I have more a500's in cupertino test ring that could be co-opted into being used for buildd's. Just need a DD willing to manage the machine. HP is physically hosting the rack - so I can't guarantee physical security if that's a requirement. > > I run stock: linux-image-2.6.26-1-parisc64-smp (2.6.26-13) > > on my SMP 2x PA8700 system without any problems. > > There are several reports of stability on various mixtures of > kernel/platform - and the non-buildd debian.org hppa machine seems to > be quite stable as well.

Dave Anglin (hppa-gcc maintainer) seems to have the best luck with a "custom" 2.6.22.19 kernel that's been on gsyprf11 for over a year now: Linux gsyprf11 2.6.22.19 #1 SMP Sat Apr 5 18:55:33 PDT 2008 parisc64 GNU/Linux I believe most of the stability issues have been resolved with newer kernel.org kernels (Helge/Kyle would know better). But I don't think we tried those against the gcc builds that are routinely running on gsyprf11.external.hp.com. hth, grant -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-release-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
