			<description><![CDATA[A couple of years ago I worked in a Tech shop where my manager was a big fan of using Stress Linux to ensure that the systems were working well. I am pretty certain we were using 0.3.1rc1 and that it was the latest version at the time. That version also fits with the time frame I worked that job. I left before the new version was released.<br />
<br />
I am, once again, needing to stress test a system so I came hunting for the tools I once used. I was a bit disappointed to see that the change log (http://www.stresslinux.org/release/Changelog) still reads 31.05.2006. Is this project still active? I see people on the forums so I know that it is being used and the versions listed on the Software page (http://www.stresslinux.org/software.php) are not far off of the most current versions. Maybe I am looking at the wrong page to get the current versions?<br />
<br />
Please don't take offense at this because I am not trying to be rude. I hope that the project is still active but such an old change log has me a bit worried.<br />
<br />
Thanks!]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Hi, nice work this distro.<br />
I was looking for something like this for a long time (about 8-9 months).<br />
<br />
I have Asus P4P800-X with Celeron 2.4ghz prescott<br />
and P4P800 with P4 3ghz ht prescott.<br />
On both mb it will not start the sensors (i tryed to config the sensor-detect), i cp /etc/sensors... and still couldnt start .<br />
<br />
On tty12 it write:<br />
"Can't access procfs/sysfs file<br />
Unable to find i2c bus information<br />
For kenrel 2.6make sure it has...."<br />
<br />
The burnP6 thing will not take the Celeron to easy to 100%, and even then, it will not speed up the fan.<br />
If i do make clean && make && make modules_install for kernel, on a gentoo distro that is compiled only for this pc (Celeron) (make -j2, march=prescott, make and gcc compiled to take advantage of any resource for this system only) it will speed up the fans in about 4-5 secs, the burnP6 did not speed up the fan for over 1 min.<br />
Process burnP6 take about 10-12 secs until it take the cpu to load 99.x%.<br />
On p4 it increase faster, fan speed up.<br />
<br />
I don't care to much about sensors, but i really like to know in realtime (or 2s/update..) the temp of my cpu when running the tests, what options i do have using the latest stresslinux iso (031)?<br />
<br />
On both mb in bios it write the cpu temp, fan speed etc, this means the mb has somkind of monitoring.<br />
<br />
You are doing a great job!]]></description>

<br />
I ran lshw on the notebook, thinking it may give me something I could use. Here's the snippet that I think is relevant to my mainboard (although I doubt it's really that helpful):<br />

 *-firmware<br />
...<br />
<br />
I also tried googling info on my notebook, to get some details on the motherboards vendor or type - no luck there.<br />
<br />
Can I use stress linux to test either of these machines? If so, what mainboard should I be selecting?<br />
<br />
If I my motherboard isn't on the list, what tests can I run using stress linux?]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[What's the status of this work?? I have some systems that flake out and panic every few days and I'm looking for a way to stress test/reproduce the problems on demand. <br />
<br />
I tried the latest SL ISO download and it crashes before the login prompt. <br />
<br />
My system is a 2 x dual core Opteron (Western Scientific Fusion SA server-- based on a SuperMicro board and enclosure).  Nothing fancy (no overclocking, etc).<br />
<br />
Thanks-<br />

			<description><![CDATA[The StressLinux distro seems like a great platform for doing stress-testing and benchmarking of systems.  That said, it's limited by the time of the developer(s), what they have access to, etc.<br />
<br />
I'd like to do some customizing to support hardware platforms I'm dealing with, e.g. Supermicro motherboards and Adaptec 2130SLP RAID controllers.  The Adaptec controller isn't currently being detected (doesn't show a driver loading in dmesg), and none of the Supermicro boards I'm working with are listed in sl-wizards.  sensors-detect does a fair job of finding the hardware, so the lm_sensors package obviously supports the chips, though it sometimes misreads the values.<br />
<br />
So my question is whether there's any practices or methods I should follow in customizing the distro for my needs (e.g. modifying sl-wizards to support more boards natively), without causing problems for any other scripts, and whether there's benefit in me contributing any changes I make.  The documentation is sparse, and while most things are self-explanatory, development style and roadmap is not always so straight-forward.<br />
<br />
Thanks.<br />
<br />
EDIT: Just booted up one of the systems to test ... loading the aacraid module finds the controller, it's just not getting loaded automatically.  The 7902's do get recognized automatically.  Is this an issue of driver support statically compiled into the kernel, while others are dynamically loaded modules?]]></description>
