Re: Sarge on a Sparc5
That did it! So here is the beginning and end of the story. I booted with the netboot (sarge) cd. I received the following error and it stopped: Setting up filesystem please wait busybox[8]: Unimplemented SPARC system call 188 busybox[9]: Unimplemented SPARC system call 188 busybox[11]: Unimplemented SPARC system call 188 busybox[12]: Unimplemented SPARC system call 188 init[10]: Unimplemented SPARC system call 188 busybox[13]: Unimplemented SPARC system call 188 Thomas Poindessous wrote: Next I used the bottom information so at the kernel boot prompt rather than hit enter type the following: linux debian-installer/framebuffer=false The same error shows up but about 3 seconds later the install continues. I hit a bit of a bump in the road with the network card and dhcp & installing from FTP sites. It might be a problem with the new installer. Many thanks for all of the assistance!

If not what video card do you have in your machines? Yes, I noticed it does not work on serial :) I tried both Sparcstation 5 and Ultra Neterprise 2 on the console, using sbus cg6 framebuffer in both cases. Have not tried it on another sparc64 with ati mach64 graphics, will do if I get time. Can you test if without framebuffer to be sure that the problem is with framebuffer ? Thanks. Just netboot with this param "debian-installer/framebuffer=false" Thanks !

Re: Exim4 on Sparc?
James Morrison wrote: You can put unstable sources in your sources.list then use apt-get build-dep and debuild to build the exim4 package. Thanks. Your post prompted me to find http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/apt-howto.en.pdf and now I'm happily watching Exim4-daemon-heavy and supporting file download. Only downside is it looks like I'll have to reinstall libssl again to get decent speed back. I appreciate the pointer. -- Derek Zeanah www.wellbuiltnetworks.com 904.294.0355 (voice) 904.443.7701 (fax)
problem with bterm and frame-buffer ?
Hi, some d-i testers report a lot of problem with bterm and framebuffer with some video cards. Can you, dear Debian Sparc User :), test bterm from unstable and report success or error with your video card model ? Thanks a lot ! bterm is in bogl-bterm package. -- Thomas Poindessous
