Matt, can u help me plz in this regard ?

Wish I could, but we did not create VICIDIALnow and I have never seen that error show up before. What kind of hard drives are you using?

Have you tried this in another machine?

I toook out the SATA HDD 250 gb and inserted in the low end machine where my current dialer is working with 80 gb. I installed vicidialnow and it went through. But afetr installation, i took out the 250 GB HDD and inderted it in BIOS Version : 2.61
Processor : AMD 5600 X2
Motherboard : ASUS M3A78-EM
Ram : 4 GB 800 freq , i can start the diale but it getting hang. My tech guy said its soem kernel problem. and Asked that w eneed to resolve this "Loading ahci driver" and install vicidialnow in ASUS motherboard only . but no idea how to resolve it. I tried with 1 GB ram also.. but still...

I faced the same problem and eventually i had to set acpi=off as there seems to be some problem with vicidialnow and some motherbaords.

Posted: **Thu Sep 18, 2008 3:27 pm**

I am stuck in bettween still looking for a solution

Can creator of Vicidialnow advice me plz ?

Try appending the following to the boot option:

all-ide-generic irqpoll nolapic noapic

Looks like your SATA chipset is not supported under CentOS 5.1 (which VicidialNOW 1.1 is based).

Instead of pressing "Enter" on bootup, type the following:

vicisingle all-ide-generic irqpoll nolapic noapic

Once again :

BIOS Version : 2.61

I have downloaded vicidialnow from

http://ftp.vicidialnow.org/pub/VicidialNOW/latest/ISO/

Should I change the Motherboard ?

Posted: **Sat Sep 20, 2008 8:23 am**

Hi,

Well it'll be better for you to change the motherboard but if you google around a bit for ACPI you may very well run VICIDIAL on this board flawlessly.
Its an excellent software but yes it do require a bit of experimentation and research when you are stuck.
Moreover the problem which you are facing is not VICIDIAL's problem. For this you need to check LINUX forums but again google will solve it.

gardo , any Other Command can u suggest ?

Posted: **Sat Sep 20, 2008 5:30 pm**

Is it that Motherboard is NOT allowing Vicidialnow to get install ?

I have checked and found chipset as AMD 780G/SB700

I have checked with my hardware guy and he confirmed me that its NOT possible to replace the MB as there is no fault in MB.

I toook out the SATA HDD 250 gb and inserted in the low end machine where my current dialer is working with 80 gb. I installed vicidialnow and it went through. But afetr installation, i took out the 250 GB HDD and inderted it in BIOS Version : 2.61
Processor : AMD 5600 X2
Motherboard : ASUS M3A78-EM
Ram : 4 GB 800 freq , i can start the diale but it getting hang. My tech guy said its soem kernel problem. and Asked that w eneed to resolve this "Loading ahci driver" and install vicidialnow in ASUS motherboard only . but no idea how to resolve it. I tried with 1 GB ram also.

OR Any way to resolve this Kernel Problem ?

Posted: **Mon Sep 22, 2008 4:58 am**

I tried

vicisingle pci = nommconf acpi=off irqprobe all-generic-ide

Posted: **Mon Sep 22, 2008 7:02 am**

Spoke to my hardware guy and he said he cannot change the motherboard.

I am STUCKED.

Now, only option is SCRATCH INSTALL ?

Posted: **Wed Sep 24, 2008 7:31 am**

I spoke to my hARDWARE guy and he agreed to change the motherboard.

Can anyone please suggest which motherboard should I go for . My processor is AMD 5600+X2 , as he told me he can change my motherboard for the last time ?

Also, hardware guy said he can try to upgrade the BIOS but he doubts whether it will solve the problem ...

He also suggested to upgrade the Bios and it MAY work.

My motherboard is : http://www.anitec.ca/product/11524/asus ... et_am2%2B/

Posted: **Wed Sep 24, 2008 7:33 am**

My hardware guy gave me the CD of Drivers from :

http://support.asus.com/download/downlo ... l=M3A78-EM

Posted: **Wed Sep 24, 2008 2:10 pm**

Sorry for making this thread so long... further help or advice will definitely help me a LOT.

Posted: **Thu Sep 25, 2008 4:37 am**

Hi,

No doubt that the thread is getting longer but the same is not helping you as this forum is not for LINUX problems !!

As said earlier you can go in for a new motherboard and if that's not possible then simply get a linux guy who can do an initial install for you (lemme know your location). I myself faced identical problem with INTEL DG33FB motherbaord.

Further, there are numerous linux forums where you can get support.

I only had to upgrade BIOS.

Good news is that Same Motherboard works.But somehow et0 is not detected.Though ASUS guys gave me Drivers for the same but I have no clue on how to upgrade it.

Thnx to all who guided me at every step.

Hi,

Thts gr8 !!

Do an " lspci -v | more "command and it will tell you the make and model of your lan card. Just download the drivers for the same and install it and you are done. Incase you need to know the steps please PM me.

My guy says :

Kernal is compiled to use Intel Desktop adapters only

True ?

Posted: **Fri Sep 26, 2008 10:08 am**

Hi,

Kernal is compiled to use Intel Desktop adapters only

ummm. well I'm not sure how your hardware guy managed to do that...

As said earlier locate the model and download appropriate drivers.....
Like my model was R8168 and after downloading drivers all I needed was to perform these steps :

tar vjxf r8168----.tar.bz2
cd r8168-----
make clean modules
make install
depmod -a
insmod .src/r8168.ko (for 2.6 kernel)

hope this helps....

If I press Alt F1, I see below codes :

1) ide-cd : cmd 0*28 timeout
2) hda : DMA timeout
3) hda : statuis timeout : status= 0xd0
4) ide : failed opcode was : unknown
5) hda : drive not ready timeout
6) hda : ATAPI reset complete

That's totally unrelated to the lan card issue that you have. Follow kapilhotmail's advise and you'll get your lan card working.

When I am trying to install Vicidialnow 1.1rc2 on ASUS motherboard, it doenst detect SATA nor AHCI mode and it gets hangs in above error.
