BCS2-Emulator with SMP processors
Support knowledgebase (iBCS_smp_71)
Applies to
SuSE Linux: Version 7.1
This article refers to an older version of SuSE Linux.
Therefore some of the informations given in this article may
be outdated or the article may contain stale links.
Kernel: Version 2.2.18
ibcs2
Symptom:
The iBCS2 emulation (Package 'ibcs2'- series 'emu') works fine with the standard kernel but not with the
SMP kernel 2.2.18.
Cause:
The SMP module isn´t translated correctly.
Solution:
-
Please copy the module that is translated correctly from
ftp.suse.de/private/uboris/iBCS
to your machine in
/lib/modules/2.2.18-SMP/misc/
- or install the two packages below:
ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/7.1/kernel/k_smp.rpm
ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/7.1/kernel/modutils.rpm
using the command 'rpm -Uhv ...'
and create 'initrd' anew by the use of:
mk_initrd
afterwards please write 'Lilo' anew and type in as user root:
lilo
Hint
Actually for the kernel 2.4.x no support exists (SuSE Linux 7.1); iBCS2 isn´t ported for the 2.4.x kernel yet.
