resc1440.bin, drv1440.bin for 2.0.35 sparclinux resc1440-2.2.1.bin, drv1440-2.2.1.bin for alternate 2.2.1 sparclinux resc1440-2.2.1-sun4u.bin, drv1440-2.2.1-sun4u.bin for 2.2.1 ultralinux Could you fix slink_cd yourself then send back the patch to me? I don't have much time to spend on debian this weekend and my priority is to fix bugs related to 2.2 kernel support in bootdisks. BTW, I did a fresh install on a SparcClassic using a tftpboot image built with TILO & your 2.2.1 kernels. No major problems... if using a framebuffer. I just was unable to configure the device drivers (modconf exited immediately; I need to investigate...). The big problem I have is in serial console support. Since linux is using /dev/console now, I cannot detect in a trivial manner whether it is connected to a serial console or not. I need to find a way to discriminate between linux console & serial console... Thanks for your help. -- Eric Delaunay | "La guerre justifie l'existence des militaires.
