SubjectATX motherboards, Realtek Ethernet & SMP
DateSun, 7 Jun 1998 03:17:47 -0300
Hi!  I have two questions and one observation. ;-)

- Are there any plans to add ATX support in Linux?  (I mean not just turning
off the computer at shutdown:).  I work with a ATX board and you can get
information about everything inside the damn thing, like CPU temperatures,
fan speed, etc.  Wouldn't it be great to have /dev's showing these
informations?  You could even build a "poor man's" watchdog daemon... :P
Are there any technical information concerning these aspects?  Maybe in the
end it boils down to reading BIOS data?

- I have a Realtek 8021 ethernet card that is being recognized as a NE-2000
compatible.  Anyone here uses this card?  It is good?  This question is
related to the observation:

- My system suffers from the black screen of death syndrome. :(  The longest
uptime is seven days.  I know that eventually the computer will lock up:) I
have some "theories" concerning this:

    . On all the occasions of the lockup SMP was enabled (I have 2 PII's),
      As for now, the system is running for 3 days in UP.

    . bad memory -- i'm waiting to see if it is the SMP ;) I hope I'll
      wait forever :))

    . buggy hardware (like some 3com cards) -- i have seen reports of
      people having the black screen o' death with some 3com cards.
      That's why I asked about the Realtek.

Good night to everyone! ;)
