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 |

in time. |

Hello everyone! |
19 |
|
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: |

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. |
37 |
|
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 |
45 |

Ilya. |
