As a point of comparison, the d-i armel builds are ran on a machine with 3 gb of disk, 128 mb of ram (no swap), and 1 cpu. :) d-i daily builds are not particularly expensive. -- see shy jo signature.asc Description: Digital signature

FWIW, I do recall bad memory issues with zee, it's currently down to 16G of RAM, too. Kind regards Philipp Kern signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Fair enough. However, the machine has 32 CPUs and 32G of RAM, so even while used as a buildd, significant amounts of resources are probably just sitting idle. I see that it only has 72G of disk though (2x72G disks in RAID-1 config), however we could probably solicit donation of the disks needed or even convince DPL to throw some money at it. Hence the questions: 1. Is there any virtualization solution on zee which would allow us to run more than a single buildd on it? 2. If disks are the bottleneck, what are the part numbers for them? I guess that if we would get another two, we could simply make another RAID-1 volume out of that, to not interfere too much with existing setup? 3.

Re: cmd64x driver missing from Squeeze initrd
Hi, thanks for your answer. AFAICS the problem has shown up before, but no one filed a bug report by now. The thread [1] reports the problem and also has an lspci output of an affected machine. I cannot easily provide a patch, but I submitted report #610906 for the issue. Hope this helps a bit.

cmd64x driver missing from Squeeze initrd
Hi ML, I failed to install the Squeeze preview DVD on my Ultra 10 because the driver for the CMD646 IDE chipset is missing from the initrd. This problem has already been reported back in November [1]. Is there any incentive to fix this?
