RE: [SLE] 7.1 upgrade to 7.3 + new kernel
by Jostein Berntsen 26 Feb '02

I would recommend this one: 1. First upgrade to SuSE 7.3, which gives you the 2.4.10 kernel 2. Then download and install the 2.4.16 kernel from the SuSE ftp site 3. Then you can try to install the 2.4.17 kernel if you want to Jostein >===== Original Message From babu walad <vyav(a)yahoo.com> ===== >Folks, > >In moving from a generic 7.1 pro (2.4.0 kernel) to >a 7.3 but with the latest 2.4.17 (or other) kernel, >what is a more desireable upgrade path? > >Update to 7.3 and then update the kernel, or update >to the latest kernel and then upgrade to 7.3? > >I suspect it is better to upgrade to 7.3 first and >then >get the latest Suse kernel.

7.1 upgrade to 7.3 + new kernel
by babu walad 26 Feb '02

26 Feb '02

Folks, In moving from a generic 7.1 pro (2.4.0 kernel) to a 7.3 but with the latest 2.4.17 (or other) kernel, what is a more desireable upgrade path? Update to 7.3 and then update the kernel, or update to the latest kernel and then upgrade to 7.3? I suspect it is better to upgrade to 7.3 first and then get the latest Suse kernel. Is that reasonable? Thanks, Babu __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo! Sports - Coverage of the 2002 Olympic Games http://sports.yahoo.com

Anyone used a 1394 Firewire Disk on SuSE 7.3 Pro?
by Christopher John Shaker 26 Feb '02

26 Feb '02

I've yet to get any useful information about 1394 Firewire disk support under SuSE 7.3 Pro from the SuSE hardware database. Is anyone using 1394 Firewire disks under SuSE? You can get a large disk for the money on Firewire, which would seem to be fine for a nightly backup repository... Maxtor Direct offers a 160 GB 3000XT external disk, with 1394 FireWire, i.LINK interface, for $399.95. Seems like a lot of disk for the money, if it will work with SuSE 7.3... Chris Shaker

running suse 7.2, xserver 4.2, kernel 2.4.16, matrox g200 video card and cpd-200es sony monitor. I noticed that screensaver "space" and "pipes" which require gl do not work anymore. "morph" still works. Is this because I ran switch2xf86_glx? what does this do and how to undo it? thanks.

Problems after long power failure
by Harry G 26 Feb '02

26 Feb '02

Version 7.3 using KDE and ext3 file system After the power went out, and my UPS died, I have had some problems. One, CUPS died. I fixed it by reinstalling, as the cupsd wouldn't work right, and just ran my CPU useage to 100% when trying to queue a print job. (Just telling you so you see I have fixed something myself, be it the cheaters way out). But two other problems: 1. I found in the xconsole that runs in KDE the following: modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module char-major-180 I am not sure what this means. Anybody able to assist? 2. Also, what controls how often fsck runs on startup? Also, is this used on ext3? Thanks so much! Harry G
