Kernel patches,
utilities and hints for IBM PPC workstations with Carolina
motherboard (like the 7248) by David Monro. (Including frame
buffer support to actually get X up and working!)
Linux on the RS/6000 7043-140 another old but
still popular IBM PReP Workstation. Page by Leigh Brown.
This page also has E15 frame buffer patches for Linux-2.4.
Hollis Blanchard's page for installing Linux on the
PowerSeries 850. Add this to David's and my pages, and you
should be able to get LinuxPPC-2000 Q4 up on the 850 too :-)
11.2. Installing other operating systems on the 7248
Of course, AIX should work like a dream...
Rumors have been spread that once up in a
time, even Window NT and Sun Solaris could run on this
machine. Oh, well. Don't.
NetBSD does of course
work on PReP PowerPCs. It probably also works on your
Remington typewriter from the early 50s. There is a
a
special page for our PReP architecture where the 7248 is
mentioned explicit.
