similar to: pagecache corruption on Tyan S3870

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

I have a Tyan S3870 (K855A) motherboard which I would like to perform a burn in test with. lm_sensors needs a kernel module compiled to be support this motherboard's sensors. The instructions, for compiling the module, by tyan (ftp://ftp.tyan.com/software/lms/3870.sensors.conf) match closely with the instructions I found here (http://www.howtoforge.com/kernel_compilation_centos). I

Hi folks, an Asterisk (www.asterisk.org) box will be built with the following specs and I wanted to know if CENTOS has a built process/config/parameter/special distro to target the AMD Opteron Dual Core plataform: 2 amd opteron 265 dual core 1.8 Ghz 2mb l2 cache 2x1024 ocz c2-6400 dual channel gold GX XTC 2 Seagate 16mb cache 300 GB barracuda 7200 drives another 2 Seagate 500 GB 16mb cache

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 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

Was wondering if anyone has any luck with the Tyan s4985 motherboard, I had loaded up the latest 5.4 release and in installed most everything that I wanted but when I loaded it up, as in processor wise it would lock up. Funny thing I could still ssh to it but not do a su - or anything from the console. I think it is kernel related and tried the previous kernel but it still exhibited the same

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 want to know if I buy a Tyan Transport GX28 (B2881) will it work with a TDM400 card? As the expansion slots are only (2) 64-bit 133/100MHz PCI-X. I never tried PCI 2.2 compliant card in a PCI-X slot so I don't know if it can even fit in the slot and if it does will it be seen? Thanks Martin Roy

We're having problems with FreeBSD 5.4, 6.0, and 6.1 and an ICP Vortex GDT8546RZ 4 port SATA RAID card in a Tyan S2460 system with dual AMD Athlon MP 1600+ CPUs. We do not have any problems with this configuration under FreeBSD 4.11, and we have the same ICP cards in Tyan based Opterion system (S2882 and S4882) run with out problems under FreeBSD 5.4 and 6.1. We can reproduce the problem on

We are using CentOS-4.3 (x86_64) with Opteron servers, and noticed a problem with cpuspeed: If we reboot by doing "# reboot" or similar from a shell, the boot will hang not long after cpuspeed starts. The machine freezes: ctrl-alt-del doesn't work, and only pressing the reset button or a power cycle will restart the machine. If we reboot from power-up or by pressing the reset

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

My setup is as follows: Motherboard: Tyan S2895 CPU: Two Opteron 275s Memory: 4 GB Disk: Three 250 GB SATA drives attached to a 3Ware 9500S-4LP RAID card Video: Nvidia GeForce 7800 The only hardware that I have added to the motherboard is the 3Ware card and the Nvidia card. The disks are configured as a RAID 5 array, and the machine boots from this array. I installed CentOS 4.2 x86 on this

Hi all, This is not really a libvirt issue but I'm hoping some of the smart folks here will know more about this problem... We have noticed when running some HPC applications on our OpenStack (libvirt+KVM) cloud that the same application occasionally performs much worse (4-5x slowdown) than normal. We can reproduce this quite easily by filling pagecache (i.e. dd-ing a single large file to

Hi, I was wondering about the ARC and its interaction with the VM pagecache... When a file on a ZFS filesystem is mmaped, does the ARC cache get mapped to the process'' virtual memory? Or is there another copy? -Manoj

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 have a Tyan Thunder K8HM (S3892) motherboard and I am trying to get lm_sensors to work with it. The problem is that I am getting conflicting information. The source for lm_sensors says not to compile the modules for the 2.6 kernel. The information from Tyan says that I need to compile the modules if my kernel is less than 2.6.12. Has anyone here configured lm_sensors for this motherboard?

Trying to get cpu temps from lm_sensors for a Tyan s4985 motherboard, just installed centos 5.4. Tyan release some lm_sensors conf files and other information which I have done, but I am not getting any cpu temps. I was wondering if anyone out there was running this board and if you have gotten temps working for your cpu, here is my output...Thanks in advance. w83627hf-isa-0c00 Adapter: ISA

I tried updating the BIOS on my K8WE (S2895) yesterday to 1.03, but after the update, FreeBSD (RELENG_6 dated March 26) would randomly freeze after booting. As I was updating from v1.01, I suspect it may be the updates to the nVidia SATA firmware that caused the issue, as things generally froze shortly after the background fsck processed kicked in (with, obviously, the exception of the first

We've had a spate of these lately - about 3 or 4 boxes. I have a feeling we just got a bad run of motherboards, but thought I'd try to get some feedback. These are servers running with the Tyan Thunder K8SD (dual core AMD's, S2882 model). They have three onboard NIC's, two Broadcom gig NIC's BCM5704C's and an Intel 82551QM which is a 10/100 board. We use the

Hi Everybody, Does anyone could install CentOS 4.4 on Tyan Teledo i3010w (S5197) successfully ? without any kernel parameter when boot up. I haven't buy it yet. But I want to make sure it works with CentOS 4.4. Thanks. Ceg Ryan -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:
