Installing Mandrake Linux on Neo2+SATA HD

HI! I'm an absolute newbie in the linux world. But as I had built a new computer I wanted to give Linux a try.
So insert the DVD distro, re-start the computer and instalation start:
language selection,
license agreement...
and then it shows a message saying (translated from spanish):
"Wait a moment.
Installing controller to the card disk/ide|scsi|hardware_raid|firewire
nVidia Corp."
I waited a couple of minutes and nothing else happen... I had a MSI K8N Neo2 PLatinum with a Seagate 160gb SATA, 1 Gb. memory and a A64 winchester 3200, and Audigy 2 ZS, running as the best in Win XP....
Is there some BIOS patch or a work-around to make this run??

I had issues recently installing Linux on a brand new server becuase it didn't recognise the SATA disks. Fortunately, I had the luxury of using another machine but the way round the problem is to find the Linux drivers for your disk-types.
Hopefully the manufacturer will have created some!
cheers,
R

Sun Java System Application Server 7 installer explicitly checks for supported Linux kernel versions (2.4 and 2.5) and will not let you proceed with installation if different kernel version is detected. Since Mandrake Linux 10 is running 2.6 kernel, you will not be able to install this version of application server on this system.

Problem installing weblogic server 7.0 in Mandrake Linux 10.1

hi
i am very new to Mandrake Linux ..i have installed Mandrake Linux 10.1 in my machine ...the problem is that when i try i to install weblogic server 7.0 it gives some error
** Error during execution, error code = 11
my machine spec
* 512MB RAM
* 40GB HDD
* P4 2.8GHZ
can any one help me..
the weblogic server i downloaded from bea site its version is weblogic server 7.0 with jrockit (sp6)
regards
babu

Hi,
first of all, unfortunately, WebLogic Server is not supported under Mandrivia (use the right name ;-) ), so you should use Novell Suse or Redhat AS, check this list
Anyway, error code 11 should be related to permission issues, so you should check that the user you are using is allowed to write under the installation directory and under /var/log/
Could you kindly post the log messages?
Regards.

Redhat Linux ES w/SATA HDD install problem

I'm trying to install Redhat Linux ES
on a AMD64 K8N Neo2 mainboard based on
the NVIDIA nForce 3 Ultra Chipset.
I'm using 2 SATA Seagate HardDrives with
or without RAID.
It won't install because
Redhat's OS installation scripts states that it doesn't detect
any Harddrives, even though BIOS sees them.
It prompts me to install a HDD Driver.
I can't seem to find one for this system.
Is Redhat installation with SATA drives possible?
Thanks
Jay

I don't think there are driver for linux yet.

Install fails for Creator on Mandrake Linux with AMD64

I tried to install the new version of Creator update 1 on my Mandrake Linux 64 bit version and it fails to find my JVM.
I'm able test my JVM by checking the version but it still fails.
I tried the -is:javahome option ---- no difference.
Tried installing the 32 bit version of JVM 1.5 update 7 does not make a difference with is option.
The installation of pervious version of 2004 creator works fine.
Any clue as to what might be the issue.
Any assitance on this matter will be greatly appreciated.

Can you post the install.log file under your installation directory? Also take a look at this page:

Oracle Install on Mandrake Linux 9.1 (Dell Laptop 600)

I have a full install of Oracle 10G running on a Dell Laptop using Mandrake Linux 9.1:
First I did an install of the OS, I built the swap file to be 2GIGs, the /oracle partition as 5GIGS and the /home partition as 25GIGS.
I made sure to choose the Development packages and the Office packages, I did not choose any of the WEB and other stuff.
As root, edit the file /etc/sysctl.conf. Add the following lines to the end of the file:
kernel.shmall = 2097152
kernel.shmmax = 2147483648
kernel.shmmni = 4096
kernel.sem = 250 32000 100 128
fs.file-max = 65536
net.ipv4.ip_local_port_range = 1024 65000
As root, issue the following commands at a terminal:
groupadd oinstall
groupadd dba
useradd g oinstall G dba oracle
passwd oracle <supply new password>
You then need to set up the new users environment variables. Edit the file /home/oracle/.bashrc and add the following between the # User specific aliases and functions and the # Source global definitions lines. In Mandrake Linux all I did was edit the /etc/profile file and add the below at the end. This way all users get the added. Works like a charm.
ORACLE_SID=lx10g
ORACLE_BASE=/oracle
ORACLE_HOME=/oracle/10g
PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/bin:$PATH:.
export ORACLE_SID ORACLE_BASE ORACLE_HOME PATH
You can choose what you like for the ORACLE_SID: it represents what you will eventually call your database.
Make install directories, In my case, for example, I did this:
mkdir /oracle
mkdir /oracle/10g
chown -R oracle:oinstall /oracle
First when you try to run the Universal Installer do the following:
./runInstaller -ignoreSysPrereqs (this gets you by the error on the OS)
Then just follow the normal screens and at the end you should have a complete system. There is a bug in the installer and you will need to re-run the ./runInstaller and selct just the ISQLPlus* and it will then only re-install this package. It seems it misses it during the initial install. I also suggest downloading the Compaign CD and installing the APACHE and HTMDB using the same as above when running the ./runInstaller as everything else is already setup.

