09:52 <@rxr> I think I'v not yet seen this
09:52 <@rxr> this is trunk being built on a t2 system?

14:33 < rogermason> Hello.
14:37 < rogermason> Having built an x86 generic basic install + xorg and added many packages to it, I now want to build it on (and for) a G5.  The G5 in question has 1 Gb RAM and two ~2Ghz processors.  Is there any advantage in building a 64 bit system?
14:52 <@rxr> you need to build powerpc64 anyway, the linux kernel only runs on 64bit PowerPC CPUs in 64bit mode
14:52 <@rxr> on ppc64 on t2 by default all binaries are 64bit
14:52 <@rxr> I never had a problem due this, like the 64bitiness
14:52 < rogermason> OK.  That makes the decision easy :-).
14:53 <@rxr> on sparc64 however, I endured the pain and let t2 default to 32bit, for the few percent of extra juice on my very aging sparc64 box, ...
14:53 <@rxr> that is sparc64 has a 64bit kernel, too, just the userland is 32bit
14:53 <@rxr> you could make similar changes for ppc64, but the 64bit userland works great on my machines :-)
14:55 < rogermason> My current gentoo install on this G5 is 64 bit with 32 bit userland. I don't like it.  All 64 bit will be superior, I think.
14:55 <@rxr> yeah depends
14:55 <@rxr> helps for db and other huge memroy apps
14:55 <@rxr> memory apps
14:56 <@rxr> on RISC, howeve, 64bit is genearlly a few percent slower due to the extra large instructions, and additional spare 0 memory shuffling
14:56 < rogermason> I can live with that.
14:56 <@rxr> on x86-64 that is not that visiblity, because of the variable instruction size, and the vastly increased ammount of general purose registers more than compensating this
14:57 <@rxr> rogermason: yeah me too
14:58 < rogermason> I'm going to try and build trunk on my gentoo G5 as a start.  If that fails I'll get the G5 T2 binary.  Do you know if it is possible to boot a G5 from a USB stick?
14:59 <@rxr> hm, I think possible but not tested
14:59 <@rxr> the t2 iso2stick script will certainly not work, as it is hardcoded for grub
14:59 <@rxr> I would test with a CD / DVD for a start
15:00 <@rxr> we could work on that when you got t2 on your machine
15:00 <@rxr> we would have to format the stick with an HFS parttion for yaboot, after that it should work
15:00 <@rxr> module potentially hardcoded device numbers in yaboot's config
15:03 < rogermason> Yes, I'm willing to work on the iso2stick thing.  I have a version of it that makes the stick with syslinux instead of grub for booting.
15:03 < rogermason> How dis you get T2 on your G5?
15:03 <@rxr> I always ISO installed my ppc's
15:04 < rogermason> from CD?
15:05 <@rxr> sure
15:05 < rogermason> how did you build the ISO?  Cross-build on another architecture?
15:08 <@rxr> that is so long ago, honestly I only remember vaguely, ...
15:08 <@rxr> that was still the time of ROCK Linux, ... :-)
15:09 <@rxr> at that time ROCK Linux had some initial PPC support, from the use on IBM machines, ...
15:09 <@rxr> but I think it was too limited to boot on the iBook I purchased
15:09 <@rxr> and cross compiling was still not as advanced as I later implemented
15:09 <@rxr> I think I compiled early ROCK Linux versions on yellow dog for some week until the result booted on my iBook
15:10 <@rxr> if you wanted to know it in that detail
15:10 <@rxr> that was very very long ago
15:10 <@rxr> today you can fully cross compile bootable PPC isos with T2
15:21 < rogermason> hmmm.  I wonder if I could get my two T2 boxes to help compile for my G5 using distcc or icecream.
15:23 <@rxr> if the boxes are fast I find this more troubel than worth
15:23 <@rxr> my multi core boxes usually build a minimal iso in just some hours
15:28 < rogermason> OK.  Two 2Ghz processors ought to be OK.  Thanks.
16:47 <@rxr> for the records, minimal i386 just cross built fine without and error on current trunk
17:07 < CIA-32> rene * r37647 /trunk/target/share/install/ (build_initrd.sh build_stage2.sh init): * finally compress the installer 2nd_stage, again, and even more then ever before
