News & Announcements
- Astro and Elroy docs released
- Thanks to many people at Hewlett Packard, we now have documentation
on the Astro and Elroy devices found in some of the
newer PA-RISC machines, such as the C3000 and J5000.
These documents have been converted to PostScript and
are linked from
documentation
- NFS working
- Martin Petersen posted an NFS-Root howto on the list. If you use NFS
root, then you don't need to use an initial ramdisk. This exercises
quite a lot of the kernel, including the TCP/IP layer and the ethernet
driver.
This Week's CVS Activity
- The ELF toolchain has received some updates this week.
Sammy contributed initial support for Linux/PARISC ELF32. Matthew
contributed some build fixes for HP/UX and David H-D contributed
Debian and Red Hat build support for x86.
- John continued his low-level memory-management work by enabling
the trapping of accidental user pointer dereferences.
- Grant committed a bug-fix for card-mode DINOs.
