utility for mapping oopsen to symbols in SPARC?

2000-02-29 Thread Stephen Zander

I keep hearing about koops (?) on the sparclinux list but can't seem
to find it.  Am I delusional, a poor speller, or something else
entirely?

As I can now comfortably reproduce my hme failure, I'd like to track
down what exactly is getting trashed.

IMPORTANT: [boot-floppies] Path name changes

2000-02-29 Thread Randolph Chung
[Crossposted to arch-specific mailing lists FYI. Please followup to
[EMAIL PROTECTED]

I have checked in, and karlheg is working on additional, changes that will
change the release directory structure. This is in response to #58655, and
problems with kernel version related image naming problems.

There are two changes. The first is to change all disks-{1.20,1.44,2.88}
paths to images-{1.20,1.44,2.88}. This is for mirroring purposes. See above
bug report.

The second is to use kernel versions in the path, instead of tagging them to
the end of image names. Thus, we will have paths like this:

debian/dists/potato/main/disks-${arch}/current/images-${size}/${kernelversion}[/${flavor_or_subarch}]/rescue.bin

instead of

debian/dists/potato/main/disks-${arch}/current/images-${size}/[${flavor}/]rescue-${kernelversion}[-${flavor}].bin

we've discussed this a bit on irc, i realize these are fairly drastic
changes, but we think they are necessary for potato boot disks to work right.

I've filed a release-critical bug against debian-cd as it will be affect by
these changes. If you know of other packages that may be affected, please
change/file RC bugs against them.

I've crossposted this to all port-related mailing lists because I want to
make sure these changes are ok with all non-i386 architectures (what we've
tested these on so far). In particular, this needs to deal with subarchs as
well.

You are probably looking for ksymoops. I usually run:

ksymoops -VOLK -m System.map  oops

Re: SS5/170 hanging with 2.2.14 kernel

2000-02-29 Thread Romain Dolbeau
 I get no opps, but the machine will not respond to anything including
 Stop-A.  Did anything significant change between .13  .14 for
 sparc32?  Is there anything I should enable to help provide kernel
 dumps?

Not responding to Stop-A is unusual. But there's an easy way on
the SS5/170 : the TurboSPARC chip is buggy, and there's a code
sequence that lock up the CPU... and gcc _can_ generate
thay code sequence ! It happens on Solaris, anyway...

try compiling:

#
int
main(int argc, char** argv)
{
 white(1)
 ;
}
#

use gcc -O1 (or -O2, can't remember), and lockup your SS5/170... :-(

_maybe_ that's what you are seeing, if it happens only on the 5/170.

Want some info on what SparcServer1000 is

2000-02-29 Thread Junichi Uekawa

Hi,

I have been building a cluster with lots of machines mixed together, 
almost just for fun, and been installing Slink on 
SparcStation 5/10/20 SparcIPX SparcClassic via RARP/TFTP/nfs.

However, I have 3 machines which claim to be SparcServer1000 (and big).
They don't seem to want to boot on SUN4M or SUN4C.
Does anyone have any clue as to what these are and what they want
(for the boot image)?

I tore it apart, and I think they have SuperSparc. It *seems* as if it is
dual SuperSparc SMP, and has 4 500Mb drive. 
It's a shame to trash this machine. 

Anyone?

From the hardware guide:
SPARCserver 1000
Processor(s):   Mbus modules
Motherboard:501-2336 (2338?)
Bus:XDBus; SBus @ 20MHz, 3 slots/motheboard;
Mbus, 2 slots/motherboard
Memory: 2G physical, 1M off-chip cache
Architecture:   sun4d
Notes:  Single XDBus design with curious L-shaped
motherboards. Three SBus slots, onboard FSBE,
512M, two CPU modules per motherboard. Four
motherboards total, or a disk tray with four
535M 1 high 3.5 disks (1G disks supported
recently). Code name Scorpion. 135 MIPS. First
supported in Solaris 2.2 (SunOS 5.2).

model  MHz  SPECint92 SPECfp92 SPECint  SPECfp
-  ---  -  -Rate92--Rate92-
1102   50x2 2730 3681
1104   50x4 5318 7076
1108   50x81011312710

So, try sun4d.

Browser for sparc/linux...

2000-02-29 Thread Cristian Constantin
hello!

is netscape available for such a configuration? I mean native linux
binaries...

or I should emulate some solaris(a.k.a slowaris) ones?...

do I have resonable choices instead of netscape?

bye!

You can use mozilla. Or you can download the netscape sources from slink,
which contain the sparc-linux bins. Netscape removed this a long time ago
from their ftp (no idea why).

apt-get -b source netscape # assuming you have slink deb-src lines in 
sources.list
