The following patch, not yet accepted into the kernel, should allow
local TCP connections to start up faster, while remote ones keep the
same behavior of slow start.

Hi David
Some of the built-in 3Com Ethernet 100 interfaces on
Tyan S2466[-4M] motherboards we have here became flaky/failed
after many years of use.
Those are main boards in in several standalone workstations/PCs.
I don't administer those systems, but I believe the symptoms
were somewhat random,
Hi Jess:
With Xen-based kernels, you should be using the xen.gz "kernel"
instead of vmlinuz. Here's what a grub entry looks like for booting
Xen-based kernels:
title CentOS (2.6.18-164.el5xen)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /xen.gz-3.4.0
module /vmlinuz-2.6.18-164.el5xen ro root=/de

I'm calling BS on that one. While possible, I suspect the human
projectiles were CG'ed in.

You talked a lot about the BIOS but didn't say if it was a 6 year old
Linux version. Presumably your old mobos worked fine with the same
version of Linux that this guy is failing with, but s

Dear Beowulfers
Did anybody ever get Gigabit Ethernet NICs to work on
the Tyan Tiger S2466-4M motherboards under Linux?
If so, I would appreciate any words of wisdom about which
NICs work, the appropriate BIOS settings,
which PCI slots to use, etc.

You folks will recall that Intel, a while ago, stopped enabling their
compiler's highest optimization levels for chips that weren't "Genuine
