Re: Adding tg3 into a 2.6.12 kernel

When I installed linux-image-2.6.12-1-amd64-k8-smp, it was already there :), so you don't have to do anything. So both my big concerns where solved in one go, the first one being support for LSI MegaRaid SATA, which requires megaraid_mbox. /Johan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Re: SATA RAID5 adaptor other than 3ware? Thanks alot!
Randall J. Parr wrote: Soenke von Stamm wrote: Ok, thanks to all you guys, I have found the new LSI MegaRAID 300-8x to fit my needs most closely. They are becoming available now and I have enough time to validate one in another soon-to-arrive GX28. It has the connectors on the back side, but it's short enough and it seems to be a decent performer (judging from the Areca card http://www.tweakers.net/reviews/557 which uses the same XOR hardware - I don't trust the Areca hardware though (fan) and have very good experiences with LSI for years now). Unfortunately the MegaRAID 300-4x doesn't seem to be out yet but the price difference is a minor issue. Nice feat is support of NCQ btw, got four NCQ disks on my desk already :-) Please let us know if the 300-8x does, in fact, provide similar performance to the Areca. I had been looking at the Areca (because of, in part, the review you mentioned) but have been a little leary. I have had very good experience with LSI MegaRAID with SCSI and would like to try the 300-8x (if performance IS as described). I chose the LSI because I couldn't find anyone here in the UK that sells the Arcea or the Tekram variant (perhaps they are the same, don't know). When it comes to performance I'm more than happy. The card is installed in a Tyan 2885 MB (PCI-X slot, of course :) ). Previously I had an Adaptec 2410 (66MHz, 64 bit) and the performance difference between these two controllers is huge. Ok, the test I did is VERY inscientific but I got the performance boost I wanted. The test was to copy a big file (700MB) from one stripe to another on the same controller (which means each controller had 4 drives connected to it and configured as two RAID-0 stripes). The file system used on the Adaptec was Reiserfs and on the LSI XFS. The copy took 13s on the Adaptec and a whopping 1.3 on the LSI. Guess if I was bouncing around the walls :). This can of course be a combination of controller/file system, which is what I suspect. Is Reiserfs known to be slow? Also... I checked their drivers page but do not see a Debian and/or generic Linux driver. Do you know one is available? The LSI MegaRAID 300-8x is supported from kernel 2.6.10 and forward. It uses the megaraid_mbox driver which of course means it's a small hell to install Debian when that controller is the only one in your system you have any disks connected to. Debian installer uses kernel 2.6.8 which does not support the card (although it loads a driver called megaraid). So to summarise, the card works ok and is fast but can be problematic to install Debian on. /Johan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Installation problems.
Hi all, I've have a dual Opteron system (MB Tyan 2885) which has a Broadcom ethernet interface (the infamous tg3 driver). I've also installed a SATA raid card (a very nice LSI 300-8x, uses the megaraid_mbox driver). My problem is this: how on earth do I install Debian on this system? If I boot unstable netinst I get ethernet working but not the raid system. Apparently a 2.6.11 kernel or newer is required for that. But Debian has removed the tg3 driver in that kernel. Seems to me that I can one or the other but not both. Suggestions anyone? /Johan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

