| |
| 26 Dec 2006: | We switched our network infrastructure from Extreme Networks to HP gear, as Extreme Networks wouldn't provide us with firmware upgrades (we had firmware crashes on our switches). HP at least provides its updates for free :) |

| |
| 23 Jan 2005: | There has been an unexpected power outtage here at school and several boxes had some recovery troubles. Especially the box hosting our MySQL database, which HD died. Therefore we have lost all news entries since Jul 9th, 2004 :-(
As a consequence, we have moved the MySQL db onto the webserver.
We are trying to 'revive' some of the news and tasks by recalling what happened and when, but it will certainly be a rather imprecise work :-P |
| |
| 09 Jul 2004: | Scheduled Downtime: The website will be unavailable from Jul 10, 2004 07:00 CEST to Jul 10, 2004 16:00 CEST due to the annual power system checkup at ESIEE. |

| |
| 10 May 2003: | You might have noticed some trouble in reaching the site lately. Just blame it on our new ISP, which put the 'r' out of 'service'. |

| |
| 22 Sep 2002: | Since 2.4.19-pa19, default kernel config uses SYM2 SCSI driver instead of SYM1, avoiding an outstanding bug that occured on some boxes (like B2600). Therefore, netinsts feature this new driver since then. |
| | Thanks to Robin Kearney and the people of Another.com, we got a huge L1000-44 to work on !
Many thanks to them, and to all guys that have helped and still help our effort ! |

Thank you for your understanding. |
| |

| |
| 29 Jul 2002: | We now have a linux-2.5 tree available on PARISC-Linux CVS and it has reached the point of booting in very restricted conditions ;)
We're still at a stage where we are "happy if it crashes when trying to init" ! |
| |
| 15 Jul 2002: | Thibaut is actually working on a big update of the Supported Hardware List, and he needs your help !
See this mail for details.
A testimonial section is also planned. So testimonials are welcome too (like: "I run J5000 with linux-2.4.18-paXX SMP 64bit, as a web/ftp server on a 10Mbit link, with apache,proftpd, got big uptimes (200 days), average 2000 connections a day", or any info that would demonstrate the efficiency of hppa-linux.)
You can mail puffin@esiee.fr if you want to provide information. Thanks a lot for your support ! |
| |
| 04 Jul 2002: | The *-USBSTI64-* netinst and lifimage are available.
We used them to install a B2000 and a J5000.
Their extra features are STI_CONSOLE, stifb support on 64bit kernel, and USB support inside the kernel. We have noticed that there are some problems with the USB keyboard (key between the main part of the kbd and the numpad aren't working properly). |
| |
| 03 Jul 2002: | We feel a bit like californians over here : as you may have noticed, we are experiencing recurrent power outages this week.
To avoid any further problems, the webserver will be shut down tonight at 8:00PM CEST and *may* be restarted tomorrow morning around 9:00 AM CEST.
Please apologize for the inconvenience and for any other unexpected downtime.
We will keep you informed. |
| |
| 01 Jul 2002: | The maintenance operation is over, we hope there won't be anymore trouble. |
| | Well, it seems that we spoke a bit too fast. A huge unexpected power failure has affected our school Sunday evening, and the site was unreacheable from Sunday 30, 19:30 CEST to Monday 31, 00:40 CEST.
As the hardware suffered from this outage, there will be another downtime Monday morning CEST to replace the damaged parts, it should last about 15mn.
All apologies for the trouble. We hope to get back to normal ASAP. |

Another - shorter - downtime is also scheduled somewhere between the end of June and the start of July, for replacing our school's main router.
We'll post a news as soon as the date will be decided. |
| |
| 16 Jun 2002: | Thibaut has released his script for building netinst ISO and lifimage.
See the download section for details. |
| |
| 15 Jun 2002: | Well, all appologies, the -pa36 are featuring latest mods from Richard Hirst, but are not PDC Console enabled in the kernel.
The default debian .config has to be tweaked to do so, therefore all netinsts and lifimages with PDC Console support will be tagged -PDC- in their name.
The next -pa37 will be so. Please report any problem or success ! |
| | The -pa36 netinst and lifimage are available, featuring Richard's latest b-f and makedev mods, which now allow PDC console at boot.
See this mail for details.
All netinst and lifimage that will be built from now will also be PDC enabled.
These are still UNTESTED. Feedback would be greatly appreciated ! |
| |
| 01 Jun 2002: | -pa32 and -pa32 with PDC Console support ISOs are available here, and the corresponding lifimages are available here.
PDC hasn't been tested AT ALL; so feedback would be appreciated !

| |
| 30 May 2002: | -pa31 ISO is available! |
