New thread -> X1 fun stuff

2001-08-29 Thread Richard Mortimer
That looks similar to the errors that I first got when the csr0 values
were set wrongly. I wonder if a chip register is not getting setup
correctly in certain circumstances. The main thing that I did with
this was to have a look at the chip registers and looked at what was
different between working and non-working versions.

Can you get the following information from situations where the system
is working and not-working. You need to drop into OBP and then use
these commands to dump the hardware registers for the device that is
not working (I think that it was eth1 in your case).

eth1

1fe.0201 100 piodump 
1fe.01006000 100 piodump 

eth0

1fe.02010100 100 piodump 
1fe.01002800 100 piodump 

The first command dumps the chip registers and the second command
dumps the devices pci configuration space. 

I'm not convinced that this is exactly what I saw because I didn't get
the SABRE0: messages I just got the "System Error occured (2)" message
but it might give a clue to what is wrong.

errror in gcc-3.0-sparc64_1%3a3.0.2-0pre010826_sparc.deb

2001-08-29 Thread Pierfrancesco Caci

Hello,
today I'm trying to update an ultra10 (last update was performed on June
19) and I get an error when it comes the turn of gcc-3.0

I've tried with --force-overwrite but it gives the same error, that
is shown here:

SUN Disklabels are required (you can read the debian sparc install
manual...), but also i (with a ss10, sun disklables both of the two
disks) i've had to mess up with prom to make boot.

I've to do:

boot disk1

instead of the default ``boot disk'' (or boot).

Do a network install, all you'll need is rarp, tftp and ftp/http on another

New thread -> X1 fun stuff

2001-08-29 Thread Adam McKenna
So, I finally managed to get Debian installed on my Netra X1, I now have a
repeatable problem (well, repeatable in the sense that it happens every other
boot.)  I figured I'd start a new thread, and trim the headers, since I
figure most of the people who were included in the last thread are on one of
these two lists.

For the boot log, please see http://spotted.flounder.net/~adam/boot-log.txt

It seems to happen exactly every other boot.  I've rebooted about 8 times now
and it always boots fine the second time (after crashing.)
