I'm trying to learn about reflashing bios and eventually play with coreboot on some old machines I have lying around.Every machine I try to run flashrom on I get Quote:flashrom v0.9.2-r1001 on Linux 2.6.35-gentoo-r12 (i686), built with libpci 3.1.4, GCC 4.4.4flashrom is free software, get the source code at http://www.flashrom.org
No coreboot table found.
Found chipset "VIA VT82C686A/B", enabling flash write... OK.
This chipset supports the following protocols: Non-SPI.
I have an ethernet card that used to work with Linux, but it had its firmware corrutped. (not as a result of the kernel its a different model) I think it had something to do with the thunderstorm I was using the computer in. Anyway, it is an Intel 82562EZ 10/100 Ethernet Controller (rev 01). The device manager in windows xp calls it an Intel PRO/100 VE card, which I think is the same thing. The card works in windows but not in linux. Upon firing up the intel proset software, and running hardware diagnostics the test says the eeprom test failed. Is there any way I can flash the eeprom so I can have a working card?
EDIT: Card fixed after leaving unplugged. It is important to also unplug the power supply connectors from the motherboard as well as capacitors may not discharge otherwise. Also be sure to remove the cmos battery. Oh, yeah don't try to use that intel utility on integrated networking devices. "IBAUTIL is not intended as a utility for LAN-On-Motherboard (LOM) [integrated] implementations."
it's possible to install the most recent Flashrom (9.3) on Lucid. The problem is that in order to get the most recent you need to compile from source, however I can't seem to get all the necessary packages. With all software sources enabled, I can't find the package "pciutils-devel" in Synaptic Package Manager. Without that package I can't compile the source.
Dual PII 400, 512Mb with a Promise SuperTrak 100 IDE Array Controller. At present I have only one drive on the controller, configured for 1 JBOD array. I install FC9 with no problem. New partition is created and formatted, Grub is installed, and then... Grub is found and booted, but then I get:
Reading all physical volumes. This may take a while... No volume groups found Volume group "VolGroup00" not found Unable to access resume device (/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol01) mount: could not find filesystem '/dev/root' I can boot in rescue mode, chroot to the installed system. I changed the kernel boot parm "root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00"
I have a Dell Vostro 3300, i5 460 processor with a NVIDIA 310M Graphics Card. I'm doing a KUBUNTU 10.10 (Maverick) install with the following results. The Live CD boots just fine to, "TEST," or "Install." Installation goes fine. However, the graphics card being used is the Intel i915. I have tried installing the NVIDIA drivers directly from the, "Additional Drivers," tool and after the reboot I get through the boot screen to the console. I try to manually startx and I get the errors, "no device found," "no screens found." The second install I tried purging and blacklisting the nouveau drivers and entering safe mode. Then using apt-get install nvidia-current. After that, nvidia-xconfig. Same results.
The third attempt I re-installed and this time downloaded the drivers from the Nvidia site (version 256.53). Blacklisted nouveau, remove all nvidia, updated initramfs, etc. The install went fine however I still end up at a console after boot with the same messages as above. No device found, no screens found. I've tried searching through the forum and web and have tried things like adding the modset option along with many other hacks, tips and fixes. still, no go.I can live with the Intel graphics for now although I lose 512MB of memory. Unfortunately there is no way to disable or change this set-up in the BIOS. I've seen quite a few bug reports at Launchpad:
1. Is this something I should just wait til a fix comes? Will a fix come? 2. Is there, or will there be an official Updated Ubuntu Guide for Maverick to install NVIDIA drivers with this tecnology? 3. Lastly, is there anything else I should try??
I installed debian 4.0 (etch) on an old computer with some pickled graphics card in it, and then I upgraded the computer to one with slightly newer hardware only without the graphics card (the new one used on board graphics). I moved the hard drive from the old one to the new one but when I booted it up it failed to start the X-server and I got some errors listed for "device not found" and "no screens found".
