 Hi,
   We have made some significant changes in the focus of Freed.in
 for the 2008 event, having chosen to look at the entire
 knowledge ecosystem, and the role of the free flow of
 information in it. We have spent quite some time thinking
 about this, and a draft document is available online:
 http://wiki.linux-delhi.org/cgi-bin/twiki/view/Freed2008/ConceptDoc

 Please do take a look at it, and comment on this list, or
 preferably edit the document directly. Time is of the
 essence, so that we ask that if you wish to comment on it,
 please do so forthwith.

like Fred, Nagarjuna, Atul Chitnis and Indranil.

[ilugd] Intel HT

2007-12-15 Thread Yashpal Nagar
Hi All

On a HP blade BL460 G1 server where there is no option to disable the 
hyper threading in BIOS. The only options it has is -

Advance - processor Options -
 \-- HW prefether
 \--Adjacent Sector Prefetch
 \-- No-Execute Memory 
Protection
 \-- Inter (R) 
Virtualization Technology

BIOS version is I15 05/01/07, Called HP who told to upgrade Firmware but 
appeared to be unsure whether upgrading would really fix. Current 
firmware version also is not very old.
There is a application hosted on these boxes which requires the 
hyperthreading to be turned off.

I tried to disable HT by putting the noht keyword in the kernel 
argument line in grub.conf
## grub.conf
...
title Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES (2.6.9-42.ELsmp)
   root (hd0,0)
   kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.9-42.ELsmp ro root=LABEL=/ noht rhgb quiet
   initrd /initrd-2.6.9-42.ELsmp.img
...
##

but it did't work,  Blades have 2 Xeon 2.33 Ghz processors, appearing as 
4 in the OS,  /proc/cpuifo clearly tells processor is definitely HT 
capable.

flags   : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge 
mca cmov pat pse36 clflush dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss ht tm syscall 
lm pni monitor ds_cpl est tm2 cx16 xtpr
cpu cores   : 2

is there any other way around?

Regards,
Yash

But its dual core capable as you can see in above mentioned cpu cores field.
And you mentioned you've 2 processors, so 2 * 2 = 4 :) .

Disabling HT from BIOS doesn't remove listing of 'ht' in /proc/cpuinfo which
is queried using CPUID instruction, instead it just wipes off the logical
processor's entry from the SMP table it presents to OS, though not sure on
this.

Having the same issue on Ubuntu 7.10.

Would recommend that you log on the Wine HQ  website and vote for Tally.

Considering the number of potential users it should be possible to garner a
large number of votes.

why not make it truly open - allowing edits without a login? And it

My 2paisa worth:
Some versions of Tally run directly under Linux and reasonably
supported by Tally. Although they say only RHEL but I have seen Tally
being run under Ubuntu and CentOs.
