This directory contains precompiled Linux kernels. Brief descriptions of each kernel is given below. You can find complete descriptions of the kernels in the individual "config" files in each kernel subdirectory. mrcoffee.n Sun JavaStation 1 ("Mr. Coffee") support. There are no IDE or SCSI drivers in this kernel, as the JS1 has no provisions for those. This kernel is also set up with proper network booting and root filesystem support. Systems that should use this image: Sun JavaStation 1 sun4.s Support for Sun 4 systems, specifically the Sun 4/330. Contains SCSI disk and CD-ROM support and all available SPARC SCSI drivers. NOTE: This kernel only works on sun4 systems. System that should use this image: Sun 4/330 sun4c.s Support for the sun4c family of SPARC systems. Contains SCSI disk and CD-ROM support and all available SPARC SCSI drivers. NOTE: This kernel can also boot sun4m and sun4d machines, but does not support SMP machines in those families. Sun SPARCstation SLC Sun SPARCstation ELC Sun SPARCstation IPC Sun SPARCstation IPX Sun SPARCstation/server 1 Sun SPARCstation/server 1+ Sun SPARCstation/server 2 sun4dm.s Support for the sun4d and sun4m families of SPARC systems. Contains SCSI disk and CD-ROM support and all available SPARC SCSI drivers. Systems with multiple CPUs are also supported. Systems that should use this image: Sun SPARCclassic Sun SPARCstation LC Sun SPARCstation LX Sun SPARCstation 4 Sun SPARCstation/server 5 Sun SPARCstation/server 10 Sun SPARCstation/server 20 Sun SPARCserver 1000 Sun SPARCcenter 2000 sun4u.s Support for UltraSPARC systems, both SBus and PCI. Contains SCSI disk and CD-ROM support, all available UltraSPARC SCSI drivers, and IDE disk and CD-ROM support. Systems with multiple CPUs are also supported. Systems that should use this image: Sun SPARCengine CP1400, CP1500 Sun Ultra 1, Ultra 1 Creator Sun Ultra 2, Ultra 2 Creator Sun UltraAXi, UltraAXmp Sun Ultra 5 Sun Ultra 10 Sun Ultra 30 Sun Ultra 60 Sun Ultra 80 Sun Netra i Sun Netra T1 Sun Enterprise 1 Sun Enterprise 2 Sun Enterprise 150 Sun Enterprise 250 Sun Enterprise 450 Sun Enterprise 3000 Sun Enterprise 3500 Sun Enterprise 4000 Sun Enterprise 4500 Sun Enterprise 5000 Sun Enterprise 6000 Sun Enterprise 6500 Sun Enterprise 10000 Sun Blade 100 Sun Blade 1000 sun4u_24.s This is a Linux 2.4.18-rc4 boot disk for UltraSPARC systems. Systems supported by the sun4u.s disk are also supported by this image. These kernels are offered for installation during the setup program and they are provided here as a reference for those wanting to rebuild their kernel. These kernels are also perfectly fine to add to your system. Installation is easy. Suppose you want to install the sun4u.s kernel. First have a look at what's in that directory. Say it contains these items: 2.2.20/ System.map config vmlinux* The "2.2.20" directory contains kernel modules specific to the sun4u.s kernel. Copy this directory to /lib/modules/2.2.20. If you previously had a /lib/modules/2.2.20pre2 directory, make sure it's gone before copying over the new one. rm -rf /lib/modules/2.2.20 cp -av 2.2.20 /lib/modules The "System.map" and "config" file should be placed in /boot for reference purposes. The System.map file is useful for kernel developers and the config file is the kernel configuration file used to build the sun4u.s kernel. If you decide to recompile your kernel, you may wish to start with this config as a default. Having it in /boot makes a nice reference. cp -a System.map config /boot The last file is the actual kernel. Copy it to / and reboot. cp -a vmlinux /vmlinux That's it. Be careful not to install a kernel that will render the system unbootable.
