Question about Portege 2000 boot with Linux

Hi everyone,
My Portege 2000 PIII 750MHz, 512 RAM, 20GB is simply driving me mad. I would like to try to install Linux, and have downloaded some distros to try it. The point is I am using an external CD/DVD reader, with a 16 bit pc card connector cable. Booting starts until the BIOS is involved, but when it gets to OS drivers being involved, booting hangs up, with every distro, except of course win XP, with which it installs perfectly fine.
Anybody got any suggestions on how to proceed? I really would like something lighter than WXP on my machine. Thx!

Hi
I do not have this Portege but I know that Toshiba recovery image (WXP) contains driver for external ODD and the installation can be done without any problem.

Question about SSD for T61 with Linux.

Hi, I am considering purchasing a T61 with SUSE linux installed. I had a question regarding the customization process for this laptop. The option for adding the 64GB SSD for this laptop is not available when configuring the custom options, but it is available when customizing the Windows version. Will Lenovo give me the option of having the SSD with the Linux configuration?
Thanks for any help in advance.

T400s Linux/Windows dual boot with Linux from Esata Flash Drive

This project is about a dual boot Windows/Linux system without using the normal dual boot changes in the bootloader of the windows hard drive. When I started this I found bits and pieces of information on the web but no complete description so I wrote this post.
I have done a dual boot system on my previous Thinkpad where I had partitioned the hard drive between Linux and windows. For this project I wanted to leave the windows hard drive absolutely intact and unaltered, and boot Linux from a flash drive in the esata port on the back of the T400s. Obviously this uses the F12 boot list function key to boot from the flash. The advantage of this is that Windows is totally unaltered and when I need Linux, I plug in the esata flash drive, hit F12 during the boot cycle and select booting from the esata flash drive. The reason for Esata rather than USB is simply speed. I have a nice fast Linux installation.
I used the OCZ esata flash drive but suspect any of the alternatives will work. It did not need the accessory usb cable because the Thinkpad powered the esata flash directly.
To boot from the esata drive I had to make the following changes in the bios
    I left the esata flash plugged in as I went into the bios
    Bios>config>Serial ATA and changed the Sata controller mode option to compatibility
    Restart and back into the Bios
    Bios>startup>boot - in my case the esata flash drive showed up as ATA HDD2 and was excluded from the boot order so I had to un-exclude it and move it to the point in the boot order that I wanted.
Next I downloaded a linux installation iso and put it on a CD - in my case opensuse. Then booted from the CD
From now on this instructions are specific to opensuse and yast but can be generalized to whatever Linux is being used.
In my case yast came up with a good set of suggestions for automatically partitioning the flash drive but then crashed during the partitioning itself. So I rebooted and specified the partitions manually.
    A fat32 partition left as a partition which both windows and Linux could see (in my case about 20% of the drive) (/dev/sdb1)
    An extended partition with the remainder of the drive (/dev/sdb2) which contains the following logical partitions
    A linux Swap partition of 2GB (/dev/sdb5)
    A linux /home partition –the remainder of the drive (/dev/sdb6)
    A linux /root partition of 8GB (/dev/sdb7)
Yast automatically suggested mount points of C,D,E for the windows partitions. Unfortunately because of the way the Thinkpad hard drive was laid out Yast had C assigned the ThinkPad Service partition and D assigned to the SW_Preload (or main windows partition). However there was an edit function that allows for the reversal of those mount points so that the windows C drive is mounted in Linux as Windows/C thereby avoiding confusion. I had already backed up and removed the Thinkpad factory install data so I did not have to deal with that. Yast suggested Windows/E for the mount point of the FAT32 partition on the flash drive, which I accepted.
The yast install configurator made all this manual selection easy, and after the manual configuration the partitioning worked perfectly.
Next step was Linux user configuration which went fine
Next was booting.
In the section management tab
    delete the windows 1 and 2 options (since we are not dual booting directly)
In the boot loader installation tab
    uncheck boot from mbr ( this stops the install from installing Grub and dual boot on the windows c drive
    check boot from root partition (this installs grub and all associated files in the Linux root partition (/dev/sdb6)
I believe that the correct procedure at this point is to click Boot Loader installation details which will bring up the Grub device map. In the device map there will be a line for the fixed hard drive (aka the windows drive) and a line for the esata flash drive. When the installer started up these were in hard drive and esata drive order. However when we boot directly from the flash the esata drive will be grub drive hd0 and the fixed hard drive will be grub hd1. The device map order needs to be changed to reflect this ie the esata drive should be first not second.
I did not do this and ended up initially doing Grub command line editing to boot and later manually editing the grub files using information I had previously learned the hard way and through google.
At this point let the installer go ahead and install Linux. After doing this it should come back and tell you to reboot. Do not do it yet because we need to install the MBR into the flash drive.
I suspect that there is a way of doing this in Yast running from the Live CD but it was not obvious to me so I used the manual method that I have used before.
Open a root terminal
Mount /dev/sdb6 to /mnt/sdb6 (my linux root)
Touch /mnt/sdb6/boot/grub/flag
The purpose of this is when we go looking later at the grub command prompt we need an easy to find unique file
Start grub and do the following
#grub
            grub> find /boot/grub/flag
                (hd1,5)    -- the result of the find in my example
            grub> root (hd1,5)   -- using the result of the find in my example
            grub> setup (hd1)   -- install mbr -- my example parameters - if you get this wrong you will trash some other drive!!!
                  hopefully grub announces success
            grub> quit
Reboot and select the flash drive. In my case I still had the grub devicemap wrong and had to edit the grub commands during boot to tell grub how to find the correct partition and then edit them again after booting
Typical linux install issues that we all always seem to have and can be solved with a little (or a lot of) google research.
As I said at the beginning I now have an untouched windows installation and a nice fast Linux installation. I hope that this will be of some use to someone.

