will Fedora 12 support my processor, an Intel Core i7-720QM Quad Core?
when I reformat ubuntu, I use AptonCD to save packages and then restore them without downloading anything over again. what I want to know is: I have the 32 bits ubuntu installed and then I downloaded the 64 bits version. If i reformat to the 64 bits one, would the DVD saved aptoncd packages from the 32 bits work on the 64 bits installation?
View 4 Replies View RelatedIn the past, I've deployed new 64 bit systems and I've worked on and developed on 64 bit systems. But until a week ago, my workstation was a 32 bit system. Now, it is a 64 bit quad core Phenom II system, and I suppose I need to start the migration to 64 bit Linux. I do not want to blow off my system and rebuild it. This particular system dates back a decade and through many many updates. There is some digital debris in it, but there is also a fair amount of customization that I have implemented either for my own purposes or for customers, and to lose that customization would represent a headache for me.
What I want to do is install a 64 bit system over top of the 32 bit system. It is my hope that doing this would install the necessary 64 bit libraries, while not impacting the existing 32 bit libraries (except with some possible symlink problems). I then, hopefully, could boot into a 64 bit kernel while still running 32 bit programs. Is this feasible? My backup system is comprehensive; I COULD just try it and back up if my system became hosed. But I'd rather not; I have a lot of work to do and I'd rather not learn by doing in this case.
Sadly, I google'd the heck out of this and even the vmware community has no answers. So, I decided to turn to the experts and see if you can provide a better solution than [URL]. The system sees both CPU's and all of the cores (cat /proc/cpuinfo). I have tried with HT and without HT (I never run HT anymore; seems to hurt performance in my workloads). I've tried the recent and newest kernels for CentOS 5.4 and still have no luck. There seems to be lots of people having this issue, but no real solutions.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI installed Fedora 15 on my relatively new Laptop machine and stumbled upon an odd thing:Even though my CPU is an Intel i7-640M dual core (2x 2.8 Ghz) it somehow seems to be recognized as a quad. System monitor shows 4 CPUs (all of the used to some extend) and even "cat /proc/cpuinfo" gives me 4 processors:

processor: 0

At the same time the system (while relatively stable) is incredibly slow when it comes to complicated calculations (I do neuron simulations on a custom C++ framework).

View 5 Replies View RelatedSystem recognizes that CPU is capable of throttling, but there is no module to govern it. So Xeon always runs at full frequency.This is not convenient as my server is not always in full use, so I would like it to lower power consumption, especially for AC, with frequency scaling enabled.Can you help me is this some bug, misconfiguration in default kernel or guys who writes kernel think that scaling is not necessary for servers processors?
From my analysis so far, I think that the issue lies with the fact that module acpi-cpufreq does not support Xeons and that there is no dedicated module for this processor family (e.g. p4-clockmod) module in the default kernel.
I'm building a new router for my home. I have a pci-x motherboard with two network connections on the motherboard, SUSE 11. I intended to use one network connection for the external zone and the other for the Internal zone, (the internal port going to a four port switch). Recently, a friend gave me an "Intel PRO 1000 MT PCI-X Quad-Port Adapter C32199" which will plug into my motherboard, presumably giving me a total of 6 (4+2) network connections. 1) Can it be as simple as setting one network connection to "external zone" and the other five to "Internal zone", and plug my other computers into the internal zone connectors, eliminating the need for a switch?
2) There seem to be a lot of these QUAD server adapters on Ebay; how where they originally used?
3) Can I dedicate one internal net-port for some exclusive traffic (e.g. all mail, going to network connector 3, connected to the mail server)? IPtable rules?

View 2 Replies View Related! I'm thinking of buying a corei5-660 on a motherboard with an Intel H55 Express Chipset. Does anyone know if it's fully compatible with OpenSUSE 11.3? I mean video (that comes from the processor, not an off-board PCI), audio (HD Audio), networking (Intel� 82578DC Gigabit), SATA Controller, USB, etc. I've tried to google but didn't find much info so I wonder if anyone is using or knows where I can find more info about it...
I have found this thread on the forums about the H55 chipset: Core i3 Intel Clarkdale graphic controller problem But the problems were facing on 11.2, I don't know about 11.3...
I've installed Suse linux 11.3 (kernel 2.6.34.7-0.5) on my brand new computer HP all in one 5130. Everything worked incredibly well : Wifi, wireless keyboard and mouse, sound, webcam.. There is only one remaining issue : I get a very poor resolution (1280x1024) instead of the 1920x1080 allowed by the screen. The graphic card is an intel chipset (HD graphics) integrated to an intel core i3 CPU. Here is (part of) the X11.org log :

