[opensuse-factory] factory kernel-default-2.6.24_rc5_git2-2.i586.rpm
Hi, http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/SL-OSS-factory/inst-source/suse/i586/ kernel-default-2.6.24_rc5_git2-2.i586.rpm used in factory installation in VirtualBox (latest) can start only with acpi=off, but then system timer runs very fast. Old kernel is, as usually, removed. Booting in runlevel 3 and changing clock source from pit to tsc seems to be work. I guess it is a time to reload Alpha0 and start again. -- Regards, Rajko - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

My P2A-B has a K6/2-500. Any K6* of 400HMz or more should add enough performance to get around several problems. IIRC, that Cyrix CPU only supports a FSB speed of up to 75 MHz, while those K6 chips will all do 100 on the P5A-B. Next, Socket 7 systems were originally designed to depend on motherboard cache for RAM. I don't remember if the Ali chipset does better than most, but I doubt it supports cache for all 512M. I do remember my K6/2-550 was considerably slower on benchmarks with 384M than with 256M on a Tyan S1590 Trinity @ 100 MHz FSB (Via MVP3 chipset). The cache on a K6-III+ chip gets around any shortage of motherboard cache, and can usually be run at 50-150 MHZ above its official rating. So, the OS might be slow and have problems that need a solution, but a cheap or free CPU upgrade should go a long way to alleviate some pain. Have you run a RAM checker like memtest86? Does the Linux actually find all 512M? I thought Socket 7 chips were limited to 384M. Yes, sorry I was reading the swap size I had set, it is using 256MB ram! I take your point I could make the system faster, but I am fairly sure I shouldn't need to.

[opensuse] Opensuse and USB card reader?
Hi, I am currently in the market for a flash card and floppy disk reader. Yes, floppy disks, the 3.5 ones. The reason I would like a reader for floppy disks as I have in excess of 100 disks that contain Windows drivers that I have needed over the years. Some of these have not been replaced by newer versions as the hardware itself didn't ever fail and so the old adage of If it ain't broke, Don't fix it probably came to the developers mind. I will probably not ever need them again, but they might come in handy for a friend/business associate. With this utility I will be able to transfer the driver files onto a USB flashdisk and also keep another copy in my ~/, which gets backed up each day to an external USB HDD. The device will also allow me to read some of the camera flash cards as well, which might prove pretty darn handy when one of the Folks' Windows machine refuses to copy off the flashdisk. I have identified a bit of hardware, but would appreciate any other suggestions, provided they work 100% on openSUSE 10.2. My first choice, is the Ultra 7-in-1 Digital Media Drive (Model: ULT1799). It is listed in the opensuse HCL but I cannot find any stockist information, especially any located here in South Africa. Has anybody used such a device who can advise me on where to get it? If not, can you suggest an alternative? I have seen an Iomega(Model 32999) that is Mac OS X Leopard compatible but my knowledge does not let me know if it is opensuse compatible.Can I assume in 90% of the cases that what works on a Mac OS X will work on opensuse Linux?

[opensuse] openSUSE 10.3 system freeze when reading secondary IDE channel
After upgrading from SUSE 10.1 to openSUSE 10.3 I'm experiencing system freezes when reading data from the secondary IDE channel. I've got two drives both a hard disk and a optical drive on both the primary and the secondary channel. This problem seems to appear only when using the mouse while reading data with high transfer rates from the secondary IDE channel. These freezes didn't happen under SUSE 10.1 (Kernel version 2.6.16) and don't happen under Knoppix 5.0.1 (Kernel version 2.6.17). They also happen when I'm using the openSUSE 10.3 Live CD KDE. No freeze occurs while writing data. While reading, the higher the data transfer rates the sooner the freeze will happen. In most cases first the mouse freezes followed by the keyboard. Sometimes I can still trigger an Emergency Sync by pressing ALT+SysRq+S but I cannot control the KDE desktop or switch to a console with the keyboard. Often I can shutdown the computer properly by pressing the power button of my PC but sometimes even this won't work and I have to reset the computer. Maybe I should also mention that since the upgrade I'm encountering occasionally sporadic freezes of the whole computer, mostly with blinking LEDs on the keyboard.

[opensuse] 10.3 boot freeze without noapic but USB doesn't hotplug
Hi folks, I have a HP9000 (dv9205CA) which has a Turion (AMD) processor, and 1.25Gig of memory, and a 100Gig SATA drive. I have been using openSuSE for a while, and let the dust settle from the 10.3 update before moving from 10.2 to 10.3(64bits). Under 10.2 I had to prevent the system from reading the real time clock to get it to boot otherwise it would freeze. Under 10.3, it locks up while booting after a good install, unless I add noapic to the boot command. That really fixes the problem, but I have a USB KVM, and now if I switch over to my Windoze laptop, when I come back to my Linux box, it no longer sees the keyboard and mouse (USB) .. :-( I thought the problem was AppArmor, but disabling it does not help, I added the same option to /etc/sysconfig/clock but that didn't fix it either...

[opensuse] building x86_64 kernel on ia32; using x86_64 kern w/ia32 packages?
I have a build machine currently running the ia32 release of suse10.2. It is running with a locally built vanilla kernel (2.6.23.1). What I'd like to try is compiling the kernel sources for x86_64. Is this possible? Do I need to obtain or build special cross compiler packages to build x86_64 images under ia32? If I already have 32-bit packages installed, is it possible to boot successfully with a 64-bit kernel? I.e. supposedly one can run 32-bit programs on a 64-bit machine, yes? Does this mean I could run my currently installed 32-bit packages if I boot with a 64-bit kernel? I'm not expecting to use such a setup in a production environment, but more as an intermediate test state -- with the 64-bit packages replacing the 32-bit packages after I've gotten the kernel to work. If I have a 64-bit kernel (and packages), am I still able to build 32-bit kernels and packages? The machine I'd like to upgrade to 64-bit is my primary build machine (it's 4-12x faster than the other machines) so I want to be able to continue using it as a 32-bit build machine.

Re: [opensuse] openSUSE 10.3 system freeze when reading secondary IDE channel
On Dec 16, 2007 11:41 AM, Theo Wollenleben [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: After upgrading from SUSE 10.1 to openSUSE 10.3 I'm experiencing system freezes when reading data from the secondary IDE channel. I've got two drives both a hard disk and a optical drive on both the primary and the secondary channel. This problem seems to appear only when using the mouse while reading data with high transfer rates from the secondary IDE channel. These freezes didn't happen under SUSE 10.1 (Kernel version 2.6.16) and don't happen under Knoppix 5.0.1 (Kernel version 2.6.17). They also happen when I'm using the openSUSE 10.3 Live CD KDE. No freeze occurs while writing data. While reading, the higher the data transfer rates the sooner the freeze will happen. In most cases first the mouse freezes followed by the keyboard. Sometimes I can still trigger an Emergency Sync by pressing ALT+SysRq+S but I cannot control the KDE desktop or switch to a console with the keyboard. Often I can shutdown the computer properly by pressing the power button of my PC but sometimes even this won't work and I have to reset the computer. Maybe I should also mention that since the upgrade I'm encountering occasionally sporadic freezes of the whole computer, mostly with blinking LEDs on the keyboard. Any hints to solve this problem are appreciated. Theo, I suspect one of your problems is that (by default) 10.3 has problems with some CD / DVD players that somehow impacts HDD is the system. (ie. ATAPI devices). See Novell Bugzilla 331610 for a little of the history. And when its fixed, I suspect that bugzilla will get updated. Until then, I would try to use the traditional ide drivers.