Hi chrissh
i tried this exact procedure... on the exact same notebook (T400s). However, as soon as I set the
   Bios>config>Serial ATA to "compatibility", I cannot use my default Windows installation! I immediately get the "blue screen of death".
I doubt I did anything differently since this is the first step of your procedure and my laptop is brand new!
any idea?

Hi I have a question about shooting in Raw with my Canon EOS 6d.
I'm in the process of learning photography and my goal was to start shooting in raw.
I have Photoshop CS5. When I tried to edit my images in raw I received an error message stating, "The photoshop camera raw plug-in did not recognize the format. If these files are from a camera, you may need to update your camera raw plug in."
In researching the issue I read that to edit in raw you need a camera model requirement of at least 7.3 which only works with CS6. My version of CS5 is 6.0.0.205. Being new to all this I see that my options are to upgrade to CS6 or convert by using DNG converter and paying a monthly fee. Two things I know nothing about and don't know which is would be more beneficial.
I'd appreciate any advise on which route to go and how upgrade and what it may cost. THANKS in advance!

In researching the issue I read that to edit in raw you need a camera model requirement of at least 7.3 which only works with CS6.
That is correct. Your camera was first supported by Camera Raw 7.3. Camera Raw 7.3 will not work with CS5. You need CS6 or CC.
Being new to all this I see that my options are to upgrade to CS6 or convert by using DNG converter and paying a monthly fee. Two things I know nothing about and don't know which is would be more beneficial.
I'd appreciate any advise on which route to go and how upgrade and what it may cost.
It all depends on your preferred workflow and your budget.
Using the DNG converter is free. There is no monthly fee. You use the converter to convert all Raw files from the EOS 6D to DNGs then edit the DNGs in CS5. That's an extra step every time - every photo. Some people don't like the extra step. Others don't mind.
Camera raw, DNG | Adobe Photoshop CC
Or you can upgrade to CS6 (non-Cloud) and pay the upgrade fee
Creative Suite 6
Or join the Cloud and pay the monthly fee
Or join the Photoshop Photography Program (US9.99/month) and get PS CC+LR

PXE-Boot with Linux

I have an IBM Machine (8193-75G) with Intel 10/100/1000 LAN. Is it
possible to do an PXE-Boot with Linux? Do I need a special driver?
Thanx

GE70 dual booting with linux

Has anyone installed linux as a dual booting OS on their MSI laptop? I've gone through a lot of stuff online to try and install, but the UEFI isn't recognizing anything I have as far as live booting dvd or usb. I've turned off secure boot and fast boot. I can get it to boot off the disk/usb in Legacy mode, but if I install from there it installs as MBR which can cause problems. If anyone's had success, please, let me know.
Thanks!
B

If the laptop came with Win 8 pre installed then bios is set to UEFI, a new measure made by Microsoft to ensure nobody tries to boot other system rather than windows. The only way to boot a linux is to change bios to Legacy and then try to boot, after that, to boot windows you have to change that setting again, so not very efficient really.
My advice is to reinstall windows but in Legacy mode, there is software on the internet to check your windows key and reinstall.
All in all, while you have Windows in UEFI mode forget about dual booting, reinstall windows on Legacy or just erase it and go for linux.

