Hi, I have to install Broadcom driver because the Dell Optiplex 330 running Centos 5.2 is not able to connect to the network. I am trying to install a Broadcom driver, but I get the followng error: [root at localhost tg3-3.85l]# [root at localhost tg3-3.85l]# make make -C /lib/modules/2.6.18-92.el5/build SUBDIRS=/usr/src/Server/Linux/Driver/tg3-3.85l modules make[1]: Entering directory

I've got an old Dell Optiplex (Pentium-II, 1998 Vintage) which is successfully running an X100P card. I'm hoping to upgrade to a TDM400. Has anybody tried running these cards in old Optiplex machines? I'm not particularly worried about horsepower - more about the motherboard having a PCI bus that's able to power up the card... -Ronan

Shantanu, let's continue here. You first noticed this on a Dell OptiPlex 755. I think it covers all Dell OptiPlex/Latitude/Precision models that are PCIe based with Intel LoM (LAN on motherboard) utilizing the BIOS PXE OROM, based on the similarity of these systems. The symptoms are that PXELINUX requests pxelinux.cfg/<UUID> by TFTP (but it might not strictly be a TFTP issue) when not

Hi, The CentOS 4.4 installation doesn't work on a Optiplex 745 because it doesn't support the sata controller. Is there a known work-around? (smaller prob: dvi video doesn't work at install time, vga only) If only we had CentOS 5 :-) Cheers, -- Henk van Lingen, Systems Administrator & DBA (o- -+ Dept. of Computer Science, Utrecht University.

Hi, I want to run a HVM domU. I have a Dell Optiplex 755: model name : Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E4500 @ 2.20GHz I have enabled VT in BIOS settings under performance. However, after I boot into a linux kernel (not under Xen), grep vmx /proc/cpuinfo returns nothing. When I boot under Xen, I get (XEN) Intel VT-d has been enabled (XEN) [VT-D]iommu.c:1700: Queued Invalidation hardware not

Hello all. Again I call upon the greats of this mailing list to help me with an issue related to MEMDISK - notably when paired with various Dell OptiPlex and Latitude systems. The issue presented itself sometime ago and I best dealt with it by remaining with version 3.83 of the SYSLINUX package. But valuing the improved changes fostered by newer versions, I would prefer to move forward with

Hello, I'm interrested in testing any possible workaroud for the Dell Optiplex GX620 keyboard problem, as I just can't downgrade the BIOS version on each and every Gx620 I have to (re)install ! (Plus I can't find a link to download the old A10 BIOS itself.) Don't hesitate to give me guidance on how to proceed, because I can't find anything relevant on the website

I have been using PXELINUX, with "LOCALBOOT 0" when wanting to boot from disk, for many years. Now on new Dell Optiplex 990 machines, PXE boot with "LOCALBOOT 0" hangs after message Booting from local disk... without the expected "Exiting PXE" message. I tried "LOCALBOOT -1" and some other values also, none seemed to work. I tested SYSLINUX 4.04.

Trying to PXE boot a Dell Optiplex 990 with BIOS A16, which has Intel Boot Agent 1.3.81 (2.1 build 089). It gets network and launches lpxelinux.0, I see the PXELINUX banner line, but there it hangs. I tried both 6.03-pre18 and 5.10, same hanging behavior. If I instead use pxelinux.0 or gpxelinux.0, either 6.03-pre18 or 5.10 or 4.07, there are no problems. The problem seems isolated to

I just started having an issue with PXELinux with one particular model of computer. The issue appears to occur on Dell Optiplex 740 computers, and any disk image that we try to boot with PXE Linux comes up with a Boot Disk Failure for two images or Cannot Load Kernel error for Dell Diagnostics. The error only appears to occurs on the Optiplex 740 model. I've tested PXE Linux and our boot

Sorry for the delay, we were too busy drinking and playing with explosives yesterday. :) Here are some tests. We did one on a similar machine and it worked. We deleted the configuration file, obviously. # Dell OptiPlex GX620 ISOLINUX 5.11 5.11-pre7 isolinux: Starting up, DL = 82 isolinux: Loaded spec packet OK, drive = 82 isolinux: Main image LBA = 00000115 isolinux: Image checksum error,

Hello All. I have a dell optiplex 320 that I can install centos5 on using pci=nomsi. That seems to be the only way. After the install grub loads but thats about as far as it gets. It looks like a BIOS bug to me, but I just don't know. I left it sit for a few minutes and it just had the echoed boot params on the screen. I've tried booting with noapic nolapic apm=off acpi=off and noprobe

Good morning, Dell has once again obsoleted out hardware and we're moving forward to the Optiplex 790 as a shipping platform with the integrated Intel graphics chip.? We're using CentOS 5.6 32 and 64-bit with a 2.6.18 kernel. What are my options for supporting the newest Intel graphics chipsets? -b

Hi, Does OCFS require NAS hardware to run or does normal PC hard disk work? Thanks, Pete -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: http://oss.oracle.com/pipermail/ocfs2-users/attachments/20081219/1bc9110b/attachment.html

This same system boots with syslinux-4.06. Let me know if there is any further info you need. We tried syslinux-5.11-pre5 as well. Patrick Verner partedmagic.com

I'm not exactly sure what you need. Is this it? ISOLINUX 4.06 0x513e88f5 isolinux: Starting up, DL = 82 isolinux: Loaded spec packet OK, drive = 82 isolinux: Main image LBA = 0000011D isolinux: Main image read, jumping to main code... I created an iso with isolinux-debug.bin as the boot loader and booted it on that machine. If this is not what you are looking for, what are correct steps?