I've been using Linux (Fedora) since 2005 (when I happily abandoned Windows) and loved every minute of it. No installation or other unresolvable problems. But now, I am totally stuck. A month ago, they just gave me a new desktop in the office: Dell Optiplex 960 with the Intel Core 2 Duo vPro chip. So I waited for Fedora 11 to come out, burned the x86-64 Install Media on a DVD, repartitioned the hard drive like I always do on new Windoze machines, and began installing. The install process gets to this announcement and stops:
mounting /tmp as tmpfs... done Then, after a 5-minute wait, if I push the power button on the computer for a hard reboot, then it says:
running install running /sbin/loader and then stalls for good. Then all I can do is hard-reboot again.
So, out of curiosity (and for other reasons), I tried booting the machine from other linux disks: Knoppix, and SystemRescue (www.sysresccd.org). They all stall at different points. The funny thing is that both Fedora 11 x86-64 and SystemRescue happily boot on my personal one-year-old Lenovo T61 Intel Centrino Duo VPro laptop.
I get a feeling that somehow the Intel Core 2 Duo vPro is causing the problem. I also think that there is got to be someone else out there who either had this problem, or was able to install F11 on similar Dell box. Google search did not produce actionalbe answers for me.
When I am trying to install Fedora Core 10 into a XEN VM i get an error stating that images/xen directory does not exist on the DVD image.

Can someone tell me what the architecture of iMac Intel Core 2 Duo is? I am trying to figure out which of the following images given on the webpage below to download:[URL]..This is the list:
[alpha][amd64][arm][armel][hppa][i386][ia64][mips][mipsel][powerpc][sparc][s390][source][multi-arch]
I think there are two different images (namely i386 and ia64) for intel-based systems, right? Which one should I download for my Intel Core 2 Duo? Is this a 64-bit architecture? Should I use amd64?
What is the best debian iso that I should choose to install in a machine with intel core i7 second gen processor? amd64,ia64 or i386 ?
View 4 Replies View RelatedThis is a general technical question about Symmetric Multiprocessing in relation to the Intel Core i7. (Actually, it's more about Hyperthreading than i7.) My understanding is that Symmetric Multiprocessing means that the operating system treats all processors as identical, and therefore it can assign a new thread to any free processor.
And that i7 appears to the OS as 8 processors, 0 thru 7. But from a performance perspective, the 8 processors are not identical, because each core has 1 execution engine plus the ability to store the state of 2 threads. This is, as far as I understand it, the essence of Intel's Hyperthreading. So each execution engine can quickly switch between 2 threads without bothering the OS, but only one thread at a time actually executes.
Suppose, for example, all processors are idle and the OS assigns one thread to processor 0, then has a second thread to assign. Since all free processors are considered identical, the OS could assign the second thread to any free processor, say 1. The result would be that both threads are competing for the same execution engine, while the other 3 cores remain idle. Is my understanding of SMP correct?
If so, does linux SMP take full advantage of Intel Hyperthreading (which existed also in earlier Intel processors)? That is, does linux SMP assign threads in such a way that it attempts to choose an idle execution engine? I don't know what algorithm SMP actually uses to choose the processor. For example, it could be the first free processor, or any free processor chosen at random.How about Windows? How does it handle the situation?
Edit: I have also posted this question in linuxforums and phoronix forums. I hope this doesn't count as cross-posting, since those forums are not on this site and they have different readership. If it is indeed cross-posting, please let me know and I will avoid doing it in future.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have an HP Pavilion m7480n PC with Windows XP installed on the C-drive. I successfully installed FC 12 onto the spare USB drive. When I rebooted the PC all I got was a blinking underscore at the extreme upper left position of a totally black screen. After a bit of experimenting I found that if I hit the F1 key during the boot process, go into the BIOS setup, do nothing within the setup, and press ESC to get out of the setup then the PC will go back into the boot cycle a second time. During the second time however a small text message appears with words to the effect "Press any key to enter GRUB..." after which the GRUB splash screen comes up with the choice for FC 12 or "Other" (referring to Win XP). At that point I can boot into either one.
