Hi all, |
2 |
|
3 |
I'm new to this list. I searched the archives but couldn't find an answer, |
4 |
so I'm throwing this out to y'all. |
5 |
|
6 |
Does gentoo now, or are there plans to make this, install and run on a DEC |
7 |
AlphaServer 2100A? I've been told this is an EV5 architecture, but since |
8 |
I'm not an expert this could be wrong. |
9 |
|
10 |
I snagged two of these machines and I'd like to get a *nix distro running. |
11 |
|
12 |
If the bottleneck is lack of a machine I am quite willing to do the |
13 |
testing, but I can't get the alpha port to boot up at all, so experts |
14 |
elsewhere are needed. |
15 |
|
16 |
If this isn't a likely development, does anyone know of an alternative? I |
17 |
have yet to find one that claims this as a supported architecture. I've |
18 |
looked at FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD, RedHat, etc. |
19 |
|
20 |
I know HP offers RedHat 7.2-alpha but i'm having a problem. HP has a |
21 |
'wrapper' CD that will boot the machine, but when I stick in the RH-alpha |
22 |
install CD (also downloaded from HP) it won't recognize it. |
23 |
|
24 |
Any suggestions appreciated. |
25 |
TIA. |
26 |

Paul. |
