Hardware update...

Aquin is doing better now, thank you for asking.  I thought I had some memory issues (the old sticks of 72-pins giving up the ghost).  I'm not sure now.

I'm compiling up Linux 2.6.10 on aquin at this time.  Initially, there was some problems -- GCC would report a Segfault in exactly the same file.  Given that the hardware was donated by a in-state fur, I went in and swapped the memory out with stuff I had.  I also checked the Pentium chip in there, which I had assumed was a P-100Mhz, instead of the 75Mhz the guy said.  Popped off the heatsink, and... lo and behold, it is a 75Mhz Pentium there.  The motherboard was set wrong.  Set the jumper back over, and it's compiling slower, but safely this time.

At least it has PCI slots.

(no subject)

Whee!!! Turns out I had a Pentium 100Mhz proccessor on hand.  I'm now recompiling the kernel to stress-test it again.  If it works, I'll have a nice system to test stuff on.  Too bad I had to junk an ethernet card.  I forget if I fried it a few years ago, but another's working.
