Can you please post some more details? About containers? There's very useful documentation about them like https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/LXC ... What can I say? Virtualization with xen is like juggling with a set of black boxes each of which aren't exactly accessible; the documentation sucks, it's hard work to get it running and likewise hard to maintain. I disagree. Been using Xen for over 10 years now and find it very easy to use. The documentation could be better on the Xen site itself, but there is plenty of decent documentation available via Google. Virtualization with containers is basically as simple as running just another daemon. Not quite. I use virtualization to minimizer the physical hardware. Xen is easy for that. Containers are what chroot jails should have been. But there is no simple method to set these up when security isolation is your goal. Which the better tool, or combination of tools is, depends on what you want to accomplish. You could use containers in a VM, too, or use virtualbox along with containers to run the odd VMs that require full virtualzation. Virtualbox is nice for a quick test. I wouldn't use it for production. -- Joost -- Sent from my Android device with K-9 Mail. Please excuse my brevity.

It is either udev or some other part of your init system which does this. mount at a bash prompt, and then spams the screen with errors about /dev/fd0. And again it is not the kernel. Obviously, it is the bashcomp shell scripts which do it in some case, here. Could/should kernel patch number 38 really introduce new behavior? It might toggle that for some reason e.g. /dev/fd0 was not visible or accessible before. (Or at least not in the way how udev and bashcomp expected to access it.) I've been wondering about this new behavior of mount and I'm still puzzled why mount or bashcomp or udev or the kernel or anybody else needs to poll the physical devices to find out which filesystems are mounted. The kernel must know at *all* times which filesystems it has already mounted, right? Wrong?

Hello Everyone, Sorry for the delayed response. Flased the bios to the latest version 1.1.7 dated 2007.

I know these machines have a thing called VRM (Voltage Regulator Module). This module is needed for dual cpu configurations. The machine has only on CPU and so no VRM. I read somewhere there was a issue with VRM equipped machine. Your help is greatly appreciate as I am stumped over this. Nick.
