Some AzusA kernel notes:
- You must have SAL v1.23. Though I've a patch for 2.4.10's setup.c that
lets earlier SAL versions work.
- The kernel page size needs to be 16KB.
- The interrupt tables can overwhelm the kernel, but this only happens
in 2.4.[7-9]. Earlier and later versions are fine. I've patches
for the affected versions nonetheless.
- You'll get TickOOPS messages during bootup, but they're harmless.
- NEC hardware engineering says to disable USB in the kernel.
Oh, and we've a 16-way AzusA here at the OSDL available for scalability-
related projects. It's currently running Linux 2.4.16-ia64 with Red Hat
7.1. IIRC we've also got SuSE and TurboLinux on it, but Mandrake and
Debian's installers gave me fits. (boo!)
