Re: sparc 5 printing

2002-08-27 Thread Simon Ross
That would explain the errors I am getting. So do you know what I should
do to use the printer on this port??

Regards
Simon

 When compiling the kernel on the sun box its possible to use pc style
 parports. And then if I remember correctly you can use the same modules:
 parport and parport_pc and then print using lp.
 
 No, old SPARC's do not have this PC-style hardware.

Re: Sparc linux kernel 2.5

 I am looking for a 2.5 kernel for a sparc4c. I tried 2 linus
 trees (18 and 31) but they didn't compile at all. I checked
 the kernel source finder and vger.rutgers.edu and vger.samba.org
 without success. Any ideas how I can get a working 2.5 kernel tree
 are welcome.

At the moment, you can't.  The closest thing there is to it is a
bitkeeper tree at http://linux-wli.bkbits.net:8080/linux-2.5-sparc32
that Pete Zaitcev has been putting a ton of work into.

The latest known working kernel for sun4c is 2.4.19 (and probably the
2.4.20-pre ones).

What about the 2.5.x kernels for sun4m? Anyone got some working?

Cheers,

 You are mistaken.  Do yourself a favour and get a book about (pseudo)
 random number generators, entropy, hash functions and cryptography.
 If you don't start with random numbers, you can turn the numbers upside
 down, it won't get any more random than what you started with.

There's also a nice comment at the top of drivers/char/random.c that
(I assume) Ted Ts'o wrote.  It's a nice, succinct explanation of many
things regarding linux randomness and randomness in general.

sun4m and sun4c are both sparc32, and sparc32 as a whole is not working in
2.5.  And actually, unless I've missed something, the latest known working
kernel for sun4c is 2.4.19, and the latest known working for sun4m is
2.4.20-pre1.
