But on some hardware (SunBlade 100 for example) you need it even if you have only one card, because the ATI framebuffer code the kernel locks up hard. I see no prompt so as I can pass parameters such as expert When booting from hard disc or CD-ROM parameters are passed at the SILO boot: prompt, which you get AFTER you have done boot disk or boot cdrom at the OpenBoot prompt. I have never net-booted, but it looks from the instructions as if SILO isn't involved. So I don't know how you would get the boot parameters passed to the kernel. Anyone else know?

We do have a br for the same problem (one ati card and no output after Booting Linux) also on a Sun Blade 150. See #403364. So, the problem is reproducible on Blade 100/150 with a single (ati) video card, and booting with video=atyfb:off is the workaround. On my Blade 2000, with an ati and a creator 3d, the problem is not reproducible. The order in /proc/fb is wrong, so the kernel output is not sent to the screen you would expect, but that's already documented. ciao, ema -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Re: Bug#403364: SunBlade 150 problems - can anyone confirm?

Maybe this is useful to the next guy installing Etch (or some other post-2.6.16 kernel) on a Blade 150 (or 100). Can you confirm that with a 2.6.16 kernel the problem is not reproducible? Does the machine completely fail to boot if you don't pass video=atyfb:off to the kernel? (ie: are you able to login somehow, for instance via ssh?).
