1 Just incase anyone has a spare SGI O2 around and wants something to do,
2 iluxa's gotten R5000-based O2's up and running with Gentoo. R10000 and
3 R12000-based O2's aren't quite stable just yet, but may be forthcoming
4 in time.

18 Hello everyone!

20 I am pleased to anounce that SGI O2 have reached point where it is
21 usable.
22 As I am writing this message my little blue box is running emerge -up
23 world.
24 So far it was running it for day and a half, without problem:

29 You can find R5K kernel binary at
30 http://www.total-knowledge.com/progs/mips/kernels/.
31 This one contains NFS/NFS-root, BOOTP, DHCP, and SCSI support. It also
32 contains
33 broken FB support, but don't even try plugging your monitor in - you'll
34 see
35 a lot of stars ;-). That will be fixed ASAP, and new binary will be
36 posted.

38 For those brave ones, who would like to build own IP32 kernels:
39 1. Get sources from cvs.linux-mips.org (full instructions at
40 http://www.linux-mips.org/kernel.html)
41 2. Get latest patchset from
42 http://www.total-knowledge.com/progs/mips/patches/
43 3. If needed, amend Makefile part of it to reflect your toolchain quirks
44 4. Build vmlinux.64
