I'm not aware of any confirmed success stories on other hardware platforms. If you get LIDS to work on another architecture, be sure to let everyone know of your efforts.
Update: Johannes Helje has successfully installed LIDS on a pair of SUN IPXs. He is using Debian with a 2.2.18 kernel.
Update: Joseph P. Garcia (jpgarcia AT execpc DOT com) has attempted to install LIDS on a PowerPC based Macintosh PowerBook G3 without much success. Here is an excerpt from his e-mail with the details of his problems:
I am currently pursuing trying out LIDS on my 30-month old powerpc-based
Macintosh PowerBook G3. ('oldworld' powermac for those who know what that
is) I use the BootX boot loader to boot Linux, loosely based on LinuxPPC
2000 Q4, using kernel 2.4.7pre3, glibc 2.2.3, and gcc 2.95.4.
My attempts to use LIDS on my system have yielded little results. With the
patch applied and LIDS disabled via config, the kernel works fine. With
LIDS enabled in any degree, even just CONFIG_LIDS and security=0, my kernel
does not boot. The normal routine is BootX cleans out MacOS, sets up
hardware (like harddrive spin down), the kernel clears the screen, shows
simple settings via 'BootX text', and begins booting with output on a
framebuffer console. With LIDS enabled, the kernel doesn't even clear the
screen. I looked at the code that does this, and to my best understanding,
it just writes memory. I can't tell just how far it gets.
As far as i know, lids should not be active until much later. So this
would either be caused by a fundamental code modification LIDS performs
that I do not understand, or a possible feature that prevents the kernel to
boot normally on my system.
I am unaware of any other efforts to run LIDS on powerpc at this time.
I am willing to lend my time when available to test theories and
modifications people may have to add support to LIDS for the
increasingly popular PowerPC architecure.
As it stands, after writing this, I think I will try disabling the BootX
text option and see what happens. Attached is my kernel config (bz2)
before this modification.
Thank you all for your time and consideration. |
Update: Joseph P. Garcia was able to get LIDS working on the PowerPC. He did this by reducing the maximum number of objects that LIDS will manage from 1024 to 512 in his kernel configuration.
