silo-0.8.3-1.sparc.rpm, modutils-2.1.121-1.sparc.rpm

[Jakub Jelinek]

Hi!

In ftp://ultra.penguin.cz/pub/ultrapenguin-1.1/updates/
you'll find these updates:

silo 0.8.3: I hope this fixes the initrd overwritten problems several people
	    had. If you managed to install the system, can you please try
	    upgrading to this silo, rerun /sbin/silo and try to boot a
	    kernel with an initial ramdisk?
modutils:   updated to 2.1.121+patches, so that loading chained modules
	    works fine (that was the case with fc4+soc & pluto and some
	    parport modules on sparc64)

There are no kernel images nor installer updates yet: a lot of things has
been fixed for eXX00, but they need to be tested and Eric Bautsch reports
some problems as well, so I'd like that sorted out before.

I think I'll probably keep the up-1.1 tree as is and hardlink everything
into up-1.1.1 and put the modification there, as it will require quite a few
changes to the up-1.1 tree, so that one can burn CDs with fixed bugs that
were reported.

Cheers,
    Jakub

It has been done about a year ago.
fc4 layer only supports SCSI over FC4, soc only supports SOC (and not SOC+
yet, although I started, but have no possibility to test it), pluto is the
driver for SSA. FC-AL is not yet supported, although I'd like to support it
as soon as possible (but I lack FC-AL and SOC+ hw at the moment).

Re: silo-0.8.3-1.sparc.rpm, modutils-2.1.121-1.sparc.rpm

[Janne Johansson]

I just figured, since ftp.sunet.se also mirrors this stuff,
and we are interconnected by some 100mbit, there is (almost) no
reason for me to have it also, and sunet are (seemingly) more
alert and updates their mirror faster than me, so I'd like to
de-announce my mirror at ftp.it.kth.se

People will get better cps and faster updates from the sunet
server, unless they work at my job. =)

Sorry folks.

Then I'm a complete idiot for not paying attention. I'm *soooo*
embarrassed.

And audio, if you built it that way.
