Either way, have you checked the output of dmesg and the /var/log/dmesg file for any reference to your DVD drive? It seems strange that your DVD drive isn't there. Perhaps this is on a SCSI card that isn't being recognised by the running kernel? Can you provide lspci output and verify that the SCSI/IDE cards listed are all being recognised by the kernel (check with lsmod) Compare the /etc/modules.conf (for 2.4) and /etc/modprobe.conf (for 2.6) - are they the same?

Hi there, First of all, I have a GSA-4081B in my amd64 system running FC2-x86_64, it works fine. Since this is a dvd burner and you had it working under a pre-2.6 kernel perhaps you are using SCSI emulation? This is not longer required/possible(?) under 2.6, so ensure you don't have any kernel params in grub.conf that might be switching it on. Something silly... when you tried to mount the drive, did you have a written disc in there? Failing that, could you post the full dmesg from a fresh boot (or link to it if it's very long). Ideally if you can include bootup and a mount attempt that might help. Cheers, Ash.

You were right. The kernel was being passed options in /etc/grub.conf, which was making it treat the DVD drive as a SCSI device (hda=ide-scsi). I removed these options and I was able to mount a CD on the drive. I haven't tried it with a DVD yet, but I think it should work. However, there seems to be a new problem that I noticed in the logwatch for the machine. In the logwatch, I observed these three lines: WARNING: Kernel Errors Present hda: packet command error: error=0x54...: 1Time(s) hda: packet command error: status=0x51 { D...: 1Time(s) vesafb: probe of vesafb0 failed with error -6...: 1Time(s) Since the errors mentioned hda, I assumed that it had something to do with the DVD drive. I mounted a CD in the drive today, and did 'tail -f /var/log/messages'. The following showed up: Aug 10 09:59:36 (machine-name) kernel: hda: packet command error: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error } Aug 10 09:59:36 (machine-name) kernel: hda: packet command error: error=0x54 What seems to be the problem? The CD mounted properly, and I was able to read files on it. I also seems to have some issues with sound on this machine. When the computer is shutting down, I see an error message saying that shutting down aumix failed. I have aumix-2.8-6.EL installed. Thanks a lot for all your help again.

Not all dual-processor motherboards will work; some (such as the Tyan K8W S2885) try to distribute the load on the hypertransport bus by hanging the IO chipset off of one processor and hanging other HT chipsets off of the other (the AGP bus in the example of the Tyan S2885, though theoretically this could also be the PCI-X chipset or any other Hypertransport (HT) device). It's a fantastic strategy with two processors, but with only one, the absence of a processor would then eliminate that functionality. There is nothing there connecting the chipset to the rest of the HT bus. If it comes down to a choice between AGP or PCI-X and IO, I recommend keeping the IO. ;) Not populating one processor socket also means you will lose access to the memory slots associated with that socket. Having said that, if you can do without that functionality, I can't think of a reason why it wouldn't work. We tested several of the early AMD64 motherboards with only one processor populated and everything worked fine. As for what Red Hat product to put on the machine, any product should do nicely. I don't know of a Red Hat product that doesn't have a kernel that you couldn't use with multiple processors. When you want to switch from a uniprocessor kernel to a multiprocessor one, you simply `rpm -e uppackagename` and then `rpm -i smppackagename.x86_64.rpm` the new kernel. I was really hoping someone from Red Hat would answer your question, since the one thing I don't know for sure is whether the installer has to set up anything outside of the kernel to enable NUMA optimization for AMD64 once you have multiple processors (the kernel is supposed to allocate memory for a process to the bank connected to the processor where that process is running). Despite all of the documentation available on Andi Kleen's 2.4 NUMA kernel, I just don't know if Red Hat did it the same way. If you don't care about NUMA optimization, switching the kernels should be all you need to do. I can't imagine there being anything that would require a complete reinstall. > -----Original Message----- > From: amd64-list-bounces at redhat.com [mailto:amd64-list-bounces at redhat.com] > On Behalf Of soul > Sent: Wednesday, August 11, 2004 1:55 PM > To: amd64-list at redhat.com > Subject: Dual Opteron Upgrade Question > > I am building a server and it will eventually be Dual Opteron.

Only one CPU was in stock and we back ordered the second. Upon opening the package, I discovered a spooky little note from AMD that identified the importance of purchasing both CPUs with the same plant number. This is identified on the number on the chip- ie- OSADA244CC05 I can't remember what ours was and I can't find the slip that identified this requirement. I also couldn't find information on this at AMD's web-site. I've never run into this before and I don't know if this limitation would apply to your chipset. I would highly recommend that you request opening the CPU package at the supplier and look for the same notification (before purchasing). fyi... my supplier thought I was a nutjob and I returned the CPU w/ the note (they hadn't heard of this either). Upon calling their tech contact at AMD, they were more friendly. I swapped for two CPU's created from the same facility. Our system has worked very well for us- best of luck...JWG ----- Original Message ----- From: "soul" To: Sent: Wednesday, August 11, 2004 1:54 PM Subject: Dual Opteron Upgrade Question > I am building a server and it will eventually be Dual Opteron.

Heh, I think I know why you're writing this. Since my home PC is x86_64 and I use FC2 x86_64, I'd be more than happy to answer some platform questions you may have.

Actually there is more than that. RPM now takes arch as a variable when looking at packages. EG: rpm -q glibc.i686 is different from rpm -q glibc.x86_64. Same goes for rpm -e and all other things. > I try to view the apprent RPM bug #126853 at the root of this issue (?) > and I get: > You are not authorized to access bug #126853 > I didn't KNOW that there were "restricted bugs" in GPL... If the bug has sensitive vendor information, or is a security related bug, it can be closed to external viewing until such time the issue can be made public or the security matter is made public.
