So i did it boinc and the setiathome app. build with compaq ccc.
At least the setiathome app. is twice as fast as using gcc to compile it.
Average processing time is at 4h to 4.30 per wu on my ds10.

Cool. What did you use for your compile flags?
Most of the speedup of ccc vs gcc comes from the Compaq cpml math library.

I compiled clients for ev5,ev6 and ev67 so the flags depend on the arch.
My clients take heavy use of fftw3 libs (fftw.org) compiled with ccc ( linked against cpml).

used flags are: -fast -O5 -fp_reorder -ifo -inline speed - tune arch -host arch -ansi_alias -tweak -lcpml


Nice one! This could be the motivation I need to get stuck into my hardware problem again. I take it this is the boinc client and not the setiathome classic, as that is about to be put off-line.

By the way, your link is broken at the moment!

Bump!

Moderators please split this thread into 'BOINC CCC Port for Alpha', hopefully that'll attract somebody back to the thread, thanks.

You can get BOINC and the SETI@Home app. http://www.guntec.de/Crunch3r/

For some reason I wasn't watching this topic any more and only just saw the new posts. Thanks BaNJaX and jeffd for the inspiration, I'll try reseating the RAM again *properly* (need to get some compressed air that MxA was talking about) and otherwise swapping out the daugherboard (where I assume the cache is located)! Hopefully my next post will be all :D


This should probably be a new thread, but I'm posting here in the hope some of you guys are still subscribed to this thread.

Anyway, I've finally managed to get my XLT working again! Tried lots of different ram combinations and finally got one that's stable.

My problem is this:

I've worked all the way through the install process using the manual and Gentoo alpha live cd 2005.1, only now I'm unable to boot into the install from MILO using the 2.6 kernel I've compiled.

I'm using
Code:

MILO>boot sdb1:vmlinux root=/dev/sdb3

and MILO subsequently starts loading the kernel, although all that happens is that it endlessly reboots the MILO environment.

Does anyone have any ideas as to what could be the cause of my problem?

Thanks,
Pete

Been doing a bit more troubleshooting.

I realised I forgot to mkdosfs on the sdb1 partition so I went back in and did that and copied over the vmlinux and vmlinux.gz files again (don't know how I could copy them before without this...)

Unfortuantely this gives the same result.

With the vmlinux.gz I get the error
Code:
#UNZIP invalid compressed format

and with vmlinux it loads the file ok but then at the end I see something like:
Code:
Setting up MILO reboot parameter block ...
Bootstrap complete ... jumping into Linux Kernel.

Upon which MILO reboots endlessly every 30 seconds unless I press a key.

My MILO version is 2.2.18 built against 2.2.19 (taviso's latest afaik).