[SOLVED] Cannot boot with linux-3.5.3

Edit: Solved, as explained here.
Hello,
after upgrading to linux-3.5.3-1 my boot stopped at
:: running early hook [udev]
I tried upgrading to grub-bios-2.00, removing any customization I had in modprobe.conf and /etc/modules-load.d as well as removing the only module (radeon) from /etc/mkinitcpio.conf (obviously followed by mkinitcpio -p linux), which made me go on to
:: waiting for udev uevents to be processed [BUSY]
I'm not sure it's an actual progress.
My /etc/udev/rules.d is empty and /usr/lib/udev/rules.d only contains pacman-tracked stuff.
I enabled some debugging as described here but couldn't get anything useful - is there any way for such messages to be logged somewhere, so they can be pasted here?
I ended up downgrading to linux-3.4.9, which boots fine.
Any idea to troubleshoot this?

# BINARIES
# This setting includes any additional binaries a given user may

# This setting is similar to BINARIES above, however, files are added

# HOOKS
# This is the most important setting in this file. The HOOKS control the

# Order is important, and it is recommended that you do not change the

# help on a given hook.
# 'base' is _required_ unless you know precisely what you are doing.
# 'udev' is _required_ in order to automatically load modules
# 'filesystems' is _required_ unless you specify your fs modules in MODULES
# Examples:
## This setup specifies all modules in the MODULES setting above.
## No raid, lvm2, or encrypted root is needed.
# HOOKS="base"
## This setup will autodetect all modules for your system and should
## work as a sane default
# HOOKS="base udev autodetect pata scsi sata filesystems"
## This is identical to the above, except the old ide subsystem is
## used for IDE devices instead of the new pata subsystem.
# HOOKS="base udev autodetect ide scsi sata filesystems"
## This setup will generate a 'full' image which supports most systems.
## No autodetection is done.
# HOOKS="base udev pata scsi sata usb filesystems"
## This setup assembles a pata mdadm array with an encrypted root FS.
## Note: See 'mkinitcpio -H mdadm' for more information on raid devices.
# HOOKS="base udev pata mdadm encrypt filesystems"
## This setup loads an lvm2 volume group on a usb device.
# HOOKS="base udev usb lvm2 filesystems"

because the report opener said that those freezes fixed with the 'futex' patch (included in 3.14-5).
As he says:
for those who have again problems despite the patch it means probably that there are another bugs further in the source code of kernel 3.14, bugs who are not necessarily related to the "futex problem"
i will try a clean profile, thanks.

Need information about Portege 2000

Hi
I have portege 2000 it's nice and pretty notebook
I have a problem: I need serial number or parts number of hard drive caddy and hdd adaptor
anybody can help me?

Hey buddy,
unfortunately I have no partnumbers for you, but I think it would be the easiest way for you to contact a local authorized service center and ask them. They can give you all information you need and they can also sell you the parts you need to work with your portege.
Heres a link to find the nearest ASP in your country:

Windows 8.1 will not boot after setting up dual-boot with Linux Mint 17.1 Cinnamon

In which forum should I ask this question?
After installing Linux Mint onto a partition of my hard drive, Windows 8.1 is listed a choice to boot into after restarting my computer, but will not boot up. It suggests a boot repair and to obtain Windows 8.1 from my distributor. I have seen on other forums
that this has not worked, and I was wondering if anyone here had any suggestions for how to proceed.
Thanks in advance.

