Yah. Say, I'm working on a little HOWTO and hopefully an automated build script for cross-compiling kernels. I go Intel->Sparc. I'll make another post when I get the basic instructions complete.

Thanks for your answer but where can I find the package xserver-xsun ? I had a look in the debian ftp site and I can't find it... Is there a special URL or ftp site ?

Yes, I had this toodo this: mv vmlinuz vmlinux-elf.gz gzip -d vmlinux-elf.gz elf2out -o vmlinux vmlinux-elf Then use vmlinux to boot from..

I have xserver-xfree86 version 4.0.1-5 installed. I think it would be easier for you to install xserver-xsun and xserver-common rather than run the new xfree86 4, wait until that becomes stable in woody. > > I don't find any xsun in the Contents-sparc file. > > How can I run a Xserver ? > When you install xserver-xsun and the script asks if you want this to be your default server answer Y. Then reboot and all will be well. Best Regards, Peter Firmstone.

Hmm, Sounds like your from intel land, sun computers can net boot from their boot prom, you don't need to compile the sunlance driver seperately it should be in the standard kernel once you boot it. Also you won't be able to run intel compiled binaries unless you use a cross compiler. Get onto the www.ultralinux.org web site and look at the frequently ask questions. Regards, Peter Firmstone.
accessing consoles
on my ultra1 i cant access my consoles, i think they are running because when i do 'ps aux |grep tty' root 223 0.0 0.0 1216 0 tty1 SW Sep15 0:00 [getty]root 224 0.0 0.0 1216 0 tty2 SW Sep15 0:00 [getty]root 225 0.0 0.0 1216 0 tty3 SW Sep15 0:00 [getty]root 226 0.0 0.0 1216 0 tty4 SW Sep15 0:00 [getty]root 227 0.0 0.0 1216 0 tty5 SW Sep15 0:00 [getty]root 228 0.0 0.0 1216 0 tty6 SW Sep15 0:00 [getty] but when i try to change into a console with for example than it just doesnt work ? any ideas ? thanks in advance bruno
apt-get upgrade / esound problem (bug?)
on my ultra1 i just did a apt-get upgrade it was a huge upgrade because i hadnt run it in some weeks, also packages 'esound' and 'ssh' got upgraded but esound has put a line into /etc/hosts.allow with 'esound: 127.0.0.1' but it didnt put it on a new line but right after the line that was already there 'ALL:192.168.0.' and when i wanted to ssh to my box i didnt got in, until i put that 'esound: 127.0.0.1' on a new line, ... i dont know if this is worth filing a bug, but it sure kept me looking for what was wrong with ssh. bruno

What? Hey, it's a Sun, you don't need no steenkin' network rom to burn ;-] Just type boot net at the OK prompt and it should work. And read the installation manual, that's what it is there for.
