I can install Debian just fine, nothing looked wrong... but for some reason i cannot boot into Debian. apparently it's not JUST Debian either; it looks like it's Ubuntu(using a liveCD), too (haven't tried DSL yet).
[Code]...
OS Version: CentOS 5.3
Motherboard: ASUS M3A78-CM (BIOS v.2003)
I have a single disk running the base OS and just installed 2 x Seagate 500GB SATA 3.0 drives in a RAID1 set that I would like to use for data storage. The OS sees the drives individually but not the RAID. Has anyone worked with a similar board and has any ideas what I need to do to get the OS to recognize the RAID1 array?
I appear to have the exact problem that is currently listed in the 7.6 errata about EFI boot and black screen while trying to install ("Potential issues with UEFI booting on amd64"). The problem is that their workaround is not an option for me. This is a new rig and the motherboard doesn't appear to have any kind of ability to disable secure boot. I also don't know if my problem is exactly what they're thinking when it comes to that entry.
I'm able to get to the Grub install screen where you have the option to install Debian but when I select an option (any option) the screen turns off, back on but is black. All activity in the system stops after a few seconds (3-5 seconds) and that's it, she's done. I've tried all the options to try and disable secure boot but the options listed below are as close as I can get (and apparently should be sufficient).
The CD ISO used was the 7.6 netinst CD. I've also tried the Jessie ISO (Testing) that was downloaded about 2 hours ago. Same results. Unlike the errata which says "intermittent booting problems", my issue is consistently reproduced with no other result no matter what I do.
The rig:
-Asus H97-Plus running revision 2202
-Intel i5-4570
-32GB DDR3-1600
-128GB SSD Drive
-No external video card - using on board only but have tried both VGA and HDMI ports with the same result.
BIOS settings (is it still called BIOS or is it UEFI now?)
-Fast Boot: Disabled
-Launch CSM: Enabled
-Boot Device Control: "Legacy OPROM Only" or "UEFI and Legacy OPROM" (tried both)
-Secure Boot State: Enabled (it's grayed out and I'm unable to change this)
-OS Type: Other OS (supposedly makes it so you can boot non-Windows OS)

