X-Mailer: VM 6.64 under Emacs 20.2.1 Sender: owner-linux@cthulhu.engr.sgi.com Precedence: bulk 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! -- Han-Wen Nienhuys, hanwen@cs.uu.nl ** GNU LilyPond - The Music Typesetter http://www.cs.uu.nl/people/hanwen/lilypond/index.html
