Linux on SGI O2

Linux on SGI O2

[gulu gulu]

Hallo all,

   can anyone tell me if linux already supports SGI
O2.
I have 2 SGIs. It will be pity to leave them there.


    Thanks.

You might try a google search for "o2 linux howto".
That shows some possibly useful information.

The arch/mips config files shows an entry for:

   'Support for SGI-IP32 (O2) (EXPERIMENTAL)'

which might be useful.  I have not tried any of
this, so can't help further.

Certainly can, I'm not sure how well, the information I have here seems 
to suggest that you need to use a serial console (there's no framebuffer 
support), but otherwise, the SGI O2 will certainly run Linux.

Some useful links:
	http://www.debian.org/ports/mips/
		- Debian MIPS{,-el} port

	http://dev.gentoo.org/~kumba/mips/mips.html
		- Gentoo for MIPS

These are mainly orientated at the Indy, especially the latter one, 
however there is some information on the O2.

We have a small cluster over at my college which I had a hand in setting 
up. It's a bit of a pain to do but kinda neat in a geeky way. Check out 
www.linux-mips.org

Cheers,
Steve

Linux on SGI O2

[Four Hewes]

Just wanna make sure I got it right:

Judging from " Linux/MIPS HOWTO:3.2 Processor types: R4000 and R5000
family, R10000," there in not presently a version on Linux that runs on the
SGI O2, right?

Thanx,

4

As on O2 ownder, I'm anxiously awaiting it, but I've not yet seen it happen. To my knowledge, you are correct.
