Hardware :: Second RAM Slot Not Working.
Feb 27, 2010
My friend recently bought a memory upgrade for another friend, when i was round at his house i tried to install it for him. Usually this thing is fairly simple, just plug it in and go.
The problem is the second ram slot appears to not be working. i have tried each module on their own in the first ram slot, both working fine. I tried them both on the second ram slot, the computer seems to fail POST, (no case speaker or LED display, but the screen stays black)
also, putting them both in has the same effect. sorry about the [DOT] & [SPACE] but the link is broken otherwise Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-945GZM-S2 -- www[DOT]gigabyte.com.tw/Products/Motherboard/Products_Spec.aspx?ClassValue=Motherboard&ProductI[SPACE]D=2467&ProductName=GA-945GZM-S2 RAM: (2x) Corsair VS1GB667D2 -- scan.co.uk/products/1GB-Corsair-Value-Select-DDR2-PC2-5300-%28667%29-240-Pin-Non-ECC-Unbuffered-CAS-5-5-5-15 User Manual: europe.giga-byte.com/FileList/Manual/motherboard_manual_ga-945gzm-s2_3.x_e.pdf
The clock rating on these modules are a little high for that board, but I thought they would automatically underclock at the very least for them to both work.
I tried to reset the CMOS, but couldn't find the jumper, so i just took out the battery for 5 mins, does it have the same effect?

I have a dual boot HP laptop that has an SD/MMS/XD card slot as well as an Acer Aspire One netbook that has two card slots.
On my HP laptop the card slot works fine with Vista but is not recognised when I boot in to Ubuntu.
On my netbook the original supplied Linpus OS obviously recognised both slots, when I load Ubuntu only one slot is recognised.
I have a USB card reader for the HP and the Acer has two slots anyway

My sd slot is not working at all, doesn't recognize it. I think it may have something to do with having the desktop version installed but I could be wrong. I was only introduced to linux 4 weeks ago and am not very familiar with it, but already know I like it more than windows! I have tried three different sd cards and they all work in my other laptop with Windows 7.

I tried to install Fedora 10 with an encrypted root-filesystem on my Laptop. The problem was, that I wanted to install to the second hdd which resides in the extension slot of the laptop. I can either have the dvd-drive or the hdd in the slot. So I removed the internal hdd, and inserted the second one in its place. That way I could use the dvd. The installation went fine and I could boot into the OS. Then I removed the hdd again and inserted the original hdd to the internal slot, and the fedora-hdd in the extension slot. I can select during power-on from which hdd i want to boot, but I cannot boot fedora. After the first dialog, where I can enter the password to decrypt the disk, I get an error message (something like drive not found). I tried to change the grub settings in the /boot partition (which is not encrypted), but without success.
So, is there a way to boot the system? Or how do I install Fedora on the second hdd without the dvd-drive?

Can somebody tell me how to enable/disable a pci slot.I am trying to do a hotplug on the pci slot.Is it possible in Open SUSE? If its possible can somebody please tell me how to do it.I was doing some research and went over the following topics hwup, hwdown, sysfs, but nothing worked.My confidence on Linux OS is pretty high and am sure there should be a way!

Ever since I upgraded to 9.10 I have had 2 green slots on the panel at the top of the desktop. Both slots have a lighter green bar that oscillates back and forth. I attach a screen slot with he slots circled in red. Looking at other desktops posting on the forums I gather this is not normal but I cannot find what causes it.