check pre-requisites for a Linux OS here:
Installation Guide for UNIX Systems: AIX-Based Systems, Compaq Tru64 UNIX, HP 9000 Series HP-UX, Linux Intel and Sun Solaris Contents / Search / Index / PDF
http://otn.oracle.com/pls/db92/db92.docindex?remark=homepage
Remember that the OS has to be certified to install
Oracle sucessfully.

Problem Installing oracle 9iAS in Mandrake Linux 8.1

1.When iam trying to install Oracle 9iAS in Mandrake linux 8.1 iam getting the
below error. Pls help me out.

2.Does Orale 9iAS have Orace Database Server

I don't really understand why you are using almost 6 years old distribution (release date 2002/09/30).
What's the sense? Time has changed and of course SW included in this distro has changed (significantly) and especially glibc.
10g R1 is certified for RH EL 2.1. When I compare version of packages (RH 8 vs RHEL 2.1) it could be possible (easily) to install on RH 8. For 10g R2 you need defintely upgrade at least glibc* packages.

Error message with install of Oracle 9.2 on Mandrake Linux 9.0

I hope somebody can help with this. I'm getting an error message during the installation for oracle 9.2 on mandrake linux 9. An error get thrown saying the IP address of a host cannot be determined.

Anyone know how to resolve this error and whether or not it is very critical to the oracle installation?

Hi johnny,
You should first check the hosts file to see if the correct hostname and the IP address are shown. You can also check if the "hostname" command returns the correct result. If everything looks good so far, then next check if command "nslookup" returns the correct IP address. If the nslookup <hostname> command returns error, you will need to talk to the Domain Name Server (DNS) administrator to correct this network configuration problem.

Mandrake Linux 8.0 - can't get Oracle Universal Installer to run

Hi all.
I'm having trouble getting Oracle's Universal Installer to run.
I'm trying to become DBA certified, so I went and purchased
(among
other materials) a book titled "Oracle8i for LINUX Starter Kit",
authored by Steve Bobrowski, published by Oracle Press / Osborne
McGraw-Hill, ISBN 0-07-212442-3.
The book includes a CD-ROM with Oracle8i Enterprise Edition,
Release 2, version 8.1.6 for LINUX.
I'm running an Intel P-III 500 MHz with 512MB RAM, 30GB hard disk
exclusively configured for Linux (no other O/S on it) and Oracle
(so LOTS of hard disk space is available), Matrox Millennium G400
video card (32MB).
My hardware exceeds all requirements listed in aforementioned
book, and also in Oracle's own documentation (from their web
site).
I'm running Mandrake's Linux 8.0, PowerPack Edition, with:
kernel = 2.4.3
XFree 4.0.3 (and I've also tried 3.3.6, with identical results
to those listed below)
glibc 2.2.2
I've followed the book's instructions to the letter, and set up
the environment variables, oracle user, and subdirectories as
required.
So far, so good.
OK. Now, here's where the problem appears:
I log in as the oracle user, and try to start the Oracle
Universal Installer (following the instructions in the book)
as follows:
cd /mnt/cdrom
./runInstaller
The computer tries to do some stuff, then spews the information
listed at the bottom of this posting to the screen. I press
<ENTER> after "OK" and get dumped back to the bash prompt.
That's it. I can't go any further. No Oracle Universal
Installer.
By the way, I've also downloaded Oracle8i Enterprise Edition
Release 3, version 8.1.7 from Oracle's website, and tried to
install that, too. Exactly same results.
The nice folks at Oracle have politely told me to get lost,
and not bug them for unpaid support.
I'd really like to get this stuff up and running, so I can
start studying and practicing for DBA, but I need help 'cause
this problem is beyond me.
So... can anyone help??
Thanks in advance.

I have Mandrake 8.0 on PII-600, 256 RAM. I used the downloaded
8.1.7. Edit JRE_LOCATION in Disk1/install/oraparam.ini to point
to your version of JRE 1.1.8 v3 (JRE from
http://www.backdown.org). Then try with NUMLOCK=OFF.
I just clicked the 'typical' installation. It failed at the end
and did not install the database manager. The error message was:

Oracle8i Release 2 (8.1.6) on Mandrake Linux 7.1

I am trying to install Oracle8i R2 on Linux Mandrake. I've got the Oracle8i EE CD. I have followed the pre-installation steps of creating the groups, user and updating the .bash_profile file for "oracle" user with all the env. variables. After, I execute runInstaller from the CD, I get the Universal Installer Welcome screen. Mouse clicks on About Oracle and Remove Installed products work fine and show message/dialog boxes. But Mouse clicks on the Help, Exit, Installed Products AND "NEXT" button have no effect. The screen remain their without taking to the next step of installation !!!
I have to exit the Universal installer using the Closing icon on the Window (top right corner).
Also, I tried "ps -ef" on the prompt after execting runInstaller. It shows around 8-10 process running under installer. Is there any known bug/issue for installter working on Mandrake linux ?
Any help/comments/assistance....?
Thanks and advance.

