Help everyone... I need to track the spread of a BIOS bug. One symptom of this particular BIOS bug is that with pxelinux.0 from Syslinux 3.83-pre9, "localboot 0" works, but *if pxelinux.0 chainloads itself first*, then "localboot 0" *does not work*. I have reasons to believe this is a fairly widespread bug among newer hardware (made in the last two years or so), and it is

Hi, I have CentOS 4.4 installed on a system at an ISP and I am trying to setup lm_sensors. It would be a lot easier to setup if I knew what motherboard I was using! :-) Is there any way of identifying the motherboard of a system remotely (via SSH)? Many thanks Regards, Dan

I am using PXELINUX to unattened install our machines with XP. It is a not very easy to handle with mac adresses because mac adresses can change when a motherboard is changed, but the asset tag from dell (or also from compaq) will be also updated when the motherboard is changed to the original value, so our unique key here is the asset tag. So my idea is to change the behaviour so that it will

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi list, I have an IBM xseries 345, running CentOS 5.3, hosting a few Xen domUs. However, I need more RAM -- but cannot remember if all (four) RAM sockets are populated (which would mean to buy higher capacity modules) or if there are two slots left to use. However, I'd like (and think that it's possible, but don't remember how) to

I've got a machine running CentOS 3.5 with an Intel D865GBF motherboard and I've been having an occasional "event" where disk-intensive activity (such as running "yum check-update" or starting up OpenOffice) causes the load average to spike and X11 to become unresponsive (as in, the pointer won't even track the mouse) for a few seconds. The machine always recovers

Just so others know. On my EVGA motherboard the option to boot removable media didn't work on my usb flash drive with syslinux on it. Yesterday I tried updating the version of syslinux and seeing if that would wok. Frustrated with it not working I moaned and groaned and my brother decided to look for options in the bios that I might have missed. He couldn't find anything. But I decided to

I am using an ASUS P4P800 Deluxe which is a motherboard that has been tested with Asterisk. I am unsure about the PCI slot and IRQ settings in the BIOS and am having problems with a WCFXO card sharing with other devices. Any suggestions on the settings required for Asterisk to avoid IRQ conflicts? Thanks :) -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:

I have a xen 4.1.1 with a 3.0.4 linux kernel running on a Supermicro Supermicro X8DTL-iF motherboard with 16GB of RAM. If I run the 3.0.4 kernel on the bare metal dmidecode works fine. If I run it under xen dmidecode fails to work. On other systems with different hardware but identical software dmidecode works correctly under xen. On this hardware with xen 3.4.1 & linux 2.6.18, dmidecode

All, I went to download a BIOS update for my motherboard today and had the option for an ISO. Upon booting said ISO, I was greeted with: ISOLINUX 2.10 2004-06-18 Copyright (C) 1994-2004 H. Peter Anvin along with the other appropriate BIOS update instructions. Congratulations for all of the hard work everyone has put into the SYSLINUX product. I've used it for several years now and it

In Timo's thread about RAM today, I noticed dmidecode and I got the data for my Dell Dimension 2400 (Celeron CPU) box, which is below. I won this box in a raffle, during February 2005. After I got the box, I got conflicting information, from Crucial.com and from Dell Latin America, regarding the maximum RAM configuration. To be conservative, I bought two 256 MB DIMMS from Crucial.com, early

hi guys I have a box on which UEFI boot has gone haywire and instead of boot it power the box down, that is before even going to grub2. (displays some error message) I if change to BIOS boot then I can start Centos' rescue - my question is: how can I rescue, re-build grub so it would boot from tradition BIOS? many thanks, L.

All, I have been terribly pleased with openbsd 3.2 I was using it as a mail/samba server with postifx on a pentium pro 200 with 1 gig of memory. Well I wanted to add a larger harddrive than what I have in it now only 6.4 gig. Well the machine would not see it and for some reason after hours and hours of trying I can't get a tekram 395UW and a 18gig scsi to be the boot drive and having failed

I read the mailing list archive about Gigabyte motherboards not working with USB booting ("[syslinux] Gigabyte recent bios & syslinux extlinux trow USB-IDE bridges or pendrives", 16 Aug 2006). I have a Gigabyte GA-MA790GP-DS4H motherboard that I tried to boot in USB-HDD mode with a PNY boot pen. I installed System Rescue CD on it. It would appear that Gigabyte still doesn't

I have an older server I am trying to update to CentOS 4.3 but I can't get to the installer screen because the machine kernel panics when booted from the install CD. The error message I get is: Kernel panic - not syncing: include/linux/smp_lock.h:25 spin_unlock(kernel/sched.c:c035) not locked The boot messages before this point are mainly to do with acpi including: acpi_ps_parse_anl
