FOR SALE: Several computer parts and servers
by Joe Brouhard 03 Sep '07

03 Sep '07

I'm in the process of getting rid of a large majority of the computers/parts I do have laying around. Here we go: 1) Dell PowerEdge 6450 Quad Xeon 900Mhz, 8GB RAM, 2x 18GB SCSI Drives (it has 4 drive bays, so there are 2 with no drives). This system is known working and I have successfully installed linux on it in the past. Tho you gotta go the boot floppy method, as for some reason, liveCDs don't install linux on it (it only installed Windows off the CD for some odd reason). This is a really sweet box if you are looking to do builds or even major hosting. 2) 2x AMD Athlon 1400+ machines. Both 1GB RAM. However, one system has onboard NIC and Video, and I'm pretty sure the other system doesn't. One machine comes with an ATI Radeon 7200 128MB AGP card, 60GB Hard Drive, CD-RW. second machine (build in video and NIC) comes with 40GB Drive and CD-ROM. 3) Pentium II 400Mhz machine w/ SCSI Controller and 18GB SCSI Drive. 512MB PC100 RAM installed. I can deliver all these machines to KC metro area as well as Omaha, NE. However anything outside 2 hours of driving time will require me to ship it. Shipping on the PowerEdge is upwards $100 or more. If you have questions or comments, please let me know. Also, please forward to any lists you think might be interested in this equipment. Thank you. -- Joe Brouhard jbrouhard(a)gmail.com

boot sequence discussion
by David Nicol 03 Sep '07

according to the initrd documentation, the purpose of initrd is to pre-load the correct modules in a more reliable way than modprobe. Mkinitrd flatly refuses to run against the nonmodular kernel I have built. I'm also a little bit surprised that things in /sbin aren't all statically linked any more; I think that requirement went away some time ago. There's this "initial ramdisk" thing now that looks really exciting: apparently you list files or directories and those things get cpio-ed up and bundled right with the bzImage, which strikes me as an excellent way to put together a pocket router or a good rescue disk image: Never mind a rescue filesystem, just copy this file to your boot partition and add a rescue option in grub.conf!

Obsolete equipment for free
by Eric Johnson 02 Sep '07

02 Sep '07

Is anyone interested in a Gigabyte GA-7VRXP motherboard with an Athlon 1800 (I think) and CPU fan? It was working yesterday before I put a better board into that case. -- Eric Johnson "Where your pleasure is, there is your treasure: where your treasure, there your heart; where your heart, there your happiness."

fedora experts?
by David Nicol 01 Sep '07

01 Sep '07

I have been trying to get a recent, unpatched, kernel to work with a fedora system. I am able to get the kernel to boot but things seem to stop for want of an /init program in the root directory. init=/sbin/init does not seem to help. Who has a link to a current boot process explanation? not a howto, but a lecture, covering what is supposed to be happening at each point in a modern complex linux boot?

...spool? ...subpoena? Why would you be worried about subpoenas with a gmail account? Never mind, I probably don't want to know...

NEW Intel Xeon Processor 3.6 GHz w/ fan
by Luke -Jr 30 Aug '07

30 Aug '07

Since it doesn't seem like I'm going to get a chance to make real use of the CPU, I'm going to try pawning it off before it loses too much value (when I got it, it was valued at $800!) I live in Omaha now, but I *might* be driving to KC tomorrow-- so if you don't want to pay shipping or drive to Omaha, let me know before then... We also don't have a use for the IDE-SWAP thing, since it ties up four 5" bays: http://omaha.craigslist.org/sys/409846483.html This is a new Intel Xeon CPU factory sealed in its original box and packaging. Model #BX80546KG3600EA, the lowest price Google can find for this is $349. It goes for as much as $994 at some stores! It has a 3 year limited processor warranty and features: - Dual Processor Capable - Intel NetBurst Microarchitecture (Hyper-Pipelines Tech, 128-Bit FPU, SSE3, Advanced Dynamic Execution) - Hyper-Threading Technology - Intel Extended Memory 64 Technology (EM64T, the same as x86_64 or AMD64) - Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology - Intel-Designed Thermal Solution Includes Active Fan Thermal Solution, intended for a 3U server rack or larger. Asking $340 obo for this high end server CPU.

Linux SysAdm Position Open @ Assurant
by Joe Fish 30 Aug '07

30 Aug '07

Don't know too much about this, but was asked if I knew of anyone with Linux Administration experience. I can say I know they pay pretty well, and my buddy has been happy there for a number of years. You can respond to me off list if you'd like me to forward a resume to him -- don't know if that'd do you any more good than applying directly from their website, but maybe. Anyway, here's the link for the listing: http://assurant.taleo.net/servlets/CareerSection?art_ip_action=FlowDispatch… JOE
