GVP Contollers and Linux
« on: July 02, 2004, 04:44:04 AM »
Any of you guys (&gals) ever successfully installed a unix/linux/BSD OS on to a GVP controller based Amiga?

I cannot get Debien, RedHat or BSD to recognise my hard drives on my A530/A500 during an install test of the kernal.

It really bugs me.
I really do not know why I need Linux on my Amiga. It's just because ...

GVP Series II is supported by Linux, so you can try loading that driver and see.  But, unless you've swapped your 68EC030 for a 68030 you won't be able to use Linux anyway as it requires a MMU.


Yes I installed a real 68030, an FPU. That's a real good point and I should have mentioned that earlier.

I think I am doing some wrong in regards to loading the proper driver.

I thought I was, but then again, I think I may have to re-compile the kernal with it. The docs I had were a little confusing in that regard.

I should be able to recompile using any Linux shouldn't I? (ie Linux installed on a PC platform?).
Or do I have to compile it using gcc from within the native AmigaOS?
