T1000 - it's Linux time

Ubuntu finally releases Ubuntu 6.06 LTS for SPARC.

So a working netboot image for my T1000 is available, just about 2 months after I got mine.

I just went through the setup, an here she goes:

[ 0.000000] PROMLIB: Sun IEEE Boot Prom 'OBP 4.20.0 2005/12/15 16:49'
[ 0.000000] PROMLIB: Root node compatible: sun4v
[ 0.000000] Linux version 2.6.15-25-sparc64-smp (buildd@vivies) (gcc version 4.0.3 (Ubuntu 4.0.3-1ubuntu5)) #1 SMP Wed Jun 14 11:47:38 UTC 2006
[ 0.000000] ARCH: SUN4V

Great!


So far everything works fine. At the moment I'm building a crosstoolchain for performance testing.
Stay tuned.
