Yes, I need to fix this, but my compile didn't drop dead here, it kept going. Mind posting an `emerge --info`?

i didn't even think about that. the stage used was jackass one, and some of the compile flags might be too agressive.

If anything those flags caught an omission that would have otherwise gone unfixed. I'm putting together a patch that has that fixed.

Thanks for your fast reply!
since the latest stable kernel is linux-2.6.15-gentoo-r1 is there any chance of just doing the patch for that version?
i tried applying it, and the only problems were in version.h and that same reboot.c compile error. |

New patch up at http://gentoo.404ster.com/projects.php?action=view&id=4. Shouldn't have any trouble with it. After you put the minimal config in the directory be sure to run `make menuconfig` and add any filesystem support you'd like, iptables, etc. Just mind the 1800k compressed limit

hey guys, i have recently come upon a RaQ 3i. The OS appears to be non-booting. 
I have since pulled the drive and examined the contents. From looking at the drive I dont see any reason that it shouldnt boot...
to make a long story short, does anyone know how to repair (need to find issue first...) an existing RaQ install? (i BELIEVE its the stock OS, but have no clue...where to look?)
I have *many* other gentoo linux boxes, and would love to get this guy running it.
also, what is the biggest cpu anyone has tossed in one of these RaQ (3i's)?
thanks all in advance

The CPU in the 3i cannot, as far as I'm aware, be upgraded. Repairing an existing Cobalt install... Well, that depends on exactly where it's breaking down. Have you put a serial console on it? If so, would it be possible for you to post what you get from first line to last breath?

what sort of serial cable do i need? I have a few (different pinouts) and will try them. I will be using my xp/gentoo dual booted laptop (under xp) for serial support as I have never setup serial support or serial apps on linux before. (eventually I would love to, just dont have the time right now... :S)
thanks!

For serial connections to a RaQ you need a normal "null modem" serial cable. As far as Linux applications go... Minicom. But I usually use a FreeBSD machine and a program called "tip".

Any progress on getting some kind of LiveCD working for the RAQ3/4 machines? |

I apologize for the slow reply. I haven't tried the current LiveCD with regard to whether or not the NFS system actually works. I'll give it a shot in the coming week.

Yes, and no... it doesn't work. The ROM kernel has no notion to boot from a CD-ROM drive. Nice thought though

@symbiat
I've installed a combined card with 2*FireWire and 3*USB 2.0 in the only available PCI-bus of my Cobalt Cube3. Anything hooked up to either USB or FW worked flawlessly. DVD/CD you name it. Can't recall if I've tried to hook up my old HP CD-writer to the SCSI interface though... Did not feel the need.
I'm unaware if a cube is capable of booting via either one of the interfaces. |

I'm pretty sure it won't be able to boot off the USB or FireWire interfaces... those require pretty complicated firmware. It's worth noting that much of this was brand new when the Qube3 was released.
As for a LiveCD: I'm considering putting together such a disc. Since the Cobalt hardware isn't capable of booting a CD (the Qube2 with a flashed BOOTROM can apparently read EXT3 off a CD, but it's not straightforward), the way I see it working, is you'd use a host x86 PC, hooked up to the primary interface of the Cobalt via a cross-over cable. You could then hook the secondary interface to your LAN to get network connectivity directly with the Cobalt. The LiveCD would have minicom, an NFS server, BOOTP, netboot images and stage tarballs.
The initial ones will be for the RaQ2/Qube2 only for now though... as I'm unaware of any netboot images for Qube3 ... but as soon as JeffW produces a couple, they could be included as well.
We'll see what happens... Right now though... Uni demands my attention.

I am trying to get 2.6.16-12 to work on a RAQ4 (2.10.3-ext3 rom), and I am getting pretty far.
But so far, I am stuck at this (below). When booting, it seems to go fine, until this: | Quote: | hda: cache flushes supportedER: mapping 22M-32M for ride
