	Hello;

	I know this is not the list to ask this question, but I am having
horrible problems with my indigo2.

	I removed the harddrive inside it, and installed linux on a pc,
since I needed a pc with linux at the time. Then I put it back to my sgi,
and I can not put IRIX back to it.

	When I click install system software (or recover system) it looks
for the cdrom, finds it, and I get the following message in a window:

bootfile is not set using default
dks0d1s8: volume header not valid
swap partition (0) is not a valid swap area
Press <enter> to return to the menu

	If I click diagnostics, it says it is booting IDE, and gives out a
hinv information, and then a little \ is rotating forever. (it does not do
anything)

	When I turn on the machine it gives the following errs:

Cannot load sash
no default device and path in environment
unable to load bootfile: invalid argument
unable to boot press any key to continue


	Does anyone has any ideas/recomendations/help to fix this problem.
I've talked to amny ppl, including the ppl I bought my mahine from, but no
one seems to know OS specific issues like this.

	Thank you very much;
	-C.Altineller

Probably.  Even though I had installed the necessary binaries in the
chroot environment.

It is supposed to.

thought it might be a good idea to put this information in one location.
The list of places I looked at are listed in the end in case somebody is
interested.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

a. Install sgibuild: Refer to the following for how to install it and where
	to get it from.

	sgibuild from Baron Roberts:

        Linux sgibuild Home Page:
            http://peanut/cgi-bin/wrap/baron/sgibuild

        sgibuild documentation:
            http://peanut/~baron/sgibuild/doc/sgibuild.html

        The email list linux-sgibuild, archived by thread:
            http://postofc.corp/mailman_archives/linux-sgibuild

        A Multi-Platform Build Architecture:
            http://peanut.engr/build/MultiBuild.html
                                                                                      
b. Install ptools for Linux:

	 To have ptools on Linux, do this
as root (copied from the bonnie:/usr/local/bin/ptools/p_wrapper script):

# How to "install" ptools p_* client commands on your Linux system:
#
#  1) The environment variable $WORKAREA must be set, and
#     point to a valid workarea, with a .workarea file that
#     at least sets the following resources.
#
#     Required Linux .workarea entries:
#
#           workarea.sm_machine : ...   # Irix server host (e.g. bonnie)
#           workarea.sm_location : ...  # Path to top of source tree
#           source_machine.user : ...   # Your Irix server login id
#           source_machine.group : ...  # Your Irix server login group
#           source_machine.local_rcs_directory : /usr/bin

For example, my .workarea file looks like the following:

# .workarea for MediaBase 4.2 Build

workarea.sm_machine :  bonnie.engr.sgi.com
workarea.sm_location : /isms/mediabase/4.2
source_machine.user :  singal
source_machine.group :  engr
source_machine.local_rcs_directory : /usr/bin                                     

#
#     In particular "source_machine.user"  and "source_machine.group"
#     must be specified in the .workarea file.  This is required even
#     if your Linux login id is the same as your Irix id.
#
#     [Well, actually, user can be specified in other ways.  See
#      the real story below, in the help message beginning with:
#           'ptools - Unable to identify user id. ...']
#
#  2) Copy this p_wrapper script to your Linux system, wherever it
#     is convenient to invoke, onetime.  It must be named p_wrapper.
#
#  3) Invoke "p_wrapper -u" as root on your Linux system to
#     install the Linux ptools p_* client commands.
#
#  4) The p_wrapper invocation will perform the following steps:
#
#       - It copies the Irix p_wrapper to your Linux /usr/local/bin.
#       - It unpacks the Irix linux_man.cpio-c.gz man pages to
#         /usr/local/man/man1 on your Linux system.
#       - It creates ~19 hard links in /usr/local/bin on your Linux
#         system, one link for each p_* ptools binary executable
#         client command in /usr/local/bin/ptools on your Irix system,
#         each link a hard link to the copy of p_wrapper in that directory.
#       - It copies about 13 p_* shell scripts from /usr/local/bin/ptools
#         on your Irix system, to /usr/local/bin on your Linux system.
#
#  5) You are now ready to use ptools from your Linux system,
#       subject to the following Requirements and Limitations:
#
#       Linux environment must set WORKAREA to a valid workarea,
#               with a .workarea file containing at least the five
#               resource settings listed above.
#       Your Irix server must have a sufficiently recent version of
#               ptools installed (post April 1999, approximately).
#       Your Irix server must have a "ptclient" login id, that
#               allows password free rcp/rsh from your Linux system.
#       You must be using the (default) rpc transport.  The older
#               ptools transports such as network or nfs_ro don't
#               work -- they will fail with various errors.
#       The p_setup command isn't supported on Linux -- and might
#               never be supported there -- too messy to port.

c. p_tupdate your workarea.

d. You need to set the following environment variables:

WORKAREA - the location of your current workarea
BUILD_ROOT - create a "build" directory under work/linux and
             set BUILD_ROOT to point to this.
DIST_ROOT - create a "dist" directory under work/linux and
            set DIST_ROOT to point to this.

e. To build for linux, you need to follow the following sequence:

	1) do a make in linux/ocs_make_root
	2) do make headers and make exports in linux/informix
	3) do make headers, make exports and make in linux/ocs

Hi folks

Sorry for the basic nature of
my question, please bear with
me.

