Ooooh the famous MP30-AR0 🤑🤑🤑
What did you end up paying for that board (ex. RAM) ?I guess you now have a
motivation to get KVM or XEN into RedSleeve :) ?(I found a web page with a
guide on how to set up KVM on ARM)My motivation was not that great since i
think it makes no sense virtualize any host with only 512mb-1gb RAM...
Put me up for some of your old boards. My Koji farm can always use more
building power :)I will pay the transport myself since i live in EU (Denmark).
I can give step 1-5 a go.The bonus round with making an Anaconda install is a
wish for me too, but i think i should spend my available free time on the Koji
farm (i am getting too deep into i to make a safe escape out again :D :D)
I saw a PXE (uPXE or iPXE maybe) boot system for arm boards - dunno if it was
an uboot code, but thar was much more interresting since i usually use my
boards headless.

One of these:
http://b2b.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=5422
They aren't cheap, but it allows me to retire my entire ARM
machine estate and replace it with one machine, with capacity
to spare.
As a side effect, there will be a give-away organiezed of my
various arm machines that are thereby deprecated for my own use,
including:
Toshiba AC100 (laptop)
GuruPlug (plug computer)
VIA APC (ITX)
Compulab TrimSlice
Compulab SBC-A510 (mini-ATX)
Cornfed Servers ConServer (i.MX6, 4-core, 4GB of RAM IIRC, built in
mains PSU), mini-ATX
Arndale Octa
The deal is this:
1) I will post you one of these (if you are in Europe, otherwise
shipping costs will be prohibitive).
2) In return I would like you to:
2.1) Get as current a u-boot, or customized fork thereof (if
applicable) up and running on it (IIRC AC100 requires a customized
version called SOSBOOT)
2.2) Get an appropriate LT mainline kernel up and running on it
(some of the above are best supported by older LT branches, e.g.
AC100 seems to be best supported by 3.18.x LT branch kernels at
the moment)
3) Most importantly, get RedSleeve up and running on it (ideally
both 6 and 7)
4) Produce working RSEL image(s) for the device
5) Document the process on the RedSleeve wiki.
I can additionally offer any of the above (I have more than one
of some of them) as a bounty for anyone who can get an installer
image for RedSleeve put together, using tools like lorax (what
CentOS guys use). Anaconda has been working on ARM (including
armv5tel for some time now), so this should be possible, within
the constraints of what the boot loader can handle.
If you are interested in doing this for any of the above, please
contact me off-list. Apart from the ConServer board, you should
be able to google the detailed spec (Cornfed Servers, sadly, went
bust since I got the board). Should you wish it, an @redsleeve.org
email address is also available if you're willing to undertake
any of the above. In most cases it shouldn't take you more than
a day or two to get things researched, compiled and tested. Most
of the above devices are relatively well supported by other, .deb
based distros.
