I'm looking for a Linux open source hardware test suite that verifies the proper function of all subsystems of an x86 or AMD64 PC system. PC Doctor <http://www.pc-doctor.com/products/development/linux/htm> has such a test suite, but it isn't open source and costs a lot of money. I've looked briefly at the tools available at http://linux-diag.sourceforge.net/, but it doesn't seem to be fully developed. Does anyone have experience with sysfstools, sysdiag or even lsvpd that they would like to share? There are a couple of live CDs that look interesting for testing hardware stability, but don't provide nearly enough tests and don't seem to have scripts that could automate the tests for a complete unattended 12-24 hour burn-in of all PC subsystems: http://www.stresslinux.org/ http://overclockix.octeams.com/ Ideally, all ports except one Ethernet port would have loop-back devices connected, except one Ethernet port where all the software and test results would flow through/to a test server. Some single purpose hardware tests I've found include: http://users.bigpond.net.au/cpuburn/ http://www.memtest86.com/ (bootable GPL) http://www.memtest.org/ (bootable GPL; based on memtest86) /sbin/badblocks Sincerely, Ken Fuchs <kfuchs at winternet.com> _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota Help beta test TCLUG's potential new home: http://plone.mn-linux.org Got pictures for TCLUG?