Look for "Potential issues with UEFI booting on amd64"
The obvious suggestions I've tried:
-tried USB boot & CD boot - same result
-tried altering the grub script to add the ACPI options - no effect
I got an Asus M3A78-T motherboard last year, along with a Phenom 9650 CPU and 2GB of RAM. I originally tried to install Sabayon, but it would occasionally hang while running. I decided to give Fedora another try (wasn't happy with FC4 a few years back) at the constant chiding of my friend.
My first try was with the x86_64 Fedora 10 ISO, using an IDE hard drive and CDROM. It would hang a little bit into something like 'copying system files, at the same place every time. Thinking it was a bad burn, bad iso, or something (checksum and image verification passed) I went ahead and got the DVD ISO. The DVD would always hang a little bit into "Formatting file system." At this point, I have tried EVERY other combination of hardware - swapped out ram, CPU, PS, bought SATA hard drive and DVDROm drive, unplugged the mouse, and even the case pigtails for USB and Firewire. It always hangs in the same place. Somewhere along the process, I took the motherboard back and exchanged it for a new one. Still fails, and in exactly the same place.
The system hang is a hard lockup. Mouse freezes, no keyboard activity (even LED status changes.) The drive activity LED will go out and the progress bar stops advancing.
I'm surprised I'm not seeing anyone else with this problem - I thought this board was a bit more prevalent, but I'm guessing not! What's my next step? I would create a bug report, but I don't know what subsystem is causing the hang. I suspect SATA drivers, but I'm not sure how to test that.
And one other clue - I get a scrambled video screen before it comes up to the first X install screen:
It only lasts for 5 seconds or so, then comes up okay.
So i hava a ASUS M3N78-VM mobo and recently i got a Athlon II 250 CPU tp replace my aging Athlon 3200+. I installed the BIOS update 1407 that includes support for this CPU. I have Debian Squeeze installed.
I have installed the 2.6.35 kernel from experimental and this has the k10temp module that is made for the k10 series AMD CPUs (Athlon II etc). But there is also the atk0110 ACPI module that gets sensor readings fom voltages, MB and CPU temps from the motherboard (i think so). The issue is this: if i run sensors i get this:
Code:
# sensors
atk0110-acpi-0
Adapter: ACPI interface
Vcore Voltage: +1.07 V (min = +0.80 V, max = +1.80 V)
[Code]...
Notice the difference between the 2 module's reported temperature for the CPU (34 C vs 19.2 C). I rebooted the computer and entered the BIOS - it has shown the values shown by the acpi sensor (it increased rapidly to 38-39 but gone back to 34-35 after i loaded the OS). Does this mean that the k10temp module reports erroneous temperature or that everybody else (BIOS + ACPI sensor) is wrong and i have an ice cool CPU?
Trying to install 10.04 and remix 10.04 in model AO521-3165 Aspire One 521 Athlon II Neo Procesor K125 gives an installation failure. (Tested in several AO521 giving the same result all of them with the latest bios update)
a) The first message: Disabling IRQ # 18
b) 10.04 in mode installing without modification gets into a 3 sound loop and then halts completely.
c) remix in mode installing without modification gets into the gnome screen but the keyboard is completely dead.
d) Installing both of them in the hard disk can partition hard disk but then the system asks the name and password and again the keyboard is dead.
Here is another message trying to install BackTrack4R1 giving maybe more clues: [Firmware bug] PCI MMConfig at (mem 0xe0000000 - 0xe03fffff not reserved in ACPI motherboard resources i8042.C: Can�t read CTR while initializing i8042 irq18 nobody cared (try booting with the "irqpool" option) Disabling IRQ #18
e) The same result with Open Suse.
i bought asus eeepc 1005pe. Win 7 is already installed. So i want to have dual boot with ubuntu 10.04 64bit, but asus wont boot from any of my usb sticks (i made 2 bootable usb sticks). It recognizes them in bios, i seleceted sandisk as the first bootable device, but it always starts win 7.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI can't get my Asus Eeepc 1005HA to boot from usb so as to re install Ubuntu. I did it right once - obviously - and now have a malfunctioning dual boot partition. My memory is of having to hit a function key repeatedly once I'd changed the BIOS and restarted the computer. Asus forums all repeatedly give me the same advice - F2 for BIOS, F10 to save settings then it should boot up, but --- nothing --- works.
So. Any additional or creative advice? The computer doesn't have a CD drive. My thumb drive is a Delkin 4gig... are there thumb drives known to work for this operation?
I bought a netbook asus 1015pn, which is at first under Windows 7 Starter, and I want to run it under Ubuntu exclusively. I know the main procedure as I already did it on two computers, but here I have a problem to boot my netbook on my external CD burner : I can't find how to access to the configuration of the boot order. using del, I can configure how I want to boot Windows (safe mod, recovering, and so on...) but I can't find how to boot on any other peripheral.
View 8 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to install 10.10 to my very old 1GHhz Athlon based desktop machine, but when I boot with the CD in the drive, the machine just hangs at the 1st screen. Pressing Esc during boot to see what is going on, I find that the boot always gets as far as:"Checking battery status..."
As a desktop machine, it doesn't even have a battery. Is there anything I can do about this? Can I disable this check? The CD worked fine in a work machine (and quite nice it looked too btw!)
Recently I installed Ubuntu 10.04 in my Eee PC 1201n, dual boot with Win7. I got some error at booting, it says: nForce2_smbus 0000:00:03.2: Error probing SMB2. It not happened when I used 9.10, dual boot. After the error appearing, the system will stay still for around 20 seconds, then start to react to log in interface.Do any one meet the same problem,
View 6 Replies View RelatedI tried to run Ubuntu 10.10 - Netbook and Ubuntu 10.4 live CDs on my ASUS 901.
Both run well.
But neither reboot after clean install.
After the machines BIOS splash screen there is just a blinking cursor at the left top of the screen. No ubuntu/linux/kernel messages whatsoever.
I tried installing both versions on both SSD-s (4GB & 32GB) and ensured the BIOS was correctly set to boot from the correct one.
I searched the net quite a lot but didn't find anything that could relate to an ASUS 901
ok i have a asus eeePC:
i installed puppy linux on my KINGSTON data traveler G2 and i cant figure out how i select my flash drive from the boot esc menu ive tried changing the boot settings
oh yea the flash drive is 5 gigs so i want to use its memory
I boot up after a fresh install and I don't get a boot splash screen. I really cant find a way to fix and some times it does not go to the login screen.
View 1 Replies View RelatedA few days back, I burned a CD with Ubuntu 10.10 (maverick?). Have since installed 10.10 on an old desktop (pentium ii, 1.15 ghz) and it boots up ok - (apart from a 'freeze' issue which varies from 10 mins to 2 1/2 hours) Anyway, my immediate problem is I'm using the SAME CD to install 10.10 on a AMD Athlon laptop (which previously ran Windows XP). The installation process starts with the usual: TRY/INSTALL screen - I select INSTALL. The whole process runs for about 40 mins, using the entire 60gb drive (I've got rid of XP). The final few messages are: 'installing system', 'copying installation logs' 'installation complete' - 'restart now'. So, the CD is ejected after which I get a string of '2380 nnnnnn i/o error device sector 533280'messages. Then, 'will now restart' At the restart, up comes the UBUNTU screen and the intro clip...and there it stays. My question, does anybody know what could be happening - if anything?? Remembering that this CD was installed on the desktop.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI recently built a system using an Asus P8H67-M LE motherboard, 4GB ram, and an Intel core i5-2500K processor. Fedora 14 won't work on it.
I installed F14 32bit from the install DVD, had to install with the basic video driver. When I booted for the first time, it took me through the setup dialog (timezone, create user ....) but then just crashed. It restarted the final setup again upon hard reset. I tried booting into runlevel 2 and did a yum update (early march) from my local repository(usb hdd), but still no joy. The system seems to be ok, but the GUI crashes.
I have tried booting nomodeset xdriver=vesa, but no joy.
Personally I have an intel PC which runs Ubuntu 8.04 smoothly. I tried booting the live-cd from an AMD athlon and encounterred the above mentioned message as an error after loading. I went into the bios and disabled the floppy drive as a third booting option as the machine does not have one in it but I still encounter the same problem. I can insert the floppy drive but doubt that would work?
View 1 Replies View RelatedThe Wikipedia says that the frequency of the Athlon 64 X2 3800+ is 2000 MHz.
For that processor, on FC 12 64 bit
cat /proc/cpuinfo
shows:
cpu MHz : 1000.000
for each processor.
Is that supposed to "add up" to 2000 MHz for both? My old GA-K8N-Ultra SLI motherboard has its BIOS set for "top performance", so I hesitate increase any clock speed or multiplier.
How's the X2 in terms of compatibility with F12. I see some deals that tempt me to pick up a cheap small desktop and those desktops use that AMD chip (along side an ATI Radeon) I prefer sticking with intel and maybe build my own, but I am curious about how AMD holds up in performance and/or compatibility with Fedora

