I have some machines here running the Oxygen May 2001 release, they run very well with no problems (thanks David!). Obviously I should upgrade to Oxygen 1.8.
I need to create some space here, so it’s time for these machines to fit into the rack with the others. I’m looking to replace the hardware with some 1U rack servers. I see rack servers available with embedded Intel PRO/1000 TX NICs, using the 82544 chip. Does anyone have experience running embedded 82544s (or other similar Intel chips) with LEAF? According to the Intel site these take the e1000.o driver. I don’t see one of these compiled for Oxygen, will the one in Charles’ 2.2.19 kernel work with Oxygen May 2001 (2.2.19 kernel) or with Oxygen 1.8 (2.2.20 kernel)? Also, these are SMP-capable boxes. I won’t order them with two processors for this application, but am I going to run into problems using a uniprocessor LEAF kernel on SMP-capable machines? Some other machines I’ve looked at are single-processor designs with embedded Intel PRO/100+ NICs (82559 chip). I guess these would be either eepro100.o or e100.o drivers. Are these machines a better choice? Obviously there’s more room for growth in the others, and the prices are not that different. I know this is different harwdware from the majority of LEAF installations, so if anyone knows about any other "gotchas" in LEAF on a rack server, I'd be grateful. Sorry for the dumb questions. Thanks in advance for any help/guidance! --Merrick Munday _________________________________________________________________ Chat with friends online, try MSN Messenger: http://messenger.msn.com _______________________________________________ Leaf-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-user
