Some questions (gcc/SCSI) about upgrading from 7.3 to 8.1
by Josh Trutwin 11 Dec '02

11 Dec '02

Hello list, I have been using SuSE 7.3 for over a year and have decided to upgrade to 8.1 professional. I have a couple questions though related to SCSI and gcc. I run some old SCSI2 hardware on my server, and one IDE hard drive. What I want to do is move everything onto SCSI by buying a new Ultra 160 SCSI hard drive, a new Ultra 2 SCSI controller (Adaptec 2940U2W in particular), and a IDE to SCSI bridge for my existing IDE hard drive for some extra space. This would create two SCSI chains, one for the Ultra 160 drive, one for the other SCSI2 stuff (CD-RW, DVD, Tape, old HD). The card is listed as having full support in the SuSE hardware database, but I just want to have someone with more experience verify that this should work before I start buying hardware. I'm not buying an Ultra160 controller as documentation I have read says that an Ultra Wide card should be able to handle my configuration. Also, I am the type that likes to install a lot of stuff from source. I usually install the base system from the CD's, then stuff I want full control over (e.g. MySQL, apache, php, etc) I compile/install myself. SuSE 8.1 has gcc 3.2, but is it also possible to compile with gcc 2.x? I ask because some of the apps I want to compile (e.g. courier-imap) advertise that they do not yet compile under gcc 3.2. Thanks for your help, I can't wait to get the upgrade started! Josh Trutwin http://trutwins.homeip.net

NFS server wierdness

Dear all! Since today i experience strange troubles with my (kernel) NFS server. it runs on SuSE 8.1, as well as all other clients. Everything was fine, untill today. and when i try to mount an nfs volume, i get the following: root@saturn:~# mount 192.168.120.14:/home/software /home/software mount: 192.168.120.14:/home/software failed, reason given by server: Permission denied and the following entry in the messages on the server: Dec 11 20:27:46 cmpd2 rpc.mountd: refused mount request from saturn for /home/software (/): no export entry here are my /etc/exports on server: /home/software 192.168.120.*(rw,async,no_root_squash) on the same time, i have a machine running Solaris8 for x86, and it mounts these volumes successfully, but it cannot bind to my NIS domain, here is what i have in my messages on server: Dec 11 20:22:08 cmpd2 ypserv[972]: refused connect from 192.168.120.7:32895 to procedure ypproc_match where other clients bind to the domain successfully I am completely desparate to resolve this, can any advise anything? Sincerelly, Vitaly PS: Some of my linux clients, running for long time, are mounted to those nfs volumes a long time ago, and still work fine, but the can not do any new mounts anymore.

I'm using 3Com Megahertz 10/100 (I remember it's a Cardbus II, code 3FE575.. + something) on my Toshiba Tecra 8100. SuSE 7.1 and 7.3 installed everything right first time, now with 8.1 I'm only having some problems with the sound, but NEVER ANY problems w/ the NIC. ...the connector/dongle is always a problem on PCMCIA's. /Henrik -----Original Message----- From: Dave Smith [mailto:Dave.Smith@st.com] Sent: 11. joulukuuta 2002 14:07 To: suse-linux-e(a)suse.com Subject: Re: [SLE] PCMCIA Network card recommendations?
