effort. It will be updated periodically and will give you a
snapshot of the current state of Linux on the PA-RISC. For more information

News & Announcements
- NFS Root Updated
- Grant updated Martin's NFS root-howto with instructions for setting up
an HP/UX machine as your NFS server.
- ELF32 work started
- We're currently playing with ELF32 stuff, trying to get a toolchain
available to everyone. Once we're happy that the toolchain is working
well enough, we'll start moving the kernel over to ELF.
- Upcoming non-merge with Linus
- We were planning to merge Linus 2.3.48 into our CVS tree later this
week, however we've decided to delay until the following week to give
our tree a chance to settle down with the ELF transition and Linus a
chance to splat some more platform-independent bugs.
- FAQ
- I've started to maintain a FAQ, referenced from the main webpage. It
is a little rough for the moment; contributions eagerly anticipated.
Status Page
- I'd just like to take this opportunity to remind everyone that we have a
status page with some unclaimed projects at status
This Week's CVS Activity
- More toolchain updates; Matthew checked in a patch to allow libgcc1
to build and added the .global directive to gas.
- We decided to switch to a 16k per-process kernel stack size to
ensure that we don't have any bugs caused by accidentally overrunning
the kernel stack. John implemented this.
- HP/UX compatibility gained a few new syscalls. I guess John was
bored :-)
- Grant made the Intel EtherExpress Pro card work.
