ASUS P5AB has some bug in the lmsensor hardware and needs monitoring to be disabled. But mostly cpu overheating or ram overheating due to cpu overheating. Change the cpu heatsink to a larger one (the one used on celeron). You can now overclock a bit. Add an extra chasis fan or run the system without a cover. I am using two K6-2 550MHz systems one with celeron heatsink and one open cabinet. Both work perfectly. > > Possibly related: Linux requires the no-hlt boot parameter, > otherwise kernel oops. At least with 2.2.x kernels. Mine runs on 2.4.18 kernel. Earlier it ran RH6.2 and potato. rgds jtdsouza(a)softhome.net

[OT]? AMD system turns off by itself
by Satya 17 Feb '03

17 Feb '03

AMD K6-2, slightly underclocked, turns off spontaneously. The only thing I suspect is heat damage to the CPU or mainboard, and want to confirm if possible before I buy a replacement. Turn-off is independent of activity, OS, and ambient temperature (happens in Windows, Linux, with and without A/C). System has 2 hard drives. The whole thing is about 3-4 years old. It is not a power supply problem, as I changed the SMPS with no effect. The power switch seems ok, I will check the reset button later. Possibly related: Linux requires the no-hlt boot parameter, otherwise kernel oops. At least with 2.2.x kernels. -- Satya. <URL:http://satya.virtualave.net/> I only counted 100 Dalmatians...

Re: [ilug-goa] Responce to CM's Comments......we need to help em out
by Trevor Warren 16 Feb '03

16 Feb '03

Hello all, good-evening. There are various perspectives to this story here. One of the most important ones to be looked into an introspected on is the need for proper documentation/training along with the machines that are being dolled out the students in goa. Lets not give the government an oppurtunity to complain. If we have given so...then lets learn from those mistakes of ours. We should make it a point to have setup the appropriate infrastructure to support such a noble cause. Any of us who has the capability to bridge the gap between the techies and the bureaucracy should make it a point to touch base with the appropriate authorities and brief them on a plan of action. Any investment can guarantee ROI only if the same is executed in a valiant fashion with due planning. If any of these important elements fail to live up to the expectations the ROI can be nullified to a great extent. So....lets get together, sit across the table, hash out a plan and chalk out a strategy to get back the earlier plan of GOG on the road again. Am ready for any sales pitches to be made to any of the imp beaureaucrats. Infact if any of us from the Bombay Gnu-LUG can help out please let us know.....we will be ready to attack. Have a nice day all...and lets all get together and do our best.

PPPD is not geting activated
by Vinod Bhaskar 15 Feb '03

15 Feb '03

Hi friends, When I connect to the net using wvdial, some times, pppd is not geting activated. But connection is through. This is happening not regularly. Some times pppd will be activated and there won't be any data transmission. The problem which I am facing is the set of uploading command in my ip-up.local file is not geting executed some times. But when I connect through kppp dialer, there is no problem. pppd is geting activated always and there is proper data transmission. It is functioning well whenever I connect through it. I had set crontab for wvdial for dialing the net at regular intervel. Please suggest me how to overcome the problem. Regards, Vinod.
