Which hard-drive modules should I load for the mkinitcpio.conf file?

Hey all, I've always been confused by all the weird module names in the image files, anyway, here goes, since I have a laptop, I won't be upgrading my harddrive to a new interface. but.. that's not the problem, the problem is I don't know which modules I need to load for my hard-drive, here are some outputs from lspci, hdparm etc. Any help is appreciated!

Do you have any problem with your current mkinitcpio setup, or why do you ask this?
If it works with the defaults, it's probably a good idea not to mess with it.
Okay, that's that and now for the adventerous part...
Here's a minimal setup that works for me:
MODULES="pata_hpt37x sd_mod jfs"
HOOKS="base udev"
You'd probably need to use pata_atiixp instead of pata_hpt37y, and whatever filesystem you use for / instead of jfs. In case you use encryption, lvm etc., take care to include the necessary hooks.

  • E72 - The driver \Driver\WUDFRd failed to load for the device ROOT\SYSTEM\0001

    I have a problem with my ThinkCentre E72 (Windows 8).
    Suddenly, it shuts down with "shut-down" screen. Later, in my Event Viewer, I found the following System Warning:
    "The driver \Driver\WUDFRd failed to load for the device ROOT\SYSTEM\0001" where the source of problem is Kernel-PnP.
    Only thing that is plugged in my computer is mouse, keyboard and monitor.
    Many thanks,

    Hi,
    PNP0A0A is not a default pnp ID, you need go to the manufacturer websites to find the ACPI driver, download and install it.

  • I am a school administrator. I want to know if anyone knows how to use an ipad wireless hard drive as a storage device for individual student work files  that are only accessible to the student or teacher?

    I need to use an ipad wireless hard drive as a storage device. I want the student to do work on the iPad , then save it securely on the hard drive, then be able to go back and get the file and continue working on it. Can this be done?

    We use google apps for education with the google drive ipad app
    The google drive editor is basic.   But it meets our needs.   Students go to the app called "google drive".  They logon and start a document on an iPad and then edit again using almost any device anywhere(home or school): ipad, windows7, mac, android.    
    We setup each student account with folders for each teacher.  Students can move documents into their teacher folder, and then the teacher can edit in real time with the studnet.   It's like a multi player editor. 
    There's no quick fix to allow students using ipads to save work, then revise alone or with the help of a teacher.
    You could also use skydrive, dropbox, or filebrowser, but the ability of ipad apps to edit and save revisions is spotty.  It depends if that app developer has added support.  You can see your MS Word doc files with those tools, but I don't know if you can edit the DOCX file, then save back to DOCX  files.

  • Which hard drive brands does Apple use in the iMac G5?

    I am wanting to replace the Western Digital hd that came in my iMac G5. I know that some iMacs have Maxtor hds built in and yet others Hitachi drives.
    I was wondering whether anoyone has a Seagate drive...I usually use Seagates, however I was told they are running really hot. Not what you need in an iMac G5.
    My WDC drive usually runs at 52.5C...how hot is yours running?
    Cheers,
    Jurgen

    Hi Rod,
    Since Coriolis have open tickets with both Apple and WDC, there is hope that, at one point, Apple will honour the problem and exchange the drive(s).
    I will likely not buy a new drive in the meantime since I learnt that the SATA drives are totally different from the ATA drives...in other words, the WD drive would end up in a drawer since it is incompatible with the hd enclosures [Oxford 911 chips] I have.
    In summary, my panic since November [or since Drive 10 in 2001] was justified...the time wasted was incredible. Without DiskWarrior, I would have re-loaded the operating system several times. Great piece of software. Now I am confident that the OS X update combo will resolve the current systems problem. If not, I simply re-install. Just have to defrag the WD drive using the inferior DriveGenius.
    Thanks for your help.
    Cheers,
    Jurgen

  • I can't import my favorites from FF on Windows XP hard drive because it can't see the Favorites HTML file.

    My old computer was windows XP and I had a second, larger hard drive with Ubuntu on it. My computer crashed because of the motherboard. I had both hard drives moved to a newer computer (motherboard from 2006) and computer could not boot to windows. It's now booted to the Ubuntu drive and I can access my old info on the windows XP drive. I would like to import my favorites from FF on my windows XP drive to my FF on my Ubuntu drive but "import data from another browser" doesn't find anything because it's looking on my Ubunto drive not my windows XP drive. I tried creating an HTML document of my favorites on the windows drive but when trying to import the HTML file of my favorites on Ubuntu, it can't see it...but Dolphin can see the HTML file I created.

    Did you use Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks > Import & Backup > Import HTML ?
    Does the HTML backup have a .html file extension?

