  • 1.  Red Hat Linux on 9114-275

    Hi ALL,
    Has anyone successfully install a Red Hat Linux version on a
    9114-275 with a GXT4500P graphics controller?
    I tried searching the net; but have not gotten a definitive
    answer. Most of the answers seems to indicate that it will NOT
    install on a 9114-275. And IBM say that it does NOT install
    on the system. However; I have read some comments that seem to
    indicate that it does.
    I have replaced the 9114-275 with a 8203-E4A system as my primary
    system. Instead of recycling the 9114-275 I thought I would turn
    it into a Linux box. Then I can recycle the PC I now have. I only
    need the PC to run EXCEL. Since Open Office comes with Red Hat Linux,
    I will be able to import all my EXCEL files.
    If not Red Hat Linux; is there any other supported version of
    Linux that can be installed on a 9114-275?

    Oh! Has anyone successfully installed FC 2738 or 2737 into a
    9114-275 (USB adapter)?
    These adapters seem to be in the right H/W I/F configuration to
    be installed in one of the short PCI slots. I was hopping to use it
    to communicate with a printer and a flash drive if I could get a
    version of Linux installed on the system.

    Bye,
    Dwight

    P.S.
    My intent is to have only Linux in running in the system. That is;
    I am not planning to have a partitioned system with AIX and Linux.

    Hi,
    Thanks for the information.
    Being new to the Linux world I am unsure as to what
    you meant by CRUX PPC(64bit).
    Is this a version of Linux by Red Hat? If not; where
    does one get a copy of CRUX?

    Bye,

    Hi,
    Thank you for the update.
    Sorry for not responding sooner. Been very busy trying
    to install a new system.
    I will investigate this further when I have a resolution
    to my other problems.

    Bye,
