I'd like to use vacm and it's IPMI support on a 2.4 kernel: any idea if a: whoever at va was working on IPMI support for 2.2 is still employed there or b: if anyone elsewhere has done IMPI support for the linux kernel ? thanks ==rob -- [ Rob Latham <rl...@pl...> Developer, Admin, Alchemist ] [ Paralogic Inc. - www.plogic.com ] [ ] [ EAE8 DE90 85BB 526F 3181 1FCF 51C4 B6CB 08CC 0897 ] |

Well I'm still here.. lol... although not in software engineering anymore... I haven't decided what to do about vacm... its difficult to get hardware specs when you're just a lone guy doing the project.. but we'll see... I need to figure it out... among a zillion other things.... There is a 2.4 driver.. ill dig it up -----Original Message----- From: vac...@li...

I believe that driver is not smp safe and as such using the watchdog functionality can cause spontaneous hardware watchdog resets.. undesirable enough? :) -san (still digging) -----Original Message----- From: Rob Latham [mailto:rl...@pl...] Sent: Thursday, September 13, 2001 11:12 AM To: San Mehat Cc: 'Rob Latham'; vac...@li...

You don't want to have a driver that eats up a single cpu on a production system.

Heh. Which is why there is a note indicating the driver should not be used with 2.4 -----Original Message----- From: Ard van Breemen [mailto:ar...@te...] Sent: Friday, September 14, 2001 4:31 AM To: San Mehat Cc: 'Rob Latham'; vac...@li...

Hi, this is not my observation. i am running it on a couple of 2.4 vacm clients and one server since a while. i see odd effects, which means, sometimes it's working and sometimes it's not. but other than that those SMP systems are fine... ~dirkw On Fri, 14 Sep 2001, San Mehat wrote: > Heh.
