Hi all,

I've got a PII server with OSR 5.0.5 on it. It's getting quite slow and I
want to update the config.
I see on a lot of threats PIV won't work without a patch only avaible since
5.0.6, but nobody is talking about AMD Sempron / Barton or XP or even big
Cel D (2.8ghz for ex).

Is there a way the OSR 5.0.5 will work on one of these chips ?

Thanks,

David

So where is the truth ? Did someone try to install it on AMD recent chips ?

Thanks.

I think you will need to obtain SCO drivers if the exist, and install at boot
time, but I can't remember the command at boot time to get the drivers
installed. Good luck.

Hi all,

I just tried to install SCO OSR 5.05 on an AMD Duron 1.8Ghz with the apps
I'm running usually and it seems to be working just fine. I'll test it more
deeply to see if everything is ok, and I'll tell you if something is wrong.

Anyway that's quite good news

Do you know what updates I should load ?
Thanks,

David

Start with rs505a, then go through the rest of the list at ftp.sco.com.

Because there were a lot of post saying it wasn't working and that you could
only run it on PIII max.
Even sco said so (take a look here http://tinyurl.com/67daz).

Thanks for the updates suggestion.

I don't see where that says anything that implies 5.0.5 is not
recommended on a Duron, unless Durons use "the same netburst
architecture as P4".

I would be wary, but I haven't seen anything definitive one way or the
other, so if I had to stick to 5.0.5, and dual P3 or dual P3-xeon
wasn't good enough, (or I couldn't get smp for whatever reason), then
I'd try a current AMD. As it happens, in that event I wouldn't use a
Duron, but only for the same reasons I wouldn't use a Celeron, I would
use whatever was the best 32bit AMD at the time.
