1) Questions and Answers : Web site : Merge Not Working (Message 40477) Posted 7 May 2007 by rbaker Post: I made changes to three of my systems last week. One did not require merging, but two did. I was able to successfully merge one system, but not the other. Here are the three scenarios. Computer 177211 was upgraded from a 2.4Ghz P4 to a 3.2GHz Dual Core P4. While Windows XP and some software required reregistration, I did nothing to the BOINC client. The Rosetta site reflects the new and correct hardware/OS configuration that is now in 177211. Computer 203481 was running Windows XP Home, and I installed Windows XP Pro. The installation wiped the hard drive, and I installed the latest version of BOINC. This created computer 486792, and I was able to merge the results of 203481 into 486792. The merge results reflect the proper and current OS on this hardware. Computer 297677 is running Red Hat Linux on a dual core P4 whose hostname is redhat. Last week I ran the "update" to apply the latest patches. The Kernel version changed from 2.6.9-42.0.10.ELsmp to 2.6.9-55.ELsmp. During the update, I also had to use the Logical Volument Management tool to extend my root and /var file systems. After patching, my /usr/local file system disappeared, and that is where the BOINC client was installed. This time I installed the latest version of BOINC under the /home filesystem and it created computer 486792. When I attempt to merge computer 486792, no computers appear in the merge list. However, if I attempt to merge computer 297677, it displays the same hostname or hardware in its various incarnations, but not the current configuration for 486792. The merge list for 297677 includes a system named fedora that was running on a Pentium III. Fedora was later replaced with redhat on the same P3. Redhat was later upgraded from a P3 to a Dual Core P4, and configuration also appears in the merge list. However, I cannot merge 297677 into 486792. It appears that the selection criteria is not exact, allowing a different OS, processors and hostnames. The problem is that the merge does not consistently discriminate for all systems.

3) Message boards : Cafe Rosetta : Oh Canada? (Message 18328) Posted 10 Jun 2006 by rbaker Post: Ya, we seem to be having this epic three way battle between you, myself, and rbaker [could that be Rob Baker from The Tragically Hip:)] Nice to see all these new team members. It would seem that the AP artical is having a positive effect, even thought (I believe) the artical didn't get any national coverage here. Did anyone see it in any Canadian papers? Tyler Hi Tyler: I was considering creating a profile tonight, but the server is down. I hate to disappoint you, but I am not Rob Baker, or a musician. The only tune I can carry are the CD's in my laptop case. ;-) Randy
4) Message boards : Cafe Rosetta : Oh Canada? (Message 16266) Posted 14 May 2006 by rbaker Post: Just thought I would say "Hi" to the rest of Team Canada, and other Edmonton Oiler fans. Normally I am an Ottawa Senator's fan, but that changed last night. Now I am cheering for Edmonton. I would really like to see the Stanley Cup kept in Canada for a change. Cheers! rbaker PS: I crunch exclusively to Rosetta.