A linux box equipped with LSI MegaRAID SAS1078 controller has 4 SAS disks slots. Slots 1+2 holds disks that have been configured (using the LSI bios interface at boot time) as raid-mirror array (hence exported by the controller as one unique LUN). Slots 3 & 4 each holds disks that are not configured as RAID ("direct attached devices" or "raw devices"). The "scan order" numbers for each disk, as reported by the controller interface, are in the same order than the "slot numbers".
Grub (installed on MBR of slot 1+2 LUN) sees:
* slot 1+2 LUN as hd0
* slot 3 disk as hd1
* slot 4 disk as hd2
The Grub boot command says:
root (hd0,1)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.16 root=/dev/sda3
initrd /initrd-2.6.16.img
(hd0,0) is swap
(hd0,1) is /boot
(hd0,2) is /
The linux distro is SUSE (SLES10 SP2). Grub boots correctly (disks in slots 3 & 4 are empty, even no partitions; and as expected, grub tab-auto-completes hd0 with available partitions; on the other hand, grub also sees hd1 and hd2 with the the tab completion, but eventually without partitions behind).
Now the problem: The kernel loads, initrd as well with its bunch of modules, and then harddrives are detected by the scsi driver and there I see: ...
SCSI device sda: ...
sda: unknown partition table ...
SCSI device sdb: ...
sdb: unknown partition table ...
SCSI device sdc: ...
sdc: sdc1 sdc2 sdc3 sdc4 < sdc5 sdc6 sdc7 sdc8 sdc9 > ...
Indeed, shortly after, the sysinit fails mounting FS (because FSTAB addresses directly /dev/sdaN and not UUIDs nor UDEV persistent names). Please note that I do not want to use UUIDs nor LABELs (for personal reasons it's no use to detail here). I tried to change the disk order at the LSI raid bios level, but:
* this interface cannot change priority for LUNs, only for raw devices (and these raw device priorities are set according to slot numbering)
* Grub indeed sees disks correctly, so I think the problem happens only at the linux stage, not earlier.
I tried to look at UDEV persistent rules (in the /etc as well as in the initrd.img/etc after a cpio extract), but there is nothing human readable (nor any obvious aliases, like those we can find for eth cards for instance). It seems that linux sees hardware raid arrays after raw disks, though raw disks are in farther physical slots (and with higher ordering number on the controler) and hence orders them incorrectly. And that's not the behaviour I expect, since I thought the hardware RAID LUNs were seen exactly as raw devices at the linux level, so raid or not should not make any difference in the disks order.
All this story is rigorously reproductible after several boot attempts (i.e. no random discovery here). Is it related to existing udev rules (default rules from SLES10 SP2) I did not find? Or to some missing udev rules (explicit aliases) I should have added? Or to some other udev mechanism I should get rid of (or even get rid of udev completely!)? Or to something else (not udev related... perhaps the fact I also have LVMs and software raid management...)?

I have an Acer Aspire One "netbook" that has 2 SD slots. If I insert and try to mount an SD card post bootup it can't detect the card (not listed in fdisk -l, and no messages generated to dmesg). Almost as if the slot isn't functioning.
The weird thing is, if I boot the computer up with the SD card IN the slot, it picks it up no problem, shown in fdisk as /dev/mmcblk0p1, and I am able to mount it no problem. I am also able to unmount and remove the card and the SD slot continues to function normally. Although I can boot up the computer with the SD card in the slot with no issues, I'd like to be able to have that "slot" active on boot even if I don't have a card in it.
A few more details, Im running slackware 13 with fluxbox wm.

I've just installed the latest version of Ubuntu (11.04) on my Lenovo S10-3 netbook. Everything works just fine, except the mobile mobile broadband.
The system doesn't seem to recognize the (integrated) SIM card slot. The SIM card slot is already integrated (it's located under the battery). I can add a new broadband connection manually, but it still doesn't work (I can't select it from the available connections). If I open-up the additional drivers manager, it doesn't show me any available drivers.

from vuze(bit torrent client) it shows my total download speed to be 20.56 KB/s....while my network monitor tool shows a speed around 72.41 KB/s. Similar is the case with upload speed. In much simple words the download/upload speed that vuze shows appears to be less than that shown by the network monitor tool.I must mention that at the time vuze was running there was no other simultaneous downloads.I don't understand why this is so?Is there any tool that can give me the exact information of downloading & uploading speed or rather any tool that can give me the details of uploads/downloads presently going on.

We're using condor at work to have cluster processing of java jobs. I know how to tell condor to require that a given job should be run on a particular slot. You can put on the Requirements string in the submit file a "Name" value(s) -->
Example:
Requirements = ".. Name == slot1@host*.domain.net || Name == slot2@host*.domain.net"
Which would tell condor to only run that job on slots 1 or 2. But what I need next is some way to have condor modify the arguments string depending on the slot it used. Our condor blades have 8 slots per machine but only two CUDA Tesla cards per host, so I want to dedicate slots 1 and 2 for using the Teslas and slots 3-8 for not using CUDA.
My java code has a java '-D' property so I can tell it to use CUDA or not, but then I
have to have a way to configure condor to append that to the job arguments if
the slot is 1 or 2 or not append it otherwise; So I want this arguments list passed for slot1 or 2
"Main.start -Djava.library.path=/usr/local/cuda/lib64 -Dcuda"
and this for slots 3-8:
"Main.start -Djava.library.path=/usr/local/cuda/lib64"
I don't want to just make the developers hack their submit files to put the
-Dcuda on the arguments line in combo with their adding the Name entry for
slot1 | slot2 because that seems error prone to me.
I want condor itself to add the JVM -Dcuda argument when it's slot 1 or 2 to reduce errors because these jobs take a long time and a mistake wastes lots of time.

