I don't have 1st hand experience with the combination you're<br /> referencing above, but peanut gallery comments<br /> <br /> 1) I'd encourage you to retry the default Cavium provided OS - I<br /> realize that the package manager may not be fun, but they have thus<br /> far been good about software support for our needs<br /> <br /> 2) Fedora has put quite a bit of effort into their AArch64 distro<br /> ------------<br /> I'm happy to connect you to people @ARM or @Cavium which is likely a<br /> better support channel for critical software like this.<br /> _______________________________________________<br /> Beowulf mailing list, <a href="mailto:Beowulf@beowulf.org">Beowulf@beowulf.org</a> sponsored by Penguin Computing<br /> To change your subscription (digest mode or unsubscribe) visit <a href="http://www.beowulf.org/mailman/listinfo/beowulf">http://www.beowulf.org/mailman/listinfo/beowulf</a></blockquote>