  • News Feeds module crashes upon loading for the first time

    The Blackberry OEM News Feeder app crashes on my Torch every time I try to open it. It has never been able to open. I tried removing and re-downloading it several times. I also reset the security to allow everything over custom. Nothing seems to work. The error I continue to receive is as follows: Error starting net_rim_bb_news_app: error loading module 'net_rim_bb_news_app' Verify error. Any help would be appreciated.

    Hello jmlucas71 and welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
    I  would suggest backing up your BlackBerry device and doing a clean software as shown in KB11320
    Before any data is restored, test the News Feeds application.
    Let me know how you make out.

  • Which macbook pro configuration should i buy for the non retina line?

    i can't deside if it is worth it to upgrade to the 2.9GHz dual-core intel core i7 or stick with the stock one. Also im not sure if 8gbs of ram is going to be enough even though it is the max the cpu will allow. I am planning to use my Macbook pro for highschool,photo editing in Lightroom, Photoshop, and the usual like web browsing,email,etc (I'm not using Photoshop/Lightroom for my job btw just for a hobby). also i might be playing Minecraft and might be using Adobe Premiere pro for video editing. Please leave your options i'm getting it for christmas so the faster the better.

    Someone please check my math.  The data I see places the rMBP with higher performance and lower cost than the MBP.
    I looked at the MaBook Air (MBA), MacBook Pro (MBP), and Retina MBP (rMBP) price and performance and the 13”  rMBP appears to take the cake with the MBA in second place and the MBP a distant third.  The MBP has the slowest graphics and slowest standard processor for a higher price than either the rMBP or the MBA.  The MBP also weights more (4.5 lbs.) and has the worst battery life (7 hours).  An option in the MBP’s favor is it can have a slower but larger disk while the MBA and rMBP must use the smaller SSDs.
    All the processor configurations below are (±10%) in speed compared to the MBA so processor speed is not a major differentiator.  However the graphics speeds differ significantly with the MBP at the bottom with an HD 4000, the MBA in the middle with an HD 5000, and the rMBP at the top with Intel Iris Graphics.
    For lower price I would choose a 1.3 GHz i5 MBA with 8 GB of RAM and a 256 GB SSD for $1,400.  For higher performance I would choose the 2.4 GHz i5 rMBP with 16 GB of RAM and 256 GB SSD for $1,700.  If I needed more than 256 GB of storage then I might consider the MBP with a 500 GB or 1 TB disk, but that would sacrifice performance both in graphics and I/O speed.   Instead of a larger system disk one could consider placing some of the storage on the 256 GB SSD and some on an external 1 TB hard disk.
    Similar configurations:
    MBA 1.7 GHz i7, 8 GB RAM, 256 GB SSD: $1,550  <— 2nd place
              Mactracker 7284 system benchmark plus HD 5000 graphics
              3 lbs. 12 hours of battery life
    MBP 2.5 GHz i5, 8 GB RAM, 256 GB SSD: $1,700 <— 3rd place
              Mactracker 6690 system benchmark plus HD 4000 graphics
              4.5 lbs. 7 hours of battery life
              8% slower CPU performance on Mactracker benchmarks
              compared to the MBA
    MBP 2.9 GHz i7, 8 GB RAM, 256 GB SSD: $1,850 <— 3rd place
              Mactracker 7841 system benchmark plus HD 4000 graphics
              4.5 lbs. 7 hours of battery life
              8% faster CPU performance on Mactracker benchmarks
              compared to the MBA
    rMBP 2.4 Ghz i5, 8 GB RAM, 256 GB SSD: $1,500. <— 1st place
              Mactracker 7136 system benchmark plus Intel Iris Graphics
              3.5 lbs. 9 hours of battery life
              2% slower CPU performance on Mactracker benchmarks
              compared to the MBA
    rMBP 2.4 Ghz i5, 16 GB RAM, 256 GB SSD: $1,700. <— 1st place

  • Can I load "Pages" onto new hard drive without having to pay for it again?

    I have a 5 yr old Mac that just had it's hard drive replaced.  I had paid for and loaded Pages onto the original hard drive.  Wondering if there's any way to load Pages onto my new hard drive without having to pay for the program again.  Thanks so much

    If you originally installed Pages from a CD or DVD, reinstall it from there.
    If you installed Pages from the Mac App Store, yes, from the Apple ID you purchased it with.
    If you got Pages from the iTunes App Store, the Mac version of it is a separate purchase.

  • Having issue with GoFlex Seagate Driver Setting, Its always asking for the installation process whenever I am turning on my mac, any help will be appreciated.

    Hi Team,
    Unfortunatly, I plugged-in one of my friends external hard drive, and its asked me for the seagate driver instalation, after that every time when I am turning on my system, its asking for the goFlex software instalation process.
    I tried out some process by googleing, I tried to remove the complete segate from my system, still it didn't help me.
    Please help me with, to remove a complete segate package.
    Thanks,
    Jayaram.