I tried using "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" however I can't seem to find a working configuration. It seems pretty silly that when installing debian it can detect all this automatically with no problems but when it comes to changing some hardware around you are left in the dark with a complicated re-configuration process. Is there not some way to automate this? I'd rather not have to re-install everything
I'm looking for any snippet to manage MAC address via C code in Linux. I tried to write some code to change eth0 mac address writing it in smc911xx eeprom. What I did is the following..
#... some includes... ... int skfd; struct ifreq ifr;
Someone just erased my HWADDR line from /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0. How can I obtain my original MAC address?
Code:
ifconfig eth0 does not work (it shows the wrong MAC address) since the HWADDR line from the file I mentioned above was erased. Also there is no ifcfg-eth0.bak backup configuration file.
I replaced the old WIFI card (Intel PRO 3945ABG) in my Dell D620 with the new Intel Ultimate-N 6300.
According to intel's website the driver is integrated in the current kernel (mine is 2.6.34.7 61.fc13.i686.PAE) and I have the latest firmware installed as well (iwl6000-firmware-9.221.4.1 1.fc13.noarch) however it does not work.
I tested the card with Windows XP and it works perfect.
The output from "dmesg" is:
Code:
Code:
But with my previous card "lspic -v" will show the driver in use but the new card does not:
Code:
So it detect the card for some reason does not assign it a driver!
And i googled this "Unsupported (too old) EEPROM" and found some results related to Ubuntu but were not useful.
So am I missing something? what does that message mean "Unsupported (too old) EEPROM"?
I wrote a driver that scans on startup dynamically for available EEPROM's on a certain IC bus. For each EEPROM a new character device is created in /dev like:
I just bought an hp 6500 wireless printer, and after taking 5 minutes to set it up (amazing how easy it is to get hardware working that supported by Linux) I was happily printing...But- I haven't managed to get it to scan from my desktop pc running 9.04. Tells me no device is found. I added the printer to a laptop running 9.10, and it scanned perfectly straight away...
I've been through the Ubuntu help documentation and haven't found a solution.I think that maybe Turbo Print (for our old Canon printer) might have messed something up. I had to uninstall Turbo Print to get the printer to work (it hijacked Ubuntu's built in printing stuff).
I installed Debian Lenny on my HP Laptop - dv6-2120ed. Because i have atheros wireless card i needed to install ath9k which is not supported in 2.6.26 kernel so i compiled it to 2.6.32. Everything is good, but when i boot the new kernel i get "Bar 6: No parent found of for device" for 2 devices - the ethernet LAN card and the sound card. After 1 minute waiting the kernel starts booting and everything works fine (the LAN and the SOUND card too). How can i fix this and what means it exactly?
I have made linux raid array, named it md1 and it can be found under /dev/md1. I have created single partition (whole disk) of type LVM (8e) and it can be found under /dev/md1/md1p1.
When I run: pvcreate /dev/md1/md1p1 I get this message: Device /dev/md1/md1p1 not found (or ignored by filtering).
But if I run pvcreate /dev/md1 Everything went OK. I can create volume group and logical groups after that.
I haven't found anything specifically on net, except that partition for LVM to work should be of type 8e. Does this doesn't have to be true when we use whole disk as a VG? Should I expect any problems since this is going to be iSCSI target disk?
I looked and have tcpdump installed on ubuntu 10.04 lts I can do a tcpdump --help and it gives the commands.I get no device found when I do tcpdump from the terminal window.my Ubuntu is having trouble looking up domains it just sits there and hangs looking up google.comI'm on a ATT 3mb DSL dry line running an asus netbook and a biostar via mobo desktop they both have trouble looking up domains right out of the DSL modem.I would try to set the DNS in ubuntu but I don't know how to do that without knowing the gateway and such. I have to get the IP of the computer, the netmask, the gateway, and the DNS for the manual setup.
