forcing happy meal link mode
All; I'm having problems using DHCP with my cable modem. When I specify static IP settings the 'happy meal' ethernet adapter in my Ultra1 fails to auto-negotiate a link mode, then forces to 10Mbps and everything works fine after that. When I try 'dhcpcd' or 'pump' , though, this initial failure at auto-negotiation kills the daemon and my IP settings are not set. Thus I'm wondering how I can force the ethernet card's link mode before running a DHCP daemon . Looking in the 'ifconfig' man page and several Google searches have revealed nothing useful.

RE: Installing 2.2r4 on U5
Regarding my problem with autodetected on board NIC Happy Meal under 2.2.r4/Ultra 5, I used ethtool to change default speed to 10Mhz - full duplex and it stops hanguing (losing packets). I don't know why as all the other workstations are set 100/full. The only remaining problem is getting drivers to set an added NIC 3Com 3C905b TXNM.

Woody: installation on a Javastation
Hello, we are trying to install woody on a javastation (krups) via nfs but have run into several problems which we could not fix. We installed the root.tar-archive from ftp://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/dists/woody/main/disks-sparc/3.0.16-2001-10-27/ on a solaris nfs share with the options rw and no_root_squash. The kernel boots, the system starts just fine with the dbootstrap program, we can load a keymap, but it is not possible to mount a "previously-initialized partition". When we enter the path 194.xx.xx.xxx:/export/linux-fs into the dialog box, we get the error message: mount failed: too many levels of symbolic links. I tried to mount the partition on the second console with: > mount -t nfs 194.xx.xx.xxx:/export/linux-fs /target but there I get the error message: mount failed: invalid argument. I can ping the other machine, so the network should work. Maybe it is a problem with busybox 0.60pre? The changelog for busybox 0.60.1 states: * Manuel Novoa III -- rewrite of simplify_path so it behaves itself (fixing some problems with mount and other applets). We tried the kernel 2.3.99pre2 (from the javastation how-to). The kernel log has two entries: init[1]: Unimplemented SPARC system call 155 sh[6]: Unimplemented SPARC system call 155 However, I can use a shell and the dbootstrap program seems to work right. So far I could not compile a newer kernel version. The pre-compiled 2.4.2 version that is also mentioned in the javastation-howto messed up the solaris dhcp server and had problems communicating with the nfs server. Any help is greatly appreciated. bye lars.
RE: Installing 2.2r4 on U5
Hi David, I continued working and removed the SCSI-PCI board which I discovered also had an ether port that might be conflicting. The duplicated MAC disappeared, but eth0 is still not working fine. It hangs on executing an "ls" over an ftp connection for example. The outputs you requested are: #cat /proc/openprom/banner-name 'Sun Ultra 5/10 UPA/PCI (UltraSPARC-IIi 360MHz)' # lspci (on board one) 01:01.1 Ethernet controller: Sun Microsystems Computer Corp.

Keeping the NIC questions, I solved the CDROM issue.

Installing 2.2r4 on U5
Hi everybody, This is my first try to port my web environment with Debian over Intel to Sparc platform. I would really aprecciate some help as I couldn't find in the official documentation a way to work around some problems after installation. I am using release 2.2r4 over UltraSparc 5 (cd image downloaded from linuxiso.org). The problems: 1- NIC * Nic on board (3c59x I guess) gets autodetected twice (eth0 and eth1 with the same MAC address) as "Happy Meal" which I think is not the correct one. As eth1 it is not working fine , maybe a ping works but not an ftp. As eth0 it doesn't work at all. * I've tried to install another nic 3Com 3c905b TXNM to face the Intranet, but I couldnt find suitable drivers for it 2 - CDROM - IDE Although I could boot and install the base system, the cdrom device seems to be unrecognized as it doesn't appear in /dev/ to mount it. Thanks very much in advance for your help, Adrian Caneva

It modifies three source files: ffb.h ffb_driver.c ffb_dac.c and applies to the CVS version 4.1.99.1, of about November 1. However the three files involved are dated 2001/05/04, and I haven't seen anything else posted which would indicate conflicting changes to the driver.

Mesa work on a SS2 ??
This may be wishfull thinking, but will Mesa(OpenGL substitute) work on a SS2 given that it uses the Xsun server?
