Re: Two Identical PCI NICs, how to choose which is eth0 and whichis eth1

2003-01-27 Thread Aaron Grewell
Figure out which PCI slots are which (each has a number), then try assigning IRQ's to each of your NIC slots and see if a higher or lower IRQ affects the ordering of the ETH settings. I've never tried to actually specify which is which, but that's how I would try to do it. On Mon, 2003-01-27 at 1

The other thing that may come into play here is that Linux is much more friendly to non-Unix types. I actually used FreeBSD before I ever touched Linux. I had no idea what Unix was and I wanted to find out. I was going to try Linux since I had heard the early rumbles of what I knew was a massive

I've used both FreeBSD and Linux at different times, and both work well on the server end. FreeBSD is alleged to be faster and more stable under load, but I never had any occasion to verify that. Linux has the advantage of greater third-party support and is much more usable as a workstation than

There are several packages that have to be updated for the new kernel to work properly, some of which are as ever-changing as the development kernel itself. The ones I remember were e2fsprogs, xfsprogs, procps, modutils, and alsa-utils. e2fsprogs and xfsprogs were cake, but procps was big fun. T

The original Celeron had no L2 cache at all. Its performance was so abysmal that Intel had to quickly come out with the Celeron "A" which includes the 128KB L2 cache we know today. K-6-II and III chips definitely gave better bang for the buck than the original Celerons, but the Celeron A was the

Celeron fits into the budget category. Intel has always had these chips and in the old days they were marked with "sx" (386sx, 486sx). Now they're called Celerons, and there are several varieties. The only two you should need to know about are P3 Celerons and P4 Celerons. These are low-cache va

I hope not. That's a nasty business. The Promise RAID drivers are in the later kernels but I'm not sure how well they work. My understanding of the Promise is that most of the work is done by the drivers anyway, so there's not much advantage over the in-kernel software RAID support. I would ten

I'm not sure I understand, but here goes. The different drive letters are quite normal for the Promise controller. Will it not install once the RAID is on? That's a kernel support issue, so if Mandrake doesn't support the Promise RAID setup then you'll have to make a kernel that does before you

Try -p1 instead of -p0. If that doesn't work, copy the XFS patch into the linux-2.4.20 directory and patch from there, first with -p0 and then with -p1. If that doesn't work, there's a mismatch between the patch you got and your kernel. On Mon, 2002-12-30 at 13:17, Bonez wrote: > Here's how I pr

There's no way the USB cradle will work with 2.4.2. USB cradle support (initially for the Handspring Visor) was added in a much later rev of 2.4.x (x>10, IIRC), and the Palm Tungsten support is probably only in the very latest, and maybe not even that. I know it's in 2.5, but I doubt if you reall

If you're going to do that you'll need to get ACPID and set it up in place of APMD. Otherwise ACPI isn't going to do much for you. There may also be kernel patches involved. ACPI has been under very heavy development as it is one of the subsystems being enhanced in 2.5.x. http://acpid.source
