Hi All, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
We now have Gentoo successfully running on the Itanium 2. Today, with |
| 4 |
the help of Namesys (the ReiserFS guys,) our development Itanium 2 |
| 5 |
system is now running ReiserFS (*much faster* than the Debian/ext3 it |
| 6 |
was shipped with.) |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
Completed: |
| 9 |
Stage 1/2/3 |
| 10 |
Integration into Stager (automated building of stages) |
| 11 |
It works, it runs fast. |
| 12 |
ReiserFS now quirk-free and working very nicely (yay!) |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
To-do: |
| 15 |
Whip up an elilo ebuild (boot loader) |
| 16 |
Create a bootable IA64 install CD |
| 17 |
Get xfree, DRI and IA64 NVIDIA drivers tested |
| 18 |
Unmask packages as they are compiled and tested (compiling has |
| 19 |
been easy, not expecting much work here.) |
| 20 |
Do some more kernel testing. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
Soon: |
| 23 |
Now that ReiserFS is working and everything is running well, I |
| 24 |
can start allowing developer access to the box. Note that the |
| 25 |
focus of work will remain initially on the "To-do" items listed above. |
| 26 |
We need to get the fundamentals working first. |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
Sincerely, |
| 29 |
