Gentoo/MIPS Cobalt 2007.0: MIPS-I Stages Released

Friday, March 16th, 2007

Hi,

As promised, some stages compiled for MIPS-I have been released.  These stages should be appropriate for almost all little-endian MIPS hardware equipped with a decent amount of memory (128MB or more).  This should make things a little easier for those wishing to install Gentoo on MIPS32 hardware such as AMD Alchemy development boards.

Note, anything kernel or bootloader related, we can’t help with.  It’s assumed you know what you’re doing as far as actually preparing a bootable kernel and configuring your firmware to boot Gentoo.

Next on the list, is to look into µClibc stages for Cobalt — which will hopefully be used to produce updated netboot images for Cobalt.  So yeah, I’ve been absent for the last week or so, de-stressing and getting uni sorted out.  In short, it’s all system’s go now.
