similar to: decTOP - Centos install fails but DSL frugal install worked

https://store.dataevolution.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=DT%2D7001 For $99 a nice little system with AMD Geode GX500 128Mb memory and 10Gb disk. Upgrade to 256Mb and off we go? Replace the hard drive with a Flash card, and run off a battery pack? Add Bluetooth (lower power draw that 802.11) and run IP over it to your desktop.... It does have ethernet, so a crossover cable works too.

I have a bug report in (0002288) on an install failure on my decTOPs (Centos 4.5 installed on them). I have tried a lot of combinations and it is getting tiring. What what happen, or rather how do I get the following to work: Put my HD into a computer (Compaq SSF that I have installed Centos 5 on with no trouble), install Centos 5, move the HD to the decTOP. Different Video card. No PS/2

I have a bunch of DecTOPs. Use the AMD Geode chip. Yesterday I upgraded one of them, and got the dreaded Kernel panic. Something about powernowk8. I could boot up with the old kernel, though. I know I have to put in a bug report on this, will do shortly, but first wanted to try a fresh install on another DecTOP. At the prompt, I specified: linux askmethod After it loaded the kernel, it

Well I found a significant source of my problems with these decTOPs. Hardware clock is back at Jan 2006. And many things fail..... And there is no way to access the bios from a boot sequence. On the one I discovered this, I watched everything get errors during all the reboots a Trixbox install goes through. Once I was allowed to log in, I ended using date to set the system date and

The unit has two sets of two USB ports. Each port is marked. One for the keyboard, another for the mouse, a third for the ethernet, and the forth for the printer. If I put the USB DVD/CDRW in the mouse port, and the keyboard in the printer port, I see the USB driver loading, and the CD is recognized. For both Centos 4.5 and 5.0 I have submitted a bug report on the Centos 5 crash further

greetings. i have been three days now trying to add ext3 to an existing suse-7.3 machine. i am using suse's own 2.4.13 kernel source. here is what i have done: following install, i ran tune2fs -j /dev/hda2 (also hda3 and hda4). .journal files were created on each partition, apparently uneventfully. wishing to avoid ai irreversable situation, i initially edited /etc/fstab thusly:

Hi, I tested xm block-attach command with a wrong parameter(file:). Naturally a command error occurred. Then I retested xm block-attach command with a correct parameter(phy:). But a command error occurred again. The second command error occurred because Xend did not remove device information from self.info when the first command error occurred. # xm block-attach vm1 file:/dev/hda4 hdb1 w

I have a set of systems that I have to build that cannot be booted from CD. So I put the drive in another system, do the install, move the drive, and fix the video with system-config-display. But seems perhaps there is another (small) problem. The build system has a PS/2 keyboard interface (and mouse). The target system has NO PS/2 interfaces. Only USB is available. So at boot I get the

I have a disk where serveral files have a file size that is much bigger then the space they actually use. THe file size is bogus. In the example below, the size is reported as 4.2MB but the file is really supposed to be on 116K which is true accoring to du and the block list from debugfs. However, doing a 'cat |wc' file actually gives me 4.2MB bytes. Where are those extra bytes coming

I have a newly built drive with 5.2 fresh install (that I will be cloning shortly) in my DECtop and it is failing with X the same way the upgrade from 5.1 drive did (not too supprising there). In 5.1 X worked. I could startx from init 3 and get into GNOME. Also VNC into the box and have a GNOME screen. With 5.2, I get a kernel panic. Well I guess it is a kernel panic because once I run

Sorry, this is going to be a rather long post...Here's the situation; I have 4 IDE disks from an old snap server which fails to mount the raid array. We believe there is a controller error on the SNAP so we've put them in another box running CentOS 5 and can see the disks OK. hda thru hdd looks like this Disk /dev/hdd: 185.2 GB, 185283624960 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 22526

Hi, The bios is not able to boot from usb, but only from floppy. I want to boot an Ubuntu-installation from usb. The iso-file was moved with usb-creator to the usb-stick. I have got a boot-floppy, which starts an DamnSmallLinux usb-stick. But this bootfloppy doesn't start the Ubuntu-usb-stick. Which parameters in syslinux.cfg I must change to start Ubuntu-Linux? There are the following

Hello all. I was playing with tune2fs to see how large the .journal file should be on a 17G partition with 512M ram (it's 32M, by the way). I am using plain 2.4.7 with ext3-2.4-0.9.4-247, compiled with gcc-2.96-85 on a RH7.1 distribution with the relevant changes, i.e. e2fsprogs-1.22-1, mount-2.11g-4 and util-linux-2.11f-3 taken from rawhide. I don't have any ext3 statement in /etc/fstab,

Hi all, i'm new in the list so i'm sorry if this i'm posting is off-topic or it was already answered before. I'm having this problem; i've got an ext3 8GB partition and it doesn't mount, the cause of this: a user (yes me!) running fsck.ext3 with the filesystem mounted, ups! (snif, forgive me!!, totally newbie and mad) errors while booting: EXT3_fs error (device hda4):

Hi, at first sorry for my bad english... I'm working on a little samba package for a routing projekt: www.fli4l.de This is a router, which runs from a single floppy. For easier use of printing functions for Win-Clients and for simple shares my package comes with Samba, with an very old version (1.9.18p10). I need this old version because she is very small and fits on the floppy. New

Hi @all, sorry for the repost but there was no answer and this is very important for me and the users of fli4l. > Hi, > > at first sorry for my bad english... > > I'm working on a little samba package for a routing projekt: > > www.fli4l.de > > This is a router, which runs from a single floppy.

I am looking into convising the boss to get me a mini-itx system to replace my workhorse notebook (I have to have a corp notebook and I can remote terminal into a Centos server from it). So I have been playing with one mini-itx system (the decTOP) and am looking at my options. I want a fast processor, 1Gb memory, LAN, 4USB, VGA. Wireless and bluetooth optional USB dongles along with a

I am installing Centos on a decTOP via ftp, that comes with a generic USB ethernet. I chose the last listed driver some USB ethernet, and the install took off. Got all the way to selecting packages and then it failed. I don't have any SCP stuff to copy the debug too, but it LOOKS like the ftp is failing now. As if the installer lost track of the driver I selected? Well I will try a

The tail of two systems and one hard drive. I install centos 5 on a HD while it is in a Compaq with 256Mb memory. After install, i am in graphics mode (Gnome) and top reports not quite all 256Mb used. Then I move the HD to a decTOP with 512Mb memory. I am running non-graphics (init 3). I ssh into the unit and top reports not quite all of that used..... So what ate up more than 256Mb
