| 07:46.33 | peterrooney | pahartik is a glutton for suffering |
| 07:51.38 | pahartik | peterrooney: What happened? |
| 07:55.30 | peterrooney | BSD. oldworld. |
| 07:57.47 | pahartik | peterrooney: It is worth investigating... If it is stable enough, I might switch my main server to it |
| 07:58.49 | peterrooney | One week of reading about partitions and labels, another of trying to make it go (with a serious dent in my GPA), and then... debian: one hour. X took another week. |
| 08:00.17 | peterrooney | I suppose now, I could probably do it with less hassle. |
| 08:00.56 | pahartik | peterrooney: Because of "libc6 issue", I cannot upgrade (OldWorld PowerMacintosh) servers from "etch" to "lenny" or "squeeze"... Additionally, my main server is stuck with Linux 2.4 kernel because |
| 08:02.24 | pahartik | peterrooney: ...UltraWide SCSI-adapter driver was broken soon after beginning of Linux 2.6 kernel development |
| 08:03.24 | pahartik | peterrooney: I have used NetBSD and OpenBSD before, on SPARC and Alpha |
| 08:07.06 | peterrooney | Oh, well. that UW issue does make things hard. what's the libc6 issue? |
| 08:10.23 | pahartik | peterrooney: When using "libc6 2.7" with PowerPC 604e, random segmentation faults... For example, after upgrading "etch" to "libc6" from "lenny" or trying to use "lenny" installer |
| 08:11.38 | peterrooney | and, given the immense popularity of the 604e, not a high priority to the GNU folk. |
| 08:13.13 | pahartik | peterrooney: When using "libc6 2.10" with PowerPC 604e, string copy errors (I think)... For example, after upgrading "etch" to "libc6" from "squeeze", one has to use ^L very often to see what is actually going on |
| 08:17.02 | pahartik | peterrooney: I think "libc6 2.7" has string copy and memory copy errors, but "libc6 2.10" only has only string copy errors... Maybe it works without problems again in some future "libc6" version... |
| 08:17.55 | peterrooney | Until then, welcome to disklabels. |
| 08:22.26 | pahartik | peterrooney: I think it worked fine on PowerPC 603e (but my PowerMacintosh 5500 fails to power up anymore to verify)... Tried to build custom "libc6" to see if changing optimization settings would have any effect, but I cannot get any build of "libc6" to finish succesfully on NewWorld PowerMacintosh workstation... |
| 08:24.42 | pahartik | peterrooney: But trial and error testing is mostly fun and I have lots of time |
