Fedora Installation :: 14 Live CD Freezes On Boot Probing PCMCIA Slot?
Apr 3, 2011I 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.
Hardware :: "Probing Edd=off To Disable" Boot Freezes?
Mar 31, 2010im building a storage pod following the backblaze build url. This build requires two power sources. One powers the boot drive, the mother board and 20 of the hard drives while the other powers the remaining 25 drives. When I power up the 25 drives first and the boot drive etc 2nd I recieve the message "Probing edd=off to disable" the system then freezes there. If I power up the boot drive etc then the 25 drives then it boots up normally with no problems. When ever I restart I recieve the same message since the 25 drives are already running when it boots.
I dont want to add edd=off to the boot command since i cannot have some drives not being detected all the time in my raid configurations. I have tried updating the bios and that didnt help. I have also installed a different os and receive the same message.
I am running Linux version 2.6.26-2-amd64 (Debian 2.6.26-21lenny4)Motherboard: Intel BOXDG43NB LGA 775 G43 ATX Motherboard
All of my specs are the same as the ones listed in the Backblaze build.

Aug 27, 2009Code:
Probing EDD (edd=off to disable) .... then the boot hang up for a few minutes with a flashing cursor immediately after the message and finally it booted the default OpenSuse 11.1 in the usual way. I tried to search LQ, Wikipedia, Google... but even if the message has been reported by many people, nobody gave the answer to the question running in my mind:
Code:
What is EDD? Should I start to think about the funeral for my beloved notebook? Should I consider to do an additional backup copy of the backup of my disk, just for sure?
Slackware :: Disable Dhcp Polling For Eth0 At Boot Up?
Apr 20, 2010During installation I set eth0 to use dhcp to get an IP address. I then installed gnome and networkmanger which handles my interfaces and works fine. But during bootup the system pauses for 5 seconds or so while it polls for dhcp. It then times out and gives me a 169.254.xx which is then replaced when networkmanager starts up at the end of bootup.
How do I stop the polling to cut out the 5 seconds?
General :: Adding PCMCIA Network Cards To Slackware 11?
May 3, 2010I've been searching all over trying to figure out how to get my Slackware box to detect my 2 PCMCIA wired nics. Specs are:
Dell Latitude CPi (old, I know...)
Compaq 10/100 PC Card (series NNB108)
Xircom "Credit Card" Ethernet 10/100+ and Modem 56 (model: CEM56-100.
Slackware 11 (kernel 2.6.21.5)
Both cards work under Ubuntu 9.04 on the same hardware so I know they are both working and linux compatible.
Checking the /var/log/messages file I see entries when I insert or remove the card. States that a PCMCIA card has been added/removed however other than the /messages log entry there is no other activity that I notice. No lights on the NIC card dongles either. Most of the reading I've done on the net indicate that there should be a /etc/pcmcia/network.opts file but I don't even have the /etc/pcmcia directory. Sure would appreciate some guidance on where to go or what to do to get these two PCMCIA nics up and running.
Fedora Installation :: Probing EDD On F10 Start-up?
Feb 10, 2009I have just installed F10 via DVD download onto my Dell Desktop with Nvidia GE6800 graphics card and twin LCD Monitors. I have configured Dual Boot with Grub (Windows XP Home and F10). After installing and configuring the correct driver from Nvidia I am now observing a strange problem when booting into Fedora.
On cold boot the system starts and gets to Probing EDD (edd=off to disable)... and then freezes, however if I then warm boot Ctrl Alt Del the system boots into F10 with no problem. I had to disable the latest Kernel update because I couldn't start graphical interface with it so I only boot into the original Kernel.

View 5 Replies View RelatedSlackware :: How To Disable Cpu Throttling In 13
May 7, 2010I'm trying to install ATLAS which requires disabling cpu throttling. Normally one can do it in the BIOS, while there isn't such an option of my dell inspiron 6400. Actually there is a SpeedStep option in the BIOS, however, you cannot get the highest but the lowest performance by disabling it (dell!!!).
After googled a lot, I found in some distros, there is a /usr/bin/cpufreq-selector through which one can disable throttling. But it doesn't exists in slackware.
I known that by appending kernel option "acpi=off", one can disable the whole acpi and thus the throttling control in slackware, but it seems so dirty.
Anyone known a better way to do it?
ps: With a intel T2050 cpu, i didn't find the directory /sys/devices/system/cpu1, but only the /sys/devices/system/cpu0. Similar case in /etc/acpi. it seems that slackware treats my cpu as a single core one, while it is not.

