Amos, |

Unfortunately, it is not that simple. MILO is model specific, so unless you know what machine type you have, I might be sending you the wrong file. If you can't power it on, can you snap a picture of it? That will likely help identify it. |

Hello Mr. Donsbach. |
15 |
|
16 |
Sorry that it took so long to get back to you. All I know about the machine |
17 |
without digging up some RAM and turning it on is that it is one of the few |
18 |
systems that cannot use the SRM firmware, thus I must use MILO to load a |
19 |
kernel. If you have a floppy boot image that will work with a 2.6 kernel, |
20 |
please post send it to my E-Mail Address or post a link and I'll download |
21 |
it. |
22 |
|

My E-Mail address is : right_maple_nut@××××××××.uk |

Many Thanks. |

Which machine do you have? I have an XLT (Milo only machine) and it works |
36 |
fine with 2.6 kernels. Admittedly, I haven't upgraded in a while. I think I |
37 |
am running something like 2.6.14 or so. |

If you want to ditch 2.4 kernal support someone will need to modify MILO to |
47 |
work with 2.6 series kernals. The only reason that I am not currently using |
48 |
Gentoo on my Alpha is that I cannot get a working MILO for current |
49 |
generation kernals. Unfortunately, I do not have the programming skills to |
50 |
do this myself. If you or anyone else knows where I can get a MILO boot |
51 |
floppy for a 2.6 kernal, as recent a version as possible please, would you |
52 |
please reply to the list if appropriate or directly to me at |
53 |
'right_maple_nut@××××××××.uk'. |
54 |
|
55 |
Thank you in advance to all who reply. I would really like to get my Alpha |
56 |
up and running. |

Hi all. |
69 |
|
70 |
2.4 kernels is generally the biggest problem when building new releases |
71 |
and most, if not all should be able to use 2.6 kernels by now. |
72 |
Considering that I'm currently only planning to provide 2.6 support for |
73 |
the 2007.0 release and forward. |
74 |
|
75 |
Please contact me if 2.6 kernels doesn't work on your alpha so we can |
76 |
try to work out any problems in time for next release. |
77 |
|
78 |
Regards, |
79 |
