About the Gentoo releases Gentoo versions. One of Gentoo's major advantages is that it does not really know versions.Once installed, the user has a Gentoo installation, not a Gentoo 2005.1 or 2004.3 installation.

My ECC Ram question went by without so much as a burp on the list, who knows if this will make any waves, either I'm running it on a Sun Fire 5120 (UltraSPARC T2), I needed some help from the folks in #gentoo-sparc since I ran into some build issues that turned out to be related to the livecd kernel and basically had to borrow a kernel to get up and running.

SPARC machines use a set of data structures which describes the disk geometry and how is it is divided in partitions which is placed at the very first sector of an hard drive. This structure is known as a Sun disklabel and is not to confuse with the assignation of a label to partition with e2label or xfs_admin . Jun 11, 2017 · Gentoo's Yury German is informing the community of the Linux-based operating system via a mailing list announcement that the Gentoo security team will no longer support the SPARC architecture.

To be able to install Gentoo, the necessary partitions need to be created. This chapter describes how to partition a disk for future usage. Installing the Gentoo installation files Gentoo installs work through a stage3 archive. In this chapter we describe how to extract the stage3 archive and configure Portage. Installing the Gentoo base system Gentoo/SPARC is a Gentoo project designed to bring the Gentoo GNU/Linux operating system to the SPARC and UltraSPARC platforms. Gentoo/SPARC aims to provide a usable server and desktop environment for your various SPARC related endeavors. The SPARC port uses the sparc keyword. It focuses on sun4u hardware (Sun UltraSparc systems with v9 CPUs). v8 processors and 2.4 kernels should still work with Gentoo, but they are no longer supported by the Gentoo/SPARC team. SPARC Kernel and Userland ABIs v9 systems use a pure 64 bit kernel and a pure 32 bit userland. Let's take a good look at disk-oriented aspects of Gentoo Linux and Linux in general, including Linux filesystems, partitions, and block devices. Once the ins and outs of disks and filesystems are understood, partitions and filesystems can be established for the Gentoo Linux installation. To begin, let's look at block devices. The version supported by Gentoo/SPARC (v9) is bi-endian. It uses big-endian instructions, but can access data in little-endian byte-order, such as PCI devices, which are little-endian by nature. Below we cover how to install Gentoo Linux on a sparc system using the minimal installation CD. Gentoo also supports installation from a TFTP netboot image. For more information, please see the Sparc/Netboot article for setting up a netboot server, and find the TFTPBoot images on the Gentoo mirrors under experimental/sparc/tftpboot/sparc64/.
