Anyone looking for test machines? My dorm has three unused SGI machines sitting in the basement, and I'd be willing to dump a kernel on them and plug them into the network if anyone here is looking to do some testing or whatnot. I don't know much about SGIs, but here's what they tell me (or what I can gleam from looking at them): Crimson: IP17, R4000 50 MHz (R4010 FPU), 64MB RAM, GR2-Elan graphics, two 1.3 gig drives, one currently has Irix 4.0.5 Indigo2: Aqua, IP22, R4000 100 MHz, ~192MB RAM, some beefy graphics card, no drive but I could spare at least a gig (or 60 over NFS) Indigo2: Purple, IP22, R4400 250 MHz, 128MB RAM, High Impact graphics, one 2 gig drive, CD-ROM, currently has Irix 6.2 or so ---- On an unrelated note, my Vadem Clio project is halted again, this time with frequent SIGILLs. In particular, GCC 3.0.1 (and latest CVS) crashes (in cc1), and 'rm' crashes unless I disable the 'check for infinite recursion' code. (the problem also goes away if I add some debugging printf()s, sometimes). A cross-gdb on my PC doesn't seem to like core files, and I haven't had much luck getting gdb to run natively, so I'm running out of ideas for how to debug this. Anyone seen anything similar? It's quite possibly a buggy cross compiler just generating buggy binaries (GCC 3.0.1 on the PC, with glibc 2.2.4) but I thought others were using this compiler just fine. (Running a somewhat hacked 2.4.5-ish Linux-VR/Linux-MIPS kernel, with sysmips patches as recommended by Maciej) -jim
