[opensuse] Unfound USB
I'm not at the box I rec'd the other day for a "fitting" of openSUSE 10.2, replacing XP Media version. The box is an HP with AMD Athalon 64 X2(dual core) 4200, 1G RAM, and 250G SATA drive.....nice box. I have 2 problems with it. The first is it has a nVidia 6150LE chipset and won't use 3D with the nVidia driver. The biggest problem is that even though all USB ports were working (under XP), they DON'T with SUSE!! The printer that has to work with this box is USB and can't be seen. I've tried a number of "thumb RAM" and none are seen. They "light up" so I know there's connectivity but Linux isn't seeing them. This probably isn't enough data, but it's all I have without being on that box. 'First time I've had a box refuse to see USB. Thanks for any help!

I had the same problem with a dell optiplex at work, running 10.2 64bit on a dualcore pentium d. I had "CPUFREQ=0" appended to the kernel params to get rid of the messages saying cpu scaling not supported. Found that i could enable cpu clock scaling in the bios, which led to working cpu throttling, AND to working USB ports!! Now, I dunno if the solution works for you... and especially, i do not know the connection between being able to throttle the cpu clock, and being able to use usb... but it helped in my case. YMMV. bye, MH -- gpg key fingerprint: 5F64 4C92 9B77 DE37 D184 C5F9 B013 44E7 27BD 763C -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Hi Fred, The problem is with SMP kernel for more than one CPU present in the system: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=231118 the link at the end has typo. Use this one: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/projects/kernel/kotd/x86_64/HEAD and kernel-default.x86_64.rpm is link to latest release candidate, now that is rc7. You can install rpm, but you need kernel sources to compile nVidia driver anyway. BTW, The 6100 worked fine on Athlon 64, and tradition continues with FX5200. Same about USB ports. -- Regards, Rajko. http://en.opensuse.org/Portal -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
