Just incase anyone has a spare SGI O2 around and wants something to do, iluxa's gotten R5000-based O2's up and running with Gentoo. R10000 and R12000-based O2's aren't quite stable just yet, but may be forthcoming in time.

Hello everyone!

I am pleased to anounce that SGI O2 have reached point where it is
usable.
As I am writing this message my little blue box is running emerge -up
world.
So far it was running it for day and a half, without problem:

o2 root # uptime
10:05:23 up 1 day, 19:37,  1 user,  load average: 1.24, 1.19, 1.11

You can find R5K kernel binary at
http://www.total-knowledge.com/progs/mips/kernels/.
This one contains NFS/NFS-root, BOOTP, DHCP, and SCSI support. It also
contains
broken FB support, but don't even try plugging your monitor in - you'll
see
a lot of stars ;-). That will be fixed ASAP, and new binary will be
posted.

For those brave ones, who would like to build own IP32 kernels:
1. Get sources from cvs.linux-mips.org (full instructions at
   http://www.linux-mips.org/kernel.html)
2. Get latest patchset from
http://www.total-knowledge.com/progs/mips/patches/
3. If needed, amend Makefile part of it to reflect your toolchain quirks
4. Build vmlinux.64

Ilya.
