similar to: Tyan K8SE (S2892) / nForce Pro Experiences (Clarification)

Has anyone installed Linux (CentOS or other) on a Tyan K8SE (S2892) motherboard? I'd really like to hear your experiences -- with this board or Nvidia's nForce Pro chipset in general. I'm looking to build a new server using this board but would like to find some other experiences first. I've googled myself blue but haven't found any reviews or postings regarding this

Tyan has posted a lm_sensors config file for the Thunder K8SE S2892 at ftp://ftp.tyan.com/software/lms/lms_s2892.conf However when I ran the sensors command on my S2892 I was getting a readout for an adt7463 chip that wasn't referenced in the config file. I emailed Raphael Deng at Tyan asking him to confirm the manual edit needed to get sensors.conf to refer to the adt7463 chip. His

I had my eye on the Tyan dual-Opteron mobos for awhile. I tried to find a posting *anywhere* sharing experiences with these boards under Linux. No such luck. So placing myself under the heading "Where Angles Fear to Tread," I went ahead and built a system anyway. Here's what I've learned. The specs: Tyan Thunder K8SE S2892, BIOS 1.01 2x Opteron 270, 2Ghz Dual-Core, retail

I've been having an extremely hard time using the on board SATA controller on my nvidia based board. I have two 160gig Maxtor SATA drives attached to the on board controller, setup as software raid0. The problem is the array is extremely unreliable, where I'm getting constant I/O errors like: sd 0:0:0:0: SCSI error: return code = 0x00040000 end_request: I/O error, dev sda, sector

I've been planning to build a dual Opteron server for awhile. I'd like to get people's suggestions on a suitable motherboard. I've looked at the Tyan K8SE (S2892) and K8SRE (S2891) but would like to find more Linux-specific experiences with these boards. Some features I expect are at least 4 SATA (SATA-300?) ports, serial console support in the BIOS, USB 2.0 and IEEE-1394

Hi all, I had nForce3 motherboard that has broken. Than I bought nForce4 motherboard. I connected old hard disk to this new nForce4 motherboard. For net and sound support I download drivers from nvidia.com site. This driver asks kernel source to be on local disk and gcc compiler. After I installed kernel source and gcc, driver is successfully installed. >From that point (but maybe it is

Hi, I have a strange problem with Centos 4 (all kernels so far). When i am running gnome (havent tried KDE) and i go into a browser or even just a console window and type something a letter repeates it self 10-20 times (likeeeeee thhhhhhissssss). I can turn this of the the keyboard settings (repeating keys) but then i cant hold down backspace and so on ....I think this is some kind of

Hi all Is there any way to extract information (like what dmidecode provides) from within PXELINUX and, based on this information, selectively perform an action? What I'm trying to do is provide a method of flashing the BIOS of our HP Linux workstations but different workstations use different methods of updating the BIOSes. For example, the xw9300 uses 'rompaq' where the xw8400

Eric, I''ve attached the output from the command you requested below. I''m using kernel 2.6.17.12 and tc version ss060323. I''m have a nforce4 onboard giggabit controller using the forcedeth driver, if that makes a difference. Charlie, I''ll take a look at the Apache model for throttling, thanks. I was going for tc because was going to try to add additional

I just got a motherboard with the nforce4 chipset. Apparantly the PCI'ids changed for the SATA and the drivers are not loaded or found at install time. What can I do to provide them? I am using CentOS 4.3. Will those new changes to 4.4 handle this? Thanks Jerry

Hello Can you share your experience with running XEN on different hardware? Does any body run XEN either 2.0.6/7 or 3.0devel on following machines: 1) nForce4 based motherboard either with single or dual core CPU 2) ASUS 1U server AP140R-E1 --- P4 http://www.asus.com/products4.aspx?modelmenu=2&model=137&l1=9&l2=40&l3=116 3) MICROSTAR Server Barebone K1-1000D (MS-9245) 1U ---

Hi, everyone. I'm new to the list. This question may have come up before, but I couldn't find an answer to it by searching the centos website. Could be I was using bad keywords for my search. I have 3 HP xw9300 workstations (dual AMD Opteron 64-bit processors) that I'm upgrading from RHEL3WS to CentOS 4.4. I've upgraded two already, with one left to go. On the system with

I have the following nis map (auto.facvs) * -vers=3 &:/disk1 Which allows hosts that have /disk1 exported to be mounted to /facvs/$hostname It works fine, but on Centos4, it allows me to cd /facvs/foo (where foo isn't a real host out there) I find it has mounted my local /disk1 as /facvs/foo. It seems to be ignoring the key in the map pertaining to the host if it's not a valid

Hi, our client wants us to use Biostar NF4 X4-A7 (nForce4-4X) based computer. I do not have access to nForce4-4X based computer to try. Anyone successful with C4.4 installation? Thanks, David Hrb??

Well, sometimes startx reboots my computer. Other times is does nothing except slow it to a halt for a while. Sometimes is locks up. I am using init level 3. At the command line, everything looks fine, and I can do whatever commands I want. When I type startx, then things go down the tubes. What doesn't happen: X never starts No error messages get posted to dmesg no log is generated in

What about the Asus M2N-SLI Deluxe motherboard? It has 7 SATA ports, supports ECC memory, socket AM2, generally looks very attractive for my home storage server. Except that it, and the nvidia nForce 570-SLI it''s built on, don''t seem to be on the HCL. I''m hoping that''s just "yet", not reported yet. Anybody run Solaris on it? Or at least on any

Hey All, Sometimes we are running into issues with calls randomly being disconnected. We have a couple of phones is in a remote office. We have a PIX-to-PIX VPN setup between the offices. I know neither of these devices provide QOS but we usually don't run into any problems. I notice this problem when we are in a conference call with one of the employees at the remote office and a

A little back story: I have a Norco DS-1220, a 12 bay SATA box, it is connected to eSATA (SiI3124) via PCI-X two drives are straight connections, then the other two ports go to 5x multipliers within the box. My needs/hopes for this was using 12 500GB drives and ZFS make a very large & simple data dump spot on my network for other servers to rsync to daily & use zfs snapshots for
