Can i run solaris binaries under Debian Linux/SPARC ?
Sorry, if this is a FAQ, but can i run Solaris binaries under Debian Linux/SPARC, provided that i got the needed Solaris libraries and licenses ?

You can use the solaris emulation (compiled as a module, so be sure to load it), but it isn't perfect. I've messed with it simply chrooting to a Solaris mounted partition (using the ufs module, but you can copy it to a local Linux partition too) and running things like the shell and it's commands.

Ben I have been browsing a bit and found out that the Solaris emulation seems to exist only for the Sparc64 architecture. When I do a make xconfig on my SS20 (Sun4m) i am only offered SunOS emulation. Is this true?

I think sparc doesn't have the infrastructure for syscall transaltion, so it isn't as easy to integrate (i think). -- ---===-=-==-=---==-=-- / Ben Collins -- ...on that fantastic voyage... -- Debian GNU/Linux \ ` [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] ' `---=--===-=-=-=-===-==---=--=---'
bug in the filerunner package for sparc-debian
Hi, There is a small bug in the debian package filerunner 2.5.1-1 for the sparc architecture: the file /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/filerunner/ext.so must have world-wide read permission since otherwise fillerunner canot load this library when started by a non root user (actualy it has rwx permission only for root). This buf dosn't appears in the intel version: the corresponding file has world-wide read and execute permission (the execute permission shouldn't be necessary since the file is a share library). -- PHAM Dinh Tuan | e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Laboratoire de Modelisation et Calcul | Tel: +33 4 76 51 44 23 BP 53, 38041 Grenoble cedex 9 (France) | Fax: +33 4 76 63 12 63 ---

Re: SMP SS10 freezes hard intermittently
Hello, all- I apologize for taking so long to respond. I'm (hopefully) not nearly the ungrateful bastard I seem to be...

It locks up hard periodically, and won't respond to stop-A, a break on the serial port, the three-fingered salute, or, in fact, anything short of a power-cycle. When I was fixing sparc32 SMP in 2.2, I only had access to one cpu and machine type (viking supersparc on 4m/690).

Does that mean I should rush out and grab myself some 2.4.0-test2 sources and try them out, or have your changes not been incorporated yet? Also, if it's possible to describe generally, what sort of problems exist with the Sparc32 SMP code in 2.2? Thanks (belatedly)- David

What CPU modules do you have in there? Is this machine stable under Solaris (any version)? Any other SBUS cards in there? What about sound, is DBRI compiled in, and does it work? (DBRI is EXTREMELY flaky on my SS20). Hopefully somebody else will have more guesses, I only have 1 situation where I can crash Linux/X, and that's about 100% reliable of a crash. :-( I just don't do that.

The existing OS on the disks was SunOS 4.something, which was not amused to find a second CPU. As I expect you saw, Anton Blanchard suspects that this sort of unpleasantness is to be expected from a 2.2 kernel, so I'll either just be patient, or continue shotgun debugging. Thanks- David
Re: New set of boot-floppies to test
Hello- I tried the sun4cdm tftpboot image and boot floppies on an IPC (ROM version 2.6 w/24 MB of memory), but couldn't get either of them to work. I Also tried the disks/image from the current (2.2.15-2000-06-10) sun4cdm tree on ftp.debian.org, which gave me the same errors: With the tftpboot image, I managed to pull the image across, but then immediately got: Data Access Exception ok With the floppies, It fails immediately: Can't read disk label Can't open Sun disk label package Can't open boot device ok The bit with the floopies sounds like it's something fairly fundamental with the machine, rather than a problem with the disks, but I was wondering if anyone had managed to get an IPC to boot over the net.
