On my home PC it appears to work well, and it no longer hangs if my Epson C40 USB printer is powered up on bootup (it is attached to Via chipset USB 2 card). But, trying to boot a single processor Dell PowerEdge 2650 with it was not successful - it hung at some point in the startup. As it happened at 6:30pm last night I haven't any detailed documentation, and it is unlikely that I'll have the time to investigate further. The same box runs kernel-2.4.22-2129 happily.

FC1 AMD64 Preview Updates Available
by Justin M. Forbes 16 Dec '03

16 Dec '03

Nothing earth shattering here, basically just getting the Preview release updates synched with the FC1 i386 updates. For what has changed, please see the original errata announcements. If you have updated yum, yum update should grab them, if not, you can grab them from http://fedora.linux.duke.edu/fc1_x86_64/updates/ Justin M. Forbes

Reiser support?
by Ryan Nix 16 Dec '03

16 Dec '03

Hello all, I'm using Reiserfs with Fedora Core 1 but when I tried to install Arjanv's latest test 11 kernel, I get a kernel not found during boot init (during the display of Redhat release). I used yum and the kernel is clearly installed too. What I'm wondering is this: Do I need to pass a command in Grub to get this to work? Thanks in advance! Ryan

kylix+fedora+postgresql
by Kiss Gábor 16 Dec '03

16 Dec '03

Dear All, after RH9 upgrade to Fedora the Kylix3 cant load the libsqlpg.so (postgresql) library. It is a kompatibility problem or it is a simply file linking problem? Could you help me, where can I control it? Thanx Gábor

Any chance that we will be able to use JFS as a file system at install time any time soon? FC2 maybe? -- Thanks Richard Houston R.L.H. Consulting www.rlhc.net

The second is > dual Xeons on a Supermicro P4DPE. This isn't a Tyan vs SuperMicro issue. You've got two different chipsets here. The Tyan S2720 (equivalent to the P4DPE) will give you the same amount of available RAM as the P4DPE because it has the same E7500 chipset. The S2466 is limited by the AMD760 chipset. The memory controller only has 32-bit addressing so when you install 4G of RAM, you loose whatever is needed for your PCI peripherals. With only 32-bits, there is no place to map the memory to. This is part of the answer to why someone would release a chipset that can't remap memory. The Athlon MP CPU's don't have PAE extended addressing mode support, so they can only address 4G of total address space so there is no reason to implement memory remapping. Another factor here is that the S2466 is a workstation board and you might have had a video card with 64MB or 128MB of memory on it installed. Due to the way PCI addresses are assigned, a 128MB video card effectively consumes a little more than 256MB of address space. The P4DPE is a server board and so you only had a 4MB or 8MB video buffer for the on-board ATI Rage graphics controller. That only uses 8MB or 16MB of address space. Even without memory remaping, the P4DPE is going to win. By the way, if you have a hot-swap capable system, you can loose even more RAM because empty PCI slots have to have memory space reserved for them in case a PCI card is installed after the system POST's. The default is generally to allocate 128 or 256MB of memory space to *EACH* hotswap slot. Three or four hot-swap slots eat up almost a 1G of memory! > For good measure, here's free from > a dual Opteron system with 8GB installed: > > total > Mem: 8070688 > > That's the Arima/Rioworks HDAMA motherboard.

I've had good success with the Tyan motherboards. All the way from dual PIII, P4 Xeon and on to Opteron. The Arima HDAMA is also nice. But on the very early HDAMA BIOS's you could loose as much as 1G in a 4G config because the Phoenix BIOS was sloppy. But again, it's not a motherboard manufacturer issue. You loose the memory under your PCI space with the Opteron's same as the Athlon no matter whose motherboard you use. The Opteron does have PAE mode support and plenty of address bits, but the memory controller on the CPU apparently doesn't have a way to remap that memory. Being as the memory controller is actually on the CPU and must be accessed cache-coherently in a multi-CPU board, adding memory remapping to get back 256MB or 512MB out of 4096MB (or more) must not have been worth it. :v) -- Philip Pokorny, Director of Engineering Tel: 415-358-2635 Fax: 415-358-2646 Toll Free: 888-PENGUIN PENGUIN COMPUTING, INC. www.penguincomputing.com
