Background: I have a notebook with Nvidia Optimus, showing the following graphics cards: 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation UHD Graphics 630 (Mobile) 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Co...

Hi, i tried these two commands: grub2-mkconfig > /etc/grub2.cfg grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg However i think i found my problem. It is mostly unrelated to grub.

Or try to bring it up with "mdadm --assemble --scan" at the dracut prompt) # cat /etc/md...

Hello, had big problems installing a new Dell notebook XPS17 L702x . The graphics card is a nVidia GT 555M (also called optimus). Centos 6.0 works fine (both DVD-installer and resulting installation - kernel 2.6.32-71). Centos 6.2 has an OOPS very early in the kernel (both the install-DVD-boot, and ...

Hello Alan, i am not a SMART guru, but i interpreted this differently: This [b]or[/b] in my thinking is a synonym for "in other words", not a logical or. The emergency retract would only happen if the disk is powered off without proper shutdown. At normal shutdown, no emergency retract should happen...
