Nach einigem Gewusel ist es mir gelungen die Probleme nach der Installation von Linux (SuSE 8.2) auf diesem Notebook zu beseitigen. Da die diversen Fehler nicht eindeutig in den Log-Dateien auftauchten - bzw. garnicht - hier nur die Hinweise zu der jetzt bei MIR(!!!) funktionierenden Installation (allerdings ohne die Einzelheiten wie 'Kernel selber kompilieren', 'Kernel patchen', 'Programme kompilieren" etc):
- Startpunkt war die Installation von SuSE 8.2, die aber leider immer abstürzte, bzw. nach einer gewissen Zeit sich schlafen legte, und dann nicht wieder aufzuwecken war -> Neustart (Ursache? Da habe ich viel gesucht, aber weder ein acpi=off | apm=off | init 3 | Ändern der Einstellungen mit hdparm hat geholfen)
- Als erstes habe ich von www.kernel.org den aktuellen Kernel 2.4.22 heruntergeladen und nach dem Beispiel von hier, s.a. hier manuell gepatcht (Originalpatch ist für 2.4.21)
- kompilieren und installieren von 855patch
wird in der /etc/init.d/boot.local mit '/usr/bin/855patch 32768' beim booten gestartet
- in der /etc/X11/XF86Config habe ich unter "Device" einen Eintrag vorgenommen der die Grösse des Videoram auch auf 32 MB setzt: "VideoRam 32768"!
Tja, so geht's dann, auch mit acpi und vor allem ohne Absturz!
Nähere Informationen zum Notebook s.u.
Linux on a Maxdata Pro 7000X
After having quite some trouble using SuSE 8.2 on the mentioned Laptop, in short what is necessary (see links above) to get it to work!
- I compiled the actual Kernel 2.4.22
- I patched the kernel manually (look here and here)
- compiled 855patch,
it will be started at boot-time in /etc/init.d/boot.local with '/usr/bin/855patch 32768' for 32MB of VideoRam
- with the actual Xfree86 4.3.0 Version, I added "VideoRam 32768" to the "Device" - Section in "/etc/X11/XF86Config"
