<0> wibble: they don't do long IDE cables.
<1> I'd give it a memtest.. (im ***uming that your cpu fan hasn;t failed or anything lol) then if memtest doesn't pick up anything, start looking at the hdd.
<2> They don't do disks IME.
<1> and or cables/controller
<0> Napta: yeah, honostly, I do know how to troubleshoot it, it's just that I don't really want to. the machine is placed in a cupbord or whatever you call it and I have to reach over half a closet and god knows what to even reach the reset button
<0> wibble: that's bull****.
<2> Hence the IME.
<0> wibble: I have two of them, both have worked perfectly
<0> then you ****
<0> you realise 90CM IDE cables is outside the p-ata spec ?
<0> I'll admit that they are VERY picky with the quality of the IDE cables, but they do work quite well.
<2> I used the ones that came with the cards so that's moot, methinks.
<0> this one has been in operation for about 4 years without problems. I have however experienced heavy problems if you try to combine multiple pci ide controlers
<0> I have 3 ide controlers, all three seem to work perfectly alone, but put them together and they sling **** out of the floppy drive at you
<1> whoa
<1> my boss wants me to trial solaris 10 in production
<1> one small step for man.. etc
<1> Kristian: well I would first memtest your server. then boot it up with just the OS hdd - connected directly to the mainboard (remove the controller)
<2> Kristian: Have you been using them as a RAID array? What I've been getting is false positives at boot for drive failures.
<1> oh ?
<2> RAID10 -> two different servers, one HPT374 and one HPT370. False positives on both.
<1> false positives from the software raid ?
<0> ..... as far as I know, hpt only does fakeraid ?
<4> insufficient "keyword" auth (have 1, need 5)
<0> and I've been using this for swraid
<1> :o
<1> swraid 5 ?
<0> yeah
<2> Well it is fakeraid, but I used the builtin highpoint raid for 'stability'. Ha!
<1> maybe its just went broky
<1> it would explain the locks
<0> nah, I've seen swraid ****ups, they don't look like this :P
<0> I've had major problems with that in the past
<1> yeah
<0> but I'll run memtest next time it crashes
<0> most of my machines allready got memtest as an option in lilo
<1> just let it get 1 p***, 128mb of ram it won't take very long
<1> yeah
<0> but it sounds like I need to walk the damned dog
<0> sigh
<0> just got home too, stupid dog
<6> yeah my dog just got up... gotta walk him too
<6> be back in a few
<2> WTF
<2> Apparently people have been attacking stingrays in Australia as 'revenge attacks' for Steve Irwin's death.
<2> They should give them an award or something. Worthy as he was, he was an annoying sod at the best of times.
<7> hmmm decisions decisions....
<0> aaaaaaaaargh!
<0> I HATE HARDWARE!
<7> yar
<7> I prefer to work remotely
<0> the ****ing keyboard doesn't work before linux takes over
<7> that way I am in no way responsible for hardware
<0> can't enter bios OR make selections in lilo
<0> sigh
<2> That ****s.
<7> odd, but linux picks up the keyboard when it takes over?
<0> yup
<0> ah well
<0> lilo has a ONCE option
<2> It's not one of those USB POSes is it?
<0> no
<0> it's pure ps2
<6> im gonna go for a swimg in the pool
<6> later
<0> but lilo -R to the rescue
<0> memtest + dogwalking seems reasonable
<7> indeed
<1> ok
<1> so people try and access the samba fileserver..
<1> and they get their p***word wrong
<1> and some how its my fault err
<7> of course it is
<7> you should have setup the system to proactively guess how they would typo thier p*** and correct the p***word on the fly
<0> you set at oo strict p***word policy
<0> one letter should be enough
<0> or a pet/child's name
<8> or the same as the username
<8> or p***word/love/***/god
<2> *hit
<0> koroded: s/p***word/secret/
<8> haha
<8> that too
<7> or the slight attempt to obfuscate the fact someone was too lazy to think of a secure p***word p4ssw0rd
<1> I'm glad I don't have richard stallman in my office
<1> he'll demand I make everybody's p***word empty
<9> god os x blows
<7> or the default p***word our internal windows admin sets up 1234567890 doh!
<1> I like os x
<1> its not very good though
<9> shows how much you know :P
<9> heh
<1> web browsing on my ibook? awesome :p
<1> super secure porn browsing
<9> yeah, i'm trying to use it as a workstation
<1> haha :p
<9> going to strip it down and chuck debian on it methinks
<1> hmm, running OS X just makes you appricate how powerful linux is.
<9> there's a patch for the airport driver to use kismit with it ;p
<1> I actually found a flaw in OS X too.. which means you have to edit a config file by hand! scary!!
<9> yeah
<10> whats wrong with os x?
<1> /win 13
<1> err wtf
<9> o_O
<8> gg
<1> lag
<9> nagual: setting up anything that doesn't come pre-compiled and has an installer is a whore
<1> ?
<9> trying to navigate the os x directory structure of applications? forget it
<10> why
<1> you can't navigate a directory?
<9> heh
<9> let me get an example
<1> we don't beleive you ferro
<7> I never hear any middle ground opinions of OS X...people either love it or hate it. It seems those that hate it, are *nix people that can't stand the appleisms that remain in the OS
<7> I have yet to play around with it though
<11> im quite neutral about it
<11> its not good and its not bad
<1> well, I really like my ibook.. which runs OS X - because it is so simple to use. It's like a hybrid windows / unix box
<11> its like so basic
<7> first I have seen or heard to be neutral though
<9> /Applications/Xirc/Xirc.app/Contents/MacOS/Xirc <-- the actual executable for Xirc is within the directory which appears as an executable in the GUI
<1> I have a terminal.. i don't have a bluescreen of death, or kernel upgrades to do every day
<1> ferro: yes
<9> the filesystem structure is... one to itself
<2> I once saw a couple of apples running MAC OSX at a linux expo, and I just thought 'Ooo! KDE!'.
<10> so poor structure
<1> but if (like normal people) you use a file nagivator to do that
<9> (in relation to /usr, /var and the like)
<1> you won't see the hidden .app
<9> file navigator.. please :P
<1> Use the finder man
<1> lol
<9> sif!
<9> haha
<11> finder man?
<10> now im going to watch Milton H. Erickson MD_Nick And Mondy
<1> yeah
<11> i didnt get finder man with mac os x
<1> he finds things for you
<10> i been looking for that one for over 6 months
<10> latah
<9> you shoudl have :P
<11> laters
<1> laters :)