Hi Lloyd,
I have a HP Pavilion/733MHz/128MRAM Box with Mandrake 7.1 and Win98 dual boot setup.
you mentioned that u were able to install Mandrake and Oracle on a Compaq box. Did you try re-installing Linux and Oracle on the HP box. I havent received any reply. I will try some Linux forum to raise this question.
Do let me know if you come across any solution/workaround...
Best Regards,

Sun One / Win ME / Mandrake Linux

Okay, this is driving me nuts. I am running Windows ME on one partition on my box. I used to have forte installed a while ago, btu for some reason I got rid of it. Now I am doing something that I would like to use it as a resource for and I come to find out it is Sun One now. SO I dl it and I go to install and teh installer freezes while looking for J2SDK. So I uninstalled J2SDK and dl the most recent version and reinstalled it. Still does the same thing.
So here is my question: realizing that Sun one is not particularly supported on ME, is that what is causing the install to freeze? If not, do you know what the problem might be? And if Forte installed, why oh why wouldn't Sun One.
If ME is the problem, I have Mandrake Linux on another partition (Yeah, I'd love Red Hat, but it was free and I am broke, so it seemed like a good idea) and it seems that only Red hat is supported. Should I bother downloading and trying to install on Mandrake (I use KDE btw)?

Hi,
I'm running on Mandrake 9.0 without any problems.
There is one anoying issue and thet is that the icons deliverd is in .ico format and I can't figure out how to use them on KDE 3.0

Dbassist on Mandrake Linux 7

I have installed 8i (using the Macmillan distribution) on Mandrake Linux 7 (based on Red Hat 6.1?).
When running dbassist to create the database,
as expected I get the JNLS error. However when I ignore it (by clicking OK), rather than it continuing, it then fails with a Null Pointer exception. I have tried both 1.1.6_v5 and 1.1.8_v1 releases of the JRE. Has anyone got a workaround for this?

You do not have to use dbassist. See Section 3.7 of my help pages:

K7T TURBO2 (mandrake linux)

OK running the K7T TURBO2 mobo in my system with a 800 MHZ Duron.I downloaded Mandrake Linux 9.1 and looking to install it.My question is.Does anyone know if this version of mandrake will have the drivers for this board and say for the sound or are they out there for me to download.Linux newbie here so want to make sure when i install I do it right the first time.Thank You

Hi,
I think that it should be no problem to run Linux with a Turbo2. I think I would wait a few weeks until 9.2 is freely available, btw
You will probably find more information at:

Hope this helps,

BIOS 1.7 Boot issue Mandrake linux yes - Windows XP no

I flashed my bois to 1.7 last night. I redid the CMOS settings and my PC boots fine. It then goes first to lilo (with windows as the default boot) and then onto windows XP boot (which has 3 options effectively all the same, just different names - dont ask ).
If I select Linux rather then Windows at the Lilo prompt the PC boots into Mandrake Linux 32bit version 10 fine. If however I select windows, then all I get after the XP OS selection screen is a blank screen.
If I try to boot from my Windows XP CDRom, it gets as far a checking system configuration and then hangs.
Fashrecovery also seems to hang.
As far as I recall the bios falsh complete successfully using liveupdate.
Anyone any suggestions on how to resurrect XP.

Hello!
I do have exactly the same usb keyboard issue on my K8T Neo (BIOS 1.7), AND on the KT6V (BIOS 1.6) of my second system, and I also had to disable the usb legacy support stuff in order to make XP boot up again.
But ...
During POST the keyboard and mouse gets initialized and I'm able to trigger CMOS Setup as well as the Boot Menu or any other option available. If I press "F8" to call XP's boot menu it even works. The keyboard and mouse also works when I boot from the Ghost 2003 CD (IBM DOS).
I know this sounds a bit weird since legacy support is disabled, but it simply works as expected.
One thing I haven't tried out is if it still works with the flash recovery routine (CTRL+Home); but I think it won't.
Although I really like MSI's products (at least I own two MSI mainboards and two MSI FX graphic cards) it's a bit of shame that they doesn't resolve the countless little BIOS "bugs" - like the "NumLock" Problem with Linux - to the customers full satisfaction. :-(
