In my post just below, I have defined a set of tests to verify the possible cause of the tg3 problem. It had nothing to do with autoneg, and was fixed in RHEL 4 Update 4. That 32bit installer works correctly.
One last thing to test – rebuild the installer initrd, and replace tg3 module by one built from source (for example, HP’s tg3 drivers from the Proliant Support Pack) for this kernel. I wonder if it will work.
Assume you have a single purpose account. Maybe some service account, user which should run a single task ever, or even a case of a limited menu interface. You want your user(s) to reach there using SSH because that is the method to do it right and secured. You want it to be easy for…
Hi. As some know now, I have an article about encrypting and protecting Linux – while using TPM to prevent the need to enter the encryption passphrase every time the system boots. This is one of the most popular article in this blog, and for a very good reason – people want their computers (especially…
And my “lab zone” needs to be packed up. I’ve closed the lid of some of the computers in the lab, and piled them up. Got about 27 computers, some of them in working order, without counting my “Production” (yeah) computers, 6 computers acting as servers, two desktops and one laptop. Two additional laptops I…

An excellent guide on how to enable bonding which I have partially followed, has convinced me that changing the relevant scripts would be better. That I have done, and reported in this wiki post. To sum things up – configure bonding/VLAN tagging as you…
I’ve been to Hostopia today. The land of hosting servers. I’ve had an emergency job on one Linux server, due to a mistake I’ve made. It appears that the performance hindrance of using raid0 instead of raid1 (Centos/RH default raid setup is raid0 and not raid1, which led me to this mistake) for the root…
I have created an RPM package, and SRPM package, which I will share here, for smartmontools version 6.5 on RHEL 6. Note that the official version is 5.43 which is clueless with many modern SSD disks. I have yet to test it correctly, and in general – use at your own risk. smartmontools-6-5-1-el6-src Related posts:…

It’s sort of a relationship between myself and this Tyan. Same server, changing demands. This time, we’ve had to install on this server RHEL4 32bit. Net-installing RHEL4 Update 3 was impossible. See here, so we’ve installed it from CDs (didn’t have PCI-X
