Slackware :: Eth0 No Longer Recognized After Upgrade And ASUS Mobo Replace In -current
Jan 27, 2010My office has a box which is, by necessity, dual-boot WinXP/Slack. The Slackware I'm running there is -current, all great and fine. Until now... It turned out that my mobo, an ASUS P5KPL-CM, died after a power surge. Since the XP needs software activation, we replaced it for an exact copy of the mobo. After the change the box worked fine in XP, and I was able to connect to the network via the Ethernet interface. BTW, the Slackware version is Slackware-current, updated as of the Jan 9 update (after that I was no longer able to connect to the Net with Slack). However, in Slackware there was a problem: eth0 was no longer recognized. Using /sbin/ifconfig only listed the lo (loopback) interface. The lspci output is:
Code:

Ubuntu :: Segfaults After Processor Upgrade?
Dec 3, 2010I upgraded my processor two days ago(p4 -> C2D), and ever since then I have been getting segfaults, which are causing my programs to crash randomly. At first I thought it was isolated to one program(deluge), but after searching around I was looking at the /var/log/messages and found a bunch of segfault messages after I installaed the processor. Here is the grep from the messages file:
Code:

Mar 26, 2010I'm about to add pci ethernet card. Currently the mobo nic is eth0. When I add the new card will it by definition be eth1 (or will it become eth0 and the mobo nic become eth1)? The broader question is: how are the "eth's" numbered at boot time? If I were to add a 2nd pci nic, could I predict which would be eth1 and which would be eth2 (based on pci slot number??)? Is there somewhere to readup on this to get a broader understanding?
View 1 Replies View RelatedUbuntu Installation :: Possible To Replace Mobo / Chip Or RAM Without Reinstall?
Jul 28, 2011I have 10.04 LTS installed onto an SSD and have a spinning disk for crud, and my brother wants to give me his old GA-PH67A-UD3 and 8GB of RAM if I buy an i7 2600 to put in it. The thing is, I'm happy with my GA-965P-DS3 with Q6600, so I don't actually need an upgrade. So, can I get away with replacing the mobo, chip, and RAM and putting the SSD in the equivalent SATA port on the new mobo (/dev/sda), and will it cope? Will the kernel detect a new board and chip and carry on accordingly? I'll have to remount my crud drive to the same mount point it expects, and if my user account as the same UID as the old system, I'm hoping that might cope, too. Of course, I might be suggesting complete evil, and if this was Windows, I wouldn't even dare think about it, but I have a sneaking suspicion that Linux might cope with this kind of change where Windows would fall over in a heap.

Only "internal audio analog stereo" and "HDMI Audio" (from my graphics card) display under the output choices in Sound Preferences. Under hardware only the HDMI and Internal Analog show up as well.

I was thinking about an NVidia graphics card but the ATI 5775 has also been suggested. I'd thought NVidia was better for Linux but someone said this wasn't the case unless you were talking 3D. (I'll be dual booting windows, so windows 3D performance is relevant for midrange gaming) Can you advise on a good choice of graphics card that will be compatible with SUSE, +quiet, low-mid price bracket. ($150-200 Australian, about $100-$130 USD I guess.)
View 3 Replies View RelatedHardware :: Gigabyte MOBO Boot Sequence ?
Jan 25, 2011I would like to know as to how to save a boot order sequence...In my desktop PC I have a gigabyte MOBO housing Pentium Dual Core processor...
Whenever I have to boot from an external USB , I have to press del at boot , go into CMOS features and change the Order of Booting 1-DVD 2 USB-FDD 3. USB-HDD 4. Local Hard Disk
The problem is that everytime I have to repeat the above to boot from USB...I am also confused between USB - HDD and USB - FDD...Some utils partition and use the USB like a HDD while it is not the case with FDD I guess
How do you freeze the boot order so that on inserting any USB / External HDD at boot , the system should give it the priority over local hard disk..
Also in Giga MOBO I noticed that there is no "generic USB" mentioned in BIOS...It lists the USB device by name say "Kingston Data Traveler " "Sandisk Micro" etc ....
What should I do to make the boot order permanent?
Ubuntu Installation :: ASUS P5P55D-E LX Mobo Can't Install 10.04 Lucid Lynx 32-bit
Oct 20, 2010I just purchased a new PC with the following specs:
Intel Core i5-760
ASUS P5P55D-E LX (S1156 mobo)
Sapphire HD 5750 Vapor-X 1GB Video Card
Samsung 1TB HDD
Corsair DDR3 PC1333 Gaming RAM - 2x2GB
DVD: Samsung DVD burner (internal)
I have made several trials to install Lucid Lynx but all failed:
1. Installed Windows 7 64-bit, hdd formatted as NTFS and ext3, then trying to install Lucid Lynx 32-bit : failed.
2. Installed Windows XP 32-bit, hdd formatted as FAT32, then trying to install Lucid Lynx 32-bit : failed.
3. Trying to install Lucid Lynx 32-bit with a clean hdd formatted as FAT32: failed.
In all the scenarios above, I have tried using Ubuntu installers on CD, DVD, or USB. on CD and DVD, the process always stopped after the Ubuntu logo screen, not even reached the langauage selection screen. On USB, with Legacy set to On in the BIOS, it did run and started by the option screen where we get to choose booting from the usb, or booting from hdd, or memory test, etc., but after choosing the booting from usb (and then hdd also) option, the process also stopped after the Ubuntu logo screen. I have experience dual booting Windows XP with Lucid Lynx on an older system, so I'm not completely new in this. I'd like to know what actually went wrong?
Debian Installation :: 8.1.0 Won't Boot From M5a97 Mobo After Install
Sep 27, 2015I am a real debian noob. I may be too old for this (things have changed a bit since I first started hacking fortran in 1971), but will try one more time.I am editing this original post to clarify: my debian install will not boot to GUI. It will boot to a shell under the advanced option.I have tried loading debian 8.1.0 from DVD. The system will install, but will not boot after the install.On a regular reboot, the last command is fsck. Then it hangs.
On a recovery mode reboot, the last output is:[7.940682] FAT-fs (sdal) utf8 is not a recommended IO charset for FAT files (my handwriting is bad - may not be 100%). - then it will hang.The problem may well be the result of UEFI and the m5a97 R2.0 mobo I am using with my amd 8230E processor. I've been doing some research on UEFI and archlinux. It is a bit of a challenge for me.
I've managed to load ubuntu on this drive. I burned a debian 8.2.0 live DVD, but it will hang also. debian live will hang before it gets to a GUI. The debian live will run the GUI desktop environment with the amd64 fail safe option. When I install debian from the live DVD (the 1.4gb DVD, vs the regular 4.0 gb DVD), it will hang before it gets to the GUI.
Debian Configuration :: Swapped Mobo And No Internet Connection / Get That?
Aug 31, 2011I replaced my motherboard and processor but am keeping my old hard drive without reformatting it. Things work well except that I cannot connect to the internet.

