Alright I stripped my processor type, sorry. |
2 |
|
3 |
The -fPIC -DPIC definitely made a difference. I've been running Gentoo |
4 |
since January on this particular alpha but have yet (Xfree or Xorg) to |
5 |
get X to run locally. Always server core exit on run. |
6 |
I was also getting lots of: |
7 |
|
8 |
Elf_RelocateEntry() Unsupported relocation type 10 |
9 |
|
10 |
Which googling pointed to PIC problems with the compilation. |
11 |
|
12 |
Xorg -configure always worked okay. Last problem I was having was xfs |
13 |
giving a floating point exception on startup. |
14 |
|
15 |
I modded my local ebuild file to allow -fPIC -DPIC from my CFLAGS to get |
16 |
passed through. |
17 |
|
18 |
My current mostly innocuous CFLAGS are: |
19 |
|
20 |
CFLAGS="-mcpu=ev56 -O3 -pipe -fPIC -DPIC" |
21 |
|
22 |
The build took 12 hours and I am still getting the ELF errors but it |
23 |
looks as the X continues to run and doesn't server exit. (I'm not |
24 |
actually at the console at the moment to see the X though). |
25 |

26 |
BTW, this alpha server 800 with an add-on ATI RagePro3D+TV (Mach 64 |
27 |
derivative) |
28 |
|
29 |
I disabled the onboard S3 VGA as it wasn't supported except as a VGA. |
