Base System Installation Checklist: [O] = OK, [E] = Error (please elaborate below), [ ] = didn't try it Initial boot: [O] Detect network card: [O] Configure network: [O] Detect CD: [O] Load installer modules: [O] Detect hard drives: [O] Partition hard drives: [O] Install base system: [O] Clock/timezone setup: [O] User/password setup: [O] Install tasks: [O] Install boot loader: [O] Overall install: [E] Comments/Problems: Now that http://bugs.debian.org/562594 is fixed, I was able to continue the installation and it all went fine until the end. However, after finishing the installation machine fails to boot with messages: SUNW,Sun-Blade-1000 (2 X UltraSPARC-III) , No Keyboard Copyright 1998-2004 Sun Microsystems, Inc. All rights reserved. OpenBoot 4.16.4, 2048 MB memory installed, Serial #51831895. Ethernet address 0:3:ba:16:e4:57, Host ID: 8316e457. Rebooting with command: boot Boot device: disk File and args: ERROR: Last Trap: Fast Data Access MMU Miss Error -256 {0} ok I thought it was some kind of random hardware quirk, so I tried reinstalling a few times, but always got the same result, even if I was zero-filling the first 200M of the hard drive before partitioning. I then tried Lenny netinst CD (debian-503-sparc-netinst.iso), and it worked without problems, so it must be some regression in the recent CD images. At this point I have no clue what might be causing it, as both Lenny and the current CD builds install the same SILO version and partitions are set up identically (~100MB ext2 /boot partition is set up to hold the boot files in both cases). I'm going to ask on debian-sparc whether anyone can reproduce it. Another minor detail: serial console output in daily builds is black-and-white, while Lenny installer was showing up in color (at least, red/blue where appropriate). -- Jurij Smakov ju...@wooyd.org Key: http://www.wooyd.org/pgpkey/ KeyID: C99E03CC -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
