Well,
I gotta keep on trying. I have installed kernel 2.4.19. I am compiling for AMD Duron. First of all, I had to reboot twice during a compile! this caused no end of problems. Once I had installed the kernel, the system froze on me again!
Since then, I have had no problems. I’ve been able to sustain several reboots without incident.
Lets just hope that I’ve got the thing all set up!

Well, the web server crashed again last night. After a stunning 3 days of uptime. But, it didn’t last. Tonight, i gotta get a newer kernel.
Or else…
The Duron web server is healthy. It has not crashed in about 4 days — which is a good thing.
DSL however is very sporadic. SBC seems to have me configured to be usable during the day, and not during the evening.

These files are the output from `ping -c 100′. You can see that the file sizes seem to change between about 8pm and 8am. This is because the ping is only partially successful and there is packet loss.
What a pain…
I dont know about this Duron CPU from AMD.
I’ve been running one for the webserver for about 36 hours now, and all I have to say is: YUCK!
This thing wont stay up for more then 24 hours. It’s worse than Mickeysoft!

Well, I’m moved in. Plus I’ve got new computers running the infrastructure here! Two equivalent machines serving the web stuff and the database stuff.
At first I thought that Duron Processors were not going to be reliable, then I rebuilt my kernel without AGP support, and so far no problems.
I’ll have more later.

I bought a house!
It’s at 7720 Lansdowne.
So I’m moving this week. When the site goes down, you know why - I took the web server down for the move!
