I've got RtCW also on this machine. A couple glitches but generally works fine. I used the icculus version (iortcw).

No, I mean, what arguments are you passing to QEMU? Did you build QEMU yourself, or are you using a package?

For the T2, you really want both processor sockets filled, or you lose slots (because the CPUs provide the PCIe lanes; it's not something Raptor did to make you buy more than you need). A single-socket T2 would only be useful if you didn't need the expansion and I do. That's really the sales case for the T2 Lite anyway (you need more threads than a Blackbird can handle, but you don't need the expansion options of the full T2).

Anyway, it didn't start off swimmingly but for various reasons not all due to that system specifically. Fortunately things are back in order and I'll have more to say about it when I finish getting all the pieces back together.

You can use ipmitool from the Petitboot shell too.

That it could be run using KVM-PR. There's probably some instructions that need to be added, though.

For a lost BMC password, I think your only solution is to open it up and connect a terminal to the BMC's serial port.

Depending on the task you need to do, though, you may be able to do it with ipmitool when the OS is booted.

Is that an April Fools joke? It looks like a Mac Pro ripoff.

The JIT could probably be a very thin layer. I wonder if it's even KVM-mable.

Dual 8 core POWER9s (DD2.3), like I said.

It's to become my new primary system. Most of the stuff in my dual-4 will get moved to it, and then the original dual-4 will become a spare. When my POWER6 serving Floodgap finally gets too long in the tooth and the POWER10 systems are out, if the dual-8 is still working well the dual-4 will be put back into service as my new frontfacing server (if the dual-8 craps out I'll just buy a POWER10 then).

I just got shipping notification on my dual-8 second Talos II system, so they're definitely getting stuff out as parts come in.

They're saying that it's open source and someone(tm) can implement it if they want to sit down and do it.
