How can I support big database in redHat linux?

I know in berkeley db, a database is like a table. But if I want to put must data into the table, the database file would bypass 2 gigabytes, which is not supported by the linux os. Is there a method to this?

Yes, OS does not support bigger file then 2G.
Why not berkeley DB use many different files to save
a single database automatically? If so, when a first
file's size if bypass the support of the OS, berkeley
DB will aotomatically create another big file.
ShuanghuaHi Shuanghua,
This feature request has not come up since most file systems can support files that exceed 2 GB. Since Linux has had this support for years, I suggest you look into turning that option on or going with a Kernel version/File system that supports files that exceed 2GB.
If you can come up with a good reason for this feature that would be useful to others than we will consider it for a future release. With the information you provided thus far, it seems like you should simply change your file system/Kernel so you can get around the restriction.

Need Advice on Oracle database 10.2.0.4.0 on RedHat Linux AS 4

Hi,
I would like to know whether Oracle Database 10.2.0.4.0 is certified to run on the RedHat Linux AS 4 (Nahant Update 6) with HugeMem Kernel?
actually, we were running the Oracle 10g(10.2.0.4.0) database on RedHat Linux AS 4 (Nahant Update 6) with SMP kernel. We faced "out of memory" error so we are planning to change the kernel to HugeMem from SMP.
Any suggestions on this would be highly appreciated!!!
Thanks in advance!!!
Siva

If you were facing the out of memory errors, could you elaborate more on the circumstances these errors showed up? You could be facing the same situation after upgrading the OS if you don't properly diagnose the root cause.

BI Platform 4.1 SP1 on Redhat Linux 6.5 DB2v9 Data Access Driver Error in IDT

Hi,
I am new to SAP BusinessObject BI Platform 4.1 and trying to create a JDBC relational connection in Information Design Tool to connect to a DB2 v9 database on Redhat Linux 6.5 environment.
I used the follow steps to create my relational connection
1. Launch IDT
2. Create New Relational Connection
3. Expand IBM -> db2 v9 and select JDBC drivers
4. Provide the authentication credentials and click Test Connection.
When I test the connection I get Test failed when I click Show details I see com.ibm.db2.jcc.DB2Driver.
I followed the instructions in SAP Note 1696766 and copied the db2 drivers (db2jcc.jar and db2jcc_license_cu.jar) into the directory ../dataAccess/connectionServer/drivers/java/db2. I also updated both the db2.sbo and jdbc.sbo files to include the CLASSPATH variable for the 2 files. Below is a sample of my jdbc.sbo file
<JDBCDriver>
            <ClassPath>
                <Path>$ROOT$/jdbc/drivers/db2/db2jcc.jar</Path>
                <Path>$ROOT$/jdbc/drivers/db2/db2jcc_license_cu.jar</Path>
            </ClassPath>
</JDBCDriver>
Where can I find the connection server logs?
Please help.
Thanks,
Shirley Baffoe

Hi,
all right. Then you should activate the IDT Trace and check whats in there:
http://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1934985
http://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1929159
What you could also try is using the Middleware of your SAP BI Installation. Check the following setting in your IDT. Go to Window -> Preferences

Install 8.1.7 on RedHat 9 hangs after Initializing JVM from ..Please Wait

I am trying to install 8i 8.1.7 on redhat linux 9. when I start the installer I initially got the first error below. I did export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.1. Now the installation starts and I get

and then get back to the $prompt after some time and the welcome screen never comes up.
Whats wrong?

