You could try this:

modprobe f71882fg
sensors -s

It may require an lmsensors upgrade as well. I'll look into that.

Worked fine!  I'll be loading up the new native build by the end of the week.  I'll provide feedback.

OK so I copied over httpd.conf and smb.conf from 1.3.0 and added the file /etc/HOSTNAME with FAH.mydomain.com then ran /bin/hostname FAH
 
Seems to work but I think  I might have an older httpd.conf with some missing bits :)

Trying 1.4.0 Vbox version out on Virtualbox 4.1, however am having a few problems.

1. http service isn't working on
2. SMB is asking for a password when I try and browse to \\ip\fah

Not sure if its using BFS as stock as when I did a dmesg |grep BFS it came back with the BFS message. Can you confirm 1.4.0 is BFS?

Thanks mate

 
I tried out the image on my system via a couple virtual machines and it seemed to load okay including http and smb. Did this happen on first boot or after the BFS kernel install? Did the bootup message report a valid IP? Also, was the network adapter setup as bridged?
 
Thanks.

I just realized there is a newer version of lm-sensors supporting new devices. I should have loaded that in last time but will get it added in to the next update.

It's all good, no worries.
 
Also, thanks for fixing the issue were dual NICs would flip-flop between eth0 and eth1 after a reboot.  No more switching LAN cables for me!
 
I've got a few ideas for my own scripts... it might be time to brush up on my perl.

I'll test again, could have been a problem with my setup, but FYI it already had BFS installed, I didn't have to do anything.

When you boot up is it coming back with kernel 3.0.0? The latest image should have kernel 3.0.0. You can also do uname -r.

Not sure if this is an issue or not...
 
When you enable verbosity via the web interface, then go to the administration tab and stop/start, it starts the client with "-verbosity 7" instead of "-verbosity 9".
 
I changed my script so it runs with 9 instead of 7.  Not sure if you want to make a code change for the next release.  Perhaps adding a drop down selection for verbosity level like with the number of cores?

Not a problem. I'll add in a menu for setting verbosity 1 - 9.

Nice!  Once again, you the man!

I have made some minor updates to the virtual and native images. I added the option for setting verbosity level (1-9) for SMP and Uni clients via the web. The native image has an updated version of lmsensors which hopefully will provide better sensor detection for newer hardware. There were a few other misc fixes to some of the scripts.
 
The PXE image has some updates and fixes that can be found in the changelog. I loaded in a small http service that can be enabled or disabled via TFTP to allow for adding web-based tools. The latest image also has the option of adding a rc or cron file via NFS making it possible to add additional commands on boot and to setup additional cronjobs that are saved on reboot. The init image like the kernels is now compressed with xz + lzma2 resulting in a significantly smaller file.

I've been having some ISP trauma over the last few days and bandwidth is very low at the moment. The latest I've been told is that by Monday or Tuesday the issue should be fixed. I wanted to post this since connectivity to my web server via the links in the OP may be very slow.

Thanks for continuing to support your fantastic folding images! I see there are no package managers in the native install. Any chance of adding one in a future iteration in case we'd like to tweak it a bit? Also, have you given any further consideration to including tear's thekraken wrapper?
 
Cheers!

I could add in slapt-get for package management. The original images (except for the PXE image) were based on Slackware64 but have been heavily modified to work as a folding appliance. Most if not all Slackware packages not already installed should run okay.
 
A few months back I messaged back and forth with tear on adding thekraken into my images. There were a few items/concerns discussed regarding installation and management most of which I can handle. The one item that could become a problem down the road is support for future folding cores. Tear mentioned possibly adding a definition file to define support for future cores but I'm not sure he has had the chance to add that in. I can check back with him again. In the short term, it should be possible to add thekraken in manually and run the installation once the folding core is downloaded.
 
Thanks for the feedback.

For anyone wanting to monitor Core i7 frequencies accurately, here is a tool that can be downloaded via the images:
 
wget http://www.linuxforge.net/fah/img/i7z

LR, Does the latest image have the fix for the SR-2 Network adapters? 
 
 
EDIT: also is it possible to get support for tears The Kraken Wrapper? 

Thanks for the info! And thanks again for the awesome work you've done in making it easy for novice and veteran folders alike get the most out of their gear!

I believe other users are running my image with the SR-2. I don't have this board though so I have not been able to test it myself.

I'll see if I can post up a download with the compiled binary of thekraken.

With both of My SR-2s I have to use the bottom Lan port as it is picked up as the eth0 and it works fine.

That would be great I would like to try thekraken.
 
 

Hey LR, I have a question. Sorry if it's answered before, I didn't do a search to be honest.
When writing the image to a drive using the "write sdx" command, can we give a partition, as in "write hda4"?
 
Thanks man!

Looks like VMware Player 4.0 supports 8 CPUs. Just got it installed, going to see if it works. 
 
    Edit: Just tested, still limited to 4 CPUs

The image includes the MBR and file system so unfortunately writing to hda4 or a partition would not work. There might be a way to do this with dd using an offset so only the file system is written. I'll have to look into that. You would also need some kind of boot loader to load up the system if written to a partition.

That is unfortunate. I had hoped the next major release would support at least 16-processors. I wonder if the if with the newer versions that the application will only support physical cores and not virtual cores from HT resulting in a 4 CPU limit.
 
Thanks for giving it a try.

That is odd. I have VMware Fusion 4.0 installed on my CTO 27" iMac Core i7 2600 3.4GHz and it will support 8 CPUs. Runs Ubuntu Natty just fine.

Fusion is a paid for version of VMware and like Workstation for the PC supports up to virtual CPU's
 
Vmware Player is free.

Did you try changing the cpuid.coresPerSocket in the vmx file? As per
 
It definitely says on the site that you can run up to 8 virtual CPU's on v4.
 
I'll have to have a play.

Per user request, I have had two features to the bonus point calculator:
 
1) Added a link called "Load all projects". This will load all projects including those with a kfactor of 0 such as GPU projects.
 
2) Added a link called "Override fields". This will add several input fields that will let you override the default deadlines and k-factor for a project.

Sorry this is a few months late on responding, but no I didn't try that. Did you have any luck with it?

Probably nothing new, but I installed your stand-alone Linux image on a ESXi VM today, works like a champ!  Thank you for the awesome work you've done on this!
