Re: Reiserfs
It does not. They are working on it. There are alignment problems. You can get it to compile by putting the entry in errno.h but you'll get Bus errors when trying to us the utilities. Brian Macy Quoting Jim Crilly [EMAIL PROTECTED]: I have no idea if reiserfs runs on sparc or not, I know they're just now getting the Alpha port in working order. The error you're getting is related to a define that they have gotten into the errno.h for i386 but no other arches yet, at the bottom of include/asm/errno.h add an entry like: #define EHASHCOLLISION127 /* reiserfs hash collision */ and that should fix that error. Eventually when reiserfs is in the kernel (around 2.4.1) this should be taken care of. Jim I tried to compile a 2.2.18 with reiserfs-support. This happens: make[3]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.0/fs/reiserfs' gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux/include -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O2 \ -fomit-frame-pointer -fno-strict-aliasing -m32 -pipe -mno-fpu \ -fcall-used-g5 -fcall-used-g7-c -o namei.o namei.c In file included from namei.c:8: /usr/src/linux/include/linux/reiserfs_fs.h: In function `find_next_nonzero_bit': /usr/src/linux/include/linux/reiserfs_fs.h:2043: warning: implicit declaration of function `generic_ffs' namei.c: In function `reiserfs_add_entry': namei.c:474: `EHASHCOLLISION' undeclared (first use in this function) namei.c: In function `reiserfs_mkdir': namei.c:646: warning: comparison is always false due to limited range of data \ type Well, are there any reports whether reiserfs runs on Sparc/32bit at all?

(The information of the Netra X1 Server(from Sun's Web)) Introducing the Netra[tm] X1 Server Sun Server Quality at a Remarkably Low Price Recognizing the emerging need for a new breed of low-cost servers, Sun Microsystems, Inc. developed the Netra[tm] X1 server, the industry's lowest-priced UNIX(r)/RISC server ever, delivering Sun's renowned quality for under $1,000. ~ As the latest addition to the successful Netra line of robust servers, and storage and expansion solutions, the ultra-thin, rackmountable Netra X1 server extends Sun's compelling value proposition to a whole new market, bringing Sun's premier performance to mainstream computing. It gives enterprises and service providers an attractive entre into Sun's complete family of servers-from one to 64 processors all built around the premier Solaris[tm] Operating Environment and SPARC[tm] architecture. Only Sun offers this seamless growth path across its entire compute family - something no other computer vendor can match. Sun Delivers Premium, Low-Cost Computing With a starting price of $995, the Netra X1 server is extremely competitive when compared with other entry-level servers. It is an especially attractive proposition given the fact that the server comes complete with the Solaris Operating Environment and disk drive preinstalled along with remote management capabilities, making it ready for out-of-the-box use. World-Class Operating Environment: The Netra X1 server incorporates Sun's industrial-strength Solaris 8 Operating Environment, one of the most mature, widely respected operating systems in the industry. With over 12,000 applications, it is the operating system of choice in Fortune 1000 companies and for the Internet. Powerful 64-bit Computing: On the hardware side of the equation, the Netra X1 server is built around Sun's advanced UltraSPARC[tm] processor. In commercial use for over five years, the proven 64-bit UltraSPARC processor is one of the most fully developed processor families on the market, offering a clear roadmap for the future. Complete Compatibility: Unlike competitive products that bolt together third-party operating systems and hardware, the SPARC architecture and the Solaris Operating Environment were designed from the start to seamlessly work in tandem. This tight collaboration between the operating system and processor throughout the Sun portfolio has resulted in one of the industry's largest and most successful families of binary-compatible systems. Basis for a Wide Range of Applications Typical applications for Netra X1 servers can be partitioned into infrastructure and revenue services.

Re: Netra Linux
First, I would like to thank you all for the input, but I would like to know if Linux64 actually runs on at least a Netra T1 ( or better ), if someone who has access to such a server can test it. Because a lot of people have x86 servers running Linux that do not scale ( too many hits ), they wish to switch to a __REAL__ server, but they have a lot of scripts that are OS dependant and they do not have the time to learn another OS with its idiosyncrasies and modify their solution accordingly, nor they can afford to send the money without being sure that such a model runs Linux. This is very important to a lot of people and I would like to add a section about the Netra servers ( the old ones pose no problem ) in the SPARC-HOWTO.

The Netra X1 has a new CPU (UltraSPARC-IIi), a new PCI chipset for SPARC (ALi), and I beleive a new IDE controller (VIA?). Basically, have patience (or work on it). :)

Jean-Paul Blaquiere [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: modprobe parport_ax modprobe lp What kernel and arch is this ? hmmm as no one else has answered have you tried printing through the lpr daemon? Or tried insmod'ing parport first as well. The sparclinux has no such options, at least not in kernels above 2.2.13 (the first kernel I installed on a sparc 5). The parallel port support is called Sparc Bidirectional Parallel Port and the module to load is bpp. A successful insmod should give you bpp in /proc/ioports and /proc/devices. However, I gave up on the parallel printer because it turned out it wouldn't even do a self-test page :( So now I use a network printer and can't give a success story, sorry. Greetings, Ragga
