am I hacked ?
by Damir Buskulic 16 Sep '08

Hi, I got some problems (disk access denied, bus errors,...) that led me to go into single user mode and fsck my partitions. I noticed then that there were some directories created in the tmp directory, called "dev" and "etc", and one file in the / directory called "success" with 0 length. At reboot, these files disapeared. Does anybody know if this could be a sign of a hacked computer ? I mean could someone have installed a rootkit or some such ? I'm not paranoid but this indeed seems strange.

SLES9 / IBM 7025 F50 - Problems with SMP kernel
by Braulio Gergull 13 Jul '05

13 Jul '05

I've just installed SLES9 on a IBM 7025 F50 with 2 processors. In contrast to SLES8 there was no problem during the installation process. The only problem is that YaST installed default kernel (non SMP). I've installed the SMP kernel that ships with the distribution, ran mk_initrd and made the relevant changes to yaboot. However this kernel won't boot the machine, in fact the boot process aborts before the kernel is loaded into memory. Is there anybody using SLES9 on a F50 with multi processor support? rgrds, Bráulio Gergull gergull(a)getnet.com.br

performance monitoring API libs
by jonas tyler 25 Jan '05

Hi, I used to have performance monitoring API (/usr/include/pmapi.h) available with AIX running on the power3 box. But I could not find the file on SLES 7. Does anybody know if it is supported at all by even later versions 8 and 9? Can someone who has SLES 9 running on power boxes please check wether the header file exists ? Thanks. -Jonas __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com

installing SUSE LES on RS 6000 44p 270
by jonas tyler 25 Jan '05

25 Jan '05

Hi, I am trying to install SUSE LES 9 on an RS 6000 box and I always get the following message " Calling quiesce ... returning 0x01400000 from prom_init " and the machine hangs. Does anybody have similar prior experience and know how to deal with this? What does this 0x01400000 code mean? What does "quiesce" do? I googled, and could not find any documentation about that. There seems to be plenty of booting problem with prom_init returning this code, but I don't see how to address this during installation. Any suggestions? Thanks.

SLES9 on an IBM RS/6000 7046 B50
by Ingvar Hagelund 19 Jan '05

19 Jan '05

For fun, I installed SLES9 on my old B50. The installer worked more-or-less out of the box except for a lot of scsi timeout annoyances. I guess the reason is that the installer greps around inside /proc/pci instead of using lspci. The other flaw was that the installation of "lilo" (that is yaboot in disguise) did not work, and I've not got the time to make it work yet. Booting it up with a rescue cd shows that even lvm over software-raid was installed correctly using nothing but the yast installer. Next project: SLES9 on the 7248 *shiver* Ingvar -- Many that live deserve death. And some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then do not be too eager to deal out death in judgement. For even the very wise cannot see all ends. Gandalf
