Hello all,
Just a short note that the debian lenny installer
(debian-testing-hppa-netinst.iso) installed without any problems on my
"new" hppa B2000 over serial console. I don't think I ever installed a
debian more easily. This B2000 will be used as my new home file and
webserver...
Keep up the good work!
Dirk

Hello,
I want to add a faster Ethernet Card to my C3700.
Which PC cards are supported?
Realtek, 3COM, all the cards that run on Intel Linux?

Well.

Yes. Most arches already needs it anyway.

Apparently hppa uses its special rtc type. I propose that you take a
look at drivers/rtc/rtc-ppc.c and write a wrapper rtc module.

If there are, this are bugs in the kernel themself. I'm no hppa
developer so I won't waste my time with such.

IMHO, there is no need for versioning. Moreover it wouldn't be sufficient.
Imagine function in a shared library foo which takes as argument
pthread_mutex_t and does usual:
pthread_mutex_lock()
do some work
pthread_mutex_unlock()

Hi all,
I would set NPTL transition as a goal for queeze.
Are we available to agree on a shared path to push new life to this port?
I mean, this issue will bite more and more frequently, it must be fixed.
I am available to follow the required steps but obviously the more eyes
the better. This is the first time I work on a big transition like this.
I think the first packages have to be cross-built, until a minimal
build system is ready to run on the new libc6.1 (chroot?). Then start
an archive rebuild. It looks easy, where is the trap? :)
cheers,
Domenico

Hi Guys,
Can anyone recommend a de-bugging tool for hppa? I am trying to work with a
software author who doesn't have a hppa box. He has asked for a valgrind
trace/output but it appears that valgrind has never been ported to hppa? I
have used gdb but it doesn't give enough detail (or so it seems). Any ideas
or recommendations will be appreciated.
Cheers, Geoff.

Hello all...
2 new questions from the proud new owner of an old PA-RISC machine :-)
Is it possible to compile 64 bit binaries on debian/hppa ? All the docs
out there seem to indicate no, but there is a 64-bit kernel available on
the architecture, so I figure there must be some way to compile 64-bit
binaries -- unless the kernels were compiled hpux?
Also, how vital do you all think the hppa port is - will it still be
supported in lenny and beyond?
Thanks a bunch!

Feel free to send me you public ssh key in a signed email. I have an HPPA box for you.
