[gentoo-user] SFP eeprom dumps

Does any one know of a source/file containing the eeprom dumps for sfp and sfp+ optical network modules?  I know it's out there but I haven't had any luck finding it through search engines etc.  With these files any sfp (especially those designed for universal use) will work with any

It could also indicate a problem with the power supply failing.  I've seen this a number of times and it often manifest as memory errors when testing the ram.   Any number of things in the computer can fail in ways that may not be so obvious.  Substitution trouble shooting may be needed, i.e.

Re: Re:[gentoo-user] meson causes system freeze

Sounds like it may be overheating, laptops do that when they get dirty (so do desktops).  It can be amazingly consistent about which point they freeze.  I've had it happen 3 times trying to install the os that shall not be named with some time between each occurrence.  Compiling uses a lot of

Re: [gentoo-user] blue screen / no signal detected

Sounds like the cable failed.  Can you replace it or is it built in on one end?  The change is probably because it's bent different.  Sometimes failed cables sort of work when bent the right way, but not for long. --"Fascism begins the moment a ruling class, fearing the people may use their

Re: [gentoo-user] Mouse pain

The switches themselves do that when they start to wear out.  I've had it happen to a number of mice/track balls.  Indeed I'll soon be replacing those switches on several track balls and I'll use better switches that have the same dimensions.  It may be worth trying to de-dust and de-dust bunny

Re: [gentoo-user] Hard drive pricing and the near future

SMR drive prices are hopefully dropping.  A couple of months ago I bought a couple of used Hitachi 4 GB drives, for my raid setup.  Being raid I got recertified drives on ebay.  They were about $65, up from about $50 for the same drives a couple of years ago.  Larger new drives are hopefully

Re: [gentoo-user] Vanishing tab bar in Firefox

I've had the  same frustration.  There is an extension call "custom scroll bars".  The problem is due to a "feature" where web pages can decide on what a scroll bar looks like and how wide it is.  Apparently some web designers think they know what's best for others.  It's a flaw, not a

Re: [gentoo-user] Gentoo system suddenly failed to boot.

It can also be a failing power supply, had this issue myself, first 1 of 3 drives was having trouble during boot, then the boot drive started having problems.  New power supply fixed it right up.  Nearly anything can cause boot problems depending on the motherboard etc.  If it's the power

Are there any SAS drive controller cards that go in a PCI slot (Not PCI express).  I suspect it's a silly question but I'd like to find one. -- “The whole world is watching! The whole world is watching!”

Re: [gentoo-user] SSD or MoBo playing up?

You also might try a known good power supply as well.  You should definitely try the drive on another system if you can't do that, and/or try another drive with the current mother board.  With the errors being different over time it could easily be nearly any component in the system.