Hi,
Follow the Steps below as I managed to configure and Install it with the help of these steps
1. Things you need before the installation
Before you start installing Oracle, you need to have the following packages:
�     jdk-1.1.8_v3 - Blackdown Linux port of Sun's Java Development Kit
You can find it at www.blackdown.org
�     Red Hat Linux 6.2 compatibility packages
compat-libstdc++-6.2-2.9.0.16
compat-glibc-6.2-2.1.3.2
compat-libs-6.2-3
compat-egcs-6.2-1.1.2.16
You can find these packages on your RedHat CDs, download them from RedHat site, or from some mirror site.
�     glibc-2.1.3-stubs Patch from Oracle.
2. Pre-install actions
2.1 Installing compatibility packages
Install all of the RedHat 6.2 compatibility packages mentioned above by issuing rpm -Uvh package_name, e.g:
# rpm -Uvh /mnt/cdrom/RedHat/RPMS/compat-libs-6.2-3.i386.rpm
2.2 Installing Java development kit
According to jdk documentation, we will install it under /usr/local by issuing e.g.
# tar -xvjf jdk-1.1.8_v3.tar.bz2 -C /usr/local
Note that it is not necessary to add path to the java executables in PATH environment variable, so you can safely keep whatever jdk or jre version you already have.
2.3 User oracle, groups and software mount points
We need to create two groups, oinstall and dba.
The oinstall group will own all the installation files, so user oracle should have the oinstall group as its initial group. We also need one more group, dba, that will have oracle's SYSDBA and SYSOPER privileges granted. User oracle should have the dba group as its supplementary group. Note that all linux users (accounts) that are in group dba will also get these privileges.
# groupadd oinstall
# groupadd dba
# useradd -g oinstall -G dba oracle
# passwd oracle
Create directories in which database files will reside. Oracle recommends OFA - Optimal Flexible Architecture (see oracle installation guide), but in this example everything will be installed under /home/oracle:
# mkdir /home/oracle/product
# cd /home/oracle/product
# mkdir 8.1.7
# chown -R oracle.oinstall /home/oracle/*
2.4 Setting the environment for oracle account
We should now login as user oracle and put the following lines at the end of .bash_profile:
export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.5
source /usr/i386-glibc21-linux/bin/i386-glibc21-linux-env.sh
export ORACLE_BASE=/home/oracle
export ORACLE_HOME=$ORACLE_BASE/product/8.1.7
export ORA_NLS33=$ORACLE_HOME/ocommon/nls/admin/data
export PATH=$PATH:$ORACLE_HOME/bin
unset LANG
First two lines modify your environment so that gcc and ld look for glibc 2.1.3 compatibility headers and libraries.
The unset LANG line is there because if LANG is set, java is known to generate JNLS Exceptions.
Listing of valid Oracle NLS Data parameters including supported languages, territories and storage character sets can be found here.
The .bash_profile should now be executed in order to initialize these variables:
$ source /home/oracle/.bash_profile
or we can just log off and than back on as user oracle.
If you use some shell other than bash (tcsh, sh, ...) all of those variables should be set according to syntax of your shell and put in script that automatically executes at user login.

>
so please can any body tell me what is the issue I downloaded oracle from oracle website itself .Yes. The issue is your assumption.
Why do you assume that the o/s is automatically configured with the required s/w components for running Oracle 10g? Should the o/s have a clairvoyant module that "knows" it needs to prep itself when it is installed for supporting Oracle 10g? And not as a Weblogic server? Or mySQL? Or Postgress? Or JBoss? Or Oracle 11g?
Be glad that Oracle s/w actually tells you exactly what it needs from the o/s that is missing or needs correction. As this is exactly how a robust s/w stack should behave.

How can I enable trace log in Oracle Database 10g ( in RedHat Linux)

Dear Forums Members,
Could u plz drop a message about how can I enable $Oracle_Home/network/trace
in Oracle Database 10g (Operating system is RedHat Linux Advanced Server 3).
I will very greatful if someone reply my message.
Thanks
Aungshu

To enable Tracing for a session Level.
ALTER SESSION SET TRACEFILE_IDENTIFIER = 'my_trace_id';
Enable the SQL Trace facility for the session by using one of the following:
SQL> Exec DBMS_SESSION.SET_SQL_TRACE
or
SQL> ALTER SESSION SET SQL_TRACE = TRUE;
To disable the SQL Trace facility for the session, enter:
ALTER SESSION SET SQL_TRACE = FALSE;
To enable Tracing for a database level.
Edit init parameter SQL_TRACE = TRUE.
Its not recomended because running the SQL Trace facility increases system overhead, enable it only when tuning SQL statements, and disable it when you are finished