I want to know if there any way to find out interface of Linux Box(Suse 9>)is onboard or externally attached (pci slot)?
Note:- This is a problem which I am facing in my work. In onsite server we need to configure n/w card too. So some time when we configure, I'm confusing which interface should be configured. Client insisting us to configure embedded(onboard) interface. How to find out that.

I have a Toshiba a105-s2236 laptop and am trying to install Fedora 14. Is there any way to tell Fedora not to look for the pcmcia slots on boot? My live CD is freezing at the point where it tries to probe the pcmcia socket IO port.
I tried adding the 3 to get to a console, but that fails as well. I had to add acpi=off to the kernel boot args to even get it to go this far.
Even using the nopcmcia option, it still tries to probe the socket's IO port.

Bought a couple new cards to do some bitcoin mining (just an experiment) and before I hook them up I want to know how to use p2pool. im not that good with ports and was wondering how to correctly configure it. I keep getting Bitcoin is downloading blocks errors.
Edit: Im also getting a low mhash rate of 1.5. Is this correct for a geforce 9400m? Im not too worried about it after I use these new cards. and is there a difference in using laptops vs a pci slot desktop video card?

I'm trying to boot an SD card on a notebook that does not have BIOS support for booting from the SD slot. Using various how-to's I've figured out how to add additional SD card modules to the initrd.img file on a bootable USB drive such that I can boot Linux installed on the SD card.
However, best I can tell, it loads the kernel and initrd.img from the USB and everything else from the SD card. What I really want is to load the necessary SD modules from the USB and then chainload the SD card such that whatever kernel is on the SD card is loaded instead. Is it possible to chainload to another bootable device after the kernel (with the SD module additions) has already been loaded?

F12 on my aspire one (A110, the original 8Gb SSD model) works well with only one significant problem.
Suspend fails; the screen fades to black, backlight stays on, macine stops responding to keyboard/mouse/powerswitch and just hangs (for at least an hour... longest I left it). Only thing that works is a 5 second click of death on the powerswitch. Plus an FSCK on at least one occasion after reboot. I have not been able to check if SSH and shutdown possible (on vacation) plus have logs go to a tmpfs (to save my SSD) so no log info. Similarly I cannot confirm if this affects hibernate because I run without a swapfile (SSD again, i.5Gb ram installed and I have never come even close to running out of memory).
But I think I have the culprit anyway:[url]
As described there; shutdown fails if there is a mounted card in the cardreader slot (/dev/mmcblk0) My system has a 4Gb SDHC card in the LH slot with a single XFS filesystem; which has my homedir on it; if I unmount that filesystem (but do not remove the card) shutdown and restore appear to work properly. But if the filesytem is mounted I get the bsod. Linked bug suggests this is restricted to large filesystems (?SDHC?) but I have not fully confirmed, although that matches my situation.
Posting here to see if anyone has any further info/workarounds, to ensure the fedora crew are aware that this appears to affect F12 (and is a regression, F11 suspended fine) and make sure it is documented somewhere. The linked bug also states similar bad suspend activity on other netbooks.
I'll try some other variations (and see if it also happens with USB sticks/RH cardrader, and report back here.

How to identify "Multi Card Slot" hardware? The computer is a Samsung N150 netbook which has an optional "Multi Card Slot". Contacts can be seen inside the slot so the option is presumably fitted. According to the N150 manual it can read SD, SDHC and MMC cards.
There's nothing I can identify as a "Multi Card Slot" reader in /var/log/dmesg or messages and nothing in lspci or lsusb output. I'm no expert on such card readers so the device might be there and I can't identify it. There is a UHCI controller but isn't that only for Firewire? I don't have any of these cards so cannot try booting with one plugged in until I can borrow one.
The reason for wanting to identify the card reader is that I'm building a kernel which only has support for the actual hardware. AFAIK the N150 has no PCMCIA devices so I'm thinking to drop that from the kernel. Is it likely that the card reader is supported via PCMCIA in a similar way to USB drives being supported via SCSI?
Here's lspci output
Code:
00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation Pineview DMI Bridge
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Pineview Integrated Graphics Controller
[code]....

