Ok, so since last we met our hero, the following has transpired:
- Replacing RAM and moving it around to different slots seems to have resolved the won’t POST issue. But, the hi-lo-hi-lo warble continues. I can actually boot the box, get it all up and everything, and the warble tone just continues. Sounds like maybe a temperature alarm or something, but temps of the CPUs and all other components are just fine. Could be a case-open alarm, but not sure. Hopefully MSI will know and help me stop it
- I’ve decided to make this a 2.6 box – and lo! Gentoo is 2.6 now, so I’m gonna do that
- Crap. ATA Raid is not really there in 2.6 yet. Bugger. Ok, well I guess for now one of my two 160GB disks will just sit idle, and once 2.6.x support ATA RAID, I’ll do the RAID-1 then, mirroring the existing drive.
- Gentoo’s quite cool – they have x86-64 stuff very nicely done, with 2.6 kernel and all. Quite straightforward to get things all up and going in fullblown 64 bit mode
More to follow.
