I've got a millenium 2. I beleive the latest cards don't run very well on an alpha (read the horror stories in the axp-list over at redhat). Be sure to stick the card into the primary PCI bus, otherwise even a M2 won't work. Stefan

Oeps... well, on my machine about 110 packages don't compile. I'm
working
on it to figure out for each package what the problem is...
Are you still using gcc that came with redhat? I want to upgrade it to
the
cooker one, but I'm a bit catious with it, I'm afraid that things get
broken. Any tips?

Ah f**kin HA, i've just found the solution to i hope all my troubles, it's

Re: [Cooker] (cooker) Still a few errors
Well, if I may say (I'm probably more of a bother than helping here...),
Mesa doesn't compile correctly on my alpha. I think the problem is that
the alpha kernel tree (asm dir) doesn't have mtrr.h
This is what it looks like:
gcc -mieee -Wall -Wno-uninitialized -O3 -fexpensive-optimizations
-fomit-frame-pointer -finline-functions -funroll-loops -DNDEBUG
-DMGA_LOG_ENABLED -DGLX_LOG -DHW_ACCEL -DDYNAMIC_MODULE -DXFreeXDGA

OK. If we could have an arechitecture selection in the .spec file for
compiling the
glx stuff, then I think it would work. On the alpha (and other weird
platforms) we
don't compile the non-supported stuff...
Could this be a start: ??
cd glx-%{glx_ver}
if arch alpha alphaev56
./autogen.sh --with-chipset=both --with-mesa=../ --enable-extra
--enable-agp --prefix=/usr/X11R6 --sysconfdir=/etc
--target=%{_target_cpu}-mandrake-linux-gnu
endif
if arch i386 i486 i568 i686
./autogen.sh --with-chipset=both --with-mesa=../ --enable-extra
--enable-mtrr --enable-agp --prefix=/usr/X11R6 --sysconfdir=/etc
--target=%{_target_cpu}-mandrake-linux-gnu
endif

Re: [Cooker] (cooker) Still a few errors
Right, I had the same problems (added to the new Mesa compatibility...) At the end of the install, you have to go to the F2 console and create a symbolic link to vmlinuz. It should then finish the install (with an error message for an unavailable X font). BUT... it won't boot because it doesn't find the inittab and there is no prompt and no delay. At boot time, press the right shift key, which gives you the login prompt. Then type 'linux init=/etc/inittab', and it should boot. run lilo correctly and it should go. --- kk1 >From: Sergio Korlowsky <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >To: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Subject: [Cooker] (cooker) Still a few errors >Date: Sat, 04 Dec 1999 18:51:56 -0600 > >There is no question about getting bettter and better everyday, > >but I still having a few problems at installation. > >in the last few days I have been experiencing a new error, while >installing and after selecting packages for installation, >I got this error message: > >There was an error ordering packages. >loop in prerequisite chain:basesystem setup tcsh fileutils info bash >glibc >ldconfig basesystem go on anyway > > yes no > >I choose yes, and at the end it reads it can't find kernel package > >then it fails to install the boot loader... > >Sergio Korlowsky > >OTH...