Problems and solutions for 9i DB R2 install on Redhat Linux AS 2.1

Installing 9iDB R2 9.2.0.1.0 on Redhat Linux Advanced Server 2.1 (aka Redhat Enterprise Linux (AS))
and applying patchset 2 (9.2.0.3.0)
This is a certified platform but I hit many problems getting the install to work. Here are the problems I hit and how I solved them.
Note: This is not intended to be a install for dummies but just an account of all my problems and how I overcame them. I spent 10 hours on this certified install (mostly looking for solutions to the problems I was having)
I had a Intel Pentium 3 with 512 Meg RAM. (test machine)
1. Install Redhat Linux
2. Install Sun JDK 1.3.1 (this is not actually required for this install. I installed it as I was planning to install 9iAS after this)
3. Install binutils-2.11.90.0.8-13 (also not required. I installed it for 9iAS)
All other components were ok on my Redhat Linux install (i.e. kernel version, glibc)
4. Create oracle user with dba group
5. Create oracle home and oracle base directories. Ensure these are owned by oracle with rwx
6. Set kernel parameters and make sure that they are initialized every startup:
I managed to locate this script in the Redhat document called
"Deploying Oracle9iTM on Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS"
create a file called oracle.sh in /etc and give it execute permissions
oracle.sh
#!/bin/bash
# configures kernel and system parameters for Oracle9i R2
# File handles
echo 65536 > /proc/sys/fs/file-max
ulimit -n 65536
# Shared memory
# The default SHMMAX value is too low and likely to cause a failure during
# database creation. SHMMAX should be equal to half of your system's physical
# RAM.
# The default is for 512 MB of RAM. Replace the default value as appropriate
# for the amount of memory in your system, i.e.,
# 512 MB : 268435456
# 1 GB : 536870912
# 2 GB : 1073741824
# 4 GB : 2147483648
echo 268435456 > /proc/sys/kernel/shmmax
# It is generally safe to leave these next two values as they are
echo 4096 > /proc/sys/kernel/shmmni
echo 2097152 > /proc/sys/kernel/shmall
# Semaphores
echo 250 32000 100 128 > /proc/sys/kernel/sem
# Sockets
echo 1024 65000 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_local_port_range
# Processes
ulimit -u 16384
----EOF---------
then...
# chmod +x /etc/oracle.sh # make executable
# . /etc/oracle.sh # apply changes now
edit /etc/rc.local to ensure this is run on startup
append to /etc/rc.local
# configure system for Oracle9i R2
bash /etc/oracle.sh
--------EOF--------------------
7. create a generic oracle environment setup script for all users to run
create the file /etc/profile.d/oracleenv.sh
be sure to change the variables to your environment (ORACLE_BASE, ORACLE_HOME and ORACLE_SID)
oracleenv.sh
# Configures the user's environment for Oracle9i R2
ORACLE_BASE=/opt/oracle
ORACLE_HOME=$ORACLE_BASE/product/9.2.0.1.0
ORA_NLS33=$ORACLE_HOME/ocommon/nls/admin/data
ORACLE_SID=orcl
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/bin:$PATH
export ORACLE_BASE ORACLE_HOME ORA_NLS33 ORACLE_SID LD_LIBRARY_PATH PATH
----EOF---------
chmod 755 /etc/profile.d/oraclenv.sh
This file will run when a user logs in.
8. Install oracle DB
This took me quite a few attempts.
The first Install I did I received the error jre was not found. This issue seemed to be relating to the fact I was not installing on a Pentium 4. Oracle was looking for the jre in oracle.swd.jre/bin/i686 (and .../lib/i686) when some of the files were placed in i386 and java was looking in i386. This created a real mess. I had encountered a similar problem on a previous install on a different platform. I found articles of people that tried to just link the directories with symbolic links but this never worked. I tried my own version but also failed.
The solution that worked for me was to de-install, remove all the oracle directories created by the install (this part I had always done) AND also delete the file /etc/oraInstl.loc. This makes the Installer truly believe this is the first time Oracle has been installed on this box. My jre problem disappeared after that. (I don't know why it just didn't work in the first place...)
The next error I received was an ORA-03113 when creating the database (in the dbca). (It was actually at this point that I found the document from redhat as mentioned in my set 6 above) I also noticed that when running the install of the database, the default was for Oracle's SGA to use 70% of the available memory on my machine (I have 512M so that's 360M). Oracle instructed me to set shmmax to around 240M. This may be why the database creation failed as I thought the shmmax parameter needed to be larger that SGA. Anyway, I reduce the SGA to 50% and it worked.
This error may also have been caused by the kernel parameters not being set properly after a reboot so if you implementing stop 6 above. You may never get this problem, hopefully.
8. Install the universal Installer 2.2.0.18.0 (a prerequisite for installing the patchset 2)
You will need this to install the patchset 2. You can get it from metalink by searching for the bug number in the patch area. Search for bug/patch number 2878462 in patches. (37Meg for linux intel)
(Did you know that when oracle refer to a bug number, you should treat this as a patch number? General the bugs are not available for public viewing but oracle create a patch of the same number as a placeholder. So don't search for the bug in the site search or by doc id, go straight to the "patches" area and enter the bug number as a patch number, you'll have more success. - I only found that out today after struggling with metalink for the last 4 years)
9. Install the patchset 2
I downloaded patchset 2 (which will bring my DB version to 9.2.0.3.0) (220Meg). There is a special symbolic link command you'll need so make sure you remember to do this.
i.e.
$ cd $ORACLE_BASE/oui/bin/link
$ ln -s libclntsh.so.9.0 libclntsh.so
10. Migrate your database
I could not get this to work. The docs says I need at least 150M shared_pool_size and 150M Java_pool_size before running the startup migrate. As I only have 512Meg RAM (and shmmax set to 230M) I did hold much hope that this would work. I started my DB without the migrate option just to see if it would actually open with 300M in my pools. It did, so I shut it down and restarted with the migrate option. After 5 minutes of heavy processing (I still have an empty database) my server appeared to hang. I decided to restart the machine and just re-create my DB with the new patchset already applied. I delete my $ORACLE_BASE/oradata/<sid> directory and remove the entry from /etc/oratab and re-created my DB. This worked fine :)
I hope this document helps you for your install. Please drop me line if it does help and I'll endevour to write more documents like this one.
Please drop me a quick line at [email protected] even just to say "thanks".
I will include a few keywords here to help the searches find this document. (mainly the keywords I searched on and failed to find a doc like this one)

