Intel I440GX+

2003-11-06 Thread Scott Likens
Hi, I have a test server here that runs -CURRENT, just cvs'd to the
latest and greatest.

Well, it doesn't seem to like my ACPI is my guess.

Once it display's the motherboard's ACPI it panic's and reboots.

I'll have to of course go back to an old kernel since I stupidly tookout
the debugger.

This isn't my normal email address also so if you could send reply's to
this email address.

I was wondering most of all if anyone else with an Intel I440GX+ P2-450
roughly was experiencing problems?

Onboard SCSI, 1gig of ECC, dual P2-450's.  Never had this problem
before.

Quite rare.

Thanks

  I hope you are using P3s, or Xeon CPUs not P2s, since P2s are not able
to cache memory above 512MB, which means that things will be real slow.

 Quite rare.

No, Dual P2 Xeons.

Thanks but no thanks.

Hmmm ? Are you sure ? I own an L440GX+ and Xeon's do not fit on it. You 
might have either
an MS440GX or a C440GX, the former being a workstation board (with AGP), 
the later an entry level server board
if there are PII Xeon CPU's on it.

Roberto

Only first PIIs had L2 cache which was unable to store data located
beyond 512Mb memory boundary (233-300MHz, Klamath), and some of them
even didn't support ECC for L2 cache. All the next PIIs (333-450MHz,
Deschutes) had L2 cache with ECC, capable of all 4Gb. So PIIs are
not so bad as some people may think. Besides, L2 cache of PIIXeons
and some PIIIXeons (Drake  Tanner) is slow because it is off-core,
regardless of running at full core speed.

Also to note, that now the computer boots again with the madt.c 1.4.4

Thanks.
