Hi all, I'm trying to install Gentoo on a DS25 machine and it seems |
2 |
to be really hard... Anyway, I've just a couple of question: |
3 |
1- I'm reading the DS25 owner manual where is written about the |
4 |
os_type to be set. This is the first time I have an alpha to manage, |
5 |
so I wonder how much is important writing |
6 |
|
7 |
>>> set os_type Linux |
8 |
>>> init |
9 |
|
10 |
as written in the manual. I mean, what does that env variable |
11 |
*changes*. I ask this beacuse it seems that google is full of |
12 |
|
13 |
>>> set os_type Unix |
14 |
|
15 |
and Linux isn't mentioned. |
16 |
|
17 |
2- I remember of a CONFIG_ALPHA_LEGACY_START_ADDRESS variable into |
18 |
the kernel config file, I remeber I read something about its setting |
19 |
to be able to boot a linux kernel on a DS25. Unfortunately I cannot |
20 |
find that information anymore. Can anybody help me? Should |
21 |
CONFIG_ALPHA_LEGACY_START_ADDRESS be set to y or n? And why? |
22 |
|
23 |
Thanks in advance |
