Linux not installing on my SATA HD on IDE channel 2

Hi.
I need some help ´cause i´m not able to install linux.
My PC is Core2Duo - MB Gigabyte VM900M with VIA chisets
HD 320gb in IDE channel 2 and 02mb Ram
Error is something like: "not find any drivers to installing a Linux files"
Seems the instalation don´t reconise my HD.
Regards.
Marcos
PS.: sorry my bad english

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

Virtualbox ORACLE Linux not installing

Not sure what the issue is. I have Virtual box - upgraded to today's version
I got a copy of Oracle linux (6) at a seminar today. The goal is to install Oracle Linux on the Virtual box to test it.
During the install the keyboard commands (options?) flash by too fast to read.
Installation says the kernel is not right "This kernel requires x8-64 CPU, but only detected an i686CPU."
Well it is a 64 bit CPU.
I tried it on a 32 bit CPU box and got the same result.
alas. is this a bust?

Here's some additional information that seems relevant to your problem: http://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/2061
You could also check your VBox.log file, which contains, among a lot of other things, detailed information about the host CPU type and supported features.
I suggest to check if there is a BIOS update available for your computer, or try to use a 32-bit Oracle Linux distribution, which you can download for free from https://edelivery.oracle.com/linux
Regarding your hardware upgrade question, check the following: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X86_virtualization
+As of 2009[update] not all Intel processors supported VT-x, which Intel uses to segment its market.[20] Support for VT-x may even vary between different versions (as identified by Intel's sSpec Number) of the same model number.[21] [22] For a complete and up-to-date list see the Intel website.[23] Even in May, 2011, the Intel CPU P6100 which is in laptops does not support hardware virtualization [1].+

Livetype will not install after erasing and re-installing Tiger

Hello,
I recently had to install a new hard drive, of which I partitioned, erased and installed OS X Tiger onto my PowerBook G4 15" (1.67/1.5 GHZ).
After all that, I tried re-installing FCP (5). The FCP part worked, but Livetype refused to be installed. So I searched for updates, and found an OSX Dual update, FCP update, and Livetype update, all of which were updated successfully. But Livetype will still not install for some reason.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Shawn

Sorry, should have been more articulate in my description.
During the installation of Livetype, after choosing the destination for livetype to be _Application support_ and starting the installation, the program goes up to 20% during the writing files procedure... and stops.
Says Please try install again.

At which point the ZSM is stopped as are all of the ZDM services. I also don't have a /usr/tmp/ZSM71_POLYDIST directory(Shaun, not sure why you named it this).
So, it looks like it steps through until step 5... which I think is where it is copying the files to the directories, but it seems to stop there.
Can anyone assist on this? Or would it be possible to get the SPK with the additional files?
Thanks
Stuart Beckett

Stuart,
the SPK is Novell copyright, so I don't think I can share it with you,
and it includes a heck of a lot of my work on scripting the process
(not the install itself, just the pre-requisites and determining what
version you have :) )
For Linux you can get the files by downloading the standard update - I
take these files, perform any pre-requisite checks, then run the rpm
commands as shown in the readme for the ZDML files. The reason for the
strange directory is that I inherited the original version of this some
years ago from the guy who wrote the install CPKs for ZDM7SP1, and I've
been updating ever since. The variable linux_temp_dir is used in the
SPK to determine where the files go - maybe you don't have the
permissions set, but I'm not sure what the issue is...
If you open a SR, it will only come to me, since I'm the only person
who works on this :)

[SOLVED] bundle from ruby package can not install gems

I was trying to run this command, as developing an omega sub-theme for Drupal requires this. This command will read GemFile and install all GEM dependencies.

The error message says: You have to install development tools first. however it was installed:
sudo pacman --needed -S base-devel
What was the problem? What's the solution then?
Well, I had previously enabled multilib in pacman.com which resulted in gcc-multilib and gcc-libs-multilib being installed however these multilib packages does NOT work, gcc and gcc-libs needs to be installed instead. I do not know what is the proper solution for having these multilib packages and compiling ruby gems? (maybe adding multilib back to pacman.conf!) but it finally worked for me.
I would create a wiki article but I don't know if it deserve's one + I'm not very good english writer + not sure if the solution is 100% right. probably this should be added to ruby page: in order to compile ruby gems you have to install gcc and gcc-libs instead of gcc-multilib and gcc-libs-multilib since multilib packages wont work because of...?