By the way it is a wired connection - not wireless.

Mar 21, 2010Somehow Fedora 12 does not find one of my Sata drives (Seagate Barracuda 500GB) on the motherboard (Asus P5Q pro). The drive is attached to SATA_E1, which is a Silicon Image Serial ATA RAID connector. The drive currently has Windows Vista 64-bit OS which has been working fine. Fedora install loads correctly without errors, but only shows my RAID system on SATA ports 1-6.
WHAT I HAVE TRIED:
I have tried showing RAID as IDE in the BIOS, and setting it to compatible mode. Still does not detect.
I have tried setting the drives to ACPI mode in BIOS. No effect.
OTHER INFO:
I'm installing the x86_64 version of Fedora 12. I have run the Debian i686 installer and it picks up this volume without issue.
Fedora :: Change The MOBO And Trying To Get The Serial Port Working?
Apr 20, 2011I've just had to change the MOBO and trying to get the serial port working, I see from previous posts there are some problems lurking in the past.
setserial -g /dev/ttyS*

/dev/ttyS3, UART: unknown, Port: 0x02e8, IRQ: 3
but I'm not seeing anything from a GPS receiver in NMEA at 4800 no par 1 stp I know that was working about a year ago. I think udev was not helping ,as I was getting permission denied to the com port, I added myself to group dialout. and no message on startup now
I need to be able to talk to a piece of kit with 9600 baud and nothing. I have win32 s/w to drive it , but it falls over in wine. My laptop still has win7 on it in a tiny partition but no 9w d connector and I'm waiting for a USB converter cable. Too many variables ! I'd forgotten all the hassle of having to install drivers just to get basic things running. But as the stupid thing couldn't manage using the driver for my NIC, I was stuck with hyper-terminal, and nothing from the GPS board @4800 or another piece of equipment running at 9600. I suspect the com port on the new mobo doesn't wan to play
OpenSUSE Hardware :: Grub Error 18 On Brand-new Mobo?
May 29, 2011I have replaced my old mobo and CPU on a working 11.4 installation and was expecting some issues but not this.Contrary to expectations, the existing install booted fine first time but then would not reboot with the above grub error. As I understand it, this error usually occurs with old BIOS and new large hard disks which the BIOS can't cope with.OK, so I eventually decided that it would be a good idea anyway to reinstall openSUSE (/home is on a separate partition). During installation, I noticed a warning that Grub error 18 might prevent booting because the bootloader was on a partition larger than 128Gb. I proceeded anyway and the beast booted, but then refused to reboot today with that error.
Now I understand that a possible workaround is to install in a special, smallish boot partition but I'm reluctant to reinstall again, and don't understand why this should be necessary with a modern (Intel H67) motherboard.Other info that might be relevant: no dual boot involved, three SATA HDs with grub installed in MBR of first one (sda) and openSUSE installed to sdb1. Also, it cold booted fine this morning and the error only occurred after I edited the bootloader in YAST to change the VGA mode (it had complained about it during the cold boot).

