Hi there,
My name is Anne Hau, currently working on getting Linux to run on MIPS rPC44
Deskstation.
I do not have problem installing Linux on PC. Many Linux distributions
available make installing Linux on PC achievable. With MIPS-linux,
unfortunately, information is not widely available.
I was able to compile mips-linux 1.3.62 kernel and MILO. I compiled using
mips-gcc on the PC host, then copied these images to floppies.
Now the next step is to get Linux kernel installed.
Upon reset rPC44, I got into ARCBIOS set up screen. From this screen,
it gives the option of running a program which I put:a:\milo.
It then complained :
ERROR
Load: Bad magic value in optional header: 00000107 != 00000000
Am I doing the right thing ? Did I miss any thing here ?
This machine has not been powered up for two years. It currenly running
windowNT 3.1.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Best regards,
Anne
