RE: pci configuration

2003-08-14 Thread Cagle, John (ISS-Houston)
If you're using a server with the Compaq PCI-X Hot Plug controller, you can read the maximum bus speed and current device speed from the hot plug controller. For details, take a look at the drivers/pci/hotplug/cpqphp.h and drivers/pci/hotplug/cpqphp_core.c files in the latest Linux 2.6 kernel.

Which version of the N610C BIOS are you using? (F.14 is the latest on the hp.com website.) I know that the _OSI(Windows 2001) bug will be fixed in the F.15 release, but I don't think the _GL_ portion of your patch will be included. Did you have to remove the Acquire Release of _GL_ in order

I think the valid settings are only 0 or 1, with the default being 1 which will disable all logical CPUs. If you want to enable the extra logical CPUS, then set it to 0 (zero). They will come online immediately. John Cagle [EMAIL PROTECTED] Principal Member

What kind of IDE cable are you using (40 or 80-conductor)? You might try a new cable. Do you know which UDMA mode the ata driver is running in? Have you tried turning off DMA and/or write-caching? (I think you can use sysctl to do this.) -Original Message- From: Beech Rintoul
