I'm running 192 on one home system and 256 on another... I've also hacked the kernel to get it ro use 2GB RAM on a Quad Xeon. Works great!

4GB also works fine here. I just installed it on a quad-Xeon IBM Netfinity 7000 with 4 GB using Andrea ArcangeliŽs Bigmem-patch.

4GB of RAM??? I hate you :)

No, you donŽt. What good are 4 Gigs of RAM, if X does not work? I am struggling with this box for several hours now. X always freezes the machine :( And itŽs only a simple S3 Trio64 video chip! Well, I give up for today. Time to go home :) I hope our X developers have an idea. Always good to have some resources in the background :) Bye, LenZ -- ------------------------------------------------------------------ Lenz Grimmer SuSE GmbH mailto:grimmer@suse.de Schanzaeckerstr. 10 http://www.suse.de/~grimmer 90443 Nuernberg, Germany -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/

Bummer, thats definately gotta stink. Have ya tried a different video card to see if there may be a fault with the card?

Unfortunately this is not an option, since itŽs an onboard video chip and we really want to test the machine in the default configuration. Well, since itŽs a server anyway, itŽs unfortunate, but not fatal.

Depends on what you use it for. If I had a machine like that I might just stick a network card in it and use it as some type of server -- run xwindows on another machine. Course if you want it for some type of image processing that might not be an option.

Yeah, what the heck do you need a PC with 4gigs anyway? Course maybe once you get one you end up finding things to do with it (and in 10 years you will need that much just to run the latest MS office :)

You won't have to wait 10 years - just wait a couple of months and see what they try and throw at people ;->

Later,

Matt.

Hi :) ~ Found this FAQ about 'ftape' :- < How to configure and use ftape (REF#981030-0030) Description: I can't configure the streaming tape using ftape. There is no /dev/ftape, or /dev/nftapeentry. insmod ftape reports no errors. Solution: To create the dev's for ftape do a makedev qft0 (rewindind device) and makedev nqft0 (non-rewinding device) Then load the ftape module, insmod ftape You should then be able to tar to either of the above devices, /dev/qft0 or /dev/nqft0 > _________________ BUT, When I give the command makedev qft0 I get the reply 'command not found' Can someone kindly tell me How to make this Device ? Thanks :) cheers -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/
