GS60 available for porting

["Looker, Adrian" <adrianl itron com au>]

Hi All,

 

I have an Alpha GS60 that I would like to run Linux on.  Currently though I beleive the TL series Alphas are not supported.  I tested it with AC3 and when the kernel started it drew a bunch of gibberish on the screen and locked up.

Unfortunately, I am not a developer so I can't help directly, but I can do things like pre-download source code, switch CDs, etc. 

 

If there are people interested in porting Linux to this server I can leave it powered on with some form of remote access (e.g. Sun SGD) enabled to the serial console via a terminal server.

 

I can configure the server as either 6x (525MHz EV6) CPUs and 4GB RAM or 4x CPUs and 8GB RAM as needed.  It has a bunch of peripherals in it, all of which work under AC3 on my ES40 - except the KFE72 which is untested with Linux since it won't fit into the ES40.

 

Let me know if you are interested.
