I'm in the process of pricing out a new system for next year, but I'll be going with a dual-CPU board. Either the Tyan S8212 line or the S2937 (Thunder n3600T) line. Or maybe a SuperMicro H8DA6+-F board. I'll have to see whether those boards use the same chipset. (I have a 3ware 16-port SATA card that is currently the bane of my 2.6.18 kernel existence. Horrid performance under the default 2.6.18 kernel and I haven't gotten around to building a custom kernel with the 3ware drivers.) As for when RHEL 6 will ship... well if it's based off of FC12 which came out back in mid-Nov, then we'll probably see RHEL in 1st half of 2010 and it'll be based on 2.6.31. But if they decide to base off of FC13 (which isn't scheduled until May 2010) then I'd guess late-2010. (RHEL 5 was based on FC 6. FC 6 shipped in late Oct 2006, RHEL 5 shipped in middle Mar 2007.) Of course, nothing is final until it ships. The only concrete information from last September was that FC11 and FC12 would have tech previews for RHEL 6. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Yeah I know fedora core 12 works well along with ubuntu 8.04, thats what I am running now with later kernel, I just like to run centos on my production servers...neither of the latter exhibit the same condition that I saw with centos5.4. I have updated the bios to the latest 2.07 but had already loaded ubuntu 8.04 and running that right now :( since I needed to get something working, may wait till rhel6 comes along and switch when that sees the light of day, although I'm not sure when that might be...lol On Tue, Jan 5, 2010 at 12:30 PM, Thomas Harold wrote: > On 1/4/2010 10:09 AM, Tom Bishop wrote: > > Was wondering if anyone has any luck with the Tyan s4985 motherboard, I > > had loaded up the latest 5.4 release and in installed most everything > > that I wanted but when I loaded it up, as in processor wise it would > > lock up.

I updated to 2.07 is that the latest?

[CentOS] Centos 5.4 and TYAN s4985 motherboard....
Was wondering if anyone has any luck with the Tyan s4985 motherboard, I had loaded up the latest 5.4 release and in installed most everything that I wanted but when I loaded it up, as in processor wise it would lock up. Funny thing I could still ssh to it but not do a su - or anything from the console. I think it is kernel related and tried the previous kernel but it still exhibited the same symptom. The only thing I saw in the log was a message about a soft lockup on cpu0, there is a open bug for that but from the description doesn't appear to cause any issues.
