Help with installing Arch x64 to Silicon Image SiI 0680 raid card

I am having one heck of a time trying to find information on installing Arch on a Silicon Image SiI 0680 raid card. I have searched both the wiki and the forums and I cannot find any information about this card. I am trying to install a raid 0 setup on Arch x64 Could someone point me in the right direction, any help is appreciated. Thank you.

[SOLVED] Help me install Arch on my W540

Hi guys,
I'm trying to install ArchLinux on my Lenovo W540. I've installed Arch on so many other Notebooks and desktop computers before but they all had a non UEFI Bios. This one is a bit tricky.
I dd'ed the arch iso on my usb and booted it up.
The result is a freeze during booting from the usb: http://i.imgur.com/hUMT36E.jpg
Can anyone help me install Arch on my W540? Or tell me what the problem is?
Thanks in advance

Ok, I got a solution but this will probably piss off some people googling for "how to install Arch Linux on Lenovo W540" because it's not a reproducable solution (sorry).
TL;DR: USB flash drive was corrupt.
After booting from the USB, I changed the boot parameters of the x86_64 entry and added a "nomodeset". This would prevent the graphical drivers from loading, because the problem was apparantly with the nouveau-module.
The live system booted and I got to the point where I partitioned my SSD. The command "mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda1" got me some I/O errors so I thought the USB flash drive might be corrupted (it was pretty old).
I dd'ed the arch iso on a new USB flash drive which somehow could load the nouveau module without any problems. And now I'm running my beloved Arch on my W540.
/EDIT: I just remembered that I also disabled the integrated card reader in the BIOS.

Problems with installing arch-0.7. (solved)

*GOSH* Me is so dumb sometimes... My testing computer, is not PII. It is only pentium. No wonder it aint working. My mistake, sorry.
Hello all !
I have a problem with installing arch-0.7.
When i am booting from CD, it starts to load kernel and so on, but it always restarts.
I have tryed starting it up with arch -noscsi, but it doesnt change anything. It restarts anyway. I get no error messages what so ever, it just restarts.
If there is anyone, who could help me out, give me a hint or something, i would really appreciate it. I am new to linux, and while browsing different distros, i found this one. And, it seems really good, so i decided to try it out, to see if it "does my work".
Thanks in advance.
Disc-Devil

Tnx !
I've found the pre.07-i586.iso... So, now i could try this out.
http://archlinux.veloxis.de/i586/iso/ar … e-i586.iso
If i understood, things right, i can still use sources? Even though, not every app is in the repository, i am able to use sources right?
Anyway, Tnx alot again, for giving me the gr8 tips.

Installing Elements 11 on Mac. Need help with install error "Setup wants to make changes."

Installing Elements 11 on Mac 10.8.2. Need help with install error: Setup wants to make changes. Type your password to allow this." After entering Adobe password, nothing happens. Locked from further installation. Any ideas? Adobe phone support could not help.

Just before letting changes (installation in this case) be made on the system, Mac OS prompts for password & this has to be the Mac system password. This password prompt is the system's own native prompt & would accept the system password only. Please make sure it is the right system password (all/admin rights) and the installaion should run.

Help with installing 10.6.3

Hello, I'm looking for a bit of help with installing Mac OS X 10.6.3 without screwing up.
I currently have a Macbook with 10.6.3 on it, and I want to COMPLETELY reset my Mac. I want to have a pretty much brand new Mac with 10.6.3, which I have the disk for. I actually just updated from 10.5.8, hoping that it would erase my hard drive and re-install, but it didn't. So I would like help with how to completely reset my Mac, and re-install 10.6.3.
Thanks in advance!
~Dan

Use that disk, but after booting from it and before running the install, choose Disk Utility from the Utilities menu and erase the drive.

