2.0.34 "candidate" for SS5/170 (turbosparc)
Hi,
I did some work on TurboSparc support for 2.0 kernels yesterday; Stephen Zander
helped a bunch by doing some testing (and I hope he'll help me some more, but
we got something useful, read on...)
At ftp://jooky.dementia.org/pub/linux-turbo you can find an image of a kernel,
an a.out image of same, and a version of the redhat 4.2 installer with said
kernel (but with a bug as mentioned in the README in that directory) which
successfully booted Stephen's machine (I didn't ask him if he tried anything
else), and which I was able to use to install a SS5/170 belonging to a fellow
Computing Services staff member here at CMU which I must boot back into Solaris
in a few minutes:-(
Give it a try; I suspect it's still going to randomly segfault like the 2.1
kernel does, but this should at least get the 2.0 kernel where the 2.1 is.
If you're willing to try some other candidates I have, let me know and I'll
explain further.
-D
