Hi guys,
just a little success / quirk report. I got my hands on a 24 bit
R4600 Indy when my university ditched them all (they switched to Sun
machines), and I now use it as as very luxurious X-terminal to my
lowly linux PC. After some tweaking I managed to boot Linux on the
machine as well, and installed it on the 2nd HD.
I have some remarks/bugreports:
* the size of /proc/kcore was ludicrous for a 32 MB machine,
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 May 6 23:24 ioports
-r-------- 1 root root 167354368 May 6 23:24 kcore
-r-------- 1 root root 0 May 6 23:22 kmsg
* I couldn't get g++ working. The linker gave up after saying:
/usr/lib/libstdc++.so: undefined reference to `__unwind_function'
/usr/lib/libstdc++.so: undefined reference to
`__find_first_exception_table_match'
/usr/lib/libstdc++.so: undefined reference to
`__register_exceptions'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
This was with Hard hat (snatched from a RH mirror), and
vmlinux-indy-2.2.1-990329 kernel. I can send you a bootlog as well.
Finally, what is the status of Linux/Indy Xserver? (I know I should
contribute instead of asking, but hey, I'm spending lots of time on
free s/w already.)
In any case, keep up the good work. Blue computers are so cool!