RedMoose:
Congratulations on installing an upgraded HDD into your PowerBook.
I am not sure exactly what happened in the formatting process, but here are some directions that should help:
Formatting, Partitioning Zeroing a Hard Disk Drive
Warning! This procedure will destroy all data on your Hard Disk Drive. Be sure you have an up-to-date, tested backup of at least your Users folder and any third party applications you do not want to re-install before attempting this procedure.
Boot from the install CD holding down the "C" key.
Select language
Go to the Utilities menu (Tiger) Installer menu (Panther & earlier) and launch Disk Utility.
Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in left side bar.
Select Partition tab in main panel. (You are about to create a single partition volume.)
Select number of partition in pull-down menu above Volume diagram.
(Note: 1 partition is normally better for an internal HDD. External HDDs usually have more than one. See Dr. Smoke’s FAQ Backup and Recovery for tips on partitioning external HDD.)
Type in name in Name field (usually Macintosh HD)
Select Volume Format as Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
Click Partition button at bottom of panel.
Select Erase tab
Optional: (Select the sub-volume under Manufacturer ID (usually Macintosh HD).
Check to be sure your Volume Name and Volume Format are correct.
Select on Security Options button (Tiger) Options button (Panther & earlier).
Select Zero all data. (This process will map out bad blocks on your HDD. However, it could take several hours. If you want a quicker method, don't go to Security Options and just click the Erase button.)
Click OK.
Click Erase button
Quit Disk Utility.
Open installer and begin installation process.
Please post back with further questions, comments or an update.
Good luck.

Help with installing a CHAT CLIENT/SERVER

i cant seem to get my chatclient or chatserver to successfully connect to my server. even if i do a local host 127.0.0.1 thing it STILL says that it cannot connect.
the server is a stand alone.
is there a general place to install the compiled files?
im SO frustrated right now.
im writing a card game. it is done but now i need to implement the networking. so im starting with a simple chat server and i cant even get THAT to work.
HELP.....

I'm actually working on a card game (client/server if I can) as well, when I spotted this message. Card games work for me because they're simple, they're relatively fun and easy to figure out, and they aren't real-time or heavy on animation/sprites/hardware acceleration.
http://vpoker.sourceforge.net/ is a java based card game that has some excellent examples of how to conceptualize a 'card' object and a 'deck' of cards.
good luck, can try emailing me if you want to toss around ideas about our respective card games.

Help with Installing flash error- metafile cannot be loaded

I read the forum on this but it ended last year and there was no response to some recent questions on this and the direct email to the Adobe rep. on there got no response.
I am having this problem with installing Flash- it gets about 30% of the way and then a message comes up that says the metafile cannot be loaded.
I am running 10.7.5 on Mac, all browser software is current. I use both Safari and Chrome. After it said Flash was out of date I tried to update but got the metafile error. So I uninstalled Flash to install it fresh but the same error came up. I tried everything recommended from the forum. I also did all the steps from the help list direct from Adobe ( deleting Flash files, folders, rebooting, etc.) The offline link Adobe provides says the "file cannot be found" so I can't download that either. So I tried the online link download, but even after doing all the steps in order etc. I still get the error when I try to install it.
I have no firewall and have no virus software running. I also tried the direct offline links that others have provided from 2013, (unfortunately they are old) in both clicking on them and also downloading by right click but they are dead links and even the download for it has no content.
Any help that is more recent than last year? If this is in the wrong place, apologies. New to the forum.

I tried all solutions but one posted in adobe support. I am local administrator but IE security settings are set by group policies and buttons in tools security setting are grayed out.
After three days with "The ActiveX control for Flash Player could not be registered" message I tried registering the activeX control manually.
Bingo! that made the trick.
So open a DOS window, type "regsvr32.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash\Flash10d.ocx" -first check if this directory exists and contains the Flash10d.ocx (no quotes needed) and you should receive a confirmation that it registered correctly.
I must say that I've tried so many ways that I cannot repeat the correct order before this has worked ;-(
Hope it works for you all

Hi Rory, be aware that running CS2 products on Snow Leopard isn't going to be a supported combination. Here's a related thread: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/499253.

