Crap! I forgot to tell you the worst part. That machine had a WU that was 95% done when I killed it...er I mean it passed on.
But all is not lost!
I found an old compaq board and a working PII450 in the bone pile and got it fired up with the drives from the fallen box.
It's now...
Well, I do have a board on the way that I hope to get up and running soon. And I think I talked a friend of mine into giving me his BP6 he wasn't using....That adds up to 3
:D
You bet.
Actually I already got something coming from the parts swap thread for anoter project.
I have some stuff bookmarked on eBay to potentially replace the BH6.
FOLD ON!
Nope, it's a single CPU Slot one. The first decent overclocker I bought.
I am already working on replacing it.
Allthough in can never really be replaced...sniff , sniff
:p
I was messing with an old system trying to squeeze a few more MHz out of the CPU that was in it by doing a voltage mod and I think I fried it. I've tried resetting the CMOS and plugging in different CPU's...no dice.
Good Bye Abit BH6 my old friend...you will be missed :(
:p
I wouldn't expect KDE to be real speedy on that setup. I had one of the more recent KDE versions on a PII450 and it was a bit to slow for me, I ended up using Black Box for a while until I gave up the GUI completely on that machine. BlackBox and IceWM work fine on slower machines, but they are...
I don't know about Fedora, but many distributions load Midnight Commader by default. MC is a good program to have to browse your partitions and view/edit/copy, etc...files if you are not running the GUI. Hell, sometimes I use it from the console even when running the Desktop becuase it is a...
Last time I checked there were several linux distributions with PPC support. There is even one from Knoppix that you could run from CDROM to see if it was even going to work before doing a full install of something.
Or if you are command line challanged like myself you can change the permissions in Konqurer or Nautilus or whatever by right clicking on it and going to properties. There is a permissions tab in there with a "is executable" checkbox.
Yeah, yeah, yeah....I won't be catching up to any of you guys, but that's OK. It's going to take some time and $$ to upgrade the old G@H farm to be useful again. A bunch of 200MHz and under Pentiums just don't cut it for Folding :rolleyes:
It was set to run as a service...with only one instance as far as I can tell. I am not sure what happened. It seems to be running correctly at the moment (after reboot). I'll keep a closer eye on it for the next several hours.
Well, I just checked as I was about to reboot and it just finished another frame/step. It took about 12Hrs, but it did finsh it. Still that part in the log about the "client no longer detected" seems a bit odd, and the fact that it took 12Hrs to complete that part and it usually takes 12min on...
OK, here is the log. I'll try rebooting the machine in a bit.

I have a protein #7596 p217_c28Murea that got to frame 8 then started another frame 8 and stuck there. I tried restarting it and it did the same thing.
Do I need to restart the client with a -clear flag or something?
I didn't realize it was hung up, so this machine has been down for about...
