Reconfigure

Madness is real.

I took the leap of faith, bought i7 930 based rig with insanely expensive motherboard (ASUS P6T Deluxe v2). Linux is up with my old installation with the following changes to kernel:

• Add Yukon etherenet support (sky2.ko module).
• Add w83627ehf module for sensors.
• AHCI for disks (Which borked the windows 7 install; fixable by enabling ahci in windows registry)
• And ofcourse SMP (incase you did not have it).
• Proprietary nvidia drivers for the video card.

Funny my DRAM speed went down to 1066 Mhz (from 1333) cant recollect why. Now I’ve ’set’ it to 1333.

BSNL changes.

BSNL cuts some customers over to some other network and stays silent. Some folks with the 5X.XX.. IP addresses would have encountered PPPoE auth failure unexpectedly with the ‘usage’ page telling that userid is suspended. They might have moved it to the 117.XX. network where the user id is of the form xx (xx being “ln” for Indiranagar, Bangalore) and password is just “password”. I wonder how they were expecting to notify the users about this change since they dont have any ACS or remote management stuff setup.
