Hello, I have an old IBM Netvista. Lately, it would seem to go into sleep mode but I have all that disabled. I would have to power off to wake it up. Now I think its done. I can't even get to the CMOS/BIOS. The power light is on but no beeps or anything spinning up. I have two of these Netvistas and had put on away when I upg...

...I need some advise on. I have two computers that I am planning to use as a cluster. I initially started with some left over Compaq Presairos with 667MHz CPUs. I loaded CentOS 4.3 and later updated to 4.4. Things ran normally, albeit slowly. I had an opportunity to upgrade to a pair of IBM Netvistas with 2.26 GHz CPUs, I did this by transferring the 160GB Western Digital IDE disks and NICs but did not re-install the OS, just migrated the disks. Since then they have had the following symptoms: -Systems frequently boot faster than the disks can be spun up and have to be soft booted to rec...

Hello, Having not been able to run a kernel without locking up since 2.6.9-34.0.2.EL, I think I have found the 'fix'. There are numerous post about this and all suggest its related to ACPI. For me, its APIC. I added the following to grub.conf: noapic apic=off. Been up now 4 days, 22 mins. running 2.6.9-78.0.8.EL. Previously I could get maybe 4 - 6 hours before locking up. Another

Hello, I am having problems with video in X. I get an over frequency issue using the stock CentOS 4.2 driver. I have searched IBM and Intel for the driver but no luck. Occassionally I see something about need to load a kernel module for agpgart. How do I do this? Anyone have a similar setup or know where I can find the driver? TIA

Hello I'm looking at my options to build a compact, silent, headless Asterisk server to handle one or two FXO ports. Out of curiosity, I got one of those babies on eBay for 20E: http://silicon-verl.de/home/flo/software/netstation-8364/ Before I spend time on this, can someone tell me if... 1. it's easy to install Linux on those things (am willing to add a CF-to-IDE adapter to use a

...ple, I installed the latest kernel the other evening, reboot for the changes and by morning, the system appears to be locked up. Typing 'yum update' takes about 10 minutes to execute. Not sure whats going on here but I'm stuck using 2.6.9-34.0.2. This is a centos 4.4 system on an IBM NetVista, 2.53 Ghz, 1GB RAM. I have noticed when there is a kernel update, it downloads the huge memeory and smp files. TIA Eddie

Hello Since I got the IBM Netvista to boot Linux, and am still waiting for the Compact Flash cards that I ordered, I was wondering if someone knew of an Asterisk distribution that can run on that kind of diskless host? I've taken a look at AstLinux and AskoziaPBX, but they both seem to be meant to be installed on a solid-state...

Hello, As some may recall, I suffered a hardware failure of a 10 yr old IBM Netvista back in January. I was backing up my personal data, 'My Documents', to my CentOS server but I apparently didn't get my emails. It was a main board failure and I believe the data is still good on the hard drive. Only problem, its an IDE drive and my server and new PC have SATA drives....

First off I am a linux / CentOS newbies so go easy on me. Just curious if anyone out there is running Nagios on CentOS 4.5. I have now installed it on a second server due to issue but the issues have come back to haunt me. The OS is running on an IBM NetVista. Every thing in both installs is identical as are the problems. Once I have Nagios up and monitoring every thing hangs. Even a terminal will hang before it finally just locks up. The only thing that brings it back is a reboot. Even stopping the services doesn't work. Disk space seems fine an...

...as that would be overkill for a home user. This would be replacing my 'server' so I need PCI slots for an additional NIC and a 32 bit video capture card used for zoneminder. Not sure what PCI express is or if my cards would work in those slots. Yep, I'm running 8 yrs old machines, IBM NetVistas. :-( Any help or referal to a sponsor would be greatly appreciated. TIA, Eddie

Hi I have used pxelinux successfully in some situations. However, I am unable to boot IBM NetVista thin clients using pxelinux. The kernel that does boot up these thin clients over the net is in elf format (it is called kernel.2200). # file kernel.2200 kernel.2200: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), statically linked, not stripped So, I would have liked to compile (asse...

Hello everyone, I''m totally new to Xen and trying to run it on some platforms (x86, x64) using SLES (that is what I have to use for reasons other than technical). Several machines on which I tried using Xen simply fails to run normally using Xen kernel: either network communication is not functioning at all despite proper configuration (that works on non-Xen kernel), or the kernel

Followups set, hesitantly, to gmane.linux.redhat.fedora.general I thought I had posted this to both these groups, but my newsreader doesn't show it in either. I have three Garmin GPSs (an Etrex Vista and two Rino 120s), which I want to use under Fedora 11 Linux with four PCs, and two IBM- reconditioned Thinkpads, T30 & T42. Garmin software suites (Metroguide USA and Topo US 2008)
