Yeah... it seems as though the LX is the un-4m... :) I've heard of people having audio working on the LX (with DBRI, same as the 10 and 20, but I don't hear a peep outa my SS10). A coworker also told me that X runs nicely in RH 6.0 on his LX, while it croaks within 5 minutes on my SS10. (I'm dual-booting RH and Debian.)
But yeah... it remains that 2.2.7 does not work on my machine. After SILO, maybe a line or two is printed out (I'm not near my machine at the moment), and the machine locks up hard (no Stop-A's to save me)... > Just as a reference for those interested, I am sucessfulyl running 2.2.7 > stock on an LX, so the problem is not with _all_ of the 4m machines, so > it would seem... > > > --Adam > > On Thu, 6 May 1999, Heikki Vatiainen wrote: > > > Samuel Tardieu <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > So, the question now is: has anyone be able to boot a SS10 using > > > kernel 2.2.7? > > > > I'm a newcomer to sparc-Debian but an old Debian user.
