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. |

Paul. |