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a desktop PC that I built back when I was a teenager, running Ubuntu 10.04 LTS and nothing else. I love it, but for one thing: the dang CPU usage hits at least 99% whenever any application besides Xorg is open and running. This doesn't affect performance too much, but if Windows XP Home Edition never gets close to 100% usage, then I figure there's something going on.

I currently know next to nothing about networks in Linux (yes I am working on that). I have just brought a Asus n13 wireless adapter after failing to get my laptop wireless working. I am using the 2.6.32-5 Debian squeeze kernel. The device connected once after I did the following:
apt-get update
modprobe rt2870sta
iwconfig
ifconfig wlan0 up
The device connected to wifi and was working fine. I then shutdown and rebooted to see if it would automatically connect on start up and now, although nothing seems to have changed and even after I repeated the steps above it did not connect. The network manager applet as well as listing the asus adapter(as ralink 802.11 WLAN) lists a Texas instruments PCI1410 pc card cardbus controller which i didn't before.
This is the output of iwconfig:

I just installed a fresh install of firmware-8.1.0-amd64-netinst.iso. During installation the wireless setup utility located my wifi-network and upon entering my WPA password it said it was connected. It didn't work however so I plugged in my ethernet cable and continued the install process hoping it would magically start working after that. No luck.
I went from an Arch Linux install with working wifi, and I dual-boot my box with Windows 7 with working wifi, so I know it's not the card or the distance from the router.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI recently bought a used Asus eee 1001PX. It came installed with some spyware called windows which I replaced with jessie. Everything works great but one thing. When I plug in headphones I get no sound in the headphones. If I have some audio running and plug them in while it's playing it doesn't cut the audio from the built in speakers off like it should do. If I start and look at Output Devices in pauvcontrol it seems like it at least recognizes that I have headphones inserted.
I didn't have a chance to test if the physical audio jack was broken while it had Windows running on it but assuming that it's not physically broken, what might be wrong? I know very little about audio, alsa, pulse and that kind of stuff so I hardly know even where to start.

I don't get any sound with any version of Lenny on my new ASUS M4A785TD-V EVO motherboard. However the sound works fine when I boot from the Debian Live 60 Alpha1 AMD64 KDE DVD.
