| |
Dear all,
It is my first post to this mailing list, so I am sorry for my English and the possible mistakes that I could make. I have read through the information of the FAQs and search a little bit but I have not found an answer to my question, so here it goes:
I have a Red Hat 7.2 linux box as a web server. I am still in the proccess of tuning the system.
It is a: AMD K7 Athlon two HD IDE 60 Gbs 3Com Network card no sound card general video card Mother board Soltek 75drv4 Chipset VT8367 KT266A
I am compiling a non-modular kernel, due to I do not have so much hardware and I have read that this makes the kernel faster.
I have executed a lspci to get the information of the mother board shown above. I have downloaded the latest linux stable kernel 2.4.19 and I have not found which chipset would be the best to use.
By the way I have created a Software RAID-1 with the two IDE hard drives.
My issue is that when I try to shutdown the system I experimented two things:
- The system is not shutdown completely, I got a Power down message and I got to power off the PC.
- When I reboot the system and even when the system is shutting down, I have seen messages from the system saying that the RAID is not properly switched off dued to not a properly shutdowned system.
I hope I have narrowed enough my question and give enough information for you guys.
Many thanks in advance
