Fedora :: Moving From 32-bit To 64-bit With A New Motherboard
Mar 17, 2011I 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"?
Fedora Hardware :: No Ide Or Fd Interface On Motherboard?

Apr 3, 2010I'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.
Fedora Installation :: System Hangs On M3A78-T Motherboard?
Mar 1, 2009I 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.
Fedora :: UUID Format Of Drives Changed With New Motherboard?
Mar 11, 2010I 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
Fedora :: Reading A Data From CD / Dvd Is Very Slow After Change Motherboard
Mar 28, 2010Recently 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.

Fedora Hardware :: Chance The Motherboard Could Damage The New Video Card?
Jun 20, 2010System:
Fedora 12
Motherboard: ASUS A8V-XE (Socket 939)
CPU: AMD Athlon 64 3500+
Memory: DDR 400 184 pin (PSD1G400KM)--two sticks, 1 GB each
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.
Fedora Hardware :: Motherboard Configuration - Raid Setup Utility Shows Drives Out Of Order
Sep 19, 2010I 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.

Ubuntu :: RAM / Motherboard And CPU Dead?
May 5, 2010I used my old RAM in my new PC. The RAM was rated for 533mhz but the motherboard could not run it below 667mhz. Today I was using tdfsb (3D file system browser) in my music folder (which has a lot of files/folders) the PC froze. After 20min I pulled the plug and it started back up properly. After some updates later that day, I tried to reboot. All it did was shut down and light up the fanlights instead of restarting. I tried resetting the battery. With the old motherboard, bad RAM would cause beeps and I hear no beeps. The board is a Gigabyte GA-MA785GM-US2H. The CPU an Athlon II x2 255. RAM failure would cause beeps or not.

View 1 Replies View RelatedHardware :: Getting The Motherboard Raid 5 Setup?
Mar 11, 2011I am just getting into the Raid world with my home server. what i have:
Asus M3A78-CM (may be wrong, cant remember for sure) Motherboard with 6 Sata2 Connectors
3 2TB Sata2 Drives
2GB of DDR2 Ram set in bank A
AMD Dual Core (i'll know what it is when i get the system booted)
What i am trying to figure out is when i build this system, I will put in the HDD's into Sata Ports 1-3 and in the BIOS i will setup a RAID 5 Array. Now, do i just format and partition like normal? Would it be better to have a smaller, and better performing Sata2 for the system so i can have the raid be only for file storage?
In what i have read about this, i need to format each drive into two partitions at least but i do not know what needs to be done, The guides just vaguely say something about two partitions and then move on (trick of the trade? keep all of us in the dark? LOL) I would like to have a raid for my storage and a faster disk for the OS and home directories. But if it cannot be done then thats how it is. So do i put the TB drives in Sata Ports 4-6 and my other drive in Sata Port 1?
Hardware :: New Motherboard & CPU - No Ethernet Or Video
Jan 17, 2011My old motherboard (biostar tp35d2-a7) died. I got a new intel h67 motherboard and installed an i5-2400 in it, and tried to boot off of the debian testing install that is on the hard drive, and which worked with the old hardware. (Old system had nvidia graphics.) It doesn't entirely work with the new hardware, however. I don't have ethernet and something is wrong with video, so X doesn't start.
To check hardware function and linux compatibility I booted Knoppix, and both networking and graphics are working properly. How should I go about fixing the installed OS to work with the new hardware? Do I just need to totally reinstall? Or is there some way to add drivers or reconfigure so that the existing OS will work properly?
Hardware :: GA-965P DS3 Motherboard With Kernel 2.6.32?
Jul 3, 2010I'm not a linux noob. Slackware Linux has been my primary OS since the late 1990's. This GA-965P DS3 has been my main system for several years now, and other than a few kernels that had problems with the sky2 ethernet modules, it has been running well with Slackware 11 through 12.1. Core 2 Duo E6600, 6GB RAM, SATA drives in software RAID1, PATA DVD-RW drive, ICH8 Southbridge, JMicron JMB363 RAID/PATA controller. Latest BIOS flashed this morning.
Currently I'm stuck at kernel 2.6.31.13 as any kernel from 2.6.32-2.6.34 locks solid after SATA/IDE device capabilities detection. I can boot from a Slackware 13.0 CD (2.6.29.6 I think) with no problems but not from a Slackware 13.1 CD (2.6.33.4). It locks hard after scanning the first SATA or IDE port that has a device attached. It reads the device serial number and capabilities before locking. I can keep unplugging drives and it moves to the next drive and hard locks. If all the SATA devices are unplugged, after scanning the SATA bus it locks after querying the DVD on the PATA bus. Behavior is the same with custom compiled kernels 2.6.32rc1 through 2.6.34. I'm sure this means it is related to the libata changes in 2.6.32, but no BIOS setting of IDE/AHCI/RAID makes any difference.

OpenSUSE Hardware :: USB Mouse Failing On New Motherboard?
Dec 25, 2009System: OpenSuSE 11.0Mouse: Microsoft Intellipoint OpticalI'm having some troubles and am in need of any assistance you can spare. I've recently upgraded to an ASUS A8N-SLI, SuSE transitioned over smoothly as I set the system to mount via volume/disk labels; it booted up perfectly although, naturally, I needed to run SaX2 to reconfigure the X server. After I did this, I logged into my desktop and after about a minute the mousetopped responding. The lights would still light up upon movement however the cursor would not move unplugged and reinserted the device however it would not light up.
I have tried the mouse on my Windows disk and my other Windows computer and it works fine. I have already tried reconfiguring SaX2 andremoving the mouse0 file from /dev/input yet the problem still persists. In fact, I'm navigating the forums with a keyboard. After the mouse fails, if I try testing a new SaX2 configuration, switching virtual consoles or doing anything which would switch resolution the computer locksp and displays s screenful of coloured, fuzzy lines. I imagine this has something to do with an X configuration somewhere, I'll post my X configs here.