Question about Raid set up with (SB600) K9A2 Platinum V 1.0

I am having trouble setting up my raid. I am using Windows XP Pro and go through the usual set up procedures using F6 command then installing the drivers etc. Once I get everything up and running installed on Raid 0 the computer works very well for a few days. Then later BSOD. The first was a 0000007b stop error, then I got the system back up again only to have it a few days then another BSOD 00000024 stop error. This time I was not able to bring it back. I thought my problem was linked to a RAM issue as I was using OCZ PC2 6400 DDR2 OCZ2G8008GQ (2X2GB). The reason I thought this was when I went to the motherboard site for approved ram, this ram was not there, then on OCZ site it was also not tested, then I went to newegg and used thier motherboard ram compatability screener and it did not show up either. So I bought the Giel ram and am now trying to set it back up again though I could not get it back still. So I finally just reformatted the drives (using another computer and a hard drive enclosure)and am getting ready to reinstall everything. I want to make sure I am using the right SB600 drivers for my application. I should be selecting AHCI X86 or x64. This does pertain to the operating system (I am using Win XP 32 Bit) or the processor (I am using the Kuma Athlon X2 7750 2.7Ghz)
I believe I should be selecting the x86 drivers when installing windows. Am I right? I just want to make sure I do not screw anything up so as to bring on the horrible BSODs again. I realize this could be some driver issue as well that could have caused this. I did everything I could to make sure it was not the hard drives.
The last question I have is: In order to ensure proper operation of the dual channel ram, (I have read the book, still confused a bit), I must install the ram with one stick in the first slot nearest the CPU and the other in the first slot of the opposite color? In this case Green/Orange slots.
Mainboard: MSI K9A2 Platinum 790FX
CPU: Athlon X2 Kuma 7750 AM2+ 2.7Ghz Processor
CPU-Cooler: Factory Supplied
RAM: 4GB (2X2GB) G Skill F2-8500CL5D-4GBPI DDR2-1066 Dual Channel
GPU: AMD790FX
VIDEO: PowerColor HD4830 512MB GDDR3
HDD: 2 Velociraptor 150 10000 rpm drives WD1500HLFS
DVD: ASUS DRW-22B1LT SATA Drive
Floppy: YES
Power Supply: CORSAIR CMPSU-650TX 650W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Ready CrossFire Ready
OS: Windows XP Pro SP1 (Updated to SP3)

I was just trying to obtain the fastest load times/install times. When the machine was first running it was very quick with no cpu temps running beyond 34C, no abnormal performance. This is my wifes computer though. Things began to go astray after she updated through windows update to SP3. I am now using a slipstreamed CD with SP3 already on it. She said she was clicking on the internet explorer "E" icon and it just shut off. THen when it rebooted (it was still set that way in windows recovery) it started loading windows then BSOD 0000007b error. I fixed it by finally getting into windows recovery and running fixboot, then fixmbr, then chkdsk /r /f. It started working fine again. Then later maybe two days later it happend again this time wihtout the restarting. She was working on something else this time and it shutdown again. This time when it tried ot reload windows I was getting the ntfs.sys issue with a 00000024 stop error. I could not do the same magic with windows recovery any longer. When I tried it indicated it repaired the boot, the mbr, but when I tried to run the chkdsk, it gave me disk read errors, such as "this disk has unrecoverable errors". I used Western Digital test programs on the drives by removing them and installing them into an enclosure and taking them to a good computer. One drive I could see in windows and it reflected 140G/B, the other would pick up but not in my computer. It also showed the drive as having the entire quantity as the RAID together had of 298G/B versus the real size of the drive 150G/B. I just figured that was the drive that was set up as LD 1 in the RAID setup (prior to windows) and possible was the drive with he boot sector on it??? I could get another drive and include it into the array, but then just figure I will have to worry about 3 drives versus 2. She keeps improtant backup stuff on an external drive. I will tone down the ram to 800. Should I set the latency in Bios though to the 5-5-5-15? or just leave everything at auto like I hade done before? Though this ram is new and was not in the computer when this happened. I had replaced the other OCZ Gold stuff and put in the G Skill stuff I have now. I had previously stated Giel, but it is G Skill, sorry about that. I may just do what you say, guess sleep on it and decide whether to just install the drives with OS/Programs on one and data on the other.

Multiple questions about using iWeb '09 with my Host Excellence, GoDaddy & Storenvy Accounts. Can you Help?

Hello, my name is Luis Diaz and I have always appreciated the help here in the iWeb community. I've been using iWeb for a long time. For some reason my usernames are not working lately - LuisDiazArt or RabidArt)
I updated my domain service with Host Excellence before MobileMe expired and thank you guys for the help with that. So far it's been a flawless service and because of that I'm very happy. I also have all my domains in GoDaddy. They have been very helpful
Okay I'm going to try to explain my current problem. I'm trying to create a subdomain in GoDaddy for my website: LuisDiazArt.com
I went and added a Subdomain in the Control Panel as: store.LuisDiazArt.com The subdomain suppose to mask my store: luisdiaz.storenvy.com
I thought by adding this subdomain it would make all the addresses look similar (and more clean) just in case someone gets lost along the way.
So what's happening after I waited an hour is I'm getting: http://store.luisdiazart.com/LuisDiazArt.com/Art_of_Luis_Diaz_%7C_LuisDiazArt.co m.html
I'm getting the huge and familair long addresses and it is not pointing to my store, but to the homepage.
Did I do something wrong or do I not understand something fully about subdomains? I thought you can make a subdomain point to another site. Perhaps it can't be done the way I'm thinking about this.
So to fix this issue I am thinking about making a duplicate website with a different domain name (RabidArt) and mask it with LuisDiazArt (this is site name I use on business card and everything else). After that make a subdomain with the same: http://store.luisdiazart.com
Perhaps this may fix the problem.
So to do this I may need to add another site onto my account (Basic and not Business) on HostExcellence.
So my other questions are:
Can I have multiple domains or websites using iWeb on a Basic Host Excellence Account? I checked out a few websites, but couldn't really find out if I can have multiple domains/websites using iWeb on Host Excellence with my current account.
I do know how to make a new duplicate site, but do you publish it the same way as you would with the regular site or do I have to so something different?
Hopefully the problem can be fixed not having to do a new site and maybe it was something I did wrong when I added a subdomain.

