[WBEL-devel] ia64 ready for testing

[Pasi Pirhonen]

Hi,

The trick worked fine. It's a hack that i took the boot.img out from
boot.iso, but i really want to get this out for other people to test
it.

Now i'd need that spece for uploading the stuff. ftp/scp is fine (after
i get the stuff to office which is in about 2+h from now).


Basically it's rebuild of i386 sources. Added that acpid, gnu-efi and
elilo which are native additions for this arch.

Base build done over RHEL3 public beta2 and rebuilt over itself.

It should pretty much match the WBEL/i386 release.

The OpenOffice.org binaries are included even tho those aren't working.
Someone might get it working tho. I did some symlinking, but didn't get
it fire up althought it started to do the 'first time configuration'

PS. The amd64+libata is holding up pretty good. No hickups so far.
Running OS on VIA and the 2x250GB LVM-stripe on Promise controller.
There are parallel kernel compiles and looped tiobench pounding it
steadily all the time trying to get it break.
