Mark,

How did you get it working on an intel Xserve? And which model of xserve if you don’t mind? 1.1, 2.1 or 3.1 ?

Thanks.

I have it working on the more recent Xserves (with usb in the front) but not the original 2.00 GHz version (with firewire).

If anyone knows how to get the older intel Xserves to work please hop onto freenode.net #maclinux and let me know.

Did you use the x86_64 version of eLILO on your USB stick?

Anyone get anywhere with making a MacIntel Xserve boot from a Linux distro? 64bit?

Thanks!

I hope it works. I have a couple of failing G5 Xserve boxes, a couple of replacement Intel Xserve boxes that were purchased before I got here and I really hate os x.

I’ve not tried recently. I may have a look tomorrow.

It looks like the patched made it into mainline as of 2.6.24. Have you had any luck since then?
