[OT] Trouble with ECS K7S5A boards!
Hello I've been researching the K7S5A boards from ECS because I wanted to buy one. And I stumbled accross the text below. It seems that the board has problems running at CPU 133/RAM 133Mhz. Especially the T-bird 1400 seems a likely victim. Has anyone seen this behavior? Is it stable with Linux? Thanks Guy Member Rated: http://forum.ocworkbench.com/ocwbcgi/user_ratings_1.gif http://forum.ocworkbench.com/ocwb/icons/icon2.gif posted 06 November 2001 16:10 [Profile for MrAthlon] [Edit/Delete Post][Reply With Quote] FAQ 1.41 on K7S5A (M830) Data Corruption CONTENTS: PART 1: Overview PART 2: First things to check PART 3: The (suspected) cause and ?non-causes? of the problem PART 4: The (best-known) solution PART 5: Summary of testing and research PART 6: Revision History PART 1: Overview Problem: Some K7S5A (and M830) motherboards suffer from what appears to be a data corruption problem when used with certain CPU?s. The problem is common with Athlon 1.4 GHz processors, and is occasional with various Athlon CPU?s above 1GHz. The problem is much less common with Athlon XP processors. The problem has been reported (but has not been confirmed) at speeds under 1GHz. The problem appears to be limited to motherboards with the number 4 or higher on a small sticker by the PCI slots. Symptoms: Memtest86 Errors, 133/133 failures and problems, Crashes, Blue Screens, Windows Protection Errors, OS installation failures, corrupted CD burns, Windows Registry corruption, general data corruption, etc. (Note: It now appears that the CONFIGMG and ?Lost CMOS? problems are largely unrelated to this problem.) The Manufacturer?s statement on the problem: Please read here. PART 2: First things to check Q: How do I know if I?m effected by this problem? A: You may have system stability problems as outlined above. These can be hard to pin down, so download and run the Memtest86 program. (www.memtest86.com ) If you can run through all tests without any memory errors, you should not have the problem and you most likely have a rock-solid setup. When the K7S5A is working, it works great. (In rare cases, problems can still exist when Memtest86 does not report them. It is not yet known if these other problems are caused by a bad motherboard, or by some other cause.) Q: Memtest86 reports errors, but I still think my system is ?stable.? Do I really have a problem? A: It depends: A suggestion has been made that Memtest86 may not correctly report errors. This may be the case, or it may be that Memtest86 is just very good at finding errors. This is still under investigation. Most reports indicate that yes, this is a real problem if you have data on your hard drive, or process data on your computer that must be 100% correct. This pretty much includes anyone using the computer for serious work. Still, some users have Memtest86 errors and don't find it to be a problem. So, no, maybe it?s not much of a problem if you don?t have any data that is super important to you, and don?t mind the possible risk of crashes or data corruption. Also, if you only have a few errors (100) your chances of data corruption may be very small. For some users, this may be acceptable. For others, a system with no known hardware errors is very desirable. Q: Explain exactly how the system can seem so stable when data corruption is occurring? A: The data corruption appears to be ?pattern sensitive? which means that only certain patterns of data result in corruption, and usually cause a single bit of bad data. The patterns that cause corruption may or may not be written frequently by the OS or applications. Even when they are written and corrupted, the corruption may not crash your OS or application. Most applications are ?bit-error tolerant? which means that a few bits of error in memory will not be detected right away. This is why it is possible to have a computer that seems to be stable, and why it may be possible to pass many typical system and memory tests. The reason most OS and application software is ?bit-error tolerant? is because programmers expect that the hardware will work 100% correctly and will not corrupt the data. When data corruption is expected, methods such as CRC, Parity, ECC and Verification are used to check and even correct the data. This does not typically occur in normal OS and applications running in system memory. Most popular CD writing software are good examples of ?bit-error tolerant? programs. They will write a CD, but will not take the extra time to read back the entire CD to verify that each file was written 100% correctly. They skip the verification this because it can take as long to verify the CD as to write it, and on most systems it will always verify correctly. (The problem was originally discovered by CD writing software that would automatically verify the entire CD, and would fail every time.) The BIOS for these motherboards does not have an option to turn on/off the CPU Cache ECC, so its

It looks like it would be a great command to know how to use, but I need to see a lot of examples of different find commands before I'll be able to use it, and its numerous options.

Re: Printer Recommendations

However, if others on the loop want to see them, just drop me a line and I will be glad to send them to them. As best I can tell, the support for actual printing is a program which filters postscript files using ghostscript to a file that the z53 is happy with. You need enscript to print text files. I guess they know how to configure ghostscript for their printers. It works well, I think, including color. And, the cost is moderate, under $200 or thereabouts. (I forget, but I am cheap.) I just spent $31 for a backup BW cartridge. I am through buying cheap cartidges, after what happend to my epson stylus. There are cheaper printers like the z32 which also supports linux, but for reasons which escape me, I switched to the epson. But, the latter never did print color well with linux, and so I switched to the lexmark z53, with which I am very satisfied. I haven't really tried photo quality printing, though. The only problem is two way commuication. This is required for some of the higest quality printing, and samba doesn't allow for that, so I guess the windows clients might lose something but nobody is complaining in my household. If you do set up this printer as a network printer on a samba server, if you don't turn off two way communication with the PC, (in the windows driver setup) things will not go right.

Thanks, Kurt Personally I have stuck with Epson for the quality of the colour printing and lastly for the less expensive consumables, (no printhead on cartridges). I am sure that you will pick up an excellent model for that price or less. There have been discussions in the media and in lists re the canon style versus epson style cartridges. However over the years I have not had one of these epson printeheads either replaced or fixed. as always there will be someone who has but! -- Keith Antoine aka 'skippy' 18 Arkana St, The Gap, Queensland 4061 Australia PH:61733002161 Retired Geriatric, Sometime Electronics Engineer, Knowall, Brain in storage ___ Linux-users mailing list Archives, Digests, etc at http://linux.nf/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
Re: Another M$ vulnerability
delurk(); Should be 'another exploit' don't you think? It's an old vulnerability. But those who need to apply the patch(es) apparently haven't learned yet.

I'm now running 2.4.16pre1 as well. I haven't come across any fs corruption yet either but my uptime was only something like 50 hrs. You shouldn't have any trouble with that release, since it has the fs-corruption patch. I'm still waiting for gentoo to come up to speed on this, since they have several extra nice patches with each release that they choose to offer.

Re: backup software recommendations?
On Sat, 24 Nov 2001, Joel Hammer wrote: In the step by step I thought I saw a a highly laudatory discussion of rsync as a great backup choice. Of course, now I can't find it. How much are you backing up? How often do you do it, etc. I'd probably not recommend rsync as a permanent backup solution. Doug Hunley started this thread, which for some reason I refuse to let die. So here's another item that came to mind. www.backupcentral.com has a section called free tools which, upon cursory inspection seem to quite nice and robust for their cost. Also I've heard anecdotally of people using Amanda with a fair amount of success and again it is priced as most other open source software solutions are. IIRC, amanda does maintain a database of what/where/why/when it backed up, which seems to be one of the most critical components in a backup solution. ___ Linux-users mailing list Archives, Digests, etc at http://linux.nf/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