Don't have the 7100 board , but some of theese issues are common .
Enter BIOS in the following submenus :
Advanced BIOS Features:
-HD-Boot order - Make sure your SATA drive where you install OS is first in the list .
(always check this one when altering HD's and connections of drives/usb-drives/card readers etc)
Set normal boot order
1'st boot device : CDROM
2'nd boot device :Harddisk
3'rd boot device : Harddisk (just to have something there)
or if having floppy
1'st boot device : Floppy
2'nd boot device : CDROM
3'rd boot device : Harddisk
Boot other device : disabled
Disconnect all USB cables coming from case or multicard dreader device etc. terminated on the motherboards JUSB1/JUSB2 .. headers .
Enter Advanced Chipset features
Integrated pheripherals
Ide function setup ->
Onchip IDE channel 0 : Disabled
Onchip IDE channel 1 : Disabled
SATA 1/2 : Enabled
SATA 3/4 : Enabled
Onboard device->
OnBoard Sil3132 RAID : disabled
OnBoard Sil3132 Mode :SATA
Also recommend setting
USB KB/Storage Support : Disabled
(and connect the keyboard to PS2 via the delivered USB/PS2 adapter )
Boot once , and enter bios again to verify the HDbootorder
BTW: Having only 2.5GB for is not gonna cut it as OS partition is not enough as pagefile written under install is 1.5 times installed memory
and the install will halt .
Windows updates and other stuff as mail storage , my documents , user prifiles and registry hives need space and grow some over time .
Primary OS partition workes best having altleast a minimum 20% free space all the time for housekeeping tasks lige changing layout ini , prefetch data
defragmenting etc.
Don't use anything less than 15GB to have peace of mind . ( I usually make it 30GB or more to avoid having lack of space later on , as that is a bitch )

Can not install leopard on a new hard drive

My hard drive on MACBook Pro crashed, swap it with the same SATA 2.5" 160GB hard drive from my PC.
Booted with the leopard DVD holding the option (Alt) key, I get two choices to boot from "Windows" hard drive ==even thou it is not Windows, it originally has Linux Ubuntu installed on it== and the other choice "Mac OS X Install DVD" I select to install the Mac OS, assuming I will be able to access the Disk utility and format the new HD, the DVD start spinning Apple Logo appear for two minutes, then it switch to a blue screen where it hang forever, and the DVD stop spinning.
Any idea how to install leopard on the new HD

Just get a new hard drive and if you have a Intel Mac, OS X 10.6 disk, it's much better than 10.5, faster too.

Step 1: Start Arch via boot disc.
Step 2: Connect to internet.
Step 3: Mount partitions.
# swapon dev/sdX
# mount /dev/sdX /mnt
# mount /dev/sdX /mnt/home
# mount /dev/sdX /mnt/boot
Step 4: Chroot
# arch-chroot /mnt
Step 5: Remake grub.conf
# grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
Another Notable Tip by: jynnantonix
If you need to post information from terminal to the internet, use the following:
[insert command here] | curl -F 'sprunge=<-' http://sprunge.us

I am trying to use and education program that needs Java applets and it will not run on Safari. IE will not install from the web. How do I get a browser that will work to install so I can use this program when I travel.

Try using FireFox. IE will only run on a Mac if you run Windows on the Mac.
Windows on Intel Macs
There are presently several alternatives for running Windows on Intel Macs.
Install the Apple Boot Camp software. Purchase Windows 7 or Windows 8. Follow instructions in the Boot Camp documentation on installation of Boot Camp, creating Driver CD, and installing Windows. Boot Camp enables you to boot the computer into OS X or Windows.
Parallels Desktop for Mac and Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7. Parallels is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
VM Fusion and Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7. VM Fusion is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
CrossOver which enables running many Windows applications without having to install Windows. The Windows applications can run concurrently with OS X.
VirtualBox is a new Open Source freeware virtual machine such as VM Fusion and Parallels that was developed by Solaris. It is not as fully developed for the Mac as Parallels and VM Fusion.
Note that Parallels and VM Fusion can also run other operating systems such as Linux, Unix, OS/2, Solaris, etc. There are performance differences between dual-boot systems and virtualization. The latter tend to be a little slower (not much) and do not provide the video performance of the dual-boot system. See MacTech.com's Virtualization Benchmarking for comparisons of Boot Camp, Parallels, and VM Fusion. A more recent comparison of Parallels, VM Fusion, and Virtual Box is found at Virtualization Benchmarks- Parallels 10 vs. Fusion 7 vs. VirtualBox. Boot Camp is only available with Leopard and later. Except for Crossover and a couple of similar alternatives like DarWine you must have a valid installer disc for Windows.
You must also have an internal optical drive for installing Windows. Windows cannot be installed from an external optical drive.

