Sound card driver problems in Linux Mandrake
by daneel＠mail.utexas.edu 18 Aug '03

18 Aug '03

Hi, I have recently installed the open source distro of Linux Mandrake on my IBM Thinkpad 770Z Laptop on a journalised ext3 partition together with win XP on an NTFS partition. My soundcard is a crystal Semiconductors cirrus logic card whose specs are given below: Cirrus CS4610/1 CrystalClear SoundFusion Audio The mandrake conf tool says that the required driver is labelled cs46xx, and that it has been moduled in the kernel, but I am getting no sounds at all. The hardware is fine, because I get sound when I boot to XP. The dmesg output says that my drivers are not moduled in the kernel. Therefore, I did make xconfig and looked it up. I moduled the relevant drivers and did make dep, make modules, make modules_install etc and created new boot images and recompiled. The recompiled kernel clobbered my linux as I could not access any services at all, let alone sound. I restored the earlier images and kernel files from backups and was able to restore my system to it's original configuration, but still not getting any sound. Since I am new to Linux, I do not know details about linux kernels and how to compile them properly, despite my following the LINUX KERNEL HOWTO doc to the hilt. I am in dire need of assistance from a more knowledgeable linux user/administrator who can instruct me on what to do. Thanks, AR

Help 4 Mandrake 7.0 Installation
by Linlov L 17 Aug '03

17 Aug '03

Dear Linuxers, I wish to install Mandrake Linux 7.0 I have partitioned drives C and D on which I have WIN ME. I tried 2 install Lnx4win on drive D but the msg say that since WIN ME does NOT hve REAL MS DOS, the installation CANNOT proceed. For that, I need Win98 for Lnx4win to be installed. The other option is to install it directly by rebooting. Since I dont knw much about partitions etc. I cannot proceed because I get stuck at the installation dialog box that aks me to choose the drive where I wanna install Linux. However, it also warns that UNLESS I'm comfy with Partitions etc I should not fiddle around because all data might be erased. And the confusion about Mount point, Resize precludes me from going ahead with the installation. I wish to retain WIN ME and other important data on drive C and yet have Mandrake on D. How do I go about it? I wud appreciate any help in this regard. Thanks in advance. Linlov. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

X Restarts(Mangesh Bhalerao)
by Vidhata Deshpande 16 Aug '03

16 Aug '03

Thanx Mangesh The same problem came up when I initially installed Gnu/Linux. Subsequently I just re-installed Redhat 8.0, and the problem disappeared. But now I will download the the latest i810 drivers for X and do things correctly. Vidhata.

The problem is with the i810 drivers if u have these boards. Now the way to get out of it is only to upgrade the X-server's driver. Download the letest XFree86(i810) driver and compile them. This may solve your problem.

Re: cluster Vs Grid
by VC Bothra 14 Aug '03

Here's a link to my blog post which answers your question: http://www.jainnet.com/knowledgeeldorado/archives/2002/09/05/index.html#gri… Grid is a type of parallel and distributed system that enables the sharing, selection, and aggregation of resources distributed across "multiple" administrative domains based on their (resources) availability, capability, performance, cost, and users' quality-of-service requirements. If distributed resources happen to be managed by a single, global centralised scheduling system, then it is a cluster. In cluster, all nodes work cooperatively with common goal and objective as the resource allocation is performed by a centralised, global resource manager. In Grid, each node has its own resource manager and allocation policy.
