Re: xen on amd64 on dual core amd box
Ciao Alex Samad, nel tuo messaggio dicevi: I have just tried installing xen amd64 on a dual core machine, and I get timer error's filling up my syslog, is this normal ? Are you using a kernel 2.6.16? It was the case a while ago, with newer kernels it should be ok. -- Best Regards, Jack Linux User #264449 Powered by Fedora Core 6 Xubuntu (x86) Powered by Debian Sid (ppc AMD64) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

MSI forum runs Debian amd64
Apparently, the MSI forum server runs Debian amd64. Cool, eh? -s Forwarded Message From: MSI HQ User to User Forum [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: New announcement: MSI will replace all servers. Date: Sun, 01 Apr 2007 09:38:11 -0400 Date: Sun, 01 Apr 2007 13:38:06 + X-Mailer: SMF Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Message-Id: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi guys, Finally MSI and the forum team reached an agreement. As you know the current forum server is incredibly fast. MSI has done some testing the last few days with new fileservers for LiveUpdate and downloading various stuff but they where unable to match the speed of the forum server. Because they noticed we do such a good job of running the forum, they wanted us to takeover all other servers and put everything on the forum server. This includes their marketting/support websites, fileservers and all other forums. We think our server can handle all this traffic with ease. Our current traffic is between 100~200GB each month, but we think our connection can handle all the traffic and should give better results. MSI thinks that the current server can do all their other traffic as well. It might slowdown the forum a little bit, but we expect no major problems. This move will happen beginning of the second quarter this year. Our forum server is build with this stuff: 2x Xeon 2.8GHz 2x 15000 RPM SCSI drive's in RAID1 (but we are going to add 2 more for RAID5 to gain about 275MB/s speed) 2x 1GB memory reg ecc Debian AMD64 with all the latest updates. Tests so far has shown that we can handle MSI's traffic of 27TB/month isn't a problem. So please test the speed of everything the first day of next quarter, we are moving bits and pieces that day and hope to recieve reports on the speed. There might be a nice supprice for the best reporter on how the move is going, but I'm not allowed what that will be. I will post shortly the email address that can be used to send in reports. [Edit]The move has been done. You can use this link to test the new servers: http://www.msi.eu Also, you can sent in speed reports here: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe from these announcements, login to the forum and uncheck Receive forum announcements and important notifications by email. in your profile.

gcc-4.1
Hi Has anyone noticed that gcc is older in experimental for amd64 than for other architectures. It seems to me like dependencies that go in circles. If so, does anyone have an explanation? I wanted to compile the newest version of openoffice but I need this version of gcc for that. Regards Gudjon -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

out of memory
System; two dual-opteron, amd64 etch, 16GB ram, raid1. Heavy computation (memory either 1750 mb or 3750 mb per node) started with high % cpu usage and little usage of memory. Then, the two factors inverted, the HD led became lighted without interruption. The computation then closed incomplete with the warning message in the output file; *** ARMCI INFO The application attempted to allocate a shared memory segment of 38731776 bytes in size. This might be in addition to segments that were allocated succesfully previously. The current system configuration does not allow enough shared memory to be allocated to the application. This is most often caused by: 1) system parameter SHMMAX (largest shared memory segment) being too small or 2) insufficient swap space. Please ask your system administrator to verify if SHMMAX matches the amount of memory needed by your application and the system has sufficient amount of swap space. Most UNIX systems can be easily reconfigured to allow larger shared memory segments, see http://www.emsl.pnl.gov/docs/global/support.html In some cases, the problem might be caused by insufficient swap space. *** 0:allocate: failed to create shared region : -1 0:allocate: failed to create shared region : -1 Last System Error Message from Task 0:: Invalid argument 0: ARMCI aborting -1 (0x). 0: ARMCI aborting -1 (0x). system error message: Invalid argument 3:SigIntHandler: interrupt signal was caught: 2 3:SigIntHandler: interrupt signal was caught: 2 Last System Error Message from Task 3:: No such file or directory 3: ARMCI aborting 2 (0x2). 3: ARMCI aborting 2 (0x2). system error message: No such file or directory 1:SigIntHandler: interrupt signal was caught: 2 1:SigIntHandler: interrupt signal was caught: 2 Last System Error Message from Task 1:: No such file or directory 1: ARMCI aborting 2 (0x2). 1: ARMCI aborting 2 (0x2). system error message: No such file or directory 2:SigIntHandler: interrupt signal was caught: 2 2:SigIntHandler: interrupt signal was caught: 2 Last System Error Message from Task 2:: No such file or directory 2: ARMCI aborting 2 (0x2). 2: ARMCI aborting 2 (0x2). system error message: No such file or directory Creating: host=deb64, user=francesco, file=/home/francesco/nwchem50/bin/nwchem, port=57429 4: interrupt(1) WaitAll: No children or error in wait?

I wanted to compile the newest version of openoffice but I need this version of gcc for that. gcc-4.1 is in testing and unstable for quite a while, and is the default compiler for testing/etch. openoffice.org is also available in testing/etch, and I have no idea why it would suddenly require a newer gcc. I have no idea why you have a problem with this. Kurt -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Did you read about how to increate the shmmax parameter, and did you change it? It actually tells you how to change that setting. It still defaults to 32 MB, and you tried to allocate more (36 MB). Anyway, use /etc/sysctl.conf to set it. Kurt -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The packages in experimental don't seem to build for all architectures - another example is gnome-applets, which has been built for i386 only. Sometimes it is because of failure to build on that architecture. Sometimes it just doesn't build. Look at the per-package build logs at buildd.debian.org for more information. -- rob andrews :: pgp 0x01e00563 :: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