I have fairly new requirement for a second monitor. My main display is running fine using nvidia proprietary drivers.I do have a pcie (probably x16) video card sitting around, but my motherboard only has 1 x16 slot (used by my main display), 2 x1 slots and a few pci slots. From memory, the second video card is an ATI card.Questions:
1. Can I put a PCIE x16 card in a PCIE x1 slot?
2. Would using 1 Nvidia card and 1 ATI cause trouble?

When originally installing 11.04 I had problems getting my Ralink 5390 wireless card to work.
Today my computer froze completely and I had to turn it off via the power switch. When I turned it back on, wireless was no longer recognized! My iPod can connect to the network just fine, so it must be an Ubuntu problem. There are no problems with my ethernet connection either.
I researched this and found several threads about blocking and unblocking wireless devices using the rfkill command. Well, unfortunately for me the rfkill command doesn't work. When I type sudo rfkill list or sudo rfkill unblock all, nothing happens; it just returns me to my bash prompt. I even tried uninstalling and reinstalling rfkill...nothing.

I have a strange problem for internet. My clients (winxp - S2) can't get internet.Let me explain my scenerios. Fedora 10 with lan (eth0) having direct internet from dsl model, client (XP service pack 2) can use samba shares using dhcp (wlan0) installed in Fedora 10 box. client can ping my linux box.Now problem is: client (dosbox) can ping the google ip address (i.e ping 74.125.39.106) but can't use 'ping www.google.com'. That means ping with ip works for internet from my client. My linux box can. I can use internet from FC10 but can't use iexplorer from my client to have internet. I have enable ipmasquarding in Firewall and dhcpd is running on wlan0 for dynamic ip address of my clients.Can someone suggest me what kind of problem having I? What should i do to success iexplorer for internet? what possibly am i missing?

I followed the sticky about setting up wireless and I have come to an issue where the WLAN switch which is on this computer can be pressed, the light comes on, but no WLAN. When I looked in dmesg, this is what I get:
ipw2100: Detected Intel PRO/Wireless 2100 Network Connection
firmware: requesting ipw2100-1.3.fw
eth0: Radio is disabled by RF switch.
When running iwconfig wlan0 heres what I get:
home/j-dub # iwconfig eth0
wlan0 unassociated ESSID off/any Nickname:"ipw2100"
Mode:Managed Channel=0 Access Point: Not-Associated
[code]....
Notice it says that the 'Radio is disabled by switch' in dmesg. I can press that switch until the end of the world comes and it does absolutely nothing but make the WLAN light put on a light show. And it shows the wlan to be unassociated with any clients. So, what are my options to get this Wireless up and working?

I have been looking around the forums searching for similar problems, it seems not only me had this problem. About a month ago I did a regular update via Upd Manager. The next day - no wired connection.Still managable, since the local library has wireless. Now that won't work either.Just after I upgraded from Jaunty, I accidentally removed NetwMngr from the top right corner of the screen, but that should not have anything to do with how the program works, right? I now cannot reach NM, if I run it from the terminal, nothing happens visibly.

I installed it on a Dell Inspiron 531 with the GeForce 6150SE nForce 430 built in video card. From the recommend driver list I installed �NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver (version current) [Recommended
Well, turns out it should not have been recommended. I had restarted and all I got was a low res ubuntu logo and a boot right into a full screen terminal. Tried startx and got a no screens found, I look online for about an hour last night and decided to just reinstall, which takes a couple hours when installing all the packages.
I have done more research today and found to install the latest linux x64 driver from nVidias website, which I did, but it does not run. I followed some more instructions and it said to do a �sudo chmod +x <file>� which I did, and it starts to open and I get �You appear to be running an X server; please exit X before installing.�
I�m starting to get a little frustrated here, guess I�m just used to a lot of the ease of windows and assumed that something like installing a graphics card driver would be easy.
