Via Rhine II NIC - VT6102 - Troubleshooting

I had several troubles with this NIC and SuSE 9.3... After many tests the disgnostic was bad PHY/MAC on the NIC wich comes builtin on a Biostar 8668 Mainboard. The message reported at boot was 0x786d status which means cable or transceiver problems, I disabled the onboard NIC and installed a PCI one which is working very fine. I just wrote this because there is too few documentation about PHY or MAC status codes. Good Luck!

Automatic mounting of devices fails (CD / DVD)

This applies to all versions that use subfs and HAL/DBUS automount. If you can't get your DVD or CDROM to automatically mount, do this:

  • check in YaST / Hardware / CD-ROM Drives whether they are detected correctly and added into the system.
  • check for YOU updates for HAL and D-BUS packages and install them.
  • check whether devices in /dev have the right permissions (hdb, hdc, hdd, etc) and if the symbolic links dvdrom, cdrom, cdrecorder and dvdram etc. point to the right device nodes. (I had all of those point to hdc which made automounting of my DVD-RAM (hdc) fail!)

This made me succeed in fixing my problems, and now automounting works fine.

If automounting not work after this steps, make a bugreport and attach the output of 'lshal' with a (not automatically mounted) CD/DVD in the device to the report.
