It's an Octane 1; R10K 195MHz; 2GB RAM setup. At the moment I've got some issues making the disk bootable (more to follow, arcload throws weird memory problem messages and I can't find the Web CVS to give you the exact messages), and the stock Gentoo MIPS kernel seems to have some problem with the onboard network controller (doesn't send or recieve packets). I've used a random kernel off the net (from a Gentoo developer's personal web space) which has made the machine (net) boot, and allowed me to install the stage 3 tarball. emerge is working, and I've compiled a (untested) kernel. So far, a HUGE thanks to the cast of thousands who've enabled me to get this far! Thanks, Richard -- gentoo-mips@gentoo.org mailing list
