<p>Hi all,</p>
<p>I want to do a short status/summarize about upgrade announced
previously and servers which are offline [¹].</p>
<p>As announced here[²], gcc12, 13, 14 would have been upgraded to a
more recent Debian release.<br>
Unfortunately gcc13 and gcc14 are now off-line for an <span
id="noHighlight_0.14283914970751">indefinite </span> time,
we've asked guys from Smile's DC to help us/reinstall from
scratch.<br>
gcc13 failed to reboot after the in-place upgrade from Debian 5 to
6 (probably a grub miss-configuration or missing firmware).<br>
gcc14 hard-disk died during the in-place upgrade from Debian 5 to
6 (smartctl wasn't showing anything wrong before, but dmesg was
full of I/O error during the upgrade).<br>
</p>
<p>gcc12 is still running Debian 5 with it pretty beautiful uptime
(more than 7 years). I didn't start any upgrade because I'm not
sure to have enough free space on / to upgrade (even after
cleaning /tmp), plus the long uptime made me wonder that this
server may never survive reboots and upgrades.<br>
</p>
<p>gcc113, 115, 116 were offline few days ago, there was a
configuration issue with the disks. They are back online. Thanks
people from OSUOSL for help on getting those board back online.<br>
gcc117 is offline, we are in contact with guys from OSUOSL and
trying to reach AMD for support, for now the board doesn't boot at
all and we have no idea when we will be able to bring it online. <br>
</p>
<p>gcc21, gcc76 are still off-line, people from IUT and INSA Rouen
may give a look during the following next weeks (they were on
summer holiday). <br>
</p>
<p>gcc67 is unstable, we are aware, either there is a bug within the
processor or within the kernel (maybe both), last captured crash
was a kernel Oops. From what we found were are not the only one to
have stability issue with AMD Ryzen and Linux.<br>
</p>
<p>As far as I know gcc20, gcc119 are up, even if the web site
report them as down.</p>
<p>That's all :)<br>
