    VP6 and Linux

    Well....its been a couple months since I put Mandrake 10.1 on the one VP6. Its one of 4 machines on a Belkin KVM switch. I seem to have to reboot the LInux box at least once a week. I switch over to it and the machine is locked up. No OCing, no screensaver, no power saving stuff at all.

    Mouse and keyboard are USB.

    The only thing running is RC5-72 from distributed.net.

    I'm thinking that maybe Linux don't like the KVM...... :?

    Anyone have similar experiences????

      linux works with my kvm perfectly... and if linux didn't like something, it would probably cause panics/oopses, not hard lockups.

      Start with general troubleshooting... I assume you've checked the caps.

      Check/swap ram, cards, power supply, etc...

          LOL Check the caps Mikey!! HAHAHA

          I actually had a similar experience with a KVM switch, until I got a nice Cybex. I'd switch it back to the Linux server (with the old KVM), and it would appear the system had froze, no KB or mouse. However, the system was a web server, and the sitte was still up, so I knew the machine was still alive. I'd get a PS2 KB & mouse for it, USB KB's and mice are a PITA as it is. Or try another KVM.

              The caps "look" good, but its a refurb from Abit. I might just replace them just because.

              I'm going to pull it off the KVM and just put a monitor and PS2 KB and mouse on it to see if it makes a difference. If it runs fine, I'll see how USB KB and mouse do. Should pretty much tell me where the weak link is.

              Been busy with work so I don't have the time to put into this stuff that I'd like to.

                  Micro Momentary Push Switch?
                  by Natob82
                  Great to be here! I'm a newbie here trying to find a "micro", momentary push switch to repair a Sony "clamshell" video walkman. This micro switch has long since discontinued by Sony, however I hope there are third-party switches of the same size and functionality that I might be able to source to play the same role. The purpose of this switch is to tell the video walkman that the user has activated the mechanical tape eject button, turning that physical action into an electronic signal that tells the tape transport mechanism to open so one can load or eject a video tape. I...

                  NEC TurboExpress On/Off Power Switch Replacement Help
                  by grimacelord
                  Hello,

                  I've been working on a NEC TurboExpress and I accidentally got the plastic inside the power ON/OFF switch too hot while doing other repairs and melted it. At first, it would still power on when sliding the switch, but you had to really press inward while sliding to get it to work.

                  I removed the switch component and tried to gently melt the plastic back so it would work more reliably and all I managed to do was make it worse.

                  I need to find a replacement On/OFF switch for this, but having some trouble figuring out which kind of switch I need....

                  Help making a switch work the opposite way with a relay
                  by SluggerB
                  I have a very small float switch, I'm using in a very small tank. It only fits in one way. Link https://www.amazon.com/uxcell-Switch.../dp/B07DZ1J2GB

                  I want the switch to be open when the water is high, and closed when the water is low. Unfortunately it works the opposite. And since this switch is designed to be underwater, it's all sealed up, there is no taking it apart or hacking it up.

                  It will be driving a water pump, basic idea, when the water is low, switch closes, which turns on water pump, when enough water is in the tank, float switch floats,...