RE: Install Report: Tyan Thunder K8S Pro / dual Opteron 250 / 2GB / SATA root
Title: Install Report: Tyan Thunder K8S Pro / dual Opteron 250 / 2GB / SATA root I have a Tyan K8W (2885) and having nothing but grief. My biggest problem right now is that the graphics card seems to get turned off by the kernel. After the grub message "Booting the kernel" absolutely nothing is displayed. It seems to boot fine though, can't check cause I haven't installed sshd, nor telnetd. So I wonder which graphics card do you use? I have a Leadtek FX5200 (AGPx8) which is the cheapest AGPx8 card I could find. Should I go for something more expensive. I would prefer NVidia but can go for a ATI as well. Just as long as it is compatible with a 2885 MB and is stable. /Johan From: David Dumas [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]Sent: Thu 30/09/2004 19:48To: debian-amd64@lists.debian.orgSubject: Install Report: Tyan Thunder K8S Pro / dual Opteron 250 / 2GB / SATA root Executive Summary:I didn't use the installer, rather I debootstrapped on a HDD and thenput it in the new machine. Unlike any of my previous debian-amd64installs, everything "just worked".Thanks debian-amd64 developers for all of your hard work, as this porthas come a long way!A Few Details:After rocky experiences installing debian-amd64 on Athlon64 boxen, Inevertheless decided to use it for my new computation server. Thismachine will be used for various long-runningcomputationally-intensive mathematical tasks. The specs are:Tyan Thunder K8S Pro (s2882) with BIOS 2.03Dual Opteron 2502 GB Kingston ECC/Registered PC3200 DDR RAMSamsung SP1213C 120GB SATA HDD(By the way, the BIOS version may be important here. Tyan's web sitesays that Opteron 250 support was only recently added, but thankfully2.03 has this feature.)I bootstrapped the installation rather than using a bootable CDROM; myprocedure was:1) Install HDD in working debian-amd64 box, partition and create filesystems.2) cdebootstrap from alioth3) chroot and apt-get miscellaneous utilities (scsi-tools, etc.)4) compile kernel with hardware support as listed on debian-amd64 K8mainboard compatibility list and "safe" options (e.g. no NUMA)5) edit fstab and other config files to reflect predictedconfiguration of new machine6) install GRUB7) transplant HDD into dual Opteron machine and boot8) apt-get more applications, recompile kernel with "optimal" settings(SMP, NUMA etc)The only hitch was that I left a "/dev/sdb" in fstab that needed to be"/dev/sda", and as a result fsck failed on boot. The root filesystemseemed stuck in readonly mode, so my solution was to add the kernelparameter "rw" and skip fsck on boot. I was then able to edit fstab.The K8 mainboard compatibility list was very helpful and all of theonboard hardware was supported immediately when I compiled a kernelwith the drivers listed there. Maybe, though, it would be good to adda list of XFree86 drivers for the onboard video where appropriate?The K8S Pro has builting ATI Rage/XL which works fine with the "ati"driver.Hardware monitoring with lm_sensors works well but really requires thecustom "sensors.conf" available from http://www.tyan.com.So far, I can definitely recommend this board/CPU combination for usewith debian-amd64. I will post an update if anything changessignificantly.-David--To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED]with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Problems installing gcc-3.4
Hi everybody, I've tried, and failed, to install gcc-3.4 with debian installer. I used the monolithic iso image (25/09/2004) and changed the directory to /gcc-3.4/ but it complained that it couldn't find any kernel-modules (2.6.8). Are gcc-3.4 and pure64 out of sync? I could install pure64 without any problems though and apt-get dist-upgrade to gcc-3.4. Another problem I have now, with gcc-3.4 installed, is that I can't install the nvidia drivers. I have downloaded the .run package and tried with ./NVIDIA --kernel-source-path /usr/src/kernel-source-2.6.8 but it complains about cc version. Apperently the kernel is compiled with another version so how do get around this problem? Best regards, Johan
RE: Problems installing gcc-3.4
Title: Re: Problems installing gcc-3.4 Yes I know it is possible to compile with gcc-3.4 but I don't know how. I read somewhere (don't remember where though) how this is done but can't for my life remember how. /Johan From: Thomas J.

I (temporarily) downgraded the kernel to 2.6.7You can also opt to compile the nVidia-module with gcc 3.4. The defaultfor cc is gcc 3.3 and as of 2.6.8-4 the AMD64 kernel is compiled with gcc3.4 thus causing a mismatch, I think.regards,Thomas

Update screwes up bios (or something)
Hi all, I'm using the gcc-3.4 version of amd64 and have just installed gnome-desktop and x-window-system. I also installed the nvidia drivers. The installation went fine but when I try to start x (startx) the screen goes blank and won't recover. So only resort was reboot but still a blank screen. I had to clear the bios first to the display back! Ok, boot again, got the grub menu, booted 2.6.8 smp and I see the usualgrub messages, then thescreen goes blank again! It's like it's turning off the video card, which is btw, a Leadtek FX5200 card. The system is totally unusable right now. Has anyone else encountered this? System spec: Tyan 2885 2 Opteron 244 4 x Kingston DDR 333 256MB Adaptec 2940UW Floppy NEC DVD rom (scsi) Plextor Plexwriter (scsi) HP DAT 24i (scsi) Fujitsi HD 17 GB (IDE) Leadtek FX5200 So as you can see there is nothing fancy nor brand new in the box. /Johan
