Ok, I just build another server, also using an Intel D815EAL. Same exact
setup as the other one. Celeron 600cpu w/ 128mb ram (PC133 btw). both
systems lockup doing ftp transfers. I didn't know for sure about the first
one, so I just opened up an ncftp session and downloaded something large
from the internet. Netscape 6 was what I found (not planning on installing
it btw), didn't get very far then locked up tight. twice in a row. no
errors, nothing, nothing to report either.
So, I built another. i have parts for 2 of them (almost ready for the
garbage) so i put together the second. i can hardly download anything.
can't even get down new rpm or source code for the new kernels. i'm on my
last nerve here and about to throw the motherboards out the window. I don't
understand how you guys make these motherboards work. what am i missing?
i'm so fed up. 3 weeks lost and no servers to show for it. my boss is so
pissed.
do you guys have any input? where else can i go to find out about these
boards?
Thanks,
Rob
