I'm glad I did so... I have been using my old trusty BX-based system without any problems, but it's time for faster ride. As I'll want to help with SMP which seems to be slowly gaining weight, am considering dual-processor system. Current dual-Xeon systems are too expensive, PIII is old (good and cool) technology, but 1,4Ghz Tualatin price is about the same as 2Ghz Athlon XP.. which brings me to the dual-Athlon solution. What do you guys think about Asus A7M266-D and two Athlon XP 2400+ processors? The information circulating around 'Net claims that XP and MP are the same processors and with slight modification XP's will work just fine as MP's. Actually I've seen dual-XP's on this particular mobo, but these were 1,7Ghz with Palomino core. What about memory bandwidth, it's using older memory as I see. Any hidden traps, besides cooling of course? Or am I on the wrong track and catching up the long gone train.. Thanks -- Vallo Kallaste [EMAIL PROTECTED] A good choice except for the XP's, use the MP as that requires no modification to the CPU to get it to work in SMP mode. The XP requires a minor mod (Joining contacts on the CPU, like the multiplier unlock hack). The other trap is make sure you have a high-end PSU. The A7M266-D has hefty PSU requirements, so I'd go for a PC Power Supply Cooling unit with at least 450 Watts (The Mobo requires 400 Watts).

Re: Good integrated Athlon chipset for FreeBSD
The nForce based boards would be your best bet. Good solid chipset with a decent video core. You should be able to find one that's less expensive than the Asus.

We're also conducting small classes teaching UNIX for school students in our area. Therefore I'm looking for a good integrated Athlon chipset which are supported in FreeBSD. I'm specifically looking at Epox EP-8KMM+ utilizing the VIA KM266 chipset. But I'm a little doubtful about the sound, video and above all, the NIC. The sound uses Realtek ALC201A chipset, the video is VT8375 ProSavage8 and the NIC utilizes Realtek RTL8100B(L). I can't seem to find on the FreeBSD hardware page supports for the sound and the NIC while a search on Xfree driver site turned zero on the video. Does this mean, that they are not supported? I'm really interested in the chipset because it's cheap and most of us are literate when it comes to hardware, we can skip the support that comes with pricier brands and motherboards. My other option would be Asus A7N-266E using the nForce 420D chipset. I've heard cases that this particular motherboard is usable in FreeBSD. The NIC is RTL8139 (rl) while other nForce boards seem to use the MCP-D built-in LAN, which I can't seem to find any cases of it being run on any installation. I'm open to any suggestion that will allow me to choose the best platform for our research. Cost of course is a factor but I will not buy cheap if it's going to prove a hassle in the future.

The other machine (also FreeBSD, call it HOME), is on a dynamic IP, but with the dns name served thru Zoneedit.com - so anytime the IP changes, there's maybe an hour or two of lag time while the auto update scripts get the dns back on track. What I want to do is initiate a VPN connection from WORK to HOME, and here's where I show my VPN ignorance, connect thru that VPN connection from HOME to WORK. Basically I want to work from home on a secure connection rather than just getting my work machine to pop a terminal up on the home display over an insecure connection. I suspect this won't work this way, but I figure what the hell. The worst that can happen is someone tells me I'm a dope and it don't work that way. So will it, or not? It should be doable. You may have less hair than you started out with and learn more than you ever cared to about IPSec on the way to getting it to work, but it should work. Ok, then no deadlines . . . Thanks! Now, is this Cisco deal a concentrator, a PIX, or a router? (it makes a difference) Do you have the flexibility of getting its admin to create the necessary IPSec policy and access lists to allow you through? Is your new IP address always within the same network range? (that will make access lists much easier) No, it's a Cisco 5000, or some such thing. It isn't IPSEC compliant, but has like 2 general passwords - in addition to the user password. There was supposed to be some promotion from Cisco to upgrade it last year, with free hardware, but our sysadmins were swamped at the time and decided against it. Had they had the time, it would have become IPSEC compliant.