Need help with installing Oracle11gR2 on OpenSUSE 11.2

Hi,
I could use some advice on installing Oracle11gR2 on OpenSUSE 11.2. I have a slightly older 32 bit PC which I was able to successfully install OpenSUSE 11.2 and DB2 9.7. (Yes, I work with more than one database vendor :-) ) When I tried to install Oracle, the installation program tells me I'm missing some libraries which I can not seem to find anywhere using any of the YAST tools:
libaio-0.3.105 (have 3.104 installed)
libaio-devel-0.3.105 (have 3.104 installed)
elfutils-libelf-0.97 (have 0.142 installed)

libstdc++-3.4.6 (have 3.3 and 4.4 installed)
compat-libstdc++-33-3.2.3 (can't find this)
Anyone have any ideas where I went wrong?
Thanks.

I read the UEFI wiki.
I think I understood where my problem is...
In order to create the "EFI System Partition" my whole data in the hard disk(which has windows in it) will be lost. I can't afford that because I only have rescue disks with me. I don't have an OS installation media since the OS installed on my thinkpad is OEM. If Lenovo were providing me the installation media for the OS, then I would simply go ahead and create GPT partitioned disks. Then first install Windows in it and then Arch. But now I am in a dilemma.....
I need suggestions on this please.....
You require an unmodified Windows 7 ISO. This is not hard to obtain, and using such a ISO is legal as long as you use a valid product key to activate Windows. Now there are 3 cases:
1. Convert BIOS-MBR install of Windows 7 to UEFI-GPT, without data-loss. It is a slightly lengthy process https://gitorious.org/tianocore_uefi_du … OS_to_UEFI (actually simple once you understand it, I know because I wrote it). But you need to have a unmodified Windows 7 ISO setup to boot in a UEFI bootable USB to do it. You can reuse the existing SYSTEM_DRV partition after formatting it as FAT32 with gdisk type code EF00. Make sure to backup the current contents of that partition though.
2. If you don't mind re-installing Windows, backup Windows activation data using http://directedge.us/content/abr-activa … nd-restore, format and partition your disk as GPT, re-install Windows and then Arch.
3. Install Arch in current BIOS-MBR setup, without touching the existing windows install.
EDIT: The limiting factor in your case is Windows, but I do not think it is a good idea to discuss Windows specific info (especially if you want to try case 1) here (in Arch forum) as that has nothing to with Linux or Arch.

Need help with installing old version of firmware

I would like to revert to an old version of firmware for my Airport Extreme base station. I have read in a number of postings that this would possibly help with the problem of my Canon Pixma ip3000 not working after the firmware was usdated. When I tried to install the old firmware, the Installer would not allow it, there was just a message that the software was up to date. Could anyone please give a step by step description of how this can be done? Is there a way around the Installer? Thanks.

The firmware supplied with the base station was 4.1. After installing it, everything worked just fine, including wireless printing to a Canon Pixma ip3000. At one point, after being prompted by a message onscreen to upgrade to 4.2, I did the download and installation, and that is when all the problems started. No wireless printing, and I can't seem to use the Airport Admin or Assistant (not responding). Since then I have also upgraded the OS to 10.4.5.
I am trying to downgrade to 4.1 since that is what worked initially and what was suggested in another posting I read.
I did look at the information for the various parts of Airport and noticed that the Setup Asistant is 4.2, the Admin Utility is 4.2 and the base station is 5.5.1. Could this be affecting the problem as well?
I will try downgrading using the link you provided. Thanks very much.

Shane, I have all 8 FCP disks saved as a dmg file. I am currently storing these in a share on our NEW Apple XSERVE. I have tried mounting all of the 8 dmg files to the desktop of the iMac, that I'm wanting to install on. But this takes an unusally long time, I cancelled it after a couple days of it trying to mount the images to the desktop.
I'm very green to using Apples, just something that has been dropped in my lap.
Is there a way that I can mount these images in the folder on the Xserve? of is using a portable HDD the only way to do it.
