Hallo all,

can anyone tell me if linux already supports SGI
O2.
I have 2 SGIs. It will be pity to leave them there.


Thanks.

You might try a google search for "o2 linux howto".
That shows some possibly useful information.

The arch/mips config files shows an entry for:

'Support for SGI-IP32 (O2) (EXPERIMENTAL)'

which might be useful. I have not tried any of
this, so can't help further.

Certainly can, I'm not sure how well, the information I have here seems
to suggest that you need to use a serial console (there's no framebuffer
support), but otherwise, the SGI O2 will certainly run Linux.

Some useful links:
http://www.debian.org/ports/mips/
- Debian MIPS{,-el} port

http://dev.gentoo.org/~kumba/mips/mips.html
- Gentoo for MIPS

These are mainly orientated at the Indy, especially the latter one,
however there is some information on the O2.

We have a small cluster over at my college which I had a hand in setting
up. It's a bit of a pain to do but kinda neat in a geeky way. Check out
http://www.linux-mips.org

Cheers,
Steve
