Just so I understand better, in the file /tftpboot/linux-install/pxelinux.cfg/ changing from eth0 to eth1 the line append ksdevice=eth1 [etc.] does not solve the problem? I've had similar problems but I don't remember how we solved it, we tried everything randomly and in a semi-panic. But since

I've all manner of enumeration problems like this with HP hardware, going back to the DL145G2 series. I've neither seen, nor tried, any firmware fixes. It's massively annoying, to be sure. I've a DL385 with 4 on-board NICs labeled as NET1 to NET4. They are correspondingly enumerated as eth2, e

I have been predisposed so I missed the beginning of this thread (seems like a good thing) In any case, years ago there was some people suggesting that both cost and power be added to the Top500 results. The cost issue was just as contentious as it is now. As I recall, the discussion always came

Hi all, can anyone tell me what kind of efficiency you're seeing on Magny-Cours and Westmere systems? by efficiency, I mean actual HPL performance as a fraction of cores * clock * 4 flops/cycle. I realize some of this can be drived from top500 results, but I'd also be be interested in single-