I would like to boot my Indigo 2
from a standalone linux rescuedisk 
which can read & write to the EFS 
file system, in a similar manner to
an Irix miniroot.

How can I do this?

I'll be building the disk as a CD
using my PC.

I'll download and install any version of
Linux you suggest for the job.  I'll even 
give it it's own hard drive :-)

Thanks.

2.3.10 is working on the Indy.  I suppose the problem you're observing has
hit me on the Indy when I upgraded it to 2.3.11.  I've traced it to some
inconsistence between the page tables in memory and the TLB which
results in recursive page faults which lockup the process in do_pagefault()
in fault.c.  Really hard to trace and hits both MIPS32 and MIPS64 ...

If its not - where can I get info about porting Linux to an O2 ?

Is there a status of (a) port ? The last thing that I have heard is that the
O200 runs it (but only w/ a modified prom).

That's complete bull - the is no port yet.

If you actually subscribe to this list it doesn't seem as dead ...

The shell archive below is a testcase demonstrating a bug in handling
R_MIPS_64 relocations in 32-bit ELF broken for relocateable links.
The output objectfile will contain bad relocations like:

0000000000000014 l       .text  0000000000000000 xxx

This seems to be caused by BFD temporarily adding 4 to the relocation's
address.  It seem the fix is to undo this when copying R_MIPS_64
relocations to the output file?

Hello,

I just subscribed to this list after searching for linux/mips information
on the web. I am a Debian developer and I want to participate in creating
a Debian/MIPS distribution. Unfortunatelly I could not find any current
information about how the port is going, which CPUs, machines are
supported, the last update of www.linux.sgi.com was about half a year ago.
I need this information to know what machines to search for to work on.
For start, I might get access to an older Indigo2, which, according to the
mailing list archives (which seems to be missing the last several months'
traffic too) is working with linux...
Btw is the list archived somewhere else perhaps? I followed the link from
www.linux.sgi.com, the latest messages there are dated June 25.
And can someone summarize the current status of linux on different
workstation models ?

Thanks

Greg

I'm fixing this as we speak. There are several old links
to fix :-(

The up-to-date archives can be found at:

They should be updated automatically.

The archives of the messages beginning with June 25th are still missing.
This mail of yours is the first in the linuxmips.9910 archive,
linuxmips.1999 ends at June 25th. :(

has any other work been done?

I needed these to get a 3COM Etherlink III working in the Indigo2.  I
don't know if anyone else could use them, but here they are.  I might be
able to come up with an algorithm that uses one or two fewer instructions.
The can probably be optimised to only use 3 registers instead of 4.  But 
thay are still a lot better than four consecutive insb/outsb.  If other
people are planning on using these I'll do it sooner rather than later.  
I'll try and sneak them into the CVS archive sometime soon ;)

	Hi,

	I am trying to install HardHat linux on an Indy.The kernel and the
	distribution are on different machines so on the command monitor
	I type
	>>boot bootp():/vmlinux nfsroot=144.122.*.*:/tmpfs/mipseb

	The kernel starts to load, it detects the memory, disks and so on,
	and later the installation script begins.I select the target disk
	and the partition (/dev/sdb1) and the packets to be installed.Then
	it starts to make ext2 file system on /dev/sdb1 and after a while,
	it gives up with the message:

	install exited abnormally -- recieved signal 11
	sending termination signals...done
	mounting filesystems.../proc /mnt /tmp
	you may safely reboot your system

	I would be very gradefull if someone could tell me the result and
	the solution.

	thanks in advance,

	baris sertkaya.

We may be receiving a large donation of older SGI's machines that
are Challenge L [(4 x 150) Cpu] models. I think they will come
with Irix 5.3 installed. Will Linux run on these models?

Just wanna make sure I got it right:

Judging from " Linux/MIPS HOWTO:3.2 Processor types: R4000 and R5000
family, R10000," there in not presently a version on Linux that runs on the
SGI O2, right?

Thanx,

As on O2 ownder, I'm anxiously awaiting it, but I've not yet seen it happen. To my knowledge, you are correct.

This or next week there will be a public "mipsel" (Little Endian) 
machine up and running for gcc/binutils/glibc and debian package
building.

I finally managed to get a working libgmp2 for ssh ...

Hi,
does anyone have experiences with the latest (e.g. 991025) binutils from 
cygnus CVS ?

