FC6 does not find SATA disk on install

When you boot the FC6 install type at the boot prompt:
linux all-generic-ide

You will need to pass that to grub as well so: (watch the line wrap)

title Fedora Core (2.6.19-1.2911.6.4.fc6)
root (hd0,5)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.19-1.2911.6.4.fc6 ro root=/dev/hda6
all-generic-ide

you will need to change the hd as suited for your system


Works for my Inspiron 1501

How to startup in text mode console

Posted: 20 Mar 2007 01:33 AM PDT

Ciao Davide Bianchi,

Grazie per la risposta, ma purtroppo non riesco a leggerla;
infatti leggo i newsgroup da Web e per la tua riusposta nel
thread non viene visualizzato il link ipertestuale.

Ho comunque risolto il problema facendo l'installazione
da consol testuale; al boot mi viene presentato il prompt dei comandi
della console testuale. Io devo modificare il file di configurazione
di X in modo tale che la scheda video produca una risoluzione
1280 x 1024 a 60 Hz; è appunto questo file che ora non riesco a
trovare perché me ne sono dimenticato il nome.

Puoi dirmi qual è questo file?

Grazie,

Francesco

config iptables to allow NFS-mount thru firewall: how?

NFS support daemons (mountd, rpc.lockd, etc) use dynamic ports for RPC.
You will have to lock down to a specific set of ports in
/etc/sysconfig/nfs. Here is an example:

MOUNTD_PORT=777
RQUOTAD_PORT=778
LOCKD_TCPPORT=779
LOCKD_UDPPORT=779

Allow these ports through your iptables rules, in addition to 'nfs' and
'sunrpc'.

You have probably emptied your PATH variable. Try this:

export PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin

That should allow you to access external commands.

Do I need AMD Athlon 64 Cool'n'Quiet Driver for Linux?

You can also type "dmesg | grep powernow".

At least for me (running a socket-939 Opteron 185), this gives:

| steffen@pc01:~> dmesg | grep powernow
|
| powernow-k8: Found 2 AMD Athlon 64 / Opteron processors (version 1.50.4)
| powernow-k8: 0 : fid 0x12 (2600 MHz), vid 0x8 (1350 mV)
| powernow-k8: 1 : fid 0x10 (2400 MHz), vid 0xa (1300 mV)
| powernow-k8: 2 : fid 0xe (2200 MHz), vid 0xc (1250 mV)
| powernow-k8: 3 : fid 0xc (2000 MHz), vid 0xe (1200 mV)
| powernow-k8: 4 : fid 0xa (1800 MHz), vid 0xe (1200 mV)
| powernow-k8: 5 : fid 0x2 (1000 MHz), vid 0xe (1200 mV)

And "/proc/cpuinfo" shows the clock speed that the CPU is running
with at the moment (quite idle):

| steffen@pc01:~> cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep "cpu MHz"
|
| cpu MHz : 1004.647
| cpu MHz : 1004.647

When loaded, it goes up to:

| steffen@pc01:~> cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep "cpu MHz"
|
| cpu MHz : 2612.082
| cpu MHz : 2612.082

Getting results like these will show you that CnQ is working correctly.

HTH!

How to reduce partition size - safely?

Posted: 15 Mar 2007 05:53 PM PDT

Frans,

I've used Partition Magic quite often with success. It allows me to
resize the Linux and XP partions and I've never lost any data.

I guess I should have ran this experiment beforehand, but for the
record, at least with 2.6.20.1, which would also make me think that
2.6.20 is the same way, cramfs is not needed for a simple RAM
disk. The 2.6.20.1 I built has no cramfs support built in, and I just
used it to boot a mini-system (one floppy only) disk without cramfs
nor kernel modules support.

Prehaps (the OP) changed something else during the rebuild that
accounted for this, in addition to cramfs, than forgot it was
changed. Wrong disk-controller support prehaps? If the disk can't be
read due to a controller problem, the kernel cycles thru the
filesystems it has trying to read a disk it won't be able to.

I made a mistake in my previous message... before doing a setup(hdx) on the
grub prompt you should issue a 'root(hdx,x)' your menu.lst will be read from
the partiotion you specify here. On my machine for example the
linux-partition is a totally different one from the one on which I boot my
MBR.

hey thanks for replying ,
u guys are relly helpful,

but i am very new to all these concepts .
i have to press ctrl+alt bksp while booting the machine right...??
& is the file is editable on the command prompt ...?? if no what
commands shud i use for editing & saving it...??
exactly what shud i edit in the file....??

plz reply....

OK... what you need to do is kill the X-server with the key-combination I
told you about and do that when your PC is already booted... if that doesn't
get you to a command prompt... try using a LiveCD like knoppix to mount your
HD and edit the file from there.

I said you should issue 'nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf', nano is a text edit so
that not a prompt anymore and then you should quit nano (saving first of
course) by hitting Ctrl-C (I think, but its marked anyway).

What you should add is these lines:

HorizSync xx-xxx
VertRefresh xx-xxx

under Section "Monitor"

and make sure you replace the x's by the refresh rates from your monitor's
manual.

If you're afraid... don't be, just try... that how I figured out these
things too... and for these kind of problems there's plenty of documentation
by just googling too.


Sincerely,

Stéphane
