Re: Stable Kernel?
Second thoughts, a list of the packages that I'll need to backport would be nice, unless it's already elsewhere in the archives, in which case I'll hunt them down.

I was wondering what people thought of the stability / performance of the 2.4.x series on a production Potato server? What type of system? If it's a sparc32 (sun4m, sun4c, ...), then stick with 2.2.x, because 2.4.x just wont run well right now. If you're talking about an UltraSPARC, I say go for the latest 2.4.x (2.4.7 right now), as it is much more stable, especially on high end systems. HOWEVER, you will need to upgrade some packages on potato to work with 2.4.x. One main thing is modutils (you can recompile the package if you want, and I can give you quick instructions for rebuilding the package on potato). There may be others. -- Cheers, Craige. pgpx1YWdTdpC3.pgp Description: PGP signature
Re: Stable Kernel?
Mandi! Craige McWhirter In chel di` si favelave... Second thoughts, a list of the packages that I'll need to backport would be nice, unless it's already elsewhere in the archives, in which case I'll hunt them down. http://www.fs.tum.de/~bunk/kernel-24.html Adrian Bunk mantain a list of package for i386, and i recompile (on a SS10) them. I've no recompiled pcmcia nor isdn because compilation fail: i think because i'm not using nor pcmcia nor isdn on my sparc, and clearly i'm stuck with 2.2.19 because 2.4.X wont compile or wont boot. -- dott. ing.

Any advice or pointers would be much appreciated--else I will need to go back with Solaris 8 (I much prefer GNU/Linux). first off, make sure you have tftpd and rarp on in your server machine (inetd on some distros, xinetd on others). then, you will need to have the mac address of the blade correspond to the ip address you want to give it in your /etc/ethers the blade will get the ip address based off its mac address and then request a file from the server based off its IP address in HEX. this file should be in your configured tftpboot folder. so, if my IP address is 10.2.4.194, the file the blade will request on my setup is /tftpboot/0A0204C2 which I have as a symlink to tftpboot.img from ben collins current directory. at the ok prompt, you would type: ok boot net:10.2.4.191 where 10.2.4.191 is the IP address of the rarp/tftpboot server. email if this does not work for you... -tduffy

I tried to use the tftpboot.img from Ben Collins current directory but am having some ARP/RARP and/or TFTP problems. What problems did you run into? Did you read the section in the installation manual about setting up a TFTP server and netbooting? It's a little bit tedious to get set up at first, but once you've done it it's pretty straightforward.
Re: Is it possible?
Jan-Hendrik Palic [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: I have a question and an error of installing debian-sparc on Sun-IPC. To install I used the official debian-sparc-cd's and the installation went fine (for me, because I did not have any experience on sparc anymore up to thursday this week :) ). But when I come the point to configure my modules, I can't do that. Laoding any module of the menus gives me an unresolved symbol and permission denied and the mesage, that these are modules from kernel 2.2.19. I find that hard to believe. That would be a serious bug. Unresolved kernel modules would be a bug in the kernel-image-2.2.19-sun4dm (or whatever) package. However, we're really only working on testing (woody) now. I wondered and reboot the machine to beginn to install once more and I saw on the greetingsscreen of the installer, I was told, that kernel 2.2.15 is booted. That's bizarre. My question is, is it true, is the bootkernel from the disk 2.2.15 and the modules from 2.2.19 or is it an mistake of the greetingstext? The next one is, that I have unresolved symbols when I have a clearly installed debian-sparc and tried depmod -a at five modules. :( I do have only the sparc but no cd-rom, it's was borrowed from a friend, so can't do fuerther test, I think, or they will take a while. there are other ways to install -- floppy, tftp, etc. -- .Adam Di [EMAIL PROTECTED]URL:http://www.onshored.com/
