WOrking Dual Boot

[dod]

Very well in fact, BUT, I can't get the onboard NIC to work. Running SuSe 9.1 32 bit

Can someone give me some guidance please. Been into YAST thingummy and selected pick from list but it's not there. I could use a separate card but it would be nice to use the onboard instead

[Daniel ~]

It doesn't!! Get a Nic card! The only trouble I had running dual boot was that I kept losing my cable modem, but I dumped Windows and still lose it once or twice a day. I'm working on it, and two dozen other things":O}

Type

 modprobe forcedeth

as root in a console, and then watch the lights on the onboard card light up...

Yes it does!!! You just need the external card while you're doing the initial ftp install

[Daniel ~]

Way cool Dude! That may solve my connection problem! ...uh... I just hope dod read all the way down before giving it another try.":O}

Why won't Linux boot if the router/modem go out?

BTW. I'm already set up on a store bought nic. In what sequence should I type in your little spell? Before or after re-moving my present card and hooking up to the mommy and turning it on in the BIOS?

(Yes, me and my troubles will huant you where ere you go!)

[Daniel ~]

Locked my system up it did! tried for...since my last post, went back to my nic. BTW as many times as I'll probably have to re-install it, probaly not a good idea to make te switch.":O}

Thanks Kaitan, give it a go when I get home.

Just as a quick aside I put another hdd into the system last night. It was a clean disk formatted with NTFS. Linux can identify it but it doesn't show up in "My computer". Haven't had time to search but does it need to be reformatted from Linux to get it to show?

"My Computer"? Must be a SuSE thing... When you first entered your desktop environment, SuSE should've popped up a box saying something along the lines of "Found new hardware - <device and serial number>. Would you like to configure it now?"

If you can't see it, then it's not in your /etc/fstab
That file tells your computer what drives you have, where you have them, in what format among other things. At this stage, I'd advise against you editing it manually, though root can edit it in any editor quite happily. SuSE's system config utility is the thing to use...

You'll want it to be in a format that Linux can actually use - while Linux has read only support of NTFS, it can not successfully write to NTFS by default. NTFS is quite a subtle beast - I've been told recently that not even M$ know quite how it works, so getting write support is a very very slow process.

I hate to say this, but I think that's a problem with your computer, rather than with Linux in general. If network were necessary for Linux to boot, then my laptop would be essentially useles...

I'll investigate the Terror of SuSE later this afternoon.

Now why doesn't that surprise me?

[Daniel ~]

Linux will see my second HD. But Norton won't Ghost to it. (i need a complete easy to reinstall back up!!)

It says the drive is to small! (40 gigs for a 7 gig back up). I deleted the partitions on it , but still to small according to Norton G.

Hey I just looked in "My computer"!

Hadn't since removing my second hard drive; My C drive doesn't even show up! Just floppy and Cd-recorder.

[dod]

okay, which bit didn't I do right?

Opened system>terminal>konsole

opened root session and gave it password

typed modprobe forcedeth, pressed return

closed session, still nothing

Got a nic in just now

Wooooaaaah What's this?? KDE Powersave crash handler?? I'm still runnning

This backtrace appears to be useless.
This is probably because your packages are built in a way which prevents creating of proper backtraces, or the stack frame was seriously corrupted in the crash.

This backtrace appears to be useless.

The OS was compiled without frame pointers. I'll install suse91 this evening and try to replicate your issues. It looks like it died going into screensaver mode - it'll do this if you've set it to use an opengl screensaver and either don't have opengl support, or have a badly/improperly installed one.

Was there any output after typing "modprobe forcedeth" ?

What about if you type

dmesg

as root into the shell after the modprobe command? That lists kernel messages...

This is esactly what it looks like

Hmmm, FATAL doesn't look encouraging

[Kaitain]

That would be because you typed in the wrong command:

root@sixtyfour gfitch # modprobe forcedeth
root@sixtyfour gfitch # dmesg

- that's a G rather than a Q at the end of dmesg by the way...

Screensaver is just one of the defaults

Yup, your onboard LAN's ready to go!

SuSE's config files are a bit of a mess, though. You'll need to edit /etc/modules.conf - right at the top, it'll have included the following:

alias eth0 8139too
alias eth1 off
alias tr0 off
alias scsi_hostadapter off
alias fb0 off

You'll need to modify this to

alias eth0 forcedeth
alias eth1 8139too
alias tr0 off
alias scsi_hostadapter off
alias fb0 off
