting like this. Any ideas :) Alex :)
