great job! :)
upgraded from the previous -pre and everything runs smoothly!

I'm working on the 64bit x-toolchain, it might be ready soon and it will probably be more cleand than in previous releases. This thanks to this excellent toolchain and to the unification of the ppc and ppc64 arch branches that are now merged in the single powerpc arch in the kernel sources :) :D

Please stay tuned and give us a feedback!

feedback :)

Does this pre7 can boot efika?

No it cannot, but as far as usually you don't directly boot on efika (unless you have an usb cdrom), you can boot from the ready-to-use archive on usb drive, chroot to the iso and run setup on it... or you can tftp boot the kernel of a previous release and install from the nfs-exported iso... or again you can install old release and then pkgadd -f -u all the packages...
Fantasy is the only limit to the many ways you can install it on efika. A new ready-to-use image will be ready soon, but please be patient as we have some more urgent issues to solve before that.

enjoy :wink:

UPDATE 16/01/2008: files removed

the next-coming release 'll include EFIKA and Sam440ep bootkernel too.

Any ETA?

I'd like to test this as soon as possible for EFIKA.

Thanks.

in the next couple of days i'll prepare another 2.4pre with EFIKA kernel too.

We must delay RC1 release 'cause our server (where we are going to create new git server) it's down.

We are working on our new host (crux.it) to activate CRUX PPC 2.4 git repository (the old one still remain on sunsite.dk).

Btw, as promised i prepaired a -pre9 in 28 Dec 2007, but it seems there is a little issue during setup process. Then, I must investigate to fix it.

just now prepaired a new iso.

some notes:

I will try to integrate a sam440ep bootkernel in this very same iso tomorrow.
I hope someone will try it and report whether it boots... :roll:
