Go to http://e-center.doe.gov/iips/busopor.nsf/Special+Notices?OpenView and look for the hpc linux announcement, or try: http://e-center.doe.gov/iips/busopor.nsf/b387fe5d7bb4b14385256aff005e9e79/3… This is FYI for most of you on this list, the vendors re restricted to US vendors. But it is interesting to see that the level of Linux at DOE has made it this far in the DC organization. Forward to anyone who you think should see it ... ron ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Wed, 25 Sep 2002 07:57:53 -0400 Subject: HPC Linux meeting, Sonoma, CA, Nov 4-5, 2002 FYI, the Linux meeting announcement has been posted on the Federal Business Operations page. http://e-center.doe.gov/iips/busopor.nsf/Special+Notices?OpenView

My system?
by Angelo Arifi 24 Sep '02

Can I flash my BIOS? I was looking for a BIOS replacment since my default BIOS plain sux, compare to some other bioses, anywho, so i stumbled across the beowulf project got me interested since I do alot of 3d rendering and heard of clustering before. Then I stumbled across of LinuxBios and my 'childhood dream' was true, booting directly not having a shitty old ancient 8bit looky BIOS. Erm, so ya I read a little bit here and there. And it would seem on the status page that my motherboard is NOT supported :/ I have currently a Linux/windows dual, not sure how that would all work i have yet to read lots but is my motherboard the Asus P4-TE supported? ----------------------------------- Angelo "Gigatron" Arifi

Duplicate messages carrying my wording
by Gregg C Levine 24 Sep '02

24 Sep '02

Hello from Gregg C Levine Folks, it seems my mail program glitched, and inadvertently sent out the previous message twice. The one where Ron was talking about the P3 problems. I'm working with the program to prevent it repeating the action. I don't expect it to reoccur. My apologies. Ron, the same to you, doubled. ------------------- Gregg C Levine hansolofalcon(a)worldnet.att.net ------------------------------------------------------------ "The Force will be with you...Always."

My system again...
by Angelo Arifi 24 Sep '02

24 Sep '02

Ok.. i see no one is interested in my motherboard, 82850 (Asus P4-TE)... hence RDRAM... so... i am wondering... I used a program called AwardMOD it seperated the bios into several files, its a start? What next should i do.. i mean what kind of information should be required and what am i presented with in LinuxBIOS, what should be reverse engineered or saught for to help my mobo have a taste of LinuxBIOS? ... ya... i really wana cope with this but can't afford another mobo even if its under 50 bux in my current state... ya sounds cheap but its true and ya computers make me a bit emotionally happy (my little hobby if u will... hmm ya...) ----------------------------------- Angelo "Gigatron" Arifi

OK, I can finally talk about it

We're building a 1024-node linuxbios cluster with Dual-P4 systems and Myrinet. No disks on the nodes. Single System Image via bproc. Monitoring with Supermon. Plus lots of other stuff we hope to be showing in the next year. LNXI is the vendor. In other words, the idea we had 3 years ago has now hit the big time: http://www.lnxi.com/cgi-bin/news/newsboy.pl?sa_01=opt_500&sub_cat=051700153… So, we did it! I mean all of us -- the people on this list. One question I keep getting from the Big Computer Vendors: "how many nodes will this sell this year? How much money?" Well, this year, linuxbios will sell at least 2500 or so dual-P4 nodes, not counting all the other types of nodes currently selling. And, though it is a small number, total linuxbios cluster node sales this year are over $16M, up from $0M last year. Anyway, thanks to all the great people on this list who have contributed code and ideas over the last 3 years. There are a lot of you, too long to list at this point, but you all know who you are. WE DID IT! ron

Sis 530
by Nathanael Noblet 23 Sep '02

Hello, I've seen a lot of support about the Sis 630 chipset. I'm wondering how much support exists for 530 based boards? Is there documentation on how one would proceed to support a particular chipset? -- Nathanael Noblet Gnat Solutions 4604 Monterey Ave NW Calgary, AB T3B 5K4 P: (403) 288-4613 C: (403) 809-5368

K, that sux! I know that intel won't continue producing RDRAM based boards since the technology is in the dump but like isn't anyone interested :) I only got this puppy and I wana play around with this. Anyone else got a mobo of my type? 82850 is the type... ya :P ----------------------------------- Angelo "Gigatron" Arifi

Reference list of "known good boards"
by Gregg C Levine 23 Sep '02

23 Sep '02

Hello from Gregg C Levine Something strange poked me, while I was reading the exchange concerning Steve's problems with his board, and the MAC address, and CMOS settings. I can't speak to that problem, nor advise a possible solution for it, but heres a general one. Can a list be drawn up of so called, "known good boards"? This reference list, to consist of chipsets, and board manufacturers, and a comment or two, from the person who created the port. That comment to mention if the board's IDE port worked, with the targeted disk drive. Also what else was needed to make the whole business work for him, with each board setup. Basically I want to prevent the problems that Steve is having with his onboard Ethernet controller. It would also make things easier for those of us who are considering getting to this idea, on a deeper business then just building the code on a specific platform that is not the target, as I've done, several times over. Everyone, if I am asking the impossible here, then I extend an apology, but I mean well. ------------------- Gregg C Levine hansolofalcon(a)worldnet.att.net ------------------------------------------------------------ "The Force will be with you...Always."

motherboard for vdr system
by Alessio Sangalli 23 Sep '02

23 Sep '02

Hi, I've sent this mail september 14th, but I didn't see it on the mailing list.... I try to re-send it, thank you Hi. I would like to buy a motherboard for a VDR system: http://www.cadsoft.de/people/kls/vdr This software uses DVB cards to receive digital television and transforms your PC in a powerful videorecorder - dvd player - divx mp3 etc etc etc As you can imagine, a very fast boot would be very appreciate, making it possible to completely replace a standalone digital receiver. I watched around and I found a shop selling PC-CHIPS motherboards. I need an AGP slot, and two or more PCI slots for DVB-cards, plus ethernet etc. I have a bit of fear the 815 is very limited in expansion, perhaps the 830 is better for me. Do you have any advice about motherboards? I also found a page (http://www.stud.fernuni-hagen.de/q3998142/pcchips/aka.html) where there are the pc-chips equivalents; nowadays I can very easily find ECS products which are the very same of pcchips 830 etc. I've read archive mailing list and all but I still need some more informations. Will I be able to directly boot my own linux kernel, with IDE, XFS etc support? I need a hard-disk anyway, to record movies and load vdr software, etc. bye and thank you! as
