How about FreeBSD? First, it need the driver for serveraid. Next, it need the raid management tools. This includes the raid monitors/reporting tools and raid recovery tools (to rebuild the array when hard disk fails). Patrick __________________________________ Yahoo!

I'd checked my dmesg log and seen atapci0: Intel ICH2.... Controller ata0: .... channel ata1: .... channel but no ad0, ad1 drives. There are two identical Seagate ST340014A 40G drives, both on primary channel, and one NEC CDRW as secondary slave. When booting, kernel trying to detect DMA mode available and i got ata1-master: .... error .. status 7f ... This clear enought, as no device at ata1-master present. CDRW detected successfully as acd0, and I was able to run "Fixit" from live CD filesystem. I'd tried play with hw.ata.ata_dma, hw.ata.atapi_dma, hw.ata.wc values in loader (set all these =0) without result. I never try to install any freebsd on this machine before. Windows work with both drives excellently. Any ideas?

Prices are similar. http://www.newegg.com/ProductSort/SubCategory.asp?SubCategory=32 My vote is to abandon Windows XP, and, for that matter, MS office. OpenOffice is really becoming a formidable contender, and its price is right. Depending on which VBA you mean (is this the Visual Basic purchased separately, or the Visual Basic for Applications that came packaged with Office, a different animal), there are interpreters for Basic available for *nix environments; but more powerful programming languages are more common. People often originally learned Basic as a simple way to get a specific task done, but MS has lost this concept, rolling their programming language into an all-encompassing beast of a package they call .NET. Now, to get even a simple computational result, you have to perform all this overhead. *nix has many compilers that remain simple to use. MS really shot themselves in the foot with that one, didn't they? If you feel you must be on the bleeding edge, then be sure to avoid Windows XP home. It doesn't have a full complement of networking components. You may not need it today, but someday you might. The hardware you spec'd should run freeBSD fine. Check on an option to purchase the computer without an OS, sometimes this is cheaper. Be wary of win-modems (soft modems) and more recently, win-printers (soft printers). These depend on part of the firmware being available in the OS, which means they only work with recent versions of Windows. Many Win-modems have been ported to Linux, notably the ones based on the Lucent chipset. Win-printers haven't been so fortunate. You can usually recognize these from the specs, since they don't list support for PCL, postscript, or other printer language in their specs. These are not wise purchases. Harold.

There doesn't seem to be any specific problem. I have a slightly lower resolution (1680x1050; sorry I don't know the marketing code), and that installed with no problems at all. Strangely, Linux had problems recognizing the format. Greg -- When replying to this message, please copy the original recipients.

The hardware list indicates Specialix SI/XIO/SX multiport serial cards when googling specialix, I get "perle" and find the SX adapter card will support 8 to 32 devices in 8 port jumps. Can anyone confirm that perle SX with 24 ports actually works without any dicking around? My rocketport experiences have left me gun shy on throwing any more money out.

I get sound but am not able to adust the volume level. So far the following apps have shown this problem: MPlayer Xine XMMS KMix Noatun (no sound at all so may be different issue) Kaboodle I am running FreeBSD 5.4/KDE 3.2.4 with a Sound Blaster Live! sound card. My sndstat: pcm0: at io 0xb800 irq 11 kld snd_emu10k1 (4p/2r/4v channels duplex default) so the card is recognized. I have adjusted the virtual channels in sysctl.conf and the sndstat shows there are 4v chanels. I have both esound and arts. Thought this may be an issue but both are dependencies of KDE-Multimedia So far I have tried the following: 1) Updating ports and ran portmanager. No effect. 2) Changed KControl->Sound System to use the following in all combinations: Autodetect Threaded OSS OSS Full Duplex /dev/dsp0.0 /dev/dspW0.0 /dev/dsp0.1 /dev/dspW0.1 No avail. 3) Tried OSS drivers instead of FreeBSD native. Could not initialize the card. 4) Rebuilt both esound and arts. No effect I have googled this yet cannot find any post with similar issue (except one in which the onboard card was not deactivated. I do not have an onboard). The only other thing I could think of is to update the whole system in buildworld. Not really excited about this option as everything else is working great (don't want to mess with it). I use this as my primary desktop so I don't want to be down for that long. Anyone have any ideas or a direction to point me in?

