Yeah, I can imagine that unit testing and regression testing keeps you damn busy .....

SLES has never given me any major grief, but I've generally just run on pretty vanilla hardware.

and then come new hardware... yeah...

lol... yeah... one time they spun 4 drivers...yeah...not cool...finished in one day... was tired...

4 drivers * 10 OS's to test on ..... busy day ......

makes me happy that I had already gotten all of the kickstart files up to speed... insert driver... rest is fully automated pxe install...aaahh next server...
 
Just FYI I got a thread going over at FF - one useful nugget from Punchy:

I'd love to test this on my 24-"core" systems but the new dynamically linked client is not compatible with SLES10 SP2 (the best of many Linux distributions I've tried at running bigadv) and fails immediately with a floating point exception.

Plus some interesting input from people with a truckload more linux experience than me...
 
SLES10 SP2 does not recognize the network adapters on an SR-2, FYI. I don't think it is the answer here.

I posted my logs in the FF thread. Same results, only less frames running at the right time. I just restarted with -smp 24 specified and nice 5, with the same results.

Edit: I may have spoke too soon. The last two frames were back down in the 11:30 range...

Does not work with SR-2 boards..... well that keeps a bunch of [H]orde power from switching.
 
I can try and find a nic driver for it... thats easy enough to do... I wouldnt have a few dual quad rigs running if I let a little ol nic driver get in my way...

To you, this is not a big deal. To me (and others), this is show-stopper. I am sure a proper NIC driver could be added. I also am still not sold that SLES10 SP2 is the right place to start anyway. There are two DVDs to download, and it seems rather bloated for a server OS. Also, if Punchy is having problems with it and the new client, it is probably not worth the hastle yet. It sounds like there are many other distros that are much closer to what we need out of the box.
 
I'd try arch, but I'm pretty sure I'm out of hard drives. I also need to try and figure out why my TPF jumped by a minute overnight.