Good luck,
Tim Daniell.

The trick that worked for me was on a 2nd attempt. I installed once, let it fail with "jre was not found", de-install through the installer, delete all directories and files under $ORACLE_BASE (including $ORACLE_HOME), and also delete /etc/oraInst.loc.
I don't know why it fixes itself with this. Oracle say this is an unresolved bug 2726268 that lies in the installer. This is still unresolved by Oracle (as at 02-June-03) therefore it is not a published bug/patch. If this doesn't work, I suggest you open an iTAR and see if Oracle has any more suggestions for you.
Cheers,
Tim.

Can any one help me. I tried to install Oracel 8.1.5 on RedHat Linux 7.0 and failed.

I am running my system with RedHat Linux 7.0 and tried to install Oracle 8.1.5.
I extracted jre required files and when i tried to start ./runIns.sh from install/linux directory it is giving me an error Unable to initalize threads: cannot find class Java/lang/Thread
Could not create JVM
i tried 3 times and i ended up here and i need instruction to sort out the problem as earlier as possible.pls do advice me in this.
pls send the solution ASAP to my email id - ([email protected])

Make sure you have IBM's Java 1.1.8 JRE/JDK installed on your server and $JAVA_HOME set. Check the Oracle installation instructions. One other problem with Red Hat 7.0. is that
there is a libc library incompatibility problem with Red Hat linux 7.0 and Oracle 8i. The database will not start after you install it. Go to MetaLink (if you have support) and search for document # 121176.1. Basically, you have to download an older version of glibc, modify your Oracle link environment files, re-link the database executables and all will work normally. I did it on my Red Hat Linux 7.0 server two weeks ago and everything is working fine. Only other alternative is downgrade to Red Hat 6.2.

I installed Redhat Linux 7.0 and now I'm trying to install the SDK 1.3. I downloaded the Linux version RPM shell script, but it is a .bin file and fails with unrecognized package when I issue the Linux command rpm -ivh filename. So then I downloaded the GNUZIP Tar shell script, but that gave me the same file name.(but the file lengths are different). I'm new to Linux. How do I install either of these versions?

