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

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

Hello all..... I would like to know if anyone here has had good experience with this Supermicro motherboard.....http://supermicro.com/products/motherboard/P4/E7221/P8SCT.cfm I am thinking about using it in an entry level mail and file server with a 3ware card and 200 GB SATA drives. Cost is a factor here otherwise I would go for an Opteron board instead. JC

I am trying to install CentOS to a server that has a Tyan S2891 motherboard, 2 Opteron 875 Dual Cores and 2GB of RAM. I have been able trying to install over a network but the tg3 driver will not load. I then installed from a DVD and on rebooting after the installation I cannot get the network drivers to load and the RAID controller in the PCI slot is not available. It seems that when I do an

I've been checking out this and like the looks of it. http://www.tyan.com/products/html/gt24b2891.html I was told the onboard SATA RAID controller can only be used by windows. However, others have told me that there is no problem using it with linux. Anyone used the Tyan Transport GT24 (TYAN Thunder K8SRE s2891 motherboard)? Good choice for a CentOS server? Thanks, Josh

Hi everyone, I'm looking into setting up a SATA hardware raid, probably 5 to use with CentOS 4. I chose hardware raid over software mostly because I like the fact that the raid is transparent to the OS. Does anyone know of any SATA controllers that are well tested for this sort of usage? From what I can tell from googling, this is more or less where RHEL stands: Red Hat Enterprise Linux

We have been seeing failures with CentOS 4.4 i386 (not x86_64) running compute-intensive programs on Tyan K8SRE (S2891) Tymotherboards, running Opteron 265's. This motherboard is used in the Tyan barebones box GT24 (B2881). We have these boards populated with 8GB of RAM, consisting of mixed 2GB and 1GB sticks. The symptom is that CPU-bound programs (may or may not be related to floating

Dear list, is anyone using a Tyan Thunder K8HM (S3892) with Xen? Or can recommand a (different) mainboard for: - dual dual-core opteron - about 16GB of RAM - two Gbit ports (for GNBD) - one (or more) SATA ports (system disk) - at last one PCI-X 133 slot.

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

Hi, Whats' the best motherboard you ever ran CentOS on? --------- Don't read this unless you have lots o' spare time, and please, no flamers or kook-jobs with wierd attitudes, this is just plain old hardware as it relates to centos talk -no politic or mean folks. Background (why I ask about centos-friendly hardware): As I order alot of servers, I have alot of vendors telling me

Dear Sirs. It seems to me a never ending story. We run a box with a TYAN Thunder 2500 Dual SMP mainboard, 2GB ECC Tyan certified memory, AMI Enterprise 1600 RAID adapter and additional Intel 1000/Pro server type (64 bit) GBit LAN NIC. With FreeBSD 4.8 this was stable, but to achive this state was really hard! It is a story similar to that what happend when we changed towards FreeBSD

Since good server designs have come up in the past, I wanted to point out a "low-cost" server option that has good I/O, and the vendor offers _your_choice_ of not only Fedora Core or Red Hat Enterprise Linux, but _also_ CentOS _shipped_ with it! IN-A-NUTSHELL ... Starting at just over $750, you can get a single Socket-939 Opteron 1xx (dual-core is an option) system with up to 4GiB of

Hi everyone, I''m getting the following boot error, when installing xen-unstable on a dual opteron 246 machine, with a Tyan 2881 Motherboard, 4GB RAM, SATA Drive and ReiserFS filesystem. The machine is a Fedora Core 4. I installed the i386 FC4 on the dual opteron, I didn''t want the 64bit yet. All my binaries are 32bit and I''m compiling it all with 32bit too. After

Hi folks, we are using a Tyan TK8W 2885 Mainboard (latest BIOS) w/ 2 Dual Core Opteron 280EE and 8GB of RAM (4GB per Socket). Furthermore we run CentOS 5.1 w/ Xen 3.2.1. (build from SRPM). We also tried 3.2.0. I tried both, the CentOS 5.1 Xen Kernel as well as the latest RHEL 5.2 Kernel but we do not get two NUMA domains as we (in my opinion) are supposed to. Do we need to recompile anything?

Hi, I'm running samba server on board and client is windows 7. I did below steps for performance tests. + format /dev/sda1 with ext4 + mount the drive in server as mentioned in [media] path of /etc/samba/smb.conf + created a root password $ smbpasswd -a root + 1Gb ethernet interface from board. + map the driver in windows + did a 4gb robocopy + read got 13MBps and write got 105MBps