Server :: Unable To Use Northbridge EDAC Amd64 On HDAMA Mobo?
Oct 1, 2010I have a 'Rackable Systems' server with an HDAMA mobo - Dual CPU Opteron 250 2.4GHz with 2x memory modules per CPU. It seems to run fine, but it hangs every hour or so! I am running Ubuntu 64-bot 10.10, which is currently a beta release so I haven't discounted that as the problem yet, but suspect it unlikely. However, I am downloading 10.04 as I type...dmesg spits out lots of awful messages like these:

(there are variations on the node, core, address, offset an syndrome etc.)I have tried swapping CPUs over and running with only CPU.I have also swapped all the memory around in almost every permutation.Another worrying symptom is that when I run memtest86+ from a boot disk, it shows zero errors up until the point where the server turns itself off without warning - it hasn't yet completed the test...

CentOS 5 Hardware :: Atom D510 Foxconn D51S Mobo Crashes With 4GB Of RAM
Aug 24, 2010I'm trying to do a fresh CentOS 5.5 installation on a baby server with a Foxconn D51S based barebones system. BIOS is P04, the latest on their website.
When I have one 2GB memory installed, I am able to install the system and run it through some very vigorous testing without any issues. I have two DIMMs and both work just fine one at a time.
When I install two 2GB memory, it starts to crash hard during memory intensive operations, like mkfs or fsck.
I tested a 2.6.35 based kernel just in case it was an issue of old kernel + new hardware but the error persisted.
Google hasn't been helpful, and Foxconn support basically says "It runs windows, so that's good, right?").
What I've noticed is the system, when booted with one DIMM correctly reports that it has 2GB of ram (minus 8 megs for video, etc), but when I boot with both installed it seems to detect 4864MB of ram instead of the expected 4096.
Fedora Hardware :: Install Freezes After Disks Detections On Mobo Gigabyte G41M-ES2h
Mar 9, 2010When I tried to run the fedora 12 disk setup (iso), instead of having the nice fedora logo I quickly get tetxt lines showing all my sata disks and USB card readers properly detected though... and the instal freezes. This PC is a mobo Gigabyte G41m-ES2h with 2x500 GB WD disk... Very basic config with a wolfdale 2.93 GHz + 4 GB DDR2 ram... I don't quite understand as Ubuntu 9.1 setup does the same thing whereas "superGRUB" launched from a CD detects my disks & partitions normally.
This fedora 12 disk is ok (fedora 12 installed on 2 other laptops in dual boot) and on the first satat disk there is a Vista. Really don't get it but isolinux has had sometimes issues with sata disks on some of my previous PCs.
Fedora Hardware :: Config For Mobo With Onboard Graphics - AGP - Iommu - Aperture Mem Hole - GA-MA785GT-UD3H
Oct 12, 2010In understanding with Fedora logs are trying to tell me and if I need to adjust some settings on my system to address these issues.
The system motherboard (Gigabyte GA-MA785GT-UD3H) has onboard graphics. I understand that some of the system RAM is taken up by the graphics subsystem.
Very occasionally, I am seeing Nautilus and some other apps crash with SIGSEGV errors. Also, on the couple of occasions, parts of the display started going black - minimising and maximising the window redrew the area as before. This appears to be to do with memory access issues. I have already tested my RAM, applied the latest BIOS update on the mobo. I'm trying to understand if this is some sort of memory access violation that is resulting from the Linux kernel going off and accessing the wrong parts of the RAM and if there is a way to tell it that the graphics and system areas of the RAM are separate, through BIOS settings or kernel parameters and such?
Some questions:
1. Is my system using AGP? I don't think so. I understand AGP is on its way out. So what does the below log output mean wrt AGP?
2. Which part of the log is actually describing the memory assignment for the graphics memory?
3. Would it be of any use trying iommu=noaperture here? I am trying this out, but I don't understand if it is helping in anyway.
Have done a Google search and read on AGP, iommu, shared memory for graphics, but their interaction with each other at the hardware level and how Fedora is handling this is not sinking into my dull brain.
I have put up the system configuration, BIOS settings, logs etc for your perusal here [url]. Parts that caught my attention are highlighted.
Now, onto the bits that has my attention:

In a nutshell it seems that the IGP G41 chipset is the cause of these setup failure (Everything is OK when using a PCI-e graphic card that I need in another computer)rd as someone (viewtopic.php?=17&t=49186&p=282839&hilit=G41M+ES2H#p282839) successfully installed Lenny on a very similar mobo. To go to the point what I do not understand is when I launch the iso Cd to now install the same version of Debian, everything freezes at the very beginning of the boot and the screen goes blank.