I am new here and I have tried checking similar threads as well as other sources in the net but could not get my card working. I use Debian squeeze on a P4 2.4MHz machine with 2 GB ram. lspci can detect all 8 chips but could not load the proper module since it could not identify the vendor. I have tried unloading the SAA7134 module and reloading repeatedly all possible cards from 1 to 174 by "modprobe -i SAA7134 card=#,#,#,#,#,#,#,# #-numbers 1 to 174 one a a time.
I just installed Fedora 11 and then followed the directions here to add the adobe repo. Also, added the rpm fusion repo. But, when I search for 'flash-plugin' i get a nothing found reply? Did I miss a step or do something out of order?
I have Mandriva 08 with Gnome and Nautilus. My O.S won't open a desktop icon but it does show up in "Computer" and HardDrake. If I go to "Places" "Computer" and open up the "Preferences" there is "Settings" which I will include as an attachment. What is the GUI way to use a Flash drive or a MP3 device on Linux. I would rather not use the terminal if it is not necessary.
I run a program (findknxusb) to scan for devices on USB, but the device is not found.
The debugging level for libusb is on: $ ./findknxusb Possible addresses for KNX USB devices: libusb_set_debug... libusb: setting debugging level to 1 (on) libusb_init...

I am trying to install fedora 14 from live CD (USB boot) in my system which already has Windows 7. The installation goes fine however when I reboot the system I get 'No bootble device found' error. install fedora on the entire hard disk which I cannot do right now.
In Bios there are 'Native' and 'Legacy' options for 'ATA/IDE Mode' and if I select 'Native', 'Configure SATA as' option is enabled with options 'AHCI' and 'IDE'. I reinstalled fedora with all possible configuration, Legacy mode, Native + AHCI, Native + IDE but got the same error when booting. I have also tried options; MBR on /dev/sda and first boot record on /dev/sda5.

I just got a new scanner HP Photosmart C4640 and tried to set it up on Ubuntu 8.10SANE has it as supported, but I can't scan.Printing works fine. when I run xsane I get

I installed Ubuntu 9.10 a few days ago, did the updates, surfed on the net, mounted a slave drive and read everything on it, shut down, pulled the slave out and now I can't boot.
After the post screens I get: Verifying DMI pool data Grub loading error: the symbol 'grub-device-open' not found grub rescue>
I think way back I had to reinstall grub or something on another machine I had but I don't remember anything about it. Is that what I have to do and how? Is it because I pulled that slave drive out that this happened? I want to get some more files off the slave as I wasn't finished.
I have a strange problem. Since the installation of my system, my fingerprint device has been found, but I never intended to use. Months later I wanted to try libfprint and fprintd and successfully compiled it. But when I started the fprint_demo program it said no device found. Then I typed lsusb and saw my Fingerprint device was missing.
I'm running NetWare SLES 10 sp3 with OES2 sp2. I was working with the folks at Novell to resolve an iPrint Print Manager problem.
During the process they wanted to perform a packet capture using tcpdump. While logged in as the root user the error no suitable device was found, and I received no data at all. This server is running on a VMWare Center. On other SLES 10 sp3 systems (residing on that same VMWre Center), tcpdump captures packets just fine. I inherited all of these servers, so I wasn't here during the initial build, but I'd make the guess that they were configured similarly. On a Server that I built recently, tcpdump works fine. On two of my Servers it does not, and gives the mentioned error.
It's not that big a deal, otherwise the Servers are communicating and working just fine. But, I'd like to get it working just because it's supposed to work. Students are off for the summer, so I have time to play.
i attach microsoft fingerprint reader but in linux os when i compile my program dev : not device found error occurethis is usb device if i want to load driver module then what to do i use dpfc lib
have recently upgraded Slackware/Salix 13.0 to 13.1 and it all went smooth except for one problem with the mixer which apparently cannot be found. Only OSS card is seen in Xfce mixer, and OSS works, but no alsa card.I have a Via82xx onboard chip and a SB Audigy 1 [SB0092], Emu10K1. Via was set up with an alias as the first to load. All this worked perfectly in 13.0. Now aplay gives the following message:Quote:
