New Indy kernel uploaded
Thomas Bogendoerfer
maintainerAfter killing a lot of SCSI bugs during the last weeks, I've made a new kernel with all of the fixes in it. It also contains a workaround for the problem with hanging after "Freeing unused kernel memory".
Everyone, who had problems with older kernels, please test this kernel.

This device has completely bogus header. Compaq scores again :-|
It's a host bridge, but it should be called ghost bridge instead ;^)

Yep, done. Works without problems - Linux is up and running. How do you solve the problems with the ECOFF/ELF thing ? Is there some kind of backwards-compatibility ?
Thanx a lot :-)))
If you need testing support for some more kernels simply drop a note.

yes, every newer PROM is also able to boot ECOFF kernels. So I just uploaded an ECOFF kernel, which should work with every PROM.

[Martin `MJ' Mares on linux-kernel]This is working for me, too - to a point. I get stuck just past the package selection and the message that a log will be created. It looks as if it is hanging trying to mount the linux partition. So, stupid question. The install instructions say to begin by running fx and setting up a root partition on the second disk from within IRIX. So, am I supposed to format ext2 from within the Hardhat setup program? Or, rather, at what point is the partition formatted suitably for the Hardhat install to begin unpacking files on it? TIA

Hardhat itself should format the partition for you; the ext2 on irix is slightly broekn.
