Not being familiar with chip sets and other factors that "hardware experts" understand, I am perplexed with the multitude of available motherboards. Is there a Web site that can be of help or a "strategy"? My goal is to replace my motherboard with one that is Centos compatible and uses a Pentium 4 in the 2 MHz range. As example, when I go to Mwave, I am presented with

I'm considering upgrading, and am trying to choose a modern motherboard that nevertheless fully works with Centos5/RHEL5. Though I'm partial to AMD processors, and would like to use one in my new configuration, that's not a requirement, if the most appropriate board happens to be intel-compatible. However, given the way ASUS is dumping LInux and crawling more firmly into bed with

I am looking at a mini-itx system that has the Intel chipset. The video spec is the "Intel 852GM GMCH". Anyone know anything good or bad about this? The board is iGoLogic i3386G

I had to replace the motherboard on one of my CentOS 4 systems and am now getting a kernel panic.

I need a SCSI card to attach a tape library to my system. I am looking at the Adaptec 29320A-R. Can anyone confirm that this card will work with the stock CentOS 4 kernel? -- Bowie

I have a server that frequently hangs while rebooting. I see no errors, but during the boot process it stops at this stage: Initializing hardware... storage network audio The cursor sits just after the word "audio" and I have to do a hard reset to get out of it. This server has no audio capabilities, so I am thinking that I just need to disable the audio stuff so it doesn't

After having read this mailing list for a little while, I get the impression that there are at least some people who regularly experience on-disk corruption that ZFS should be able to report and handle. I?ve been running a raidz1 on three 1TB consumer disks for approx. 2 years now (about 90% full), and I scrub the pool every 3-4 weeks and have never had a single error. From the oft-quoted 10^14

I have a backup spooling onto a DLT drive. Is there any tool that will let me monitor the data throughput on the device? -- Bowie

I am planning to build a server based on the SuperMicro X7DBE+-O motherboard. This server will have two dual-core Xeon processors and a 3ware 9550SX raid card. Has anyone built a server based on this motherboard? Are there any issues with the smp/dual-core support in CentOS4 that might cause problems? I appreciate any input. I'm just looking to find out about any possible problems before

Does anyone know of a cheap temperature sensor that will work with Linux? I don't need a fancy monitoring appliance, I just want a simple sensor that I can connect to one of my monitoring servers to let me know if the server room is getting hot. -- Bowie

I have a CentOS 7 server that is running out of memory and I can't figure out why.

Someone mentioned earlier (I can't find the message now) that they had a motherboard that allowed you to change IRQ assignments in BIOS. Does anyone happen to know how to identify motherboards that can do this? I'm going to put together a new machine now and I'm having trouble picking a motherboard for it (ordering from Dell or other online vendor is not an option, since I need

Hi list, I run several linux-hosts under Xen, but on my computer at home I''d like to get Windows running too as I need it once in a while.. I have an AMD X2 CPU and plenty of RAM running on an ABIT kn9 SLI motherboard. I can''t seem to find any info about support for AMD-V on this motherboard, so I guess I need a new one... Any suggestions as to what to buy? Thanx Sturla

I have two identical servers. The only difference is that the first one has Maxtor 250G drives and the second one has Seagate 320G drives. OS: CentOS-4.4 (fully patched) CPU: dual Opteron 280 Memory: 16GB Raid card: 3ware 9550Sx-8LP Raid volume: 4-disk Raid 5 with NCQ and Write Cache enabled On the first server I have decent performance. Nothing spectacular, but good enough. The second one

Give a specific symptom. This was brought to my attention because one program was killed by the kernel to free memory and another program failed because it was unable to allocate

I have an old computer running CentOS 5. I need to add an SATA drive to it, but it doesn't have any ports, so I need an add-on card. The board only has a 32-bit PCI slot. Any recommendations on cards/brands that work well with CentOS? I don't need any raid capabilities, I just need a couple of SATA connections. Thanks, -- Bowie
