Challenge-S is an Indy (small blue box) with the media stuff removed, with basically the same motherboard. I don't know for sure whether it has the extra SCSI channel like the I2. The I2 is a different motherboard in a larger (than Indy) box. Core chipsets are the same. What we need to do is make it easy for Linux to determine what chipsets are attached to the cpu. Bill Earl might have some straightforward answers. I'm in favor of simply publishing the relevant sections of Irix bootstrap code. Perhaps Santa Claus can make a code drop this year. g -- Greg Chesson
