I tried that with no luck. BUT I was successful in passing an nfsroot= and ip= parameter to the kernel, and doing an nfsroot install.
I am having issues with XFree, and I am trying to work them out, but you help is much appreciated. If you have seen this video issue let me know. I am running X version 4.2.1.1 and the ati driver version 6.4.16. X starts up, but when it loads the top 2 inches of the screen seem to be streched to the right about a half inch. I have tried many different hsync, and vsync settings and different resolutions to no avail. Lemme know if this sounds familiar. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ben Collins" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Ryan Terry (MessEdUp)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: <debian-sparc@lists.debian.org> Sent: Friday, November 28, 2003 9:57 AM Subject: Re: Installing Linux on sunblade 150 > On Fri, Nov 28, 2003 at 07:32:27AM -0700, Ryan Terry (MessEdUp) wrote: > > I have made multiple attempts to install Linux on the SunBlade 150. I have tries multiple distros, and even a few versions of each distro. I seem to be getting the farthest with debian, but I'm still not even able to run the install. With the full sparc ISO image from debian I get the FAST DATA MRU Miss error. If I boot the sparc64 image I get better results. > > > > boot cdrom /boot/sparc64, will actually boot, but during the kernel load it fails after not finding a valid partition, and it tries an nfs boot. > > Do : > > boot cdrom /boot/sparc64 initrd=/dists/woody/main/disks-sparc/current/images-1.44/root.bin > > > -- > Debian - http://www.debian.org/ > Linux 1394 - http://www.linux1394.org/ > Subversion - http://subversion.tigris.org/ > WatchGuard - http://www.watchguard.com/ >
