is it better to run a scsi hd as system hd and a 120gb ide as storage hd?
issues are speed and data access

is it possbile to boot from a pci card ?

no problem

how fast can the hpt366 controller get?
i need a faster way to use my hdd speed. actually my hdd is on ide0,
i cant use ide 2-3 and i cant boot with them.
do i need a ultra 133 bootable pci controller?

so everything worked fine and gentoo runs stable since 4 days now. i used the flags given above.

i think i have the latest RU , said the seller. i dont think i have an old 40 pin cable . . why doesnt ide3 work? which card should i buy?

i bought a bp6 with 2 533mhz celerons. so now i have an 120gb wd hd an master and a cd drive on slave both on ide3 (udma66), but they werent recognize from the bios. i need help , wanna install gentoo today.

i will post my results of my gentoo installation with the confs purrkur has had posted soon. and i will run rrdtool as well as on my xbox to monitor my dual cpus etc.

// YOU DONT NEED AT LEAST ONE WEEK TO INSTALL GENTOO.
GENTOO.ORG HAS VERY GOOD MANUALS.WITH THEM YOU CAN MAKE IT IN SEVERAL HOURS.

ok,can i boot from the HPT366 controller?
i dont wanna use such a new hd with 7200 and 8mb cache . my dual will run as an router or something similar. i hope my 230watt pwer supply will work fine.

how fast is the onboard hd controller , can i use new hds and use their full speed and power , what limits does the controller have?

how 2 years after the start of this thread.
i wanna be gentoo

constant power supply of course. i do not need a video card , only for setting up the server. is more than 3oo watt really required?

i wanna run the bp6 with 2 cpus passiv cooled , 2 * 256mb sdram pc 133, 2 nics and one hdd 60gb.
is 300 watt enough?
maybe i put 2 cooler on the cpus.

ok , so i need a single or a double-sided ram stick , right ? i mean if bp6 recognized it as a 256mb one.

ok , thanks.
