Hey all. it's me again. heh. =)
Thanks for all the help with my problem with those kernel panics on my BP6.
Last night we discovered,
isolated and had solved the pesky and annoying problem within about 10
minutes. It was the BIOS!!
I bought that board brand new and it came with the PW bios. Which as I was
later told, was
recalled for reasons of linux incompatability. I upgraded to the NJ bios and
SMP works great.
I do have a few questions since some of you are also running almost the same
setup as I am. What kind of
temperature do your celerons run at? My twp 500mhz 's have been acting
really wierd. When I run
linux for a while then reboot and go to the bios to check the temp, and it's
great. (mid 30's to 40 C)
BUT... if I let it sit at the temperature screen, the temperature skyrockets
within a matter of minutes
to anywhere from high 40's to mid 50's! I have no idea what it is. I have
pretty big heat sinks on them
and it's wierd that they are so low in temp when i'm actually running an OS
and go really high when I'm not.
Another thing. I noticed this with that PW bios and now also with this NJ
bios that Linux is only picking up
64MB of my 128MB ram (one stick). I'm planning on adding another 64mb or
possibly another 128mb.
All 128MB are picked up at the bios screen, but not in linux. Is this
another bios flaw? And, if so, what
is the way to get around it? Someone had mentioned an append line for LILO.
Anyone know the
proper syntax, or have another opinion?
Anyone know of software for linux to check CPU temp? ( if it's possible or
not. just wondering)
Any ideas? Thanks for all the help.
Sincerely
Jonathan
