Note, I went into the office yesterday, and tried my boot disk with Gary's changes on the older PowerStack-1 I have in the office (603, no L2 cache, 48 meg of non-pairity memory), and it wouldn't boot due to insufficient memory. As I mentioned, it does boot fine on my PowerStack-II (Utah, 604e, 128 meg of memory, 512K L2 cache). > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > Gary Thomas | > email: gdt@linuxppc.org | "Fine wine is a necessity of > ... opinions expressed here are mine | life for me" > and no one else would claim them! | > | Thomas Jefferson > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > -- Michael Meissner, Cygnus Solutions (Massachusetts office) 4th floor, 955 Massachusetts Avenue, Cambridge, MA 02139, USA meissner@cygnus.com, 617-354-5416 (office), 617-354-7161 (fax) [[ This message was sent via the linuxppc-dev mailing list.