When I tried to run some application, I received the
following error:
"Segmentation fault"
Is this error caused by Java Virtual Machine problem
on Linux ?From <http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/relnotes.html>
* For Linux users - The newer glibc-2.2.x libraries cannot correctly handle initial thread stack sizes larger than 6 MB. This can cause a segmentation fault on come Linux platforms that use the newer libraries. Such platforms include Red Hat 7.0, Mandrake 8.0, SuSe 7.2, and Debian 2.2. The problem will not occur on Linux platforms that are using glibc-2.1.x such as Red Hat 6.1 and 6.2. It will also not affect Red Hat 7.1 because it uses a different thread stack layout. This problem is being tracked as bug 4466587.
Workaround - Use "ulimit -s 2048" in bash shell or "limit stacksize 2048" in tcsh to limit the initial thread stack to 2 MB.
If you add the command to ~/.bash_profile, it should run each time you login.

Problem when install 8.1.6 on redhat linux 7.0

I try install oracle 8.1.6 on redhat linux 7(install type:typical)
but after install and link complete the database configration assistant start and at step 3 "initialize the database"(the progress is 80%) the OUI is not response for a long time(one hour) and setup is failure!
I try it 5 times ,so who can help me?

glibc has been updated?
it is said that there is problem in glibc 2.2. Check your glibc, and then again.
lucky to your!

Installation of oracle 10g on RedHat Linux EE 3

Hi,
I am going to Install of oracle 10g on RedHat Linux EE 3, rigth now i am running oracle 9i on windows platform. I need following things:
-I want to export all my data from oracle 9i on windows. For this what is the best way should i transport my tablespace and install oracle 10g on linux and import them after creating db or should i simply export and import it from there.
-Is there any issues that i should look at before i transfer my database.
-We are a Industrial Laboratory and use scientific notation in our database. Would this import export can takecare of all the things or should i set some character set setting before import/export.
-Any thing else if you thing that i should take care.
Thanks & Regard
Rashid K.K

You cannot use transportable tablespace. Platform independent transportable tablespace run only on newer versions (10g). You have to create the tablespaces on you linux machine and than exp/imp (full=y).

Problem installing Oracle 9.2 on RedHat Linux 7.1 and 9.0

Hi everyone,
As the subject line says, I tried installing Oracle 9.2 on
RedHat Linux 7.1 and 9.0, strictly following instructions
written by Werner Puschitz
(http://www.puschitz.com/InstallingOracle9i.shtml). Both
attempts failed with identical symptoms:
- the installer asks for Disk 2
- after the disk is inserted, it hangs. It turns out that
kernel is writing messages similar to these in
/var/log/messages:
Jun 16 02:45:19 boston kernel: 16:00: rw=0, want=317696, limit=149920
Jun 16 02:45:19 boston kernel: attempt to access beyond end of device
Unless interrupted, this continues until the /tmp filesystem gets full.
Has anyone experienced this? I haven't been able to find
an explanation so far.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Regards,
Ljubomir Buturovic

Providing a thread-bare configuration of your machine on which you are trying to install Oracle on Linux (and mind you - which kernel/distro, coz that's important) would definitely help you elicit more responses to your messages.

