I recently purchased a motherboard but overlooked that there are no ide or fd plugs on it. What I am wondering is, since the solder points are on the motherboard, can I solder some plugs on or is the controller disabled/non existent?

I am currently running Fedora 14 on a 32-bit AMD XP motherboard. My plan is to replace the motherboard w/an AMD 64-bit (multicore, prob'ly) version (most likely w/a different h/w architecture) and I'd like to make sure my current applications and configuration (if that makes any sense) are moved en masse to the 64-bit version.
Is there an easy way to do this? What are my "gotchas"?
I've recently changed the motherboard of a redhat server that's been running fine otherwise. The new motherboard is different to the old one. I can't boot in now; getting "Kernal panic: VFS : Unable to mount root fs on 00:00" messages. I've run mkinitrd to rebuild the image file and have changed the grub.conf line to point to the new image file but it still occurs.
title Red Hat Linux (2.4.25)
root (hd0,0)
kernal /vmlinuz-2.4.18-14 ro root=LABEL=/
initrd /initrd.img.2.4.18-14
However; during the bootup I spy some "unknown IDE device" errors along with some "IRQ resource cannot be reserved" and/or "Could not enable IDE device" or similar messages. As per attached image.
I can detect the harddisk when I bootup using rescuecd and that's how i rebuilt the image file. I have tried changing the "ro root=" to "ro root=/dev/hda3" or other hdax figures; but still the same.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI 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.
I am trying to recover some data on some drives that are in the same LVM. When I upgraded the motherboard, I had complications getting the drives to all load under the LVM, and in the process I made the mistake of formatting one of the drives. The problem now is that the UUID changed on the drive so when I try to mount the LVM it can't find device with a certain UUID. When I try to set the UUID back to the old one it says 'Invalid UUID format'.
I can set it to a UUID generated through 'uuidgen', si I then noticed that the format of that UUID is different than the old one which I'm trying to set it to. Why is that? Is there a way I can get it to change to the old one in the different format?
The old format: yQtrVB-5jCk-vF10-05c2-AcDL-GNn1-ivdxxh
The new format: d5224587-a6cd-4a66-a12b-d7b75eec5871
Recently changed my motherboard. The new board has the 790FX/SB750 chipset, and the old board used the 770/SB600 chipset. Prior to the change, I had never had any problems reading/writing CDs or DVDs. I now find that reading a data CD is very slow, it can take up to 30 secs before the icon appears on the desktop and a filer window appears. In my tests thus far, only data CDs written on Linux can always be read, albeit slowly. Data CDs written on Windows are variable. Some are never seen by the system, others may or may not be opened. That is I might be able to read it during one test, and next time I try I can't.
When a CD is not 'seen', there is an initial flurry of activity by the drive, but the drive icon (in "Computer' window) doesn't think a disc is in the drive. I can boot OK off a DVD, and data DVDs wrtten on Linux are opened and read quite fast. I am running Fedora 12 x86_64 with the latest Fedora kernel package (2.6.32.9-70), and the Motherboard bios is the latest available. The CD/DVD drive is a SATA Pioneer DVR-215. I have checked the bios settings, and have tried setting 'storage configuration' to IDE and to AHCI, each giving the same result.
I tried switching the SATA data cable from SATA-3 to SATA-2 and was able to open and read a Windows data CD that had previously not been seen, but subsequent attempts have failed to open and read that CD. I suspect the problem may have something to do with hardware drivers, but I really am guessing about this and have not been able to find any useful information on this.

Much to my consternation, my video card blew a few capacitors. A local computer shop said that they tried a working PCI Express card, and the video was still not working, so they concluded the PCI Express slot was damaged as well. However, they also tried an older model video card that uses the PCI slots, and everything worked. So I ordered a new video PCI video card. It's on its way (Amazon). However, in the meantime I had a 1997-vintage video card sitting around, so when I got the computer back, I tried it. No signal to the monitor, not even motherboard booting beeps. Nothing. I called the shop back. He said even though my old card fit the PCI slot, new changes might have made it incompatible (16 vs. 32 bit, etc.). Anyway, even when I take the card out and boot, no beeps. That makes me wonder whether the old card did something, and now the motherboard is damaged beyond use. The man at the shop said the possible incompatibility of the old card should not have damaged the motherboard. Instead, he suggested that once a part of the motherboard is damaged (and we know the PCI Express slot is damaged), the motherboard as a whole can start acting erratically. However, it was beeping at the shop; now it is not.
I'm hoping those on this forum more knowledgeable about hardware than I am can give me some advice on the following questions.
(1) Does everything the shop did and said sound reasonable and likely?
(2) When my new PCI video card arrives from Amazon, if the computer still will not boot or even beep, does this prove I need a new motherboard?
(3) Is there any chance the motherboard could damage the new video card?
(4) Biggest issue: If I need a new motherboard, should I try to find one that accepts the same CPU and memory sticks? So far, I haven't been able to find one online. Or should I bite the bullet and get a new CPU and memory to match the new motherboard?
(5) If I get a new motherboard, new CPU, and new memory, can you suggest some possibilities of what I should look for? I don't want low-end, but for the work I do, I don't need really high-end, state-of-the-art either. I don't play computer games.
I just went out and bought stuff to build a new computer, and among the parts was a Gigabyte ga-890fxa-ud5 motherboard ([URL]). The board has 3 (well, 4, but we'll stick to the 3) main sata interfaces, with 2 slots per interface, allowing 6 sata drives. In slot_0 i put my blu-ray drive, in slot_1 i put my drive that will host the OS and its partitions, and that is in the sata connector pair on the left. The middle sata connector pair (slot_2 and slot_3) i have 2 2tb drives, and in the sata connector pair on the right (slot_4 and slot_5) i have 2 1.5tb drives.

