there's been some talk recently about patching 2.1.9x to support dual PCI
busses. Does this mean that the 2.0.x series doesn't support it? If so,
I might be in trouble... I've just ordered a dual PII-333 Dell server
which has dual PCI 2.1 busses on it. This machine is to become our core
mail, news, dns server for my network, and so I want to run a relatively
stable server (it's replacing an aging Sun Sparc 5 which hasn't crashed
for over year).
Am I going to have to risk the development series on a core server?
Or will I be lucky....!
In the worst case, could I install a 2.0.x series and run it with a single
bus (cards on the second not recognised) ??
The PCI Howto hasn't been updated for over a year and just mentions PCI 2.1
as "forthcoming" :-(
The new machine will arrive on Friday and I'm possibly going to look a
total fool if I'm not careful :-(
Thanks for any forthcoming answers! If people are interested, I can
summarise my experiences with this new toy once I have it running :-)
