It caused a renumbering of the PCI devices on my system. At least, my nVidia card got a new PCI location and I needed to update xorg.conf to get X11 up again. --- Jan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I did. This was a bit more work than expected as the upgrade from 10.1 to 10.2 stopped after resolving some package inconsistency with a non-informative message (sorry, forgot which). I did a fresh install of 10.2 :-( Unfortunately this made the situation even worse. In 10.1 the system was totally reliable, just the network connection died every now and than. Under 10.2, the system freezed completely two times within 24 hours. It also lost the network once. Where a simple ifdown/ifup worked in 10.1, it had no effect in 10.2 (also no alarming messages in /var/log/messages, just no network). As it is running important network services, I can't affort much downtime. I disabled the internal NIC and placed a good old 3com 3c905B. No problems sofar :-) Some more info: in 10.1 the problems appeared more frequent while the system is in use interactively. It has a nVidia GeForce 7300 LE graphics running in dual-head configuration using the nVidia driver. It also appeared that during times with poor response from the University services (the machine is NIS client) things got worse. I'm afraid this isn't much to go after :-( I guess the advice must be not to use the described combo for anything serious.

[opensuse] Marvel 88E8053 and SuSE 10.1
Hi, I've got a box using an ASUS P5W DH with Intel core duo and two onboard Marvel 88E8053 (rev 20) gigabit ethernet adapters. Only one is configured (somehow on eth1) and connected to the 100MB University network. The card was configured automatically by Yast2 and uses the sky2 driver. The network is often quite heavily loaded (mostly CVS and HTTP). Most of the time, all works fine. From time to time however the connection is hopelessly slow. Running ifdown eth1 && ifup eth1 generally restores it to working state. Fun thing is that I often find myself in a situation where I can no longer reach any host on the local network, but I can still reach hosts further away. As I'm the only one having trouble and ifdown/ifup restores, it must be my problem. I've seen various posts on the status of the Marvel 88E8053 and Linux. Many people experience problems. Many are old, irrelevant, etc. I can't afford too much playing with this machine, so my concrete question is, what would you recomment: * Upgrade to SuSE 10.2? * Use another driver? I tried sk98lin that comes with the 10.1 2.6.16.27-0.9-smp kernel, but it won't recognise the controller. Is there a newer source release of the sky2 driver? * Forget about it and place a simple well supported 100MB ethernet controller? * Other options ... ? Thanks for any hints --- Jan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[opensuse] boot fails: bash cannot find libhistory.so.5
Hi, Today I rebooted after installing the upgrades on my 10.1 installation which included a new kernel. The kernel panicked while starting bash with the message that it could not find libhistory.so.5. I was a bit surprised. This is the first such severe upgrade problem since I run SuSE (since 5.x). Worse, starting the rescue system didn't show anything wrong with the libhistory.so.5. Mounted /dev/hda1 on /mnt. I could not run any command using LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/mnt/lib command All crashed on a segmentation fault. Not sure this should be possible, as the rescue system is running an older version of libc. When I copied libhistory.so.5 to a new dir and used that using the tick above, the shell runs just fine ... Now comes the real problem. Thinking it wasn't a too bad idea to upgrade to 10.2, I installed a fresh 10.2 from DVD (from the box). Complete install, keeping the old partitions, but make it reformat / using reiserfs (old was also reiserfs). Installation was totally smooth, but when rebooting the installed system, the same cannot find libhistory.so.5 error was back!?. Started rescue system. All looks right, and it is indeed a 10.2 root partition on /dev/hda1. Tested memory. No issues. Ran fsck /dev/hda1. No issues. The machine is about 4 years old, dual AMD 2600+, two IDE harddrives. Has always been running SuSE and never failed on me. I'm starting to panick. This surely looks like a software problem, but why on two different SuSE releases. Couldn't find any related messages in this list or on the net in general. If nobody has the same issue hardware might be the problem, but disc and memory test fine!? Any clue?
