Compaq Server Woes

Tuesday, February 7th, 2006

Still on the Compaq Servers, I have officially given up running linux on them.

I couldn’t find a way to make it reset when told to restart, and having a machine that you can’t restart remotely is bad.

Under Windows, it restarts fine … doesn’t shut down though.

Meh.

The end of the Compaq Saga

MS Loopback Adapter

Sunday, January 15th, 2006

I was installing the OpenAFS tools on one of my Windows 2000 machines and it kept failing, I wasn’t reading the install (left it unattended twice) but I noticed on the third attempt it was stalling on “connecting to the MS Loopback Adapter”. It is probably in the documentation (but the wiki was down and I was feeling like having an adventure)

Anyway, I linked to the MS support page for installing the Loopback Adapter in Win2k.

Have Fun !