Every time I launch Firefox it pops up an error stating "Firefox could not install this item because "install.rdf" (provided by the item) is not well-formed or does not exist. Please contact the author about this problem."

Firefox could not install this item because "install.rdf" (provided by the item) is not well-formed or does not exist. Please contact the author about this problem.
The statement above is in the pop up error box every time, when I launch Firefox. If I click ok in the box Firefox then opens. How do I fix this initializing/launch problem?

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).<br />
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.<br />
You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.<br />
You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")<br />

Windows 8.1 will not install WSUS Updates

Hi, I have an issue with Windows 8.1 clients using WSUS.
I have had a GPO set up to apply to All my computers in my domain, majority of them are Win 7 and WSUS is working perfectly, updates are downloaded and installed automatically and when user shut down, they have the install updates and shutdown option.
Settings in the GPO are: auto download and schedule the install everyday at 10am from a local WSUS server.
These settings as stated are working perfectly fine on Win 7 clients and updates are installed with no user intervention.
However, with the Windows 8.1 clients, the updates are downloaded to the machines from the WSUS server but they are not installed on the computer. There is no option to update and restart or update and shutdown they just sit in Control Panel\Windows Update
until someone manually goes in and clicks install updates.
I have installed the required updates onto my WSUS server for Win 8.1
I have ensured the GPO is applying to the machine which it is, i have also tried settings the 'Install during automatic maintenance' option in the same policy and configuring all options under maintenance scheduler and still nothing.
I can see that the settings are applying to machines via RSOP and the settings are set and unchangeable in teh relevant areas of Windows.
Automatic Maintenance runs and the time and date stamp for last run time changes but the updates are not installed as part of this and they are still sat in Windows Updates with the 'Install Updates' button. UNLESS i MANUALLY run the Maintenance process
from Action Center
Obviously i don't want my OS update plan dependent on users having to manually navigate to install updates and all this works fine on Win 7 clients.
Any advice?

Is this related?

Z68 WIN 7 will not boot after setting drive BIOS from IDE to SATA

MSI Z68MA-ED55 (B3) Motherboard
Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit OS
SATA III Solid State Drive with greater than 500 MB/s throughput
After installing WIN7 and all my Applications programs I noticed in the BIOS that the driver for the SSD did not properly set to fully support the SSD but remained in the IDE mode.
This computer was built for technical graphics work and not for child's play. So I don't want to have to reinstall all the applications software for work with all its required protection features from theft.
QUESTIONS:
1. With this high transfer rate SSD, is it worth the performance improvement to reset the BIOS from the IDE driver to the proper driver?
2. If so, how can I set the BIOS to the correct driver without reinstalling everything?
3. At some level of the installation the system should have sensed the SSD SATA III and changed the driver from IDE. Where should this take place?

Hi,
I had the same problem. You need to put it back to IDE, boot to Windows then follow the below instructions and it works fine. (Courtesy of Guru3D)
Enable AHCI
The last tip we want to give you to gain a little extra performance boost is that you enable AHCI mode. AHCI mode can help out greatly in performance for SSDs. Now, if you swap out an HDD for an SSD with the operating system cloned and THEN enable AHCI in the BIOS, then you'll likely get a boot error / BSOD.
The common question is, is there a solution for this ?
To answer that question (and as we do safely with all modern chipsets) there is a way to safely enable AHCI mode. Here we go:
1. Startup "Regedit"
2. Open HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE / SYSTEM / CurrentControlset / Services
3. Open msahci
4. In the right field left click on "start" and go to Modify
5. In the value Data field enter "0" and click "ok"
6. exit "Regedit"
7. Reboot Rig and enter BIOS (typically hold "Delete" key while Booting)
In your BIOS select "Integrated Peripherals" and OnChip PATA/SATA Devices. Now change SATA Mode from IDE to AHCI.
You now boot into windows 7 or Vista, and the OS will recognize AHCI and install the devices. Now the system needs one more reboot and voilla ... enjoy the improved SSD performance.