This is my work-around for RH 7. This John Smiley's step-by-step description which is posted elsewhere on this forum. It is better put than my original post:
Here is a step-by-step process for getting Oracle 8.1.6 or 8.1.7 working on systems with glibc 2.2 (don't bother with 8.1.5 if you can help it):
1. Install the compat-glibc RPM for 2.1.3.x
2. cd to the directory where compat-glibc installed the files (for me it's /usr/i386-glibc21-linux/lib).
3. Copy the following files to $ORACLE_HOME/lib:
libc-2.1.3.so
libpthread.so
libdl.so
ld-linux.so.2
For me, several of these are symbolic links, so you'll need to copy the target of the symbolic link and rename it to the link name when you copy it to $ORACLE_HOME/lib.
For example, if ls -l shows:
ld-linux.so.2 -> ld-2.1.3.so
libc-2.1.3.so
libdl.so -> libdl.so.2
libpthread.so -> libpthread.so.0
Then you will:
cp ld-2.1.3.so $ORACLE_HOME/lib/ld-linux.so.2
cp libc-2.1.3.so $ORACLE_HOME/lib
cp libdl.so.2 $ORACLE_HOME/lib/libdl.so
cp libpthread.so.0 $ORACLE_HOME/lib/libpthread.so
4. Create a file in $ORACLE_HOME/lib called libc.so with the following contents (as a single line):
GROUP ( <OH>/lib/libc-2.1.3.so <OH>/lib/ld-linux.so.2 <CL>/libc_nonshared.a )
Substitute the value of $ORACLE_HOME for <OH> and the location of the compat-glibc directory for <CL>. For example:
My $ORACLE_HOME is:
/u01/app/oracle/product/8.1.7
and my compat-glibc directory is:
/usr/i386-glibc21-linux/lib
so the GROUP line looks like this for me:
GROUP (/u01/app/oracle/product/8.1.7/lib/libc-2.1.3.so /u01/app/oracle/product/8.1.7/lib/ld-linux.so.2 /usr/i386-glibc21-linux/lib/libc_nonshared.a)
This is all one line.
5. cd $ORACLE_HOME/bin
6. Run the following command from the UNIX prompt:
relink all
All of the Oracle software, including the assitants, will work fine now.

REDHAT LINUX 7.3 on nForce based systems - An installation guide.

