Have you tried (re)installing the NIC's drivers?

HWF Kernels winding down Hey all, First off, my thanks to all those who've chosen to run our custom kernels these last 3 years. It's been fun, and hopefully these hardware-optimized kernels have been useful to you. I know your feedback over the years has definitely been helpful to me...

Kernel 2.6.32.27 available 2.6.32.27 is currently syncing to the server and will be available momentarily. This release contains many x86-specific bugfixes, including some security fixes, so it is highly recommended to upgrade to the latest HWF kernel. Get HWF kernels here 2.6.32.27 Changelog

Kernel 2.6.32.26 available 2.6.32.26 is currently syncing to the server and will be available momentarily. This release contains many fixes to the USB subsystem as well as some scheduler and x86-specific bugfixes. Get HWF kernels here 2.6.32.26 Changelog

Can you please post the output of /sbin/ifconfig, /etc/network/interfaces, netstat -rn, lspci, and dmesg? It might be best to output these to text files, tar the results and post them as a single attachment. Also, if you have a mixed static / DHCP network scope, is it possible that something...

Well, Xen uses QEMU to run HVM domains, not KVM, so there really isn't much of a practical difference. In a Xen environment, KVM (or kqemu) is simply used to accelerate HVM domains. PV domains aren't affected either way, and that's really where Xen shines.

Yup, this sounds like a chicken/egg bug between Deb's implementation of KVM and Xen. Of course, in Xen you're not directly using KVM anyway, but merely its kernel hooks to accelerate QEMU for HVM domains. You can get similar results in Lenny by using the kqemu module, which doesn't require any...

Hmmm, does /dev/kvm already exist?

Are you running a 32-bit or 64-bit kernel in Xen?

blank-me-not.sh New script on TuxHelp.org: blank-me-not.sh – A wrapper script to disable power saving while running the application of your choice. Normally you'd want your screensaver to come on automatically when your system doesn't see any keyboard or mouse input for some period of time...

If you like the way that router functions otherwise, it might be worth it for you to try replacing the AC / DC brick. They usually cost between $5-20/USD, + shipping, and is not guaranteed to solve the problem. If this isn't worth it to you, it might just be best to replace that router...

Kernel 2.6.32.25 available 2.6.32.25 is currently syncing to the server and will be available momentarily. If you noticed that we've skipped 2.6.32.24, that's because it only had a Xen-specific fix and these are not Xen-enabled kernels. Get HWF kernels here 2.6.32.25 Changelog

The best CPU your motherboard supports is the X2 4800+. The good news is you can get one really cheap; they're like $50-60/USD new. The bad news is it definitely won't last you for 2-3 years if you plan on doing any heavy duty gaming, since it's already a few generations old. If you want a...

Kernel 2.6.32.23 available Thanks for the follow-up. I think I've figured out what's happening here. The /proc/acpi/event mechanism has been deprecated since 2.6.24, but Debian's kernels have been patched in order to continue to provide that legacy behavior. My own 32-bit Atom boxes are being...

Have you tried Clonezilla?

Your old motherboard had an NVidia chipset, and the new one has an Intel chipset. Both use different metadata to designate fake-RAID members, which are not compatible with eachother.

Thanks for your interest. I'm in the process of rewriting my build scripts to allow for a) 64-bit builds and b) newer kernel versions. Unfortunately I work full time in IT as a sysadmin -- I am essentially always on-call -- and have a young family as well, so time is not a luxury I possess in...

Kernel 2.6.32.23 available You're welcome. :) Sorry to hear you're having issues. It works for me on my ATOM machines; pressing the power button triggers an immediate ACPI shutdown. Was it working for you with the stock kernel? What happens in dmesg after you push the button? Is 'acpid'...

Kernel 2.6.32.23 available 2.6.32.23 has been uploaded to the server, get it while it's hot! Get HWF kernels here 2.6.32.23 Changelog

Kernel 2.6.32.22 available 2.6.32.22 has been uploaded to the server. This server contains many bugfixes, but the largest concentration of patches were aimed at the scheduler. As usual, it's recommended to upgrade if you're running a HWF kernel. Get HWF kernels here 2.6.32.22 Changelog
