Is any development being done on MILO ?
The latest source I could find is milo-2.1.13. It doesn't compile:
gcc -D__KERNEL__ -D__linux__ -O2 -Wall -mno-fp-regs -DPALCODE_AT=0xfffffc0000200000 -DLOADER_AT=0xfffffc0000500000 -DSTUB_AT=0xfffffc0000210000 -DDECOMP_PALBASE=0x300000 -DDECOMP_BASE=0x300B00 -DPALCODE_SIZE=0x10000 -DLOADER_SIZE=0x20000
-DDC21066 -DMINI_NVRAM -I. -Ix86 -Ifs -I/usr/src/linux/include -I/usr/src/linux -Ipalcode/noname/ -c -o relocate.o relocate.c

Since I don't know anything of alpha assembler and magic words like pal-code
etc. yet, I have no clue what gcc wants to tell me :-(
I would like to modify the vga-emulation code to initialize the VGA-card
@132x44 . This probably should be an environment-option.
The other reason is: milo is the _only_ thing left that I did _not_ compile
myself :-)) ......
Maybe the topic I mentioned in my other post today (pci interrupts etc.)
will/should affect milo, too. Maybe that should be a milo-environment option,
too, instead of a kernel-boot-option.