INSTALLING REDHAT LINUX 7.3 ON NFORCE BASED SYSTEMS.
A) Preface
I'm a Linux newbie, just sharing my experience with installing linux on nforce.
in my opinion Linux is a powerful but still a nascent operating system (in terms of user friendliness atleast!). many features are extremely 'release' and 'version' dependent. this means that, what works in redhat might not work in mandrake or what works in redhat 7.3 might not work in redhat 7.1 or likewise...
the steps i'm listing below just reflects how i went about installing RH 7.3 on my machine (K7N420D). it MAY not work for other versions or releases.
B) BIOS SETTINGS
1. I recommend, PnP disabled, ACPI/APIC disabled.
for Mandrake 8.2 install on some machines (mine included), i suggest disabling audio and network in the bios till you get a stable level 3 (console without X windows) or level 5 install. for some reason, sometimes, on some boards, Mandrake 8.2 hangs when probing audio and lan during boot.
C) PREPARING TO INSTALL
1. i suggest you get the three iso images from the internet and burn them into installation disks. though there are other ways of installing, this is the simplest way of doing it.
2. if you have windows installed already, make sure you have a windows boot floppy in case of boot problems, you can also make one for linux during installation.
3. using windows or fdisk strip off a sufficient chunk of hard disk space from an existing partition if you don't have a free partition. you need not create any partitions, just the non-allocated space would do. (as red hat can beautifully split this partition into /boot, / & swap partitions!)
4. i recommend using GRUB (GRand Unified Boot-loader) instead of LILO for boot management. if you prefer the same way, get good documentation/how-to for grub from the net. this will be handy if you mess up your boot partition and end up in a grub prompt during boot.
5. goto nvidia's drivers page and get appropriate drivers. i always recommend tar balls or src.rpm files instead of pre-compiled rpms. if you are using EXACT same version of the linux release as mentioned in the drivers page you can use rpms. If you wish to upgrade your kernel or use a different version of linux then make sure you have tar balls or source rpm files. make sure you also print the installation instructions from the same page.
6. the drivers you need are
a. NVIDIA_nforce-1.xxxx. - you need this one for audio & lan. (found in nforce link in drivers menu in nvidia site with an instruction manual)
b. NVIDIA_kernel-xxxx AND NVIDIA_GLX-xxxx- both these for Graphics in Xwindows. these two drivers should be exactly matched. i suggest you download all of them along with a files named NVchooser.sh found on the same page. NVchooser will tell you which pair to install for your linux kernel version and CPU.
D) LINUX INSTALLATION
1. boot from 1st installation disk that you made. go through the GUI installer and choose automatic partitioning, it will take you to the Disk Druid and you can select the partition in which you wanna install linux. if the partition you choose is unallocated, most of the times didk druid will make three patrtions on its own, one is /boot (boot partion), /swap (partition for swap, similar to ramdisk) and / (root partition). all the three mount-points may be allocated on the same partition too.
2. Choose GRUB (if you prefer) as boot loader and set Linux as primary boot OS and this page would've detected windows if you've already (it may appear as DOS). Choose "MBR" to install GrUB. If you get any warning ignore it. IMPORTANT: If you have NTFS partition for windows and you had windows as primary OS, there is a reported problem that says, in some versions of the linux installer, choosing MBR to install GRUB makes it hard to boot into windows. i haven't tried that option yet as i don't have a NTFS partition. If you have an NTFS partition, you may prefer to choose the other option to install GRUB or you may choose to install it later. in either case make sure you have a boot floppy to get you into linux or windows, whichever one you want.
3. choose automatic install if you don't want to control which packages you want to install. else choose expert installation and proceed with it.
4. when prompted to check the packages you want to install, choose "development tools" or something similar without fail. This is for installing a C compiler which is a must have for some driver installations. (this also installs perl and other dev tools, if you're an 'expert', there's an option in this page to custom select modules)
5. somewhere you'll be asked to provide a root password, in the same page there'll be a provision to add users other than root. create atleast one user other than root at this time.
4. somewhere you'll be shown a list of video adapters with NVIDIA Geforce 2 generic driver already highlighted. Below this screen you'll see a "Skip X install" or something similar. CHECK THIS TAB and this will NOT install the generic driver for your integrated GPU and also will not configure the GUI environment for Linux. This makes your video configuration a little easier.
5. now linux will install, get configured and will ask if you wanna create a boot floppy. make one just in case you
6. RH 7.3 will not recognize your APU and integrated LAN. you can install the drivers for this later.
7. After installation boot into Linux, if you just followed the steps above you'll nicely end up in level 3 console!
E) INSTALLING DRIVERS
1. Assuming you got all the drivers in CD/floppy, login as 'user', type command "su" (super user) supply root password, now you are logged in as root. read the installation manual for the NVIDIA drivers and install NVIDIA_nforce-1.xxxx drivers for audio/LAN. do these series of steps from the console prompt,
#vi /etc/modules.conf
press INSERT key, add the following lines,
alias eth0 mcpeth
alias sound-slot-1 i810_audio
alias usb-interface usb-ohci
press ESC, (Shift) colon, wq and Enter.
This will save the changes you made.
2. Now install the NVIDIA_kernel-xxxx AND NVIDIA_GLX-xxxx- drivers as per instructions. follow the steps below.
#XConfigurator