To add more domains you need to upgrade your account.
To have a sub domain for your store you need to create a separate site in iWeb and upload these files to the store.luisdiazart.com folder.
The files for the main site go in the luisdiazart folder.
Use an external hyperlink to link one to the other.

Question about WLAN Site Surveys with 802.11n APs - 1142s

I do site surveys a little differently that everyone else nowadays, I believe. In the past, I used an autonomous 1230 or 1240, but now I use a lightweight 1142. I configure a port in a room to be on the AP VLAN and I connect my 1142 to the port and hang it where I want - it then gets on the controller and start broadcasting just like the finished product will. This works well except for the time it takes me to configure a port on the switch and the bootup time for the AP. I'm one of the Networks Architects on a campus of almost 200 buildings, so I have access to all the routers and switches and can configure anything I need while onsite.
Now I want to have someone else (in-house) to do our surveys - but this person(s) does not have access to switches and routers, and that won't ever change.
I tried configuring a lightweight 1142 in HREAP mode to handoff to this person, but it appears the power and channel settings don't stick on the 5 GHz side.
Scrapping that idea, I now have to build out an autonomous 1142 for site surveying. I missed out on this step because I went from buying 1242s (can jump between lightweight and autonomous) to 1142s (which didn't have an autonomous image at that time, I believe). This is why I started surveying with lightweight 1142s.
I'm curious if anyone has gone through the configuration of an autonomous 1142 and wouldn't mind sharing their "lessons learned". I haven't seen a matrix of features that are supported/not supported on 1142s when configured for lightweight vs. autonomous.
I currently aim for designing around the 5 GHz radios set to 10 dBm, 20% cell overlap. I also turn on 40 MHz channels in 5 GHz range. This usually ends up with an AP in every other or every third classroom, depending on how old the building is and how many times it has been renovated. I can't "just throw APs out there" since each building is different - some are thin concrete block, some are poured cement, and some are block with metal mesh and stucco. Those usually end up with on AP per classroom.
Does anyone have a matrix on what can and cannot be turned on in an autonomous AP? I would like to get my config as close to the lightweight scenario we deploy for all of our production WLANs.

There is no matrix as to what you're asking for. I've done conversions and configurations of AP's from Lightweight to Autonomous and vice-versa. The configuration of the autonomous AP can be identical to the Lightweight AP from a client perspective.
My current setup has 3 SSID's (VoIP, Data, and Guest) on the autonomous AP. Couple things I do:
1. PoE powered AP through a Tessco power pack.
2. VLANs have to be enabled on the AP (1 for each SSID)
3. The SSID's will have to be created and each AP mapped to a VLAN
4. The SSID's will be need to be enabled on both radios if desired.
The easiest way to configure the AP is to power it with either the power cord.
Console into the AP and let it boot. Assign an IP address to the BVI 1 interface.
Assign an IP address on the wired NIC of our laptop and plug an ethernet cable into the AP's ethernet port.
Configure the AP as listed above via the web gui.
This is by no means a complete answer, but your questions were all over the map.

Jerry

Questions about TANDBERG MXP 550 with Call manager 4.2

Hello,
I have an TANDBERG MXP550 configured as an H.323 client in call manager 4.2 without a gatekeeper.
1. When I make a call between the TANDBERG and another phone registered. I have the ip address of the call manager displayed on the screen instead of the extension number. Is it possible to display the extension number without a gatekeeper ?
2. The other question is about the streaming. Can I get and read the multicast stream on a PC with a software client ? I tried with VLC (VideoLan Client), with the multicast address I don't get the stream. When I activate the Session Announcement Protocol (SAP) I can receive the stream, but the video is bad (probably a codec problem). Did somebody find a software client which reads the multicast stream?
Thanks,

Call manager provides the called party with the extension or directory number of the calling party on a display. You can use the Calling Line ID Presentation field in the Gateway Configuration window to control whether the CLID displays for all outgoing calls on the gateway.Refer URL
