I have no idea about Gentoo versions, but Splack 8.0 has a working 2.2 kernel with soc and socal modules. Everything you need to experiment with 2.4 is there, but the toolset and compiler are too old for 2.6The soc/pluto stuff has not been maintained since
2.2.x and AFAIK this is also true for socal.
Yup, I read that too. And immediately there after I
downloaded the last 2.2 kernel and tried to compile
it. Unfortunately for me, GCC 3.3.5 choked heavily on
it. I will try again when I figure out how to get
Gentoo to downgrade gcc. The question is, what
version should I downgrade to?
In general, you should not need to have the Sun firmware in your
drivers, just upload them to the card and array from Solaris and they
will stay there in nvram. This avoids contaminating Linux with Sun's code.
The procedure for socal is similar to my procedure for soc, take a look at the Solaris man pages for luxadm etc.
