Great work, Bjoern!! I now have gentoo linux booting on a DS-10 |
| 5 |
alpha-ev67 here at work. I had to use a debian tftp boot image to get |
| 6 |
going, but compiling a new kernel and loading it on the disk with |
| 7 |
aboot/swriteboot worked great. I'm hoping to work on a gentoo tftp boot |
| 8 |
image soon, but we'll see. ;-) |

I have had a couple of issues that I've fixed, but haven't had a chance |
| 11 |
to check back into CVS yet: |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
I had to upgrade to fileutils-4.1.11 because I was having trouble |
| 14 |
downloading the current gentoo version from ibiblio, and the upstream |
| 15 |
site didn't have the older version anymore. This may have just been a |
| 16 |
firewall issue on my part. |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
I also had to adjust the procps ebuild, because the install failed |
| 19 |
trying to remove non-existant man files. |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
My currently outstanding issue is regarding XFree86. I tried using |
| 23 |
xfree-4.2.1.ebuild, even though it's masked, because it's the only xfree |
| 24 |
ebuild flagged for alpha, and I figured that must be the one you're |
| 25 |
using. However, when trying to start up xf86cfg, I get tons of these |
| 26 |
errors as it tries to load each of the video card driver modules: |
| 27 |

I just noticed this morning that it wasn't working, so I haven't started |
| 32 |
trying to track down the problem -- just thought I'd mention it. |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
Anyway, great work, keep it up! |
