Selling my Raptor Talos II Secure Workstation (TL2WK2), shipped from Raptor February 2022. Boots and runs clean; selling because I no longer need a second big box at home.

Configuration (as ordered from Raptor, except for GPU):

Talos II mainboard in workstation chassis with PSU
2× IBM POWER9 v2 18-core CPUs (CP9M36), Raptor heatsink/fan assemblies — 36 cores / 144 threads
128 GB DDR4 ECC registered RAM (2× 64 GB)
AMD Radeon Pro WX 3200 (4 GB Polaris, works out of the box with amdgpu)
Creative X-Fi 7.1 sound card
1 TB Samsung NVMe - will wipe before shipping

Condition: Fully working.
Cosmetic: the top hinge on the front-panel door is broken, but the door still swings and locks normally. Chassis closing screws show a little wear. No other damage; never overclocked, home use, non-smoking.

Shipping: From British Columbia, Canada. Will ship to the US and EU in original packaging. I'll quote actual cost before you commit. Shipped DDU - buyer is responsible for any import duties. US import duties in particular have changed recently, so do check. Local pickup on Vancouver Island or Lower Mainland welcome and cheaper for everyone.

I'd prefer to sell it whole, but will consider selling the mainboard + both CPUs + heatsinks as a bundle (RAM and GPU separately) if that's what people want.

Message me with any questions, commands to run, and offers.

From memory, llama.cpp with Vulkan should work with Nvidia GPUs but I haven't tried that recently.

llama.cpp with Vulkan is good on my older AMD card as long as the model fits in its VRAM and I supply the correct command line arguments (the llama.cpp wiki has good examples).

Chromium is running stably on the latest dnf update on my T2/AMD box.  :D

On my T2 v/AMD graphics, I upgraded to F41 from the terminal in Gnome via the dnf plugin as described on the Fedora website.

After restarting, the screen went blank for more than five minutes, during which time the machine didn't show up on the network. From experience I knew not to restart. I played a game of chicken with myself regarding connecting to the BMC via ethernet, which I won.

Eventually the login manager appeared.

I don't know if this will help anyone else, but it was my experience.  :D

Chromium is still eventually freezing and crashing for me under both Hyprland and Gnome.

I just ran dnf update and got:

chromium-126.0.6478.182-2.fc40.ppc64le.rpm

so maybe try now?

chromium-browser from 40 prerelease is crashing for me (on Gnome under X and Wayland, and under Hyprland).

The GetVSyncParametersIfAvailable() error occurs when the window changes focus, I think.

In guest mode, just idling:

Initial research indicated this might be a Wayland issue, but it also occurs under X.

Possibly I don't have a dependency installed or at the correct version. chromium-browser was installed with dnf, though.

If the correct procedure is "wait for the actual 40 release" I'm happy to do that.  :)

GPU Compute / Accelerators / Re: Wx9100 on Talos II
« on: March 01, 2024, 04:14:31 pm »
With the 2.10 Talos firmware installed and the current amdgpu blobs in the BOOTKERNFW I now get the petitboot screen followed (after a brief drop-out) by the host os GDM login screen.

Yay!

I added the firmware and Petitboot showed on the GPU again, but then the main OS didn't.

So I removed it.

I either needed to change the fastreset setting, or 5.5 initializing the card doesn't play well with 6.6.

I'll try again at some point in the future but as I say I can use VGA or ethernet for now, I'm just happy the card works with the main OS again.

Petitboot doesn’t work with the GPU now, no. I can always use the network console if the screens don’t come up after a minute, or reconnect the VGA to watch the IPL logs.

I finally got the wx9100 working on newer kernels by flashing an empty firmware directory to BOOTKERNFW .

 ;D

I was wondering why that suddenly started working.

Great work!