    Thanks Richard.
    The 3 point did help me, now its not all asking for the each time instalation for the same driver.
    Here one question comes to my mind, by deleting the content of the temp folder for the segate and removing all the releated files from the application, library->application support, library->extension, library->LaunchAgents, I deleted all the releated files of segate, could you please let me know if I need to delete from any more location to avoid the garbage files.
    Thanks for your time and help

  • Just got Prosoft drive genius 3 software, and it's telling me that the external hard drive that i am using for my time machine back up drive needs to be defragmented.  is it wise to do this or should i not??

    just got Prosoft drive genius 3 software, and it's telling me that the external hard drive that i am using for my time machine back up drive needs to be defragmented.  is it wise to do this or should i not??

    Let's hope a couple things: that you have bootable clones of your drives also; that the backup drive for TimeMachine has over 3x capacity of the data you plan and are storing. I would also switch TM backup drives so you have a 2nd.
    Fragmented free space affecting performance happens when the drive is too full which may mean there isn't enough free space for a full backup set.
    1.5TB for backing up 500GB, while WD Green 3TB is $140 and WD Black 1.5TB is, about the same price.
    I'd be worried about the integrity and directory, and whether you can afford to lose that drive. Defragging is also a very slow operation. the ideal: to just clone a drive, or start over with another drive and wait. cloning TM volumes has not been done or has it? SuperDuper hoped to but I don't think they or Bombich's CCC made it there.
    Trouble with highly fragged is when free space gets to 20% normally, 1/3 or so though for TM volumes, and finding where and a chunk of space for the file being written. Does TM use large spare image files of like 2GB?
    Best would be to ask in the TimeMachine section Snow Leopard
    https://discussions.apple.com/community/mac_os/mac_os_x_v10.6_snow_leopard?view= discussions#/?tagSet=1009
    where there are some good FAQ and tutorials, and people that know the ins-and-outs and shortcomings.

  • Which kernel module should I use for Marvell Yukon 88E8001?

    Which kernel module should I use for Marvell Yukon 88E8001?
    a. sky2
    b. skge
    c. sk98lin

    I found this in the kernel''s /driver/net/Kconfig:
    config SKGE
    tristate "New SysKonnect GigaEthernet support"
    depends on PCI
    select CRC32
    ---help---
    This driver support the Marvell Yukon or SysKonnect SK-98xx/SK-95xx
    and related Gigabit Ethernet adapters. It is a new smaller driver
    with better performance and more complete ethtool support.
    It does not support the link failover and network management
    features that "portable" vendor supplied sk98lin driver does.
    This driver supports adapters based on the original Yukon chipset:
    Marvell 88E8001, Belkin F5D5005, CNet GigaCard, DLink DGE-530T,
    Linksys EG1032/EG1064, 3Com 3C940/3C940B, SysKonnect SK-9871/9872.
    It does not support the newer Yukon2 chipset: a separate driver,
    sky2, is provided for Yukon2-based adapters.
    To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
    will be called skge. This is recommended.
    Looks like your module is "skge"

    Snow Leopard 10.6 Technical Requirements - http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
    You can buy Snow Leopard at:
    Snow Leopard disc source - http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    You could contact Apple Support and see if they have the original discs for that machine but it would be 10.4.11 and there's no reason not to go to at least Snow Leopard, especially since the 10.6 discs would probably cost the same as a replacement set of 10.4.11

    Here are instructions on replacing the hard drive in a MacBook with a removable battery. http://creativemac.digitalmedianet.com/articles/viewarticle.jsp?id=45088
    To transfer your current hard drive I like the free application Carbon Copy Cloner. It makes a bootable copy of everything on your hard drive http://www.bombich.com/index.html You'll need a cheap SATA external hard drive case. Put the new drive in the case then format and partition the new drive and clone your old drive to the new one. Check that it's set up right by booting up from the external drive. Then replace your old hard drive with the new one and put your old one in the external case.
    Here's a cheap SATA external hard drive case on Amazon http://www.amazon.com/HDE-SATA-Hard-Drive-Enclosure/dp/B001AAVA08/ref=pd_bxgy_pc _text_b

    Thanks Shootist007, by blockd files I mean files that I have changed to blocked and when I tried to move then for the first time, I had to unblock again. I am trying to backup my pictures, my songs and other files like word documents and excel tables. First I put all of them as blocked, what caused the first problems on trying to move them. Then, I've unchecked the block option and if I try to move one by one, there is no problem. The issue is to move all together, because it gets stuck in the preparing to copy files step. Anyway, if I cannot do all by once, I'll do it one by one, event though that was not suposed to happen if we are talking about technology, right? Anyway, I thank you again for trying to help me!
