It is an interesting support model where the kernel engineers don't have the hardware, and then people expect the thing to work and for it to also be regression tested against future changes over time. Because of how rediculious that expectation is, I don't lose any sleep at night when I discover that machines I don't have in my personal possesion aren't supported properly. Sun or the OEM's have to pony up with loaner systems if they really expect this stuff to work. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Re: Debian on SunBlade 2500
We are a Sun OEM that put the 2500 mainboard into rack chassis- Do you or Ben C. have a specific tftp image that has most of the drivers bundled in (i.e. a full initrd image). We would like to help but I am not sure about loaning hardware.. I personally have run Woody on the Sun AXmp with no problem. David S.

Debian on SunBlade 2500
Hello I'm new to sparc architecture, Is there a way to install Debian on a SunBlade 2500 Workstation (UltraSparc IIIi)? docs an how-tos don't make mention to this hardware in particular (cause it's very new?). I've tried to install from CD, also via tftp, in both cases it crashes when loading the kernel/initrd with diferent error mesages about memory mapping (i'll post those messages later, im at home now). I'm looking for a "starting point", url, or magic recipe ;) thank you and sorry my english -- Ivan Stepaniuk -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