When I do...# iptables -L...I see rules in my INPUT and OUTPUT chains that look scary:ACCEPT all -- anywhere anywhere...but these rules only apply to the loopback interface. I tested it and the server cannot be reached on open ports from the outside world. How can I make iptables show the interfaces that the rules apply to?Otherwise, every time I do iptables -L it will scare the crap out of me.

I'm running CentOS 5.4 and have problems with a USB-Ethernet network interface. It works in another, very similar environment but now I added Virtualization when installing the system. The interfaces comes up as usb0 - as usual, and I'm sending and receiving packets (PPPoE) but there seems to be a link missing so that the ppp session can be build. I wondered if this has to do with the Xen virtual environment running which installed a lot of virtual interfaces and bridges, but not for the USB interface.
The problem is that for PPPoE server, the interface must not have an IP address assigned - not an option when creating a new host interface. But even when I do so, the interface seems unlinked somehow. Funny thing, I can monitor the incoming and outgoing packets using Wireshark. I have not (yet) set up a virtual machine/guest system but the default machine is running.
I'm facing some problems with FC11 in my PPC G4. I tried installing and everything went well until it reaches a stage where I'm being prompted to select my network interface.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI've been having a few problems with OpenOffice.Org and the language settings.
I'm using the latest Fedora 11 and OpenOffice.Org 3.1.
When trying to change the interface language from en-us to en-gb there isn't an option for en-gb at all in the drop-down, despite me reading that other people have been able to switch the interface to en-gb. This doesn't matter that much, since it's only a few words but I think it might be affecting another issue of mine.
Despite having en-gb set for my dictionary settings, I still get the Americanised words. Stuff like: internationalised vs. internationalized, colour vs. color. I've even installed the Oxford English Dictionary extension but that doesn't show up in the dictionaries.
Edit: I've tried searching the repos. for en-gb langpacks but I can only see the general 'en' English one. Yet I can see there's an en-gb lang pack on the OpenOffice.Org website [URL] but I thought you're meant to use the repos. where possible.
Edit 2: I feel a bit stupid now, it's under uk not en-gb. 'openoffice.org-langpack-uk'. Still doesn't solve my dictionary issue Americanised spellings should come up as red underlined.
I've set up a FTP server, but now I would also give the ability to users to access file through a web interface, like the ones you can find in many NAS.I there anyone that knows a software that do this? I can't find nothing useful.

I checked all the settings tabs but I can't find any reference to lightning. Is this a bug or is there something I have to do to see it? For now I'm using the standalone app sunbird but I really like to have the integrated lightning back in thunderbird. I also tried the lightning plugin from the plugins tab but it complains it's not compatible with gcc3 or something so I guess that's why there is a rpm package.
View 14 Replies View RelatedWe are making an embedded product based on Fedora 10 (this could change, but right now we stick to 10 because it works ok). We have an intel PC board with a build a normal ethernet adapter. Then we have a home build PCI-express card with 4 ethernet adapter build into a Xilinx FPGA (Xilinx Temac) (we got the driver from git.xilinx.com and modified it enough to make it work).
Now, by problem is: How do we control the device names of these ethernet adapters? It would be really nice to have them called eth0, eth1-eth4 in the order mentioned above, such our software always knows which to use for what.
Also: What to we do when the our adapter card is replaced because it is broken? A new card will have new MAC addresses and therefore the adapters will get new names destroying our IP configurations.
I simply cannot get this to work, has anybody managed it?
My problem is related to tuncfg I believe. I make the modification to the source of tuncfg to change ifconfig to /sbin/ifconfig. If I run hamachi start debug I get the following output:
It appears it cannot create the hamachi network interface because it doesn't appear under ifconfig.

I'm trying to setup nagios, and I've looked at several guides but none of them seem to address my problem.Here's the clearest guide that I followed URl...I followed all the instructions on that basica guide, except disabling SELinux. I changed SELinux rules based on URL...I'm not getting any AVC Denials, so that's not the problem. Nagios and Apache both start fine. If I go to my local IP, I get the standard Apache test page. URl...(address from all the guides I read) doesn't resolve.I know that Nagios is at least running from "service nagios status," and I have gotten two alerts emailed to me: swap alert (I don't have swap configured) and disk space.