Choose settings that are relevant to the monitor you use and mode supported. Choose custom configuration wherever possible. If your monitor is not listed, choose 'custom' all the way through and provide hardware details such as horiz/vert freq range, video memory and clock settings (choose 'recommended').
DO NOT LET THE XCONFIGURATOR PROBE ANYTHING. sometimes this might cause a hang that is not necessary at all.
select all videomodes and color depths that you think your monitor will support and exit XConfigurator without any probing.
3. Now at the prompt do the following,
#vi /etc/X11/XF86Config-4
Press INSERT and make following changes.
replace line
Driver "nv"
with
Driver "nvidia"
In the Module section, make sure you have:
Load "glx"
Remove the following lines: (or put a hash before)
Load "dri"
Load "GLcore"
and the whole
Section "DRI" (last three lines usually, DRI may be in lower case usually)
Press Esc, (Shift) colon, wq, Enter to save and exit.
4. using vi make sure you have these lines in /etc/modules.conf file
alias char-major-195 NVdriver
5. edit /etc/rc.d/rc.local and insert
/sbin/modprobe nvaudio
/sbin/modprobe nvnet
save and exit. ( this is a crude way of loading modules but it works though!)
6. Type "reboot" at prompt and reboot your system.
7. get into bios and load original settings. (get back ACPI if you have windows, enable PnP OS etc)
8. During restart linux may get you into the kudzu installer to install network drivers/audio, ignore this.
9. login as "user" and type "startx" from console, your GUI should start smooth and you'll have video, sound, USB, LAN working (you need to fiddle a little bit more to get things work perfect) !
10. There is extensive documentation found in the internet on these topics, have fun exploring them.
F) TWEAKING YOUR HARD DRIVE
most of the modern hard drives support UDMA transfers and usually linux is pretty much conservative on this option. so you might want to force linux to use UDMA. the following discussion assumes that your hard drive is /dev/hda, change it to hdb, hdc etc as per your setup.
CAUTION: The 'hdparm' utility described here is a very powerful and dangerous if used improperly. USING hdparm IMPROPERLY MIGHT CORRUPT YOUR PARTITIONS AND RESULT IN SEVERE DATA LOSS. hdparm works with IDE drives. i'm not sure how it works on SCSI drives.
@ console,
1. type "man hdparm" and read through the hdparm manual atleast twice before you understand what it can do. THIS IS A MUST.
2. login as root or get into super user mode and try the following. all commands are shown after #
3. Benchmark the hard drive
# /sbin/hdparm -t -T /dev/hda
this should spit out the transfer rate both cached and sustained. note this value. if these values are close to what you expect out of your drive, you are OK. you may get out of further adventures! if the transfer rates are horrible like 3.5 Mbps etc (it was on my seagate ata IV drive!), then proceed with the tweaks. the golden rule is, after each tweak, run the benchmark and record your transfer rate. if there is no significant improvement, revert back to the default settings.
4. # /sbin/hdparm -i /dev/hda
note down MaxMultSect, MultSect, Modes supported : PIO/DMA, especially the mode with a 'star' in front of it. (prefered mode)
5. 32 bit I/O : to enable 32 bit I/O over the PCI bus
# /sbin/hdparm -c1 /dev/hda
this usually doubles your transfer rate if the drive supports. you may need to use -c3 for some chipsets.
6. Enable DMA and set DMA mode
if your drive supports DMA find out the prefered DMA mode using -i option.
# /sbin/hdparm -d1 -Xab /dev/hda, where
ab=64 + uDMA mode number (for eg. 66 for UDMA 2)
ab=32 + DMA mode number (for multi-word DMA mode)
you might need to prepare the chipset to enable DMA but on most of the modern hard dirves this works. refer to the "man hdparm" for details. beware, the options to 'prepare' the chipset for DMA should be used with EXTREME caution. if you do not know what you are doing, don't try it.
7. To set multiple sector mode I/O,
# /sbin/hdparm -m XX /dev/hda
where XX is the MaxMultSect value obtained using -i option. if the MaxSect is already set to this value, you need not tweak this.
after all these tweaks run the benchmark atleast three times consecutively and average the transfer rates. make sure you don't hear grinding noises in the hard drive. use these tweaks a couple of times manually and if verything appears to be working fine, add the necessary commands to the rc.local script to execute them automatically during start up.
G) FINAL WORDS
I assumed that you're a total 'newbie' to linux when writing this so i followed a conservative approach. most of the things that i described can be done in many ways, it's up to you to explore them! as usual, there MIGHT be typos and other serious errors in this guide. also the driver files that i might have mentioned here are the ones that were available when i wrote this. so you might wanna try their latest equivalents. i'm open to all healthy criticism and suggestions. when i installed linux on my nforce board, i was badly looking for an article like this on the net. i missed one, if it exists at all. so am i writing this. i hope you'll get benefitted by this in some way.

Venkat,
Thanks for this really really amazingly accurate and exhaustive post that helped me A LOT to install linux on my machine!!! Otherwise, I think I would still be hanging with a mandrake 8.2 trying to load sound...
My system is now fully functional but, (yes, there is a little but) I was not able to make the LAN function properly. When booting, while linux tries to load the ethernet module, I get something like:
'mcpeth device does not seem to be present, delaying eth0 initialiation'. Then, I open an X session, I try to use the network configurator, the ethernet device is there but when trying to activate, it fails... I swear I enabled the LAN in my BIOS.
I also tried to replace 'alias eth0 mcpeth' with 'alias eth0 nvnet' in /etc/modules.conf after reading the installation notes of NVIDIA drivers. I get a slighty different result: my boot error is now 'failed to load module'.
It is a shame I have to boot back to Windows to use my DSL connection. I think i need some insights. It will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Chouch
