Besides some very minor fixes and the good old kgdb patches, it now
contains prelimenary support for the AlphaStation 200. If you select
"Avanti" as the platform type in "make config", you should get a
kernel that boots at least on an AlphaStation 200/4 233. There is no
TGA support at this point, so you'd need a VGA card if you want to do
anything real. There is the CONFIG_SERIAL_ECHO option though
(courtesy of Jay Estabrook) that allows to echo all printks to
/dev/cua1.
I call this "prelimenary" because I don't really have good access to
the machine where I tried this on (e.g., I can't take over the disk
and install an ext2 filesystem). However, I did manage to boot the
machine and have it read the root filesystem into the RAM disk (with
the SCSI driver initializing properly etc.). But that's about as much
as I could test it.
If you try this on an Avanti, I'd be interested in hearing about it
(good or bad). But I don't promise it will work or that I could help
fixing whatever problem might show up.
