hi all, I would like to use Debian and Comedi on a pegasos2 together with DAQ devices for measurement and control applikations. I don't have a pegasos2 yet -- that's the reason for my somewhat off-topic questions:
* Does the pegasos2 offer unique IRQs the each PCI device at least for those in the expansion slots? After some experiences with a Comedi supported DAQ card in a IA-32-PC the unique IRQ for the DAQ card is really necessary. The IRQ sharing causes too much trouble. * Does the pegasos2 has its own partition scheme for hard disk drives? Is the machine able to work with Macintosh partition tables (of course with a linux kernel which supports those)? * Which bootloader will be needed for a pegasos2? For the installation process I want to prepare (on my debian driven NewWorld PowerMac) an disk image or some kind of backup archive with all the packages in place I need for the pegasos. And I want to create the partitions with mac-fdisk and filesystems on the disk for the pegasos while this disk is mounted in a firwire-case and connected to the PowerMac. I'm thinking of this procedure due to the fact I have to setup several more or less *identical* machines. Thank you for any hints ToPu
