Hello Mr. Donsbach. |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
Sorry that it took so long to get back to you. All I know about the machine |
| 4 |
without digging up some RAM and turning it on is that it is one of the few |
| 5 |
systems that cannot use the SRM firmware, thus I must use MILO to load a |
| 6 |
kernel. If you have a floppy boot image that will work with a 2.6 kernel, |
| 7 |
please post send it to my E-Mail Address or post a link and I'll download |
| 8 |
it. |

Many Thanks. |

Which machine do you have? I have an XLT (Milo only machine) and it works |
| 23 |
fine with 2.6 kernels. Admittedly, I haven't upgraded in a while. I think I |
| 24 |
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 |
| 34 |
work with 2.6 series kernals. The only reason that I am not currently using |
| 35 |
Gentoo on my Alpha is that I cannot get a working MILO for current |
| 36 |
generation kernals. Unfortunately, I do not have the programming skills to |
| 37 |
do this myself. If you or anyone else knows where I can get a MILO boot |
| 38 |
floppy for a 2.6 kernal, as recent a version as possible please, would you |
| 39 |
please reply to the list if appropriate or directly to me at |
| 40 |
'right_maple_nut@××××××××.uk'. |

Thank you in advance to all who reply. I would really like to get my Alpha |
| 43 |
up and running. |

Hi all. |
| 56 |
|
| 57 |
2.4 kernels is generally the biggest problem when building new releases |
| 58 |
and most, if not all should be able to use 2.6 kernels by now. |
| 59 |
Considering that I'm currently only planning to provide 2.6 support for |
| 60 |
the 2007.0 release and forward. |
| 61 |
|
| 62 |
Please contact me if 2.6 kernels doesn't work on your alpha so we can |
| 63 |
try to work out any problems in time for next release. |
| 64 |
|
| 65 |
Regards, |