So far everything works fine, I have not measured performance yet, but roughly one 4400+ core is 20% better than 3000+ from FFT-like floating point computations (double precision). I am used to run micromagnetic simulations (OOMMF), computationally intensive tasks consuming about 100Mb memory in my case. There is no much performance benefit in upgrade from 3000+ to 4400+, however 1Mb cache for each core, comparing with 512K cache, is pretty noticeable, especially when I run 2 tasks at the same time. What I did: 1) BIOS upgrade of my Abit AV8 matherboard to the latest v2.4 (http://www.abit.com.tw/cpu_support/amd-athlonX2-t.htm), despite the instructions I did not do CMOS reset 2) recompiled and installed 5.4-STABLE kernel with "options SMP", then I tested it with old single core CPU 3) cpu replacement dmesg: CPU: AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4400+ (2247.42-MHz K8-class CPU) Origin = "AuthenticAMD" Id = 0x20f32 Stepping = 2 Features=0x178bfbff Features2=0x1 AMD Features=0xe2500800,LM,3DNow+,3DNow> Hyperthreading: 2 logical CPUs real memory = 1073676288 (1023 MB) avail memory = 1025105920 (977 MB) ACPI APIC Table: FreeBSD/SMP: Multiprocessor System Detected: 2 CPUs cpu0 (BSP): APIC ID: 0 cpu1 (AP): APIC ID: 1 ..... /Alexander Konovalenko +46-8-5537-8142 (office) +46-7-3752-2116 http://daemon.nanophys.kth.se/~kono Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) Nanostructure Physics Department, Albanova Roslagstullsbacken 21 10691 Stockholm Sweden From owner-freebsd-hardware@FreeBSD.ORG Wed Sep 21 10:15:54 2005 Return-Path: X-Original-To: freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org Delivered-To: freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id A00D216A41F for ; Wed, 21 Sep 2005 10:15:54 +0000 (GMT) (envelope-from kometen@gmail.com) Received: from zproxy.gmail.com (zproxy.gmail.com [64.233.162.193]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id EA19D43D49 for ; Wed, 21 Sep 2005 10:15:51 +0000 (GMT) (envelope-from kometen@gmail.com) Received: by zproxy.gmail.com with SMTP id 40so149024nzk for ; Wed, 21 Sep 2005 03:15:51 -0700 (PDT) DomainKey-Signature: a=rsa-sha1; q=dns; c=nofws; s=beta; d=gmail.com; h=received:message-id:date:from:reply-to:to:subject:cc:in-reply-to:mime-version:content-type:content-transfer-encoding:content-disposition:references; b=ASPuE07fMBT4hZW5dk9bHauaDjXdyHeYcBqePoPIr4yuB+D1W8r+DUu4YB5wdzZDXsKTMmBLm+ItYYtLvaQAzv4HZHEF4+nUfrXaxx/MgGG6aqqvJyYzdDImtWbdb/wB63n98pbCandx75gQM8/9XhIpNPIa4ECcm8l+4rh9QUg= Received: by 10.54.36.79 with SMTP id j79mr2357650wrj; Wed, 21 Sep 2005 03:15:50 -0700 (PDT) Received: by 10.54.145.18 with HTTP; Wed, 21 Sep 2005 03:15:50 -0700 (PDT) Message-ID: Date: Wed, 21 Sep 2005 12:15:50 +0200 From: Claus Guttesen To: kono@kth.se In-Reply-To: <200509211147.17279.kono@kth.se> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Content-Disposition: inline References: <200509211147.17279.kono@kth.se> Cc: freebsd-amd64@freebsd.org, freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org Subject: Re: Dual core AMD64 4400+ X2 works fine on Abit AV8 X-BeenThere: freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list Reply-To: kometen@gmail.com List-Id: General discussion of FreeBSD hardware List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Wed, 21 Sep 2005 10:15:54 -0000 > Recently I have upgraded my "old" AMD64 3000+ 1.8Ghz (running 5.4-STABLE > amd64) to dual core AMD64 4400+ X2 2.2Ghz. >=20 > So far everything works fine, I have not measured performance yet, but > roughly one 4400+ core is 20% better than 3000+ from FFT-like floating po= int > computations (double precision).

The gigabit NIC (vge0) on Abit AV8 did not work well when I got this matherboard at work, so I disabled this interface in the BIOS and use PCI NIC (fxp0) instead. The problem was that after 3-4 days after boot vge0 suddenly reports "no carrier" and the only way to bring it back was to reboot again. My recent AMD64 X2 upgrade followed with BIOS upgrade (to v2.4) and apparently vge0 was enabled again. Then after couple of days I noticed high CPU (both cores) load: --------------------------------------------- systat: /0 /1 /2 /3 /4 /5 /6 /7 /8 /9 /10 Load Average ||||||||||||| /0 /10 /20 /30 /40 /50 /60 /70 /80 /90 /100 root irq22: pcm XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX --------------------------------------------- vmstat -i: interrupt total rate irq1: atkbd0 27286 0 irq0: clk 204987922 1000 irq6: fdc0 9 0 irq8: rtc 26234430 127 irq12: psm0 1967122 9 irq14: ata0 46 0 irq18: fxp0 6270446 30 irq20: atapci0 1760077 8 irq22: pcm0 vge0 918487906 4481 irq23: fwohci0 1 0 Total 1159735245 5658 --------------------------------------------- top -S: PID USERNAME PRI NICE SIZE RES STATE C TIME WCPU CPU COMMAND 34 root -80 -199 0K 16K CPU1 1 214:29 98.05% 98.05% irq22: pcm0 I am not sure if there is a conflict between sound device pcm0 and vge0 but audio output generates low frequency noise, I tried to unload sound module but it did not work reporting "device busy". Probably I can solve this problem by rebooting and disabling vge0 in BIOS but I have two simulations running for couple of days and have no wish to interrupt them. My question is, how can I stop this irq22 process safely? Is it OK to just kill it?
