Blackbird / Re: Price of Blackbird went up $1,144 from April 2020

« on: April 12, 2021, 10:35:38 am »

This has to do with a number of things. But it should be noted that the fees that were listed separately in the past are now included in the price.

Applications and Porting / Re: [NEWS] Fedora 34 Beta is out

If you want to change the default boot order, you could use grubby.

Like:

Code: [Select]

grubby --set-default /boot/vmlinuz-5.x.x.fc33.ppc64le

Operating Systems and Porting / Re: Fedora 35 (was F-34): going to 4k page size? Help needed

« on: April 03, 2021, 08:30:23 am »

This is my dmesg output. I can boot with this Kernel, but still get error messages. It seems my Navi card differs from others. Best Kernel with no issues is still 5.4.xx.

I've read somewhere that DG2 is Intel only or something like that. But can't find anymore.

Has anybody else noticed this trend or been able to get the GPU standalone for a POWER9 system?

The availability in Germany is limited and of course overpriced.

Did you set the date to a correct value? Otherwise Ethernet will not work.

Both CPUs are 4-core.
At the end it's all about optimisations.

The graph is wrong
But the Phoronix test suite can't do anything about that. You have to divide the lower result by 4 (228)

These results you could compare:

Only difference: Kernel pagesize and installed RAM and of course the harddisk.

User Zone / BMC MAC address changes every time after poweron

Hello,

I thought the MAC address is unique? But it changes every time after poweron.
How can this be prevented?

Operating Systems and Porting / Re: Linux kernel packages 5.9.6 for Debian buster with 4k page size available

« on: January 11, 2021, 05:43:52 pm »

You can't compare Debian and Fedora. Fedora is close to upstream (which means up to date packages) and Debian is focused on stability (which means they don't use the latest packages).

Applications and Porting / Re: Wayland support/port for PPC64el

« on: January 04, 2021, 07:17:55 am »

This is no surprise, since all distributions use, more or less, the same kernel.
And Kernel 5.4 needs the Navi patches.

As MauryG5 wrote, if I login KDE Wayland I get a black screen and have to restart the machine the hard way (push button).

It seems Wayland is not supported with Fedora 33 / Kernel kernel-5.9.16-200.fc33. I do not have a graphical card (use the standard HDMI that comes out of the OpenBMC), so no driver issue I suppose.

Running Wayland on the Blackbird was yet again an unmitigated disaster and I have not seen any information to suggest this has changed for simple framebuffers in general (so if you're a straight BMC-only system as mine is, fuggedaboutit). On the T2, Wayland is still not as snappy as Xorg, but performance was not massively different and window theming and decorations seem more consistent.
