<0> ia64
<1> Ka-bar: itanium is a whole different architectrure.
<2> hmmm
<2> Itanic
<1> Ka-bar: itanium has an x86 compatibility mode
<3> Ka-bar: Itanium has an onboard X86 emulator, but it's not an X86
<1> but it blows goats
<2> ah. ok.
<1> ia64 looked so promising on paper
<0> 7 8-way Integrity's arrived at $work yesterday
<0> 5 itanic, 2 pa-risc
<3> bhab: but AFAIK the newer Itaniums won't have the emulator anymore... supposedly most customers just plain don't use it
<4> PolarWolf: boat anchors!
<1> i remember reading whitepapers and thinking, "wow, intel *finally* did something right other than i960"
<3> I thought PA-RISCs weren't even being built anymore
<1> then it launched.
<1> and it ****ed.
<0> Tamahome: Hell no, x86 emulation is horribly slow
<1> and itanium II still ****s.
<5> reality: the name of the soundcard is: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT8233/A/8235/8237 AC97 Audio Controller (rev 50). But the problem is that i can't find it when i modprobe.
<2> The i960 was nice.
<2> The i860 wasn't bad either.
<3> bhab: they are power whores.
<0> Tamahome: ia64 doesn't really sell, so they kept it alive a bit more
<3> what systems used the 860 & 960
<3> ?
<1> parisc is a great architecture.
<6> thedruid: What are you trying to modprobe?
<2> Stratus made a system with the i860
<2> before they went to PA-RISC
<3> PW: it's a shame, because as bhab said, IA64 looked fantastic on paper
<1> Tamahome: a lot of embedded boxes used them. you can find them in raid boards all the time
<0> Tamahome: Yeah
<4> my ethernet switch has an i960
<0> Tamahome: Problem is price, and x86
<7> wh00t!
<4> the video card in my SGI has 4 i960s, as I recall
<1> the *only* thing ia64 does really well is fast fourier transforms.
<5> reality: my drivers?
<3> I hate to say it, but I think Linux had a hand in killing IA64
<0> I'm sure Oracle will run horribly slow on those itanics
<6> thedruid: Yes, what is the name of the **** you're modprobing
<8> helo everybody.
<3> I bet a lot of companies moved from PA-RISC to X86
<0> So we'll be required to buy more integritys
<1> Tamahome: i can believe it. However, linux runs really well on ia64 hardware.
<5> reality: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT8233/A/8235/8237 AC97 Audio Controller (rev 50)?
<3> PW: I dunno... the PA-RISC version of Oracle is pretty solid
<6> thedruid: You have no idea what's going on, do you?
<0> bhab: It runs way better on opteron
<1> PolarWolf: indeed. :)
<3> at my old job we had a PA8700 that ran really nice, even at 8.0 regular load
<0> Tamahome: Yeah, but we're running it on ia64 :)
<5> reality: tbh i have no clue :P
<4> 15:33:35 up 100 days, 18:18, 4 users, load average: 17.83, 17.71, 17.51
<6> thedruid: Didn't think so
<9> PW!
<9> Hans!
<3> bhab: wow... there's a Linux port on IA64 too?
<0> Nanuq: Ey!
<4> I need to reboot the machine, I have 8 zombiefied processes trying to read files off an IBM Deathstar
<1> Tamahome: linux is following the netbsd track... pretty soon you'll see it on toasters.
<8> does somebody knows why my linux system is freaxing when I am trying to change the mac address of a NIC. I am executing ifconfig eth1 down and the ifconfig eth1 hw ether xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx and then the system freezes instantlty.
<0> Tamahome: afaik, it was pretty much the first OS to run on it :)
<3> bhab: heh.
<4> davidf: the driver or card you're using doesn't support MAC address changing maybe?
<8> the problem is that the card is supporting mac changing.
<6> thedruid: man modprobe, man lsmod, man rmmod, then reboot your ****
<1> and i think PolarWolf is right, linux booted ia64 before there was silicon.
