Hi Claas, Welcome to the Debian SPARC mailing list! I think LDOMs are poorly supported by Debian and perhaps Linux in general. If you search "debian sparc ldom" in Google, there are a hits about various problems, but one statement [1] in particular sums up what I thought: "current state of linux in LDOMs currently is unusable." I'm actually surprised that you managed to get it installed at all. That's cool.
I'm not 100% sure where you should raise a bug, but Linux sparc kernel mailing list might be a better place for a driver issue. As a different question, if you have Solaris installed into an LDOM, does it report the correct size for the same disk? That is -- is there a problem with the LDOM software and ISO images, or is there a problem with the Linux driver -- being certain of that would also be really helpful for the kernel developers.
