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

Software Raid on Power, sles9 SP1
by Tomas Baublys 11 Mar '05

11 Mar '05

Hi list, I am installing SLES9 SP1 on on p615 and OpenPower using software raid. I am using md0 for / (root) and md1 for LVM and usrlv, varlv, homelv etc. on it. This is how my partitioning looks like: Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 * 1 12 24560 6 FAT16 /dev/sda2 18 118 206848 fd Linux raid autodetect /dev/sda3 119 17357 35305472 fd Linux raid autodetect Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sdb1 * 1 12 24560 6 FAT16 /dev/sdb2 18 118 206848 fd Linux raid autodetect /dev/sdb3 119 17357 35305472 fd Linux raid autodetect After the base installation the system is not bootable: "Config file error: Syntax error near line 2 in file yaboot.cnf ". So I need to start a rescue system, mount the /dev/sda1 and remove the line "partition= " in the yaboot.cnf . This line is produced by /sbin/lilo script, line 397: echo "partition = ${yaboot_part##*:}" Changing the line to test -z "${yaboot_part##*:}" || echo "partition = ${yaboot_part##*:}" would help, unfortunately I only can do it in the autoyast or remove the "partition=" line in the postinstall script. Do you have any ideas how to correct this during manual installation without using a rescue system? Mit freundlichen Gruessen / Best regards, Tomas Baublys IBM Germany, Godesberger Allee 115, 53175 Bonn

XFS on SLES9
by Tomas Baublys 11 Mar '05

11 Mar '05

Hello, I would like to use XFS on Power at least for data partitions. For some reason XFS is not included in the file system list in Yast, I also did not managed to use it in autoyast. After the installation of the xfs-utils it was easy to format a logical volume with xfs on command line. What is the reason, for not including XFS in the Yast? Are there some known issues about using XFS on Power? Is it supported? Tomas Baublys

xlC regcomp on SLES
by jonas tyler 06 Mar '05

06 Mar '05

Hi, When using IBM C++ compiler xlC on SLES, I came across the following problem. When the attached program is compiled with xlC, it reports: The wrong number of arguments have been specified for "regcomp()". The C compiler xlc does not have such problem. I wonder if anybody has some advice on how to address this. I have been asking quite several questions here lately :). -Jonas. #include <sys/types.h> #include <regex.h> main() { regex_t * regp; char * exp; int flag; regcomp(regp, exp,flag); } __________________________________ Celebrate Yahoo!'s 10th Birthday!

ELF32 for PPC
by jonas tyler 03 Mar '05

03 Mar '05

Hi, The elf format definition document did not say how the .line section is defined. Does anyone know where to get such information for PPC? I am trying to map a function symbol to the file where it is defined. I don't get any clue from the ELF document how this should be done. Can anybody here give some hints? I know that GNU BINUTILS does this, but I didn't get through the source code. Thanks. Jonas __________________________________ Celebrate Yahoo!'s 10th Birthday! Yahoo!

Re: [suse-ppc] Package Managers for Suse PPC?
by Erik Hentell 02 Mar '05

02 Mar '05

Hello! Thanks for responding. I was primarily interested because I had been told that RPMs are a little distribution-specific. That is, RPMs for Redhat might not work 100% with SuSE, and so forth. I was sort of prompted to think about this when I was trying to install GNUstep on my SuSE box. I carefully downloaded all the software the packages were dependant on, compiled each with no problems (not RPMs, tar.gz files). GNUstep, however, started throwing warnings left and right, and although it compiled, a couple programs wouldn't start correctly (Project Builder would segfault, for example). I don't think it's an issue with GNUstep per se. I probably misconfigured something or didn't run Make with the right flags or something. Anyway, it was a hassle. I don't mind downloading tarballs and configuring & compiling them, but it's just easier if there's a package system that handles the details automatically. It's kind of the lazy way out, but it reduces hassle.
