How were you assigning IPs before you bought the router?

RCA Lyra 1090
by Steven Pasternak 20 Nov '04

20 Nov '04

I have an RCA Lyra 1090 and want to get it to work under SuSE 9.1 kernel 2.6.9. When I plug it in, it is automatically mounted as subfs, but says that there is no media when I go to access it. When I mount it as anything else besides subfs and vfat it says: 'mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda1, or too many mounted file systems' and when I mount it as vfat I get this: 'mount: /dev/sda1: can't read superblock' I heard somewhere that a digital-camera driver works, but 1. I don't know which it is 2. I don't know how to load the driver. can anyone help?

Poweroff/ACPI problems in upgrading from 9.1 to 9.2
by Ford Prefect 20 Nov '04

20 Nov '04

Hello. I was disappointed to find that on upgrading from 9.1 to 9.2 on my Gericom Ego laptop (Centrino 1.7G, AMI BIOS) that PROBLEM 1: unless I put "acpi=off" in the boot options, I get a kernel OOPS which results in KDE startup dwelling on the "initializing peripherals" stage for ages and then giving up (initialisation progress window disappearing). I don't want to include all the ACPI debug messages but here's some stuff: ... ACPI: RSDP (v000 ACPIAM ) @ 0x000f58e0 ACPI: RSDT (v001 A M I OEMRSDT 0x06000428 MSFT 0x00000097) @ 0x1ffd0000 ACPI: FADT (v002 A M I OEMFACP 0x06000428 MSFT 0x00000097) @ 0x1ffd0200 ACPI: OEMB (v001 A M I AMI_OEM 0x06000428 MSFT 0x00000097) @ 0x1ffdf040 ACPI: SSDT (v001 AMI CPU1PM 0x00000001 INTL 0x02002026) @ 0x1ffd3e50 ACPI: DSDT (v001 1003 10032400 0x00002400 INTL 0x02002026) @ 0x00000000 ACPI: PM-Timer IO Port: 0x408 ACPI: local apic disabled ...

upgrade 9.2 partitions question
by steve-ss 20 Nov '04

20 Nov '04

I want to upgrade a box from 9.1 to 9.2. The only partition I can select for upgrade is / (the one with fstab on it). All the others are marked 'unknown'. What about these others I have, /var, /usr, /srv and so on? I want to upgrade those as well. Will yast mount them and upgrade those too? Confused, Steve.

trouble in .ycp module compilation
by Pengcheng Zou 20 Nov '04

20 Nov '04

hi, i am trying to compile the yast2 package (yast2-2.9.75), when i try to make, i got the following errors: make[3]: Entering directory `yast2-2.9.75/library/types/src' /usr/bin/ycpc -c -M. -I. -q Hostname.ycp Hostname.ycp:15 [Interpreter] Loading module 'IP' failed Import.cc(import):100 [libycp] No matching component found Hostname.ycp:15 [Parser] Can't load module 'IP'. i read the ycpc code, and notice it tries to import 'IP' module, but failed. however, the IP.ycp is compiled OK and IP.ybc is sitting right in the same directory. it seems to be the problem of Y2ComponentBroker, and could be related to the YaST environment not properly setup (I have to admit i am using RH9 to do the compilation). one thing strange is that genericfrontend.cc in yast2-core contains a 'main' routine, when tries to link ycpc with liby2, i got the duplicate 'main' routine error, so i have to remove the 'main' routine in genericfrontend.cc to compile ycpc. wonder if someone here could give me some hint on that, or point me to some YaST2 development document (i searched the web but found almost nothing useful). Thanks in advance,

Good dag Donn, I know, but that was not the reason for my question. Someone asked if someone else could see anything wrong with the script code splitting a double layer DVD. I ran over the code, and tripped upon the above two lines. To me it looks like they make two copies of the same stuff and thus will cause the data to take up double space. Whatfore? Best regards :o) Johnny :o)

wlan acx_pci problems
by steve-ss 20 Nov '04

20 Nov '04

Hi. We have a dlink 520+ which Yast identifies as acx_pci. I see that there is a firmware patch in YOU for the acx100 chipset. I've tried downloading firmware from other sources but I've no idea which directory to put it in. I've tried /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware but no go. -has anyone got this card to work in 9.2? -Where is that YOU rpm on the SuSE server? I don't want to download it and install it on another box, I just want the rpm. THanks Steve.

HP DL320 G2 ide - Kernel problems (handled not solved) hang after format
by Kevin F. Berrien 20 Nov '04

20 Nov '04

I installed SLES 9 on a brand new DL320 G2 today (from HP gem within the month). This is a ServerWorks chipset & megaraid IDE. The guy at Novell was nice enough to get me some complimentary phone support despite the fact Suse/Novell doesn't offer install support as RH does. Thanks! Reasonable reps rule! No install phone support is a bad idea, Novell, btw. The install CD would boot into Yast, but after formatting root it would hang with the clock hourglass icon spining. After working on it, we found that the Installation - Safe Install solved the issue. Thus, the system was booting with the kernel params idedma off, acpi off, apm off. The kernel appears to have problem with this controller. Upon post install boot, the system has kept these settings. In speaking with the engineer, I now need to try removing the off statements one by one and see which is having an effect. Or else perhaps the HP drivers will help. I post to get the info out there (in case anyone does a search) and see if anyone has had the same issue, did they determine more specifically the issue? Kevin
