It is NOT correct. I have success ! But ONLY as DISKLESS server. Botting via network and using the PDC console works really well. The machine is quite fast and in this setup stable. I run the full SID debian on this machine, it can execute near all executables, even X applications run (remote of course !). Only three devices are not supported: - MUX 8-way serial (except the PDC console using this polling PDC driver) - Parallel interface - SCSI disks (which makes this machine to a diskless server !?!) With getting more documentations and experiences, I will further work on this (in background load, I am only hacking in my private spare time ...). First I will start on SCSI, Ryan works on the MUX of a K-serie server, and I will try to port this driver. Every help is welcome. I think we are a "bigger" group now, wishing E-class support for Linux !!
