Ok, here is something for entertainment:
We installed a new 8-way Opteron system TurboRACK A6810-R5 (based on Iwill H8501) with Debian Pure64, kernel 2.6.10 vanilla.
The installation with the latest Netinst-ISO works smooth, but we had to update the kernel to 2.6.10 because of wrong SMP initialization with kernels older than 2.6.10 on this machine (perhaps a little BIOS bug, too).
Besides that, it runs smooth and very fast :-).
Technical Specifications: - Rackmount chassis 5U - 1300 Watt redundant P/S (3+1) - 2x Quad-mainboard Iwill QK8S, connected thru HTX-Pro bridge - 8x CPU AMD Opteron 850 - 32x 2GB DDR400 ECC reg. (total of 64GB memory) - 4x Gbit LAN (Intel Pro/1000, driver "e1000") - additional LSI SCSI controller (driver "mptscsih") with Fujitsu drives (15krpm)
