I know that the E6600 runs well on Linux. Anyone have a Q6600 running and have opinions on this quad processor over the dual above? Cheers, Bob -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

========== Are the same bugs built into the quad core as are in the dual core? Might be something you want to check about before investing. Lee -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Did you file a bugreport? Where does it fail? Which hardware is not working?

Andreas, I've done the following: Last week i went to buy a new PC. I decided to get an acer aspire ASE700 which comes witch a Quad Intel 6600 Processor, 2 GB RAM and 500GB Harddrive. It seemed to be a pretty good deal for the price they had offered it. Anyways, after playing around with Windows Vista, I would have liked to really use my system and install Suse 10.2 on it. Okay, i downloaded the single CD to install from the net. booted from it - black screen after LILO. Okay I thought, it maybe the CD. I downloaded all the ISOs, burned em and now: The bootmanager comes up, when I select "installation" and "Text Mode" it loads the kernel and gets stuck on "ACPI: PCI Root Bridge [PCI0] (0000:00)" I have no idea what this means but above this it says: "your CPUs had inconsistent fixed MTRR settings ACPI: probably your BIOS does not setup all CPUs. ACPI: corrected configuration. ACPI: Interpreter enabled ACPI: Using IOAPIC for interrupt routing ACPI: PCI Root Bridge [PCI0] (0000:00)" Ctrl-Alt-Del doesn't work anymore Okay, Power-off, Power-on This time I selected "Installation--ACPI Disabled" (and text mode) "loading kernel" seems to be fine but it gets stuck on a screen saying: "PCI: Found IRQ 5 with 0000:00:02.0 PCI: Found IRQ 5 with 0000:00:03.0 PCI: Found IRQ 5 with 0000:00:1a.0 PCI: Found IRQ 5 with 0000:00:1c.0 PCI: Found IRQ 5 for device 0000:00:1c.0 PCI: Found IRQ 5 with 0000:00:01.0 PCI: Found IRQ 5 with 0000:00:02.0 PCI: Found IRQ 5 with 0000:00:03.0 PCI: Found IRQ 5 with 0000:00:1a.0 NET: Registered protocol family 2 Ctrl-Alt-Del doesn't work anymore Okay, Power-off, Power-on This time I selected "Installation--Local APIC Disabled" (and text mode) "loading kernel" seems to be finebut it gets stuck again, this time the screen says: "ACPI Interpreter enabled ACPI: Using PIC for interrupt routing ACPI: PCI Root Bridge [PCI0] (0000:00)" So i really don't know further. Does anyone know any of above messages? I've also tried to boot with following commands: acpi=off acpi=oldboot pci=acpi pci=noacpi acpi=noirq pci=routeirq acpi=force acpi_irq_balance acpi_irq_nobalance apic noapic lapic nolapic but it's all been unsuccesful. May anyone help me to get it installed? It would so much be appreciated! I've asked in alt. os. linux.suse but nobody was able to help me from there... I'm getting desperate... :o Thank you!

Ron, Please do file a bugreport at bugzilla.novell.com - and I would appreciate if you test Beta3 since it contains many bugfixes. Beta3 will be available later this week, Andreas -- Andreas Jaeger, Director Platform/openSUSE, aj@suse.de SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GPG fingerprint = 93A3 365E CE47 B889 DF7F FED1 389A 563C C272 A126

========= I think that may be his best chance of getting an install Andreas, to install 10.3. Sounds to me like the newer kernel may help a lot on such new hardware. I suppose also, he could download a LiveCD that uses the new kernel, 2.6.22 or better to test with that also. Wouldn't matter what distro to test with, since there is no 10.3 LiveCD out yet, he's just looking to get something running to help solve his problem. luck, Lee -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

luck, Lee Yes,

I think i'll try Suse 10.3 beta as soon as available. This is I guess my only chance... or doesn anyone know of a live CD using kernel 2.6.22? Ron -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

What version of Linux are you trying to install? What kind of errors are you getting? We had some major headaches getting some newer motherboards working with older versions of Linux. -- kr -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

10.2, 32bit, from retail DVD. I first installed minimal, later KDE. I had the problem that the whole system crashed when going into runlevel 3 from 5, or just switching from the desktop to the console. After adding vga=cantremember to grub it works fine again (i remember there was a bug about this with nvidia cards). I'm not tested everything, but so far the system runs fine for me. I will try beta3 on the weekend on this system. btw: is you bios up to date? Some boards may have just rudimentary support to recognize the CPU and some fixes in later releases. -- with kind regards, Martin Lasarsch, Core Services SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5 90409 Nürnberg GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) martin.lasarsch@suse.de - http://www.opensuse.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I haven't checked for a bios update yet but my hope for this is limited.... but i got zenwalk live CD 4.6 booted on my system, i just set "acpi=off" in the boot loader commandline and it booted up just fine. It features kenel 2.6.21 so i'm in hope that suse 10.3 with a new kernel and "acpi=off" will boot just fine, unless i'll report a bug for sure (haven't done thisd for 10.2 yet - don't think it's still necessary either). Which kernel is used in the opensuse 10.3 beta3 which will be released this week? Thanks for help, especially to Lee ("BandiPat") who actually recommended me to get the Zenwalk LiveCD. :) Worked out fine, thanks but still would like to get Suse on my disk :) Ron -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

The CPU itself should not cause any problems - if you get some, I would expect them in the components, Andreas -- Andreas Jaeger, Director Platform/openSUSE, aj@suse.de SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GPG fingerprint = 93A3 365E CE47 B889 DF7F FED1 389A 563C C272 A126

I just built a computer around the Q6600 (watch Linux Brain Dump for a complete expose!) and ran into one problem - the infamous "can't find the installation CD" problem. I haven't tried the Hacking openSUSE 10.2 answer found here: http://www.softwareinreview.com/cms/content/view/60/ yet though. 10.3 beta 2, on the other hand, installed fine, but I'd rather not use it for my main personal system (and I couldn't get the nvidia drivers to install either). Some new kernels find the CD and SATA drive just fine (10.3, Fedora 7), while others don't (10.2, PCLinuxOS 2007). So it has more to do with the surrounding hardware than it does the Q6600 itself. I do see 4 "cpus" anyway! -- Jonathan Arnold (mailto:jdarnold@buddydog.org) LinuxBrainDump, Linux HowTo's and Tutorials: http://www.linuxbrainddump.org Daemon Dancing in the Dark, an Open OS weblog: http://freebsd.amazingdev.com/blog/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

[snip] Last night i have recognized that if i disable ACPI in my BIOS, I'm able to boot from the suse 10.2 install CD without any parameters. But Windows wouldn't boot anymore but whatever.... I'm actually not concerned about Windows not booting when ACPI is disabled, i'm just wondering why it doesn't boot anymore but suse 10.2 is coming up instead. Note: I haven't installed suse 10.2 yet. Thanks for some info! Ron -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
