I was looking at http://wwws.sun.com/software/download/oper...rating_sys.html and wondering if SUN provides a way of downloading the source code for the cobalt linux kernel. I could not find one. The site http://www.gurulabs.com/rhl-cobalt-howto/r...e3.howto.4.html mentions a cobalt-linux-2.4.16C2_III-ext3fs.patch but ftp://ftp.cobalt.sun.com/pub/products/qub...l/updates/SRPMS only has a 2.2.16 kernel.

I would also love to know as I own a Sun Cobalt Nasraq and I am stuck with the 2.0 MIPS kernel. I cannot use bigger hard drives on it because of this.

 

I have the ISOS for the NASRAQ, but no source code. While the Nasraq has been the most reliable linux server I have ever run, running for over two years, it is pain in the ass to put yourself in the hands of a hardware manufacturer who can decide at any point to stop supporting a product, as it happened in my case.
