Suse 8.2 and Partition Magic?
by Hylton Conacher (ZR1HPC) 05 May '03

05 May '03

Hi all, Am just about to purchase the 8.2 version when I saw that the previous 8.1 version came with a program I VERY much like and have used extensively. I wonder if Partition Magic 8.x, or another DECENT partition program ie not fdisk! , is shipped with the Standard or Professional series? -- ======================================================================== Hylton Conacher - Registered Linux user # 229959 Using Linux Mandrake 9.0 with KDE 3 on a 2.4.19-16mdk kernel Licenced Windows user ========================================================================

CD-R Drive Setup?
by jrn＠oregonhanggliding.com 05 May '03

05 May '03

Hi, I just bought a CD-R/DVD drive ( IDE ) and installed it. Suse 8.1 detected it at set it up as /dev/hdc. Now the built in software that SuSE has for CD Burning "K3B The CD Creator", detects /dev/hdc as the drive for reading ( even though I have another regular CD-Rom ) and doesn't find a device for CD Writing. So I rebuild my kernel and included support for SCSI Emulation. Now can somebody please point me to a howto to set this thing up so that the CD Burning software can actually find a device capable of writing to CD's? Thanks much, Jim

Thinkpad X31
by Anders Karlsson 05 May '03

05 May '03

Hi, Trying to get SuSE Professional 8.2 installed on an IBM X31 Centrino laptop and I have run into a few problems. The most urgent ones are the following. For some reason I can not swith on the max speed of the harddrive in the laptop. 'hdparm -d1 -X69 /dev/hda' tells me that it can't set UDMA5 mode and DMA is not an option that can be switched on. The other problem seems to be related to the ATI Radeon graphics card. If X is started, and I restart the server (either Ctrl+Alt+Backspace or /etc/init.d/xdm restart) I get a black screen. After having installed the GATOS drivers (both X and drm) I instead get a hard lockup. Both of these problems are sort of a showstopper. If anyone has any details about this, I would very much like to hear them even if they don't solve the problems directly. :-) Regards, -- Anders Karlsson <anders(a)trudheim.com> Trudheim Technology Limited

You can always use parted. Not graphical like PM, but it does the job. You can also try www.acronis.com. I've not used it but I think others on this list have. It's not free though. (~$40 US).

Kernel compilation
by Mariusz Jurgielewicz 05 May '03

05 May '03

I am forced to compile kernel. SuSE 8.2 does not work properly on my machine out of the box. It fails to recognize network adapter and firewire drives. SuSE support said that network card configuration is not covered by Installation Support. Anyway I tried to compile kernel cause I know harware is working I got dual boot with Win2K on this machine and everything works fine. I got 2.40.20, plus 2.4.21-rc1 patch, plus ACPI patch from SourceForge. On my laptop USB 2 did not work until I made ACPI work so I got it just in case. 1. I did patches, renamed linux-2.4.20 to linux-2.4.21-rc1. 2. I did make mrproper 3. make xconfig did not work I had to change some things in /drivers/Config in and /drivers/net/Config.in 4. Finally it run but Firewire was copletelly grayed out. 5. I opened SuSE config from /boot/vmlinuz.config 6. No problems with make dep and make bzImage 7. I encountered many problems when I was trying to compile modules. I did not try to find patches. I disabled ATM, WAN and some IRDA support just to make it compile. 8. Installed modules, created initrd, duplicated and modified grub settings 9. Finally I was able to boot. Surprise, network card and firewire work perfectly but I lost my USB mouse, sound (I guess I had to compile ALSA separatelly). Are there any ways to to combine these 2 configurations? Shall I disable ACPI? I think all my problems are software related because my hardware works perfectly under Win2K and Knoppix.
