SuSE 9.2 - Proliant 380 G3
by Ciro Iriarte 04 Mar '05

04 Mar '05

Anybody tried to install the drivers included in the Proliant Support Pack for SLES9?, installed some fancy things (like the storage configuration tool), but couldn't make work the important things like the SmartArray driver. The server is running about 2 months already, but i'm trying to install the PSP because of two problems i've found: Yesterday tried to attach an old DLT IV drive to it and it wasn't detected. Sometimes when moving ~20GB of data from one filesystem to another it seems to freeze for some seconds. All the filesystems are on a hardware RAID5 (SmartArray) Are any difference between the SmartArray module supplied with SuSE Pro 9.2 and the one from the Proliant Support Pack?? Thanks in advance Ciro

root access to user

Hi All, How would you give root access to another user on a suse box? If you joined the linux box to a w2k domain. How would you give the administrator user root access on the linux box? Thanks Regards ______________________________________________________________ http://www.webmail.co.za the South African FREE email service

Suse 9.2 & MSDOS Drive
by Art Fore 04 Mar '05

04 Mar '05

We have Suse 9.2 installed on dual bood amd64 system. This has a SATA drive, /dev/sda. A few days after installation, we added a second drive, and IDE drive, dev/hdd. Suse recognized the drive, I mapped it to /windows/DOS. This all works fine. The only guy here who wants to use dos wants to be able to boot dos from the second drive without going into the BIOS and setting the boot order. I have modified the GRUB list etc via YAST and added the following. Disk order /dev/sda, /dev/hdd title MSDOS 6.22 map (hd0) (hd1) map (hd1) (hd0) makeactive rootnoverify (hd1,0) chainloader +1 When you boot from grub and select MSDOS, you get a flash, then back to grub. It is too fast to read what is on the screen. I changed the listing to title MSDOS 6.22 unhide (hd1,0) hide (hd0,0) makeactive rootnoverify (hd1,0) chainloader +1 When I boot and select MSDOS, I know get an error 12: invalid device. Would appreciate any help or a link to where I could get more info on this. Art

[SLE] ATI Radeon X600 and TV out
by Catimimi 03 Mar '05

03 Mar '05

Hi all, First I'm a full newbie with ATI. I use Nvidia on my desktop but I recently got a HP ZD8000 notebook fitted with a Radeon X600 chipset. Before trying to get TV out on it, I would like to know : - if someone succeeded ? - if yes : with the SuSE 9.2 driver or with the ATI driver ? - how to modify xorg.conf (xf86Config) in order to get it to work, for instance do I have to add (as for Matrox) a second graphic card ? Oh, a copy of the file would be good ! Any help will save my time and then will be greatly appreciated. Many thanks in advance. Michel.

iPOD

During a previous post on another thread, someone mentioned iPOD. Is there Linux software that will work with the iPOD (eg. playlists, etc). I know the iPOD looks like a flash drive and will sync with Palm, etc. -- Jerry Feldman <gaf(a)blu.org> Boston Linux and Unix user group http://www.blu.org PGP key id:C5061EA9 PGP Key fingerprint:053C 73EC 3AC1 5C44 3E14 9245 FB00 3ED5 C506 1EA9
