===Very long boot time with VMWARE installed===

 +
0x000cc000-0x000cffff] conflicts with Video ROM [mem 0x000c0000-0x000ce9ff]

 +
This error message occurs due to latest kernels enumerate PCI host bridges and is not specific to ROSA Linux - see this kernel bug report. The message itself does not indicate a functional problem, so it can be ignored.

 +
If you see additional problems, such as computers with multiple NICs not starting all adaptors reliably and issues with multi display/adaptor configurations, please report them in the kernel bugzilla and attach a complete dmesg log. The '''pci=nocrs''' parameter may be a workaround while debugging the problem.
 +
 
 +
To use '''pci=nocrs''', edit the syslinux.cfg boot file and add pci=nocrs to the parameters. On systems that boot from a USB memory stick, this
 +
file is /media/usb/syslinux.cfg

Example:

timeout 20

default grsec

Update from Marathon/Marathon RP1 to Marathon X1

After last system update i did not install/update anything- system say me about unable find mirrorlist

For resolve this problem do this steps: - Run root console (konsole or another terminal, su, root password) - run comand

ln -sf /etc/product.id.One /etc/product.id

After this install and update process will work correctly

After update Firefox not use may own locale

With media metadata problem system not install locale package for Firefox. For resolve this install package

where xyz you needing lang.

Installation

Boot from hardisk does not work

If your bootloader is located not on the first physical disk, this option will not working.

System boots into the 'Live' mode after reboot

After system installation is complete and you reboot the machine, do not forget to eject your installation DVD or USB media, since by default the 'Live' mode will activated. Alternatively, you can change the priority of boot devices or choose 'Boot from hard drive' when booting from the installation media.

If installed from USB Flash, the system displays a message about 'Emergency mode'

If you install the system from USB Flash, you can a message about 'Emergency mode' after removing installation media rebooting.

Very long boot time with VMWARE installed

In case your boot takes very long time you can try disabling pcscd service in your host system. It can be done via drakxservices, or by executing command

systemctl disable pcscd.service

from root user.

Adaptor ROM Conflicts

This information relates to error messages such as the one outlined in the page title and other similar ones - for example:

pci_root PNP0A08:00: address space collision: host bridge window [mem
0x000cc000-0x000cffff] conflicts with Video ROM [mem 0x000c0000-0x000ce9ff]

This error message occurs due to latest kernels enumerate PCI host bridges and is not specific to ROSA Linux - see this kernel bug report. The message itself does not indicate a functional problem, so it can be ignored.

If you see additional problems, such as computers with multiple NICs not starting all adaptors reliably and issues with multi display/adaptor configurations, please report them in the kernel bugzilla and attach a complete dmesg log. The pci=nocrs parameter may be a workaround while debugging the problem.

To use pci=nocrs, edit the syslinux.cfg boot file and add pci=nocrs to the parameters. On systems that boot from a USB memory stick, this file is /media/usb/syslinux.cfg Example:

timeout 20
prompt 1
default grsec
label grsec

kernel /boot/grsec append pci=nocrs initrd=/boot/grsec.gz alpine_dev=usbdisk:vfat modules=loop,cramfs,sd-mod,usb-storage quiet

Cannot install system with /var in a different partition than /

Error "cannot copy files to new partition" in the end of the installation process. The error occurs because of squashfs installation image which contains hard links to other root directories. Solution: keep /var and / on the same partition or disk.
See also bug #316.

Hardware

After update to 2012 Marathon sound is disabled

Delete .pulse directory in you home folder.

Impossible to activate video driver for graphics cards on 82945G/GZ chipsets

To load Intel video driver for cards on 82945G/GZ chipsets, one should perform the following actions:

  • Open ROSA Control Center and choose "Boot->Configure boot steps->Set up boot system"
  • Add pci=noacpi to kernel options and reboot the system
  • Now you can enable Intel video driver for your graphics card

Please refer to bug 198 for more details.

Low WiFi speed (with kernel module ath9k)

Issue: low wifi connection speed while using Atheros AR9285 Wireless Network Adapter and others with kernel module ath9k.

Solution: from root

echo "options ath9k nohwcrypt=1" > /etc/modprobe.d/ath9k.conf

and reboot.

"Welcome to emergency mode" error

If the booting process has stopped with the "Welcome to emergency mode" error, you have to login as root, insert:

rm /etc/mtab
ln -s /proc/mounts /etc/mtab

and reboot.

See bug 458, and NTFS notes from Installation page.
