Every now and then a Llamasoftie will say something interesting. Honestly! This is where we will keep these topics so that they don't get deleted.

ERK! I guess the increase load of inquisitive yakites has upset my poor box :) ah well the joys of running a multiple CPU SPARC under linux eh.. spinlocks a wa-hoo (hence crappy with the old DB's :/ )

Which kernel are you using? Just curious :)

[I, uh, made my box unbootable by switching kernels...my boot ROM can't see into the second half of my boot partition, cos I thought I had the newest OpenBoot revision and I didn't :oops:]

2.4.26 I think.. it's irrelivant the openboot stuff is a pain.. hence make a /boot partition the 1st thing on the disk and about 50MB in size :)

you MAY be able to boot your system with old kernel if you use the magic commands on the openboot screen.. you can tell it which device to boot from etc...

I am looking at replacing it with a shiny T1 anyway :)

Yeah, I know that now ;)

No, everything's past the first gig of the disk. Just needs a reformat with a more sensible structure, and a new OpenBoot ROM wouldn't go amiss either :)

Well I have won one, so hopefully in the next week I'll have finished playing with it and replace the current system with it :)

If the box proves nippy enough I would be happy to host the whole of yakyak on it FOC.

I'll post when it turns up along with piccies :)

I have migrated everything over to my Shiney new Netra T1 440 MHz of 64bit SPARC lovelyness.

much faster, also single CPU so no pesky spinlocks :)

If hosting any parts of the site need some space on my server give me a yell, can always setup an account on there for you to test on.

Any further news on this?

Server is up and happy and serving all my sites a LOT quicker. Also just added an additional drive to it, so plenty of free space atm.