As a side note, it may prove easier to just configure ssh on the destination computer and create the necessary rule to allow the connection on the access list on the Cisco thingie. Just a thought. Good luck, Dru I'll start on that. What I'll do is look out for a connection failure hook of sorts, and just write a script to reinitialize the connection when the IP changes.

As for the stuff you want me to do; One of the first things I checked was the firewalling, and I then did an ipfw flush. (just to be sure) security logs show nothing, probably due to that firewall is completely open on the internal interface and firewall is default to accept. If you really really think the security-log can be of help I can post it, but please read on. Everything else in the network, except for fawlty machine 192.168.0.1, works problem-free and have done so in over two years. the computer 192.168.0.1 is brand new and is set up on the same physical location and the same tp-cable as the old computer. (which is not used anymore). When I ping from 192.168.0.1 to ANY host no packets leave the interface-card (according to hub). The only thing that so far has prevented me from throwing the NIC out the window is the fact that if I reboot the computer, and boot up WindowsXP instead, everything works perfectly.

Re: Installing FreeBSD 4.7 from ISO image

I'm still having trouble, but I'm determined to figure this thing out! I can't wait to be running FreeBSD. Here is what I have tried so far: As per Daniel's suggestion, I verified that other bootable CD's work on my system, which they do. I was able to boot using an old Slackware 7.0 CD I have. Daniel also suggested that maybe the issue has something to do with my ISO burning process. I think that is exactly where the problem is, so I'm trying to get it right. As Dzokayi suggested, I made sure I burned the file as an image and didn't just burn the file as is to the CD-RW. The original file I downloaded from the FTP site came compressed as a WinRAR archive. After downloading it, I extracted it to my HDD. In windows, it shows all kinds of folders (i.e. bin, boot, catpages, etc). The files themselves are not readable in windows, obviously, because they are made with a different file system. Then I followed the suggestion given by Laszlo, which was to burn the actual archive without extracting it. Fortunately, I saved the original file so this was easy enough to do. But...it didn't work either. After burning the 4.7 mini.iso (compressed WinRAR) file, putting the CD in the tray and rebooting...nada, hangs on 'booting from ATAPI CD' Lastly, I realized that I have been burning data CD's and that Nero had an option for burning bootable CD's. Duh! So I went back to Nero and started over. The problem I'm running into now is that when I create a new compilation in Nero to set up a bootable CD, Nero gives two choices to pick from the source of boot image data; a) a bootable logical drive (must be under 650 MB, which I don't have) and b) an Image File. When I click on the browse button to select an image file, Nero only wants to look for files with the extension of .ima. I'm thinking that the file I downloaded from the FTP site is indeed an image file, no? What I'm going to try next is to rename the archive file I downloaded to end in .ima and burn it. There is also a field to choose a type of emulation. The choices are Floppy, Hardisk or No Emulation. I have been choosing No Emulation, as per the Nero manual, this is for bootable installation CD's (i.e. what I'm trying to make). Any further suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Re: ata fallback to PIO mode on dual processor AMD systems

Once the master drops to PIO, attempts to access the slave then cause it to drop to PIO. Are you using 80-conductor cables on all your drives? These are required to get consistent high throughput, and running without them may cause the problems you're seeing. Thanks for the information about the design of IDE etc, and the suggestion about the cables. I was about to shuffle things to get the disks onto separate channels, but I now see that would be a mistake as my CD drive would share a cable with a disk. ps. As an aside, I have since determined that putting a PIO device and a UDMA device on the same channel does not affect the performance of the UDMA device, unless the PIO device is in use. So, sharing a low use CD rom drive with a disk wouldn't be so bad. I am puzzled about the fallback to PIO concept. If a disk has gives some sort of timeout error or whatever, why would trying PIO correct the problem ? That seems equivalent to asking the disk to do the same thing, just more slowly. In my case, some sort of timeout error occurs on ad0, so it falls back to PIO, and works. A later access to ad1 also yields a timeout error, and then it drops to PIO, and works too. I'm fairly confident both disks did not experience media errors at the same time, which suggests a problem with the onboard IDE controller, or a driver bug. Tests continue...