May 2, 2010I've always run as root on Slackware, but having done away with Ubuntu for now, all of my machines including the family desktop are running Slackware. There have been several ups and downs and the last one that I know of (for now) is the HP Device Manager. It doesn't run as root so I've never noticed that it drastically slows down printing via a shared printer. Disabled the system just sends it's requests to the samba/cups server and starts printing instantly. The HP Device Manager seems to go through an intialization step each time that takes several seconds before I can even hit the "print" button.

Slackware :: Disable And Enable Ipv6 Connectivity?
May 7, 2011I just finished setting up my slack machine as a home server (printers & files) and I noticed that I have an IPv6 address (from ifconfig)... I didn't know I did. I used to work in tech support and when a windows or OSx machine didn't connect properly on a LAN, disabling IPV6 was a common troubleshooting step. Is there a way to easily turn inet6 connectivity off/on in Slackware? (I want to keep the ability to get an IPv6, we will all use those in the future)

View 10 Replies View RelatedSlackware :: Disable Or Configure Udev For Initrd?
Nov 8, 2010I've recently updated my Slackware 13.1 system to the Slackware current. Although I have created my "initrd" image without specifying the "-u" option to "mkinitrd" it still starts up "udev".
That is causing me some difficulty because I am using "dmraid" to detect my RAID arrays. I had created my own device names such as "/dev/sdr2" for my root partition. With 13.1 I had no problem, since "udev" was not started by the "initrd" unless the "-u" option was provided. The current version seems to start up "udev" even without that option.
Is there a way to disable "udev" in the "initrd", or is there a way to specify custom "udev" rules for an "initrd"? I tried placing a "10-local.rules" file in the "etc/udev/rules.d" directory of the "initrd-tree" but that file had no effect on the device names generated by "udev" during the "initrd".
Here is my script that creates the "initrd".
Code:
ROOTDEVNAME="/dev/sdr2"# Name of root device
LINUXVER="2.6.35.7-smp"# Linux modules version
CLIBVER="2.12.1"# C library version
ROOTDIR="/boot/initrd-tree"# Location of root filesystm
[code]....
It will be helpful for me to understand "udev" issues related to an "initrd" because I will eventually try to use "mdadm" instead of "dmraid". So far I have only been able to get my system to boot from the RAID array using "dmraid" and I often run into new problems when I update Linux. Still, Slackware has proven to have the best support for booting from my RAID array because of the user community, documentation and flexibility.
Slackware :: Quicker Way To Start Or Disable Service

I don't know if there's already something similar, or if anyone would find this program useful.Slervice simply calls Pat's scripts and the chmod command. I believe it's self explanatory. It can be compiled with cc slervice.c -o slervice.

Sep 11, 2010I would like to use my second monitor with my Slackware (Laptop) setup but they are different sizes/resolutions.
This is no problem with KDE but before X is started and when X ends there are big issues with the TTY0 console being distorted.

I essentially want the second monitor to activate ONLY in the event of an X Session and turn off when X halts.
Slackware :: Enable NumLock And Then Disable The Button Completely
Jan 8, 2010I've got 5 users who share a bunch of virtual Windows XP guests via VRDP (VirtualBox RDP access), and I'm having some problems with managing their NumLock state. They all use rdesktop to access the Windows XP machines. This works very well, as long as all of them have NumLock enabled. If one of them disables it by mistake, and then logs into one of the Windows XP machines, NumLock is disabled and some of the programs they use start to act really weird. This is causing us some grief.
So I'd like to be able to enable NumLock on all the computers (they are all running Slackware 12.2) before X, while X runs and while KDE is running. And when NumLock is enabled for the entire system, thenI'd like to remove the ability to disable NumLock altogether. NumLock should always be enabled for these users, no matter what. It would be really nice if Linux/X/KDE/whatever just honored the BIOS setting, but I haven't been able to figure out how to do that. Oh, and I'd really like if the NumLock LED was ON, so everybody are made aware of the fact that they have NumLock turned on.
ps. I've tried remapping the keys on the numeric pad with xmodmap, but that doesn't solve the problem. The actual NumLock state must be set to avoid problems with the troubled Windows programs.
