Message-ID: <20110817203508.GC4105@alumni-linux.ccs.neu.edu> Precedence: bulk List-Post: List-Help: List-Unsubscribe: List-Subscribe: List-Id: Gentoo Linux mail X-BeenThere: gentoo-mips@lists.gentoo.org Reply-to: gentoo-mips@lists.gentoo.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8 Content-Disposition: inline X-Archives-Salt: X-Archives-Hash: db96bd16a98b3f60b8eedb3671d4e174 I'm trying to get gentoo going on an SGI O2. I've booted into the Gentoo/MIPS livecd and installed Matt Turner's stage3-mips4_multilib stage onto my hard disk. I can chroot into it and run some commands, but "ls" gives an "unknown error," and emerge doesn't work, presumably because the kernel on the livecd is too old. I setup as much as I could from the livecd, hoping to install Debian's IP32 kernel from the livecd, since arcload is available there. However, Debian's IP32 kernels are 64-bit ELF. When I try to boot it with sashARC, it tells me that it is not 32-bit and refuses to load it. When I try to boot it with sash64, it tells me "relocation failed." Does anybody have a kernel and modules for an SGI O2 that works with Matt's stages? If so, would you be able to put it where I can download it? :) On a related note, how does Debian get arcload to boot its 64-bit kernel on an IP32 machine?
