When it's actually running on an Origin 200 / 2000 then it's also very reliable. Aside of that the current list of open bugs for the Origin 200 / 2000 is: - we don't have FPU emulation code - the performance of the ioc3-eth driver is weak to say the least - ioc3-eth doesn't handle autonegotiation correctly - the binary compatibility code for running 32-bit apps is less than perfect. - we crash on systems with more than 64 processors. Yes dudes, that's tested on real world hardware :-) Ralf From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 Date: Wed, 21 Feb 2001 07:46:38 +0100 From: Ralf Baechle Subject: Re: Linux on Origin 200 (newbie) Message-ID: <20010221074638.B7335@bacchus.dhis.org> References: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline In-Reply-To: ; from nick@snowman.net on Tue, Feb 20, 2001 at 08:08:03PM -0500 Sender: owner-linux-mips@oss.sgi.com Return-Path: To: nick@snowman.net Cc: cgut@calpoly.edu, linux-mips@oss.sgi.com Message-ID: <20010221064638.vYmk04aY53cBFCrPLHk0j8AQzeiEXKt9o4qCc7mhkgs@z> On Tue, Feb 20, 2001 at 08:08:03PM -0500, nick@snowman.net wrote: > Yes.
