Debian on SGI O2

sun.vijay · External Since: Jun 14, 2007 Posts: 2

I have installed debian etch on my SGI O2 R5K IP32 (180MHz) with only
64MB of RAM.

It boots slowly but surely. Could this be because of RAM?

ALSA does not seem to load an A3 Audio driver. Is there support for
this already?

Please help as this is my first MIPS installation.

Thanks

There's some out of date patches floating around, but other than that,
there is no official audio for IP32 yet.

64MB of RAM is a little cramped for a 2.6 kernel so I would say that RAM
is your culprit. It'll work (as you can see), but it depends on what
you want to do with your O2. FWIW, I've got a 200MHz O2 (running Etch)
with 512MB of RAM sitting next to me right now. It is running a ton of
services and not even touching swap (currently it is only using about
384MB of RAM).
