compaq r4000 32 bit and 64 bit install
by Jerry Geis 13 Dec '05

13 Dec '05

Gents, I first installed the 32 bit version (as you might have read) of centos 4.2, after downloading x86_64 the install process/progress is about the same. going VERY slow... The screen for formatting the partitions took a LONG time (3 partitions 10 GIG, 2 GIG swap and 50 GIG). While on that screen and moving the mouse it lagged big time and could not keep up. Anyway just reporting that so far the 32 bit install and the 64 bit install is Exactly the same. So I am expecting that after install my cpu speed will still be reported LOW (997M vs a 2.4GiG for a 4000+ cpu). Any experiences out there with the 64 bit amd and maximizing speed when plugged in whould be appreciated. Jerry

At the moment I tried "cpuspeed -C" to run at full speed when AC I get an error about "Could not open file for writing" /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor Jerry

Hi I have a compaq R4000 with the 2.4GIG AMD 64 bit. 4000+ rated. proc cpuinfo reports cpu Mhz as 997.481 Do I have to run the 64 bit version to have things run correctly? I just have the normal 4.2 loaded at this time. The laptop seems slow for 4000+ as reflected by the cpu Mhz also. Any thoughts on running the 32 bit version of 4.2 vs the 64 bit version of 4.2?

See AMD "Cool'n'Quiet" which reduces the CPU speed when not under load (and/or on 'niced' processes). You can disable the cpuspeed init to make it always run at the maximum speed.

gconftool-2 not setting exec_ats
by Jerry Geis 12 Dec '05

12 Dec '05

I am using gconftool-2 to setup exec_ats and it is not taking it? Specifially I am doing: gconftool-2 -t list --list-type string --set /desktop/gnome/accessibility/startup/exec_ats "[/home/user/myprogram]" then when I look at it in the gconf-editor nothing is there... What is it I am missing... I have many other bool type settings that work fine. Thanks in advance. Jerry

Boot hangs at Initializing hardware...
by Phil Schaffner 12 Dec '05

12 Dec '05

Anyone else having problems with 4.2 with the boot hanging at Initializing hardware... storage network ? Booting to single user or typing 'I' for interactive startup does not help. Not a timeout problem - hangs 'forever' - days at least. Did a complete reinstall and rebooted OK, did updates and the boot started hanging again. Same problem with either the 4.2 standard installed kernel-2.6.9-22 or the updated 2.6.9-22.0.1.106.unsupported kernel. May be related to audio as that is the next thing to be initialized after network. Looks like BZ 172920 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=172920 Both Knoppix 4.0.2 and Ubuntu Breezy 5.10 live-CD distros seem to work OK on the same hardware, as have RH 7.3-FC1/2/3, WBEL3, and CentOS 4/4.1. The problematic system is an IBM A21p notebook with (according to Knoppix lspci) Cirrus Logic CS 4614/22/24 using module cs46xx. Doesn't really need sound as it is currently acting as a print-server for a color Laser, but haven't figured out how to get it to boot under CentOS to work the problem. Will try mounting the disk from a Live-CD boot and play with config files next. Phil