<8> I am using the same card.. with the same OS, same kernel, but on a LIVE CD and I can change the mac here.
<3> PW: I *HATE* Oracle's installer
<0> Tamahome: No ****
<1> oracle's installer ****s
<3> with a p***ion.
<1> i hate anything installshield
<1> it has no place in unix
<0> Tamahome: Though its getting more clever with each iteration. This is 10gR2's
<8> could it be something in the kernel?
<10> bhab: it ****s in a very specific, java based and xwindows-dependent way
<3> PW: the Java **** drove me nuts
<3> esp. on X86 where I used to have to install it every other day
<10> wtf was wrong with nice console-mode scripts like v7 had?
<1> DaveHowe: my sentiments exactly.
<8> after trying to change the max the system just freezes and all I can do is a hard reboot.
<0> Tamahome: I hate how Oracle wants a complete new ORACLE_HOME for every friggen component
<3> that too
<0> And each has its own copies of all the tools the others have too, including a JRW
<0> err, JRE
<3> so setting up 3 environments on one machine drove me bat**** (DEV/TEST/PROD)
<1> that's bad juju right there
<0> OTOH, one tends to deploy this on terabyte sized disks, not 4GB virtual disks :P
<0> Tamahome: Hah, this is only once instance, and I'm already at 3
<0> Tamahome: crs, asm and the database itself
<0> And soon I'll be adding the one for the metadata repository, and two OAS infrastructure nodes
<3> I never mucked with any of that, thankfully
<0> So I'll end up with at least 6 ORACLE_HOMEs, all of the same version, 10gR2
<3> would've undoubtedly just given me more headaches than I needed
<0> It's...dumb
<8> so does anybody have the slightest ideea why my system is freezing when I am trying to change the mac address of NIC.?
<0> But it won't fit, so I'll have to add a new loction for this stuff
<7> so, well, we are all agreed that oracle is annoying.. so what are we arguing?
<0> davidf: Trying it on a driver which doesn't support it?
<3> wlfy: we're just swapping war stories
<8> it does.
<10> davidf: there is no obvious reason, unless the driver is borken or something on the box is network-dependent
<8> using the same driver , same kernel but on live CD it is working and I am able to change the mac.
<0> Also funny how ASM doesn't start on the node I installed it on, but does on the remote node
<0> Weird
<8> same nic same machine, same os, kernel. but diferent media.
<8> DaveHove the NIC is not UP when the system freezes after trying to change the mac address,
<8> so i dont think that could be any network dependencies,
<3> can the MAC address be set with modprobe parameters?
<10> davidf: is lo configured and up?
<11> do you know with what i can play *.VOB
<3> oh look, today is "Firefox Day"
<0> Hmm, ifconfig, afaik
<8> lo is down also.
<12> Fladimir: mplayer or the likes.
<0> miitools if all else fails
<10> davidf: does it freeze if lo is up when you change the mac of eth0?
<3> don't miitools work with SNMP?
<10> Fladimir: a dvd player?
<0> Tamahome: They do?
<8> I tryed also with the lo up and down but the system freezes ...
<3> eh whatever... I've never really had to change a MAC address
<0> Great, OUI just crashed my VM
<8> should I try to uograde the kernel?
<3> PW: see what I mean? ;)
<0> Tamahome: *grmbl*
<0> **** this, I'm going to bed :)
<8> could it this be a blind solution...
<7> eh.. wtf..
<12> PolarWolf: sleep well
<3> night dude, sleep well
<13> how bout
<13> uhm
<13> nevermind ;)
<3> fredk: you FAIL :P
<13> SERV FAIL
<14> fredk-: so, like, when we _do_ get sun is this town, beer it is, right?
<13> Jostein, sure
<10> well, near midnight here so heading for my bed
<3> later Dave
<14> fredk-: Oh well. Im technically about to escape this irc thing and get some sleep
<13> just technically?
<14> fredk-: Im watching some hilarious japanese show
<13> hehe
<7> hmm. I need a good CSS editor, me thinks
