Disabling Asus’ auto-tuning feature in the BIOS and setting the Vcore to 1.38V resolved my temperature problems…
Meep meep, replacement mainboard ordered. Maybe I’ll fix my machine this weekend – that’d be rad 
If you’ve been following my twitter feed you probably know that I’m not in a good mood when it comes to OpenSolaris:
Not only does 2009.06 ship with a notoriously broken CIFS server, effectively rendering zfs set sharesmb=on useless for me, it also doesn’t play nice when upgrading to snv_118 from the dev repositories. On 118 I’m getting hit by some strange xc_free_msg stuff that has apparently been fixed in 119 (which I can’t use because the SXCE build for 119 has severe problems, apparently).
Now, VirtualBox on the other hand is only a minor pain in the buttocks. For the entire 3.x series VirtualBox constantly locks up OpenSolaris (preferrably in the middle of the night so I can get to work first thing in the morning). The fix is available (again), you only have to build VirtualBox from source. Since this is not an option for me, I simply went back to the last version of the old 2.x series. Yes, this does fix the problem but it leaves me somewhat unsatisfied.
Makes me hope that Sun fixes a load of things in it’s products till the 2010.02 release, so it’ll be a pleasant upgrade .
Summer vacation is over… trains will be crowded again starting tomorrow 
I’m sick of Sun’s update policy for OpenSolaris. Yeah, let’s just wait 6 months till the next fucking update to get CIFS right. Tzz.
Three words to describe my situation: I am unhappy. The diagnostics equipment ships late so I can’t do jack; server starts acting up…
Zones are crashing my Solaris? It’s more likely than you think… obviously something doesn’t play nice with b118.
Watched Code Rush today, an awesome documentation about the Mozilla project and how it came to be. Highly recommended and free to watch!
