DECStation Linux Kernel selector

DECStation Linux Kernel selector

Here are shortcuts to recent kernel images for DECStations. For first time use, you should get a Netboot kernel, and follow the instructions in my Installation HOWTO. The Diskboot images can be used to boot from a disk using the delo bootloader (on certain systems).

New: The kernels are distributed as .tgz files, and include the System.map file for that build.

Kernel version 2.4.0-test9

	Diskboot (ELF)	Netboot (ECOFF)
DECStation 2100
DECStation 3100
DECStation 5000/20, /25, /33
DECStation 5000/50
DECStation 5000/120, /125, /133
DECStation 5000/150
DECStation 5000/200	not yet	not yet
DECStation 5000/240
DECStation 5000/260

Kernel version 2.4.18

These tar files now also include a (small) modules tree.

	Diskboot (ELF)	Netboot (ECOFF)
DECStation 2100	not yet	not yet
DECStation 3100	not yet	not yet
DECStation 5000/20, /25, /33
DECStation 5000/50
DECStation 5000/120, /125, /133
DECStation 5000/150
DECStation 5000/200
DECStation 5000/240
DECStation 5000/260

Notes:

These kernels are tested on a 5000/150, a 5000/200, a 5000/240, and a 5000/260. Please report your success or failures.
I've not yet tried a 2100 / 3100 system. Last time I could only netboot a kernel, but the kernel could not use ethernet or scsi.
