Subject: IRQ Problems?
Hello everybody,
the other day I installed SuSE Linux 6.1 on a self assembled computer
with an ASUS P5A MB, AGP Voodo 3 2000 Gfx card, initio SCSI Card, and
an AWE 32 ISA Sound card, 256 MB memory. The installation worked like a
charm, I was able to use my modem and everything worked. Then I installed
W95 on a second harddisk. I got severe problems starting W95 and several
hardware conflicts (memory space getting tight, interupts). When I booted
linux again and tried to use my modem linux just froze. I suspect it has
to do with io memory addresses being tight, as well as IRQ collisions?
(the SCSI and the Voodo have the same interrupt although on a different
bus). Any help about Interrupts, IO address memory and perhaps similar
experiences will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
George Skillas

Hey all,
it's me joker again with another question for all you overclocking GODS!
Well, as you can guess i too own the world reknowned P2B. Yes, we love it
despite it's lack of a softmenu BIOS and inclusion of "mini-me" sized
jumpers not too mention the awkward placement of the power connector. But
you can't dispute it's quality, stability or product recognition. anyway,
along those lines, i was wondering how many of you are P2B owners and
366a ->> 550 overclockers? how's the success rate with the MSI slotkets and
are the rumours true of the alpha heatsinks not fitting the 1.1 version.
I'm eagerly awaiting my slotket and 336a but in the meantime am pondering if
i should just splurge on the Abit BP6. I'm also building a computer for my
little cuz. i've got all these spare parts lying around, i guess it's best
to make some use of them. The only thing that i don't have two's of are
motherboards. Could be a good chance to get the BP6 but if not then all is
still not lost. Thanks again and good luck to all.

no need to edit the make file. "make -j 2 bzImage" will do. Just open up

This is weird though, I know it's said to be compared against a Xeon
but the benchmark on AMD's site only states it as a Pentium III 550Mhz
(512KB). I would think that they would have pointed it out boldly that
it was a Pentium III Xeon?
Anyway, according to the SpecBench results,
SPECfp_base95 of 15.1 for P3 Xeon 550, 14.3 for Xeon 500 as submitted
by Intel
SPECfp_base95 of 13.2 for P3 500 also submitted by Intel
So that makes the P3 Xeon about 8.3% faster than the P3
According to the same results, the P3 450 is 3% faster than the P2-450
So K7 is 46% faster than Xeon, 49.8% faster than P3, 51.3% faster than
the P2. Meaning the P2 to K7 is about 0.66:1 ratio.
Given that somebody measured the relative performance of 3DNow and SSE
with the result that 3DNow is more effective, I can imagine the K7
putting an even bigger gap between itself and the nearest Intel
offering. :P

That naturally depends, can your (link) to the net saturate the box ???
ie if you only have a small pipe into the server, probably a 486 could keep
up.
several Giant Flood Pipes into your server, and yep you might want to look
at getting some nice fast hardware.

Subject: Re: To RAID or not to RAID? -that is the question...
Date: Wed, 7 Jul 1999 00:35:40 -0700
Not even close :)
Raid 5 is NOT mirroring. Raid 5 does an XOR of the data spread across
multiple drives and stores that result on the parity drive. The parity is
usually calculated at the block level and the data is stripped across the
drives in the Raid set. When a data drive fails, the data on that drive or
volume can be 'regenerated' by XORing the parity data with the data on the
surviving devices.
As to the original posters comment that Raid 5 will be faster, this is not
necessarily true and in most cases Raid-5 will be slower than Raid-1
(mirroring). This is especially true in when there is a lot of write
activity. The reason is that when data is written to a Raid-5 volume, the
parity for that Raid rank must also be read, recalculated and re-written.
This may also involve reading the other data volumes in order to do the XOR
calculation. Mirroring on the other hand only requires 2 writes and if you
use a caching Raid controller this can be very speedy since the writes go
into cache and are later destaged to disk when the disk is less busy.
There are other factors to consider as well such as adding drives,
increasing the size of the Raid group and so on. Raid-5 is usually much more
difficult to add-on to. You usually have to back-up your data, rebuild the
raid-5 group and then relay the data back onto disk, which btw usually
requires a full rebuild of the Raid-5 parity information.
Good luck
Cheers

Wrong, you are thinking of DATA guarding (RAID 4)
Raid 5 Distributed Data Guarding stripes the parity data across ALL disks in
the set (like the name says)
Raid 5 offers
Best protection
Increased throughput
Most cost effective
Striping parity data generates redundant information that can be used for
the following
Detecting errors in stored or transmitted data
Reconstructing flawed or missing data sectors
Allowing more simultaneous read operations and higher performance than Data
Guarding (Raid 4)
For example
If a drive fails, the controller uses the parity data and the data on the
remaining drives to reconstruct data from the failed drive. this allows the
system to continue operating, although with a slightly reduced performance,
until you replace the failed drive.
Distributed Data Guarding requires a logical drive with a minimum of 3
physical drives. Therefore, in a logical drive containing 3 physical drives,
distributed data guarding uses 33 % of the total logical drives storage
capacity for fault tolerance, while a 14 drive configuration uses only 7
percent.

I think your best bet is to upgrade your installation, the kernel at the
very least. I understand that the full specs for this board were finally
made available to the driver developers and the modifications were
included in the driver distributed with 2.0.35 (or .36) kernel sources.

I reckon UDMA66 is also a good deal if your not prepared to pay for SCSI
in a cheap Linux workstation: two IBM 22GXP 9.1GB drives cost about the
same as one 9GB SCSI, and could use the bandwidth of UDMA66 if used with
mirroring and/or striping. This assumes that you have UDMA66 available
for little extra cost (say you're buying a new motherboard). Otherwise
SCSI would be a better investment (IMHO).

I got the same problem but instead of your message I don't get the "IRQ
10" in /proc/pci.
When I try to load the module it says : IRQ0 in unlikely to work ! and
sometimes the systems hangs up !
I tried using the 3c509bTx card with and without a aha152x scsi card,
and as a module and compiled in the kernel. I have a HP vectra VL
computer. I tried also to fix the IRQ of the PCI slot to 10 in the bios.
What can I do ?

No surprise. Internal modems _are_ serial ports, and therefor you can't

Uh.

Two serial ports, ttyS1 and ttyS2 . This should work, as long as your
onboard serial port (that one you're connecting your external modem to)
has been configured as ttyS2. The setup is a bit weird, though:
It seems that you did disable ttyS0 in your CMOS setup as well, or did you
just change the port address in the CMOS for that port ?
What does "cat /proc/interrupts" tell you ?

More better:
