Hey Steve, Any chance do you have a http reference config for the mx53, I have one of the original mx53loco's that I can't seem to get the sata portition of the config work correctly.. >>>The Beagle XM only has 512M and I keep on reading about the Panda >>>overheating and I live in a hot climate. >>According to sledge the Panda (with USB storage) also has issues with >>locking up under high network and storage load, probablly because both >>network and storage have to run off USB. This makes it a poor choice for >>an autobuilder. > > Yup. the Panda network and disk are attached via USB and not that fast > or reliable... btw: making sure: CONFIG_PL310_ERRATA_769419=y was enabled in the kernel and setting: vm.min_free_kbytes = 32768 in /etc/sysctl.conf Has really helped out the stability of gcc-testsuite/sbuild panda farm.. (and of course scheduling a reboot as soon as a 'kevent 2' error occurred.. ;) ) Regards, -- Robert Nelson http://www.rcn-ee.com/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
