LInuxBIOS on Compaq ds10

[Kurt B Ferreira]

All,

Quick question here.

I am going to be trying my luck at LinuxBIOS on a Compaq ds10L here and 
I was wondering if I require anything besides the code in the current 
CVS image.  On a first look it seemed that some fo the source has not 
been checked in for the alpha, but that maybe my newness with the project.

Thanks much

Kurt

ouch. linuxbios on the ds10 died and nobody's had any inclination to put
it back alive again.

I can get you my "last known good" source tree however.

Encouraging  ;).  Know why (EOL for Alpha would be my guess)?

That would be great if I could get that.

Thanks for your quick response

EOL. Compaq never really showed that much interest, then killed the Alpha,
so people lost interest. I think our next non-x86 target will be PPC.

A pity as the Alpha was a nice machine. too bad.

Interesting.  Outside of SNL, that is something I would probably be 
interested in.

Agreed