I got it build for "mipsel-unknown-linux-gnu" and got a libgmp2
build (Which fails with binutils 2.8.1 -> segfault ld)

The resulting library links against ssh (with 2.8.1) without problems
and seems to work (SSH works)

Are there any other known problems i might not have noticed ?

Having proved that I have a stable-ish Indy with Hardhat 5.1, kernel
version 2.2.1 , i thought I might put it to work as an ftp server
for part of our internal mirror system.

Installed the rpms for anonftp and wu-ftpd from our mirror of the
latest distribution, but found we got some odd behavior from the
ftp daemon: it was quite happy for people using the Solaris 2.6
client, but using the BSD client or the netscape client I see no
files or directories (although it is possible to move about
the directory structure if you know what the subdirectories are
called).

I also built a more-up-to-date version of wu-ftpd (version 2.5.0
with QUOTAS disabled) but the same thing seems to be happening.

Is this a known problem, and if so is there a fix?

Kind regards,

Pete

This sounds like you are missing something in the lib directory for
your anonymous ftp account. Im not positive how wu-ftpd is configured
for Linux but looking in ~ftp/lib for libc.so, ~ftp/bin for ls and
~ftp/dev for zero would probably be where I would start first.

Here is a good simple set of instructions for configuring an anon ftp
server:
     ~ftp      Make the home directory owned by ``ftp'' and unwritable
by
               anyone (mode 555 - see chmod(1)):

                    chown ftp ~ftp
                    chmod a-w ~ftp



     ~ftp/bin  Make this directory owned by the super-user and
unwritable
               by anyone (mode 555).  The program ls(1) must be
present to
               support the list commands.  This program should have
mode
               111.

     ~ftp/etc  Make this directory owned by the super-user and
unwritable
               by anyone (mode 555). The files passwd(4) and group(4)
must
               be present for the ls command to be able to produce
owner
               names rather than numbers.  This should not be a copy
of the
               real file in /etc, and in particular, it should contain
no
               encrypted passwords from the real /etc/passwd or
/etc/group.
               The password field in passwd is not used.  Only the
minimal
               number of accounts should be listed.  These files
should be
               mode 444.

     ~ftp/lib32
               Make this directory own by the super-user and
unwritable by
               anyone (mode 555).  In order for ls to run, the files
               /lib32/rld and /lib32/libc.so.1 must be copied into
lib32
               (older releases, or some uses of other programs might
also
               require the o32 versions in /lib.  Both rld and
libc.so.1
               should be readable and executable by everyone, e.g.
mode
               555.

     ~ftp/dev  Make this directory owned by the super-user and
unwritable
               by anyone (mode 555).  rld uses /dev/zero, so use
mknod(1)
               to make a copy  of /dev/zero in ~ftp/dev with the same
major
               and minor device numbers.  Make /dev/zero read-only
(mode
               444).

                    mknod ~ftp/dev/zero c 37 0
                    chmod 444 ~ftp/dev/zero

     ~ftp/pub  Make this directory owned by ``ftp''. If local users
and
               remote anonymous users are to be allowed to write in
this
               directory, change the directory's mode to 777.  Users
can
               then place files which are to be accessible via the
               anonymous account in this directory.  If write accesses
are
               to be denied, change the directory's mode to 555.


Hope that helps!
                        Eric.

	Hi, 

	I installed HardHat 5.1 on an Indy.When booting a 2.2.1 kernel,
	it gives the warning:
	Warning: unable to open an initial console.
	after mounting root (ext2 filesystem).When I ping the machine,
	I can see that it is alive.But when I telnet to it, connection is
	refused (most probably because inetd is not running yet).
	I looked up the online FAQ at linux.sgi.com.It says that it might
	occur if the distribution is not on a linux.(because of non-standard
	file represantation).
	The tar file is on an NFS mounted machine running AIX 4.x.I untarred it 
	to the local disk of my linux box.And  I did the installation from
	my machine running linux.But I still have the same problem.

	Could somebody offer a solution please?I have been trying to install
	HardHat for a long time and I still could not manage it.But I hope
	I will see my Indy giving me a login prompt someday :)

Do we have any mechanism to access IO space from userland?  Something
analogous to ioperm or iopl is what I want.

Hi,
i am just in the process of building glibc and discovered a bug i stumpled
over before ...

static inline cycles_t get_cycles (void)
{
        return read_32bit_cp0_register(CP0_COUNT);
}

CP0_COUNT undefined ...

Shouldnt timex.h include mipsregs.h ?

And is this possibly fixed in later Kernels (this is 2.2.1)

This is the 2.8.1+mips patchkit?

Segmentation fault


I am not sure if i am able to preload ld.so.1 - I suspect not ....

What do i do now ? Compile a "zic" whithout the dependency, 
build the package and replace the libc/ld.so ? This seems to be a little
risky.
