Re: dual opteron m/b: S2875ANRF vs. GA-7A8DW
I have a Gigabyte GA-7A8DW. Installs (sid-amd64-netinst.iso) and runs perfectly fine on Pure64/unstable. The EATX size caught me out and I had to get a bigger case. $ uptime 17:19:49 up 26 days, 14 min, 2 users, load average: 1.42, 0.53, 0.23 (not working too hard currently, but was compiling with make -j2 :-) The two PCI-X slots can be used as standard PCI slots. The only thing to watch for is to make sure the DDR is in the right slots, or it won't boot (at all). Hope this helps.

dual opteron m/b: S2875ANRF vs. GA-7A8DW
Hello! I'm hesitating over a choice of a dual opteron motherboard. Currently I consider two options: Tyan S2875ANRF http://tyan.com/products/html/tigerk8w_spec.html and Gigabyte GA-7A8DW http://tw.giga-byte.com/Server/Products/Products_ServerBoard_GA-7A8DW.htm They are quite similar (including a price ;) though there are some differences: 1. Form factor ATX vs. EATX (although Gigabyte claims "design to fit ATX chassis screw hole", and I think it will fit my middle-tower). 2. Tyan's board has Intel 82541EI GbE LAN controller on-board while Gigabyte's possess Broadcom BCM 5705 (which one is better?). 3. Tyan has 5 PCI slots, Gigabyte - 2 PCI-X and 1 PCI (currently I don't have any PCI-X devices). 4. Tyan has integrated Firewire controller (I use firewire sometimes, currently with PCI controller). With respect to the features, I would prefer Tyan's board. But as a brand I like Gigabyte better than Tyan: previously I've had some negative experience with Tyan, and for more than a year I have been very pleased by dual-athlon Gigabyte motherboard GA-7DPXDW-P. The motherboard is going to be used for intensive 24/7 computations. Of course, under Debian pure64. Please share your experience or suggestions.

Yes, but a better thing is to fix dchroot's / su's stupidity with a script (make this do_chroot): I don't understand. What should I do with this script? From the FAQ: You can make things slightly simpler even than this. Write a small shell script like the following, and place it in your PATH: eg. /usr/local/bin/do_dchroot [Use the new script from the mailing list] Make it executable: chmod 755 /usr/local/bin/do_dchroot Now create a symlink to this script from each command you want to run inside the chroot to this shell script: cd /usr/local/bin ln -s do_dchroot openoffice ln -s do_dchroot oowriter ln -s do_dchroot oocalc Now you can execute openoffice by simply typing openoffice or oowriter. -Peter -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Re: unstable fglrx 8.10.19?
A small correction to the previous message: I get the errors during modprobe only if I compile fglrx module using make-kpkg. If I go to /usr/src/modules/fglrx.. and run make.sh, then manually copy the fglrx.ko and run depmod -ae, the module loads without any errors.

Re: unstable fglrx 8.10.19?
I've followed the guide on the link that you gave me.

The write test completed fine but read&compare locked up my system. I repeated with a read-only test and again it locked up with an DMA timeout. Does anyone have the onboard Promise successfully in use on an Asus K8V board? +++ Goswin- Mine is the PDC20378 aka TX2 with 2SATA+PATA controlled by the sata_promise kernel module. The PDC20376 is probably very similar, maybe 133 vs 150 or something trivial. That should be listed as TX4/TX2 in the kernel config under low level scsi drivers. The TX4 is a 4SATA chip and uses the same driver as the TX2. The TX2 and TX4 were add-in cards using the PDC2037x chips. I built a kernel with the promise enabled and there were no problems. Maybe the K8 Motherboard List should list sata_promise not PDC2037x to be consistent. The Promise SATA is production code and aught to be working. PATA maybe not depending on the kernel, never did try.
