[Brian]

I have an Origin 200 coming in for my use
configured as:

Origin 200 (rackmount)
4x10k MIPS
1GB mem
4x5GB SCSI
Craylink

Will I be able to run the MIPs linux on this?
What is the best most current and active
distribution to install?  Any vendor sponsoring
one (like redhat?).

Also, if anyone know the estimated current value
for my system, please advise.  Thanks,

Brian

MIPS linux will love that system.  I'd recommend one of the recent debian
root images mine is running one nicely, though I'm tracking a few
bugs.  Value is around 3-4k assumeing dual towers I'd guess.

Its the rackmount version..............I will search for some
benchmarks to see how this system ranks compared to some
PIII and other systems.

Are there any graphics options available for these, or just console?

I realize the origin is more of a "server", used for serving files
and web pages, than a workstation.

What's the difference anyway.  Origin 2000 with graphics option was sold
as Onyx 2; the basic architecture of both is identical.  SGI just never
built the planned graphics option for the Origin 200 which is why the
machine still comes with the keyboard and mouse connectors on the
backside which I'm not even sure of if any software is supportign them
at all.

I used to work for an SGI VAR, and we sold expensive (he, he) but SGI approved
third party PCI video cards; I don't remember what manufacturer tough. I
remember one particular customer (an NT shop) who was not comfortable with
head-less servers, and required us to put a head on it :-)

However, I think that if Linux is currently handling the PCI Bus (I think it's
a 64-bit) on that architecture, you can use any PCI video card supported by
Linux ... am I right?

Head-less users ;-)

With the firmware not supporting video that is just a halfbreed headless
system anyway ...

Yes.  In theory.  The usual problem with video card initialization through
the BIOS applies.  Aside of this PCI video cards should work fine.

I've finally got our origin to load linux kernel via bootp/tftp (Btw, it _must_
be the same server for bootp and tftp?)
I have my cross cimpiled kernel 2.4.9. Kernel options are:

However it never boots up. At random place it freezes. Sometimes without any

Origin 200

[Lukas Hejtmanek]

Is someone here who succesfully booted up an 1 processor Origin 200? I've tried
to boot some kernels -- result freeze without oops or oops result. Kernel 2.4.10
is configured with defconfig-ip27, with or without SMP support. Everything seems
to get the same result.

Is there any remote gdb howto? Especially for origin where serial port is used
as serial console. (I think gdb must connect to kernel before oops or freeze)

It seems to be at random place. I don't know what correct boot mesages look
like. Few times it freezed after amount memmory message, few times after message
about RT Link socket (or somewhat), sometimes after serial driver initialized.
Once it freezed after scsi driver loaded. I think it has nothing to do with any
driver because the same kernel freez or oops at different place.

Do you have any idea how to track it down?

No, we have that box at school. Why? IRIX is normally running there but we have

Getting it running 64bit shouldn't be *too* bad, however there are some
revs of some chips on the MB which linux currently can't deal with, and
noone is quite sure 1. what revs, 2. why, or 3. anything

Pretty much a standard Origin.  I suspect the problem might be related to
machines which only have a single physical CPU, that was the only common
thing between all the Origins on which Linux fails.  And indeed I don't
think we ever used such a small configuration for testing at SGI ...

Nick, did you observe any interesting differences to your failing Origin
configuration?

Btw, Origin UP kernel is definately broken ...

Re: Origin 200

I didn't notice any huge differences.  My ASIC HUB ran at a different
speed, 120mhz IIRC.  I will try to aquire a single proc module for my
o200.  Lukas: Can I get a copy of your boot messages under linux?

Copy of boot messages are at www.fi.muni.cz/~xhejtman/mips

I've tried compile as small kernel as possible config is also at that web page
messages also. It seems it booted ok to the last message kernel panic no root
(that's ok nfsroot was not compiled in) But I tested it only once so mayby it is
just random behaviour.

I think I've tracked down what makes freeze. If I use default config but
network card driver and scsi driver (seems to be generic PCI device) kernel
boots up to message I have no root (any time and not freezes I've changed little
bit sources to print '... waiting ...' every 2 seconds in infinite loop before
it does panic -- no root).

So I think there is some deadlock after some PCI device driver init that does
not occur in SMP mode.

That was the same "fix" I came across.  I'm still not sure why though.

However it should be found with gdb but I don't know how to setup remote
debugging, gdb always writes that it is unable to connect.
Is there any remote gdb how-to?

Origin 200

[Maitland Bottoms]

Hi,

I would like to bring up Linux on an Origin 200.

Has anyone netbooted one of these? Is there a bootable
CDROM image around?

I would prefer to netboot/nfsroot, but if I must I could
find a SCSI disk.

Thanks,
-Maitland

It can be netbooted. Simply configure a bootp (dhcp) and tftp server, then type
bootp() at the SGI maintenance prompt.

However, currently the kernel does not run on uniprocessor origins. Someone was
working on this though...
