oprofile on amd64
Have others used oprofile successfully on amd64? I have two dual-core systems, one AMD x2 and one Intel (Core2 Duo). Neither of them collects any samples. My Pentium-M (i386) system works fine with the current packages, although that's using timer mode rather than the NMI interrupt. thanks Hamish -- Hamish Moffatt VK3SB [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

I didn't find anything on the web on this - so can anyone here please help? I've put the needed sound-modules into /etc/modules but it didn't work. Now I have to do a alsaconf after every reboot to have sound working. I tried 'alsactl store' after alsaconf but sound does not work after next reboot...

[Administrativa] Problem forwarding debian-ports to debian-$arch
Hi. Maybe you wondered where the mail 'gnat-4.1/gcj-4.1 manual builds needed on [...]' has been for more than a month. It was catched by one of our spamfilters, the one that should stop excessive cross-posting. So i hope i fixed this now, Cord, Debian Listmaster of the day -- http://lists.debian.org -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Re: Ideas why dvd playback is jerky?

I am surprised if an Athlon 64 beat the Core 2 on video encoding. Weird. What codec and encoder program managed that? I'm afraid I don't recall. I had two machines, one Intel and one AMD, doing more or less similar work and the latter was a length ahead. I was using some scripts from the Gentoo wiki to process video, I recall. It's a little fan next to the graphics chip, comes on the motherboard. Once it starts making a racket, you can live with the noise or else get the board replaced. I chose the latter option. Do you mean the south bridge fan? Nothing to do with graphics. Aren't they usually just a 40mm fan? Can't they be replaced? You are right. I have mixed up two boxes here - one which needed attention due to the south bridge fan giving up the ghost and a second which had to be tended to because a fan on a graphics card gave out. You probably can source a replacement fan but if memory serves me right this fan was riveted on to the board. Additionally, it was my own workstation that I need every day so I opted to get a replacement board - though having to put in a Gigabyte model to replace the A8N-SLI wasn't done with any enthusiasm. I was on crutches at the time and only one person could be asked to deliver a mobo at home - my dealer. The Gigabyte board was all she had in stock. My experience has been different so I'll agree to disagree. I have just seen many posts on this list where people ran memtest, found nothing wrong, but eventually swapped out the ram and their problems went away. memtest is good at telling you if you have a problem, but terrible at telling you that you don't have a problem. You are probably right. But so far, whenever I've suspected memory problems on any of the machines I've tended to and run memtest, it has responded positively.

Since the AMDs are so picky on ram, its too bad that AMD hasn't added a built-in memory tester function to the on-board memory controller. Something that a simple app could poll, or for that matter that the board's BIOS couldn't access during the POST memory test.
