Hey,
Just wanted to follow up on this.
I bought a new system board for this machine and it came to the 'OK> ' prompt straight away. I reckon the old board was a dud!
I actually found Rust on the fan chassis, suggesting that it had perhaps not been stored properly in the fast. I treated it with rust cleaner and wire-wooled it best I could. Finger crossed it lives on!
Thanks to everyone here for helping to diagnose the old board. Much appreciated.

I recently acquired a server for home use. Currently, I'm running a V210. I was wondering of a way to basically swap hard drives into the V440.

I'm currently trying to move a perfectly find harddrive from a V210 to a V440. From what I can tell, the disk labeling a bit different, (V210 is c1t0d0 and V440 is c0t0d0). My question is, what all do I have to change to get the V440 to boot off of this with very little complications. Right now, it... (21 Replies)

Hey,
I have a V210 with a failed CPU fan.
The temperature is currently at 84C and I've been asked to wait a few weeks before replacing as its a production system and it cant be shut down yet.
Is it too hot? Do I risk killing the CPU at this temp?
Its been like this for a few weeks now... (5 Replies)

i2c_register_board_info
I2C_REGISTER_BOARD_I(9) I2C and SMBus Subsystem I2C_REGISTER_BOARD_I(9)
NAME
i2c_register_board_info - statically declare I2C devices
SYNOPSIS
int i2c_register_board_info(int busnum, struct i2c_board_info const * info, unsigned len);
ARGUMENTS
busnum
identifies the bus to which these devices belong
info
vector of i2c device descriptors
len
how many descriptors in the vector; may be zero to reserve the specified bus number.
DESCRIPTION
Systems using the Linux I2C driver stack can declare tables of board info while they initialize. This should be done in board-specific init
code near arch_initcall time, or equivalent, before any I2C adapter driver is registered. For example, mainboard init code could define
several devices, as could the init code for each daughtercard in a board stack.
The I2C devices will be created later, after the adapter for the relevant bus has been registered. After that moment, standard driver model
tools are used to bind "new style" I2C drivers to the devices. The bus number for any device declared using this routine is not available
for dynamic allocation.
The board info passed can safely be __initdata, but be careful of embedded pointers (for platform_data, functions, etc) since that won't be
copied.
