#SYSTEMRESCUECD XFSPROGS UPGRADE#

I used the upgrade procedure to go from 7.10 to 8.04. Because the Magnia is damn hard to fix when you break it, I tend towards stability so I am currently installing Debian for the Chintimini Wireless Project. I have tried 3 or 4 other distros and have decided that Debian and Ubuntu are best.ĭebian is the most stable and Ubuntu is very good but tends to make changes a little too fast for a server system. Redhat 7 is very old though, and there are much more interesting things you can do if you upgrade to a current distribution.

Or you don't use it exposed directly to the Internet, you are probablyįine leaving the stock 7.2 Redhat install on it. There are a few bugs that allow hackers to take over the The SG20 came with a customized version of RedHat 7.2 Linux.

I think that it will not work at all, because during Maybe you can use a serial PCMCIA card instead of doing the changes to

Now my 21 month old daughter absorbs all the available time. -) Took photos but did not find the time to document it on my homepage. It was three years ago when I added the serial interface to my SG20. As always, you do it at your own risk and you should know what you do. My description is not very detailed but I hope it gives you enough information to get it done. Placed at the back of the case between the parallel port and theĪround U14 you find the same for /dev/ttyS0, but you can't use thatīecause /dev/ttyS0 is already used for driving the LCD or reading the I used a ribbon cable from JS2 to a 9 pin male D-SUB connector which I U15 is a Maxim MAX3243_T but I used a MAX3243E There are some SMD parts missing on the motherboard. Then I put a 80 mm fan on top of the power supply and run it at a low speed. The stock power supply fan was too noisy, so I hacked out the case a bit for more air flow. I can PXEboot from a Linux desktop system into a rescue mode. While I was in there I set it to boot from the network. It's not ECC, so I had to hookup an AGP video card and keyboard and turn off ECC in BIOS. I pulled a 512MB PC133 DIMM out of a computer that I got dumpster diving, it works fine. These are both 4200 rpm drives I'd like to replace one or both with 7200 rpm drives but probably won't for a while. The 80 GB drive is a MHV2080AT that came in my Sharp PC-M4000 laptop. I replaced the second hard drive with an 80 GB leftover from a laptop upgrade. Here is a copy of the File:SG20customization.pdf Hardware When I started writing this page, I did most of the upgrades described here. I used it with the stock Redhat 7.2 for about a year, then shut it down for a while.

Lack of USB ports is remedied on the newer SG30. I know I could hack the daughter board to add a serial port so that I could use it as a serial console but am not willing to invest the time in populating the board to install one.

Compare with a Via C3 which is not quite a 686 so it crashes if you try to run 686 code on it.

Has extra goodies hidden away inside like the video slot.

Uses generic PC components for drives and memory.

Has a generic Intel CPU that is fast enough for a SOHO server.*.

It can be upgraded and hacked in many ways. I have since transitioned to a more powerful and lower power Mini-Itx system, Bellman. Using Otter as my SOHO server is part of my Carbon diet.

You should have to check the LED on the front panel to see if it's on. I feel the computers I use should use no more energy than required to get the job done, and they should be as quiet as possible. These boxes include a gateway router, a VOIP telephone adapter, an ethernet switch, and a WiFi access point. Set up as a general purpose home server, replacing as many small dedicated boxes as possible.
