A small g4u status update
I've bought a new machine for desktop and development a few months
ago, switching from a 800MHz PC running NetBSD to a MacMini.
I haven't found much time to do any development work in the mean
time, and as a result haven't transferred the corresponding files.
Trying to do just that the other day, I found that the PC doesn't
power up any more - either the power supply is dead, or it is
just too jealous. :)
Either way, I've finally setup a working development environment
for g4u again using NetBSD in Parallels and the g4u sources
from the g4u 2.3 release. After the neccessary adjustments to
match g4u against latest g4u, I have a working build environment
again.
Things to look forward to include a 2.4alpha1 release that has
latest sources (for backup reasons :-), and support for
Bluetooth keyboards as well as latest drivers, esp. ones for
the PERC RAID controllers and Broadcom ethernet controllers
in Dell servers that people requested repeatedly, and that have
finally showed up in NetBSD. Furthermore, there may be kernels
with and without ACPI support. Last, I'm wondering if anyone
is still using the floppy version of g4u... Anyone? Send mail!
