Re: [SLE] Help please with a few problems in 8.1.
Hi, Some questions back: 1) Which program do you use to connect to the internet? Kinternet, wvdial, Kppp? If the one you uses does not work properly, have you tried one of the other? Can you send an error log from the connection program you use? 2) Check /var/log/messages and /var/log/boot.msg for any error messages that can be related to the checking of the disks. Send these to the list. 3) Check the same files as in 2 for error messages. Do you get any output of 'cat /proc/scsi/scsi' of 'ls /proc/scsi'. Also try 'lspci -vv | grep SCSI' as root.

Hello.
Getting right to the point I installed SuSE 8.1 to fresh partitions and since then I have been having some problems. I am hopeing that someone might be able to help me with the problems below.
1) My main problem is that I am having problems accessing the internet. My eth0 card is seen and seems to be seeing my provider, at least it gets the information, but I am unable to get Konquer to view any websites. It either times out, most of the time, or its connection fails. I have done what I know about and have had no luck fixing it myself. DHCP seemes to be fine ifstatus eth0 shows that it is connected to my provider, as far as I can tell. I am using RoadRunner cable as my provider.
2) I have 2 RAID 0 drives, Highpoint HTP370, that I built under WinDOS that are causing problems, and I can not access them. The problem occures during the booting of Linux. I keep getting lost interrupts, among other errors, for the 4 drives and it has caused my boot up to be over 9 minutes. Is there a way I can disable the checking of these drives, get Linux to recognize the partitions, or stop the error messages from taking Sooooo much time? Also when I access the partitioning part of Yast2 it takes several minutes before I see the partitions.
3) The last error that I know of now is that my SCSI card is not allowed to connect during boot, or has problems, and therefore it is not accessable. It was accessable in all of the other versions of SuSE Linux I have used, from 6.2 and it is still good since it is available in WinDOS.
Thank you in advance. James Ruhsam jruhsam@gmx.net

Hi, Then you probably use Kinternet. Check if you have that little connector icon down in the right corner, if not do Alt-F2 -> Kinternet. Click on the icon once and see what happens. Do you get connected? If not, right click on the icon and select View Log. There should be an error. You can send that to the list. Then use wvdial. You can run this command: 'wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf' to get a file to work with. Then open the file /etc/wvdial.conf as root and enter values for: phone= #dial-up number username= password= After than you can run 'wvdial' in an xterm to get connected. These lines should be the last lines when you have connected succesfully: --> pppd: Script /etc/ppp/ip-up run successful --> Default route Ok. --> Nameserver (DNS) Ok. --> Connected... Press Ctrl-C to disconnect Check if you can reach some websites from Konqueror now. If this does not work, check if your Firewall is correctly configured if that is activated.
