similar to: Looking for motherboard/chipset experience, again

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

Hi all, my problem is probably common (I actually asked for help for a similar problem in the past), but I cannot find any solution. While I play with World of Warcraft my computer keep freezing (totally, I have to push the reset button). I have Kubuntu 8.04 64 Bits and Wine 1.1.2 (but the problems started with the 0.9.59 and all the versions afterward) on a an Intel Core 2 Duo E6700, 2GB RAM,

I''ve lucked into some big disks, so I''m thinking of biting the bullet (screaming loudly in the process) and superceding the SATA controllers on my motherboard with something that will work with hot-swap in Solaris. (did I mention before I''m still pissed about this?) I have enough to populate all 8 bays (meaning adding 4 disks to what I have now), so the 6 ports on the

While I wait for the Xen 3.0 Test CD to download, has anyone has luck using an Asus M2N32-SLI Deluxe motherboard (NVIDIA nForce 590 SLI MCP chipset)? The CPU is an AMD Athlon64 X2 3800+ AM2 w/ 2GB DDR2 533. The motherboard mostly works under Gentoo using kernel 2.6.18 with the "noapic" kernel boot option in my grub.conf file. The only major issue with the Gentoo kernel

I thought I wanted to set up my Solaris file-server as domain controller for my small home network, but the more I look at it the less I'm sure. Plus I'm having trouble doing it :-). I do plan to put my primary files (and other people's) on the server, for better safety (mirrored disks, and ZFS) and backup. I certainly want the logon transactions over the network to be encrypted,

Very early in my fileserver setup. I'm building a home fileserver running Solaris on an Opteron processor, 2GB ECC memory, motherboard SATA, two 400GB drives mirrored in a ZFS pool. Gigabit ethernet. My client system is my long-standing desktop box, windows XP Pro with 2GB non-ECC memory, 300GB SATA data drive, gigabit ethernet. The two systems are on a shelf next to each other, connected

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 am having problems with silent data corruption on (some) drives connected to an MCP55 SATA controller. I have two servers, both running RELENG_7_0/amd64. One has the 570 Ultra chipset, the other has 570 SLI. Both chipsets have the MCP55 SATA controller. The server with 570 Ultra chipset has a bunch of older 250GB SATA-150 drives hooked up to the MCP55 controller and it is working just fine.

Hi all, I have installed a centos 6.2 x86_64 box to use as a multimedia center. All works ok, except sound over hdmi using nvidia graphics card.

Me again. The ASUS P5N32-SLI motherboard in my new machine has dual NICs but CentOS has only detected one of them. I've tried rebooting with the network plugged in only to the second one, but kudzu still doesn't find it. Any suggestions?

My current home fileserver (running Open Solaris 111b and ZFS) has an ASUS M2N-SLI DELUXE motherboard. This has 6 SATA connections, which are currently all in use (mirrored pair of 80GB for system zfs pool, two mirrors of 400GB both in my data pool). I''ve got two more hot-swap drive bays. And I''m getting up towards 90% full on the data pool. So, it''s time to expand,

All, So I have started working with Solaris 10 at work a bit (I''m a Linux guy by trade) and I have a dying nfs box at home. So the long and short of it is as follows: I would like to setup a SATAII whitebox that uses ZFS as its filesystem. The box will probably be very lightly used, streaming media to my laptop and workstation would be the bulk of the work. However I do have quite a

Hi all... First of all, I'm new to this list. Thanks in advance for the help I surely will get here ;) I have installed a CentOS 5.2 64 bit on a computer, and I can't get it to boot. The box is a custom built computer, with this components: - ASUS P5N64 WS Pro motherboard (nForce 790i Ultra SLI) More details here:

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'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

Do we simply use a portion of the existing disks for this, or add two disks just for root? Use USB-2 flash as those 2 disks? And where does swap go? The default install in Osol 0811 (which is what I just upgraded my home NAS to) gives you a zfs root pool that

Using Centos 5.2 with Xen. I'm making a group of nodes behind an LVS load-director to perform computing services. Those nodes are only accessible from the LVS nodes (I'm using LVS NAT mode). Actually it's Xen virtual servers on the physical nodes behind the LVS boxes that I'm mostly concerned with. When you create a guest with virt-install, there's a vnc param and a vncport
