Thanks folks!

Thanks folks!

Anyone have a copy of this latest BIOS already downloaded that they can post as a reply to this message, PM me or email me?

Thanks!

Thanks guys! I'll see if I can get the LED leads to connect directly to the PCI board.

OK BP6 gurus:

Is this possible on the BP6? The contoller card has the pin outs for it, but I can't find any external controller card input the board for this.

Thanks!

This works fine. Need to set the boot mode to have EXT first, and EXT = SCSI. So SCSI doesn't really mean SCSI. If you have multiple controller cards, I assume the frist one detected on boot up wins.

I have a 3ware RAID controller card and a Promise ATA133 controller card in my system (bp6 based obviously ). I want the single drive on the promise controller to be the boot HD. Can I setup the BP6 to do this?

Thanks!

Thanks for the pointer, I'll check it out.

Gentoo rocks!

I've been running Gentoo from a stage 1 install on a Pentium 200 for a couple years! Talk about a long install time . That being said, it was just a fileserver/home gateway, i.e. no x-windows. So post install performance wasn't that big of a deal.

I'm going to be installing Gentoo Linux on it over the weekend. Given that Gentoo builds most of itself from source, that should be a good judge of the procs ability.

I haven't even put an OS on it yet, so I don't know what speed it will realistically run at, but I am surprised at how high it will POST. That being said, one of the procs dropped at 600 or so, but the other one keeps taking the abuse .

Thanks Dave!

Hi, I'm overclocking my BP6 with dual 500MHz cel. Upon post, it only displays certain resultant frequencies as follows: 7.5 mult. @ 66 fsb POST displays 500 (ok) 7.5 mult. @ 72 fsb POST displays 533 (ok) 7.5 mult. @ 75 fsb POST displays 563 (ok) 7.5 mult. @ 78 fsb POST displays 550 (should be ~585) ...
