woody on SS1 hangs
Hi! As you might remember, I managed to upgrade to Woody on my SS1 last week. Still using the 2.2.19 kernel-image which worked quite fine until now. Now the box always hangs after ~ 30 hours. No console output, no console access, most of the time not even a break works (although when it works it doesn't help either except for issuing a reset). There are no log entries, no console output, nothing. Any idea how I could debug this? cheers+TIA, rw -- -- Contrary to popular belief, Unix *is* user-friendly. -- It's just not ignorant- and idiot-friendly. signature.ng Description: PGP signature
Re: booting on a sunblade 100
Hi, i'm booting on a sunblade 100, and there is an error that i dont uderstand it says fast data access MMU Miss I had the same error when I tried to install Woody on my Blade 100. This seems to by an OpenBoot bug. So just update the PROM to the latest version and everything should work fine. You can find the update here : http://sunsolve.sun.com/pub-cgi/retrieve.pl? patchid=79collection=fpatchesmode=results Note that I was not able to update the PROM with the update file on an ext2 partition. It worked only when I reinstalled Solaris :-( and put the file on an UFS partition. If you have other questions about installing Woody on a Sun Blade 100, just ask on the mailing list. I should be able to answer to some of them, as I managed to install it myself (but it was not painless ;-) Regards, Olivier Hochreutiner EPFL, SSC P.S. : Sorry for my English ... - This mail sent through IMP: http://horde.org/imp/
Printer for SS2
Does anyone have any suggestions about what printer I could attach to an SS2? Obviously laser is preferable, but most important is easy installation under Debian-sparc. Thanks - Brennan
X on Sparc20 (Woody)
Hi, I don't know where to look further. I've searched the mailing lists but everything I try fails. I hope somebody can help me here. I've made a fresh installation of Woody on a Sparc20. But I can't get X started, it always ends with the following error: (II) Loading extension XIE (II) LoadModule: sunbw2 (II) Loading /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/sunbw2_drv.o (II) Module sunbw2: vendor=The XFree86 Project compiled for 4.1.0.1, module version = 1.0.0 Module class: XFree86 Video Driver ABI class: XFree86 Video Driver, version 0.4 (II) LoadModule: mouse (II) Loading /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/input/mouse_drv.o (II) Module mouse: vendor=The XFree86 Project compiled for 4.1.0.1, module version = 1.0.0 Module class: XFree86 XInput Driver ABI class: XFree86 XInput driver, version 0.2 (II) SUNBW2: driver for BWtwo (EE) No devices detected. Fatal server error: no screens found (I can provide the complete log and the config file in case needed) It worked on potato and I don't know what the problem now might be. Thanks in advance, Tom.
Compiling 2.4.18 kernel for U1
Hi Having had problems installing Woody on my U1 (possibly due to unnecessary drivers compiled into the kernel) I have been trying to compile a more stripped down version (minus PCI, IDE, etc). I am running a fairly minimal install of Potato while I'm trying to do this. The compile fails with: in function 'emulate_raw' undefined reference to 'handle_scancode' in function 'keybdev_init' undefined reference to 'kbd_ledfunc' I found a reference on another list that suggested it could be a USB issue, but all the USB options in menuconfig seem to be inactive. I am new to kernel compiling, but I am reasonably sure I have set everything up properly; kernel-package and so on. ...appreciate any advice -Stu
Re: Printer for SS2
Practically, any laser printer works fine with cupsys under Debian GNU/Linux. Look at www.cups.org in order to see if there are laser printers not workable. I have a HP LaserJet 2100 and it is working fine using the cupsys drivers. Also look at Debian Packages to see the cupsys packages you'll need to download.

Obviously laser is preferable, but most important is easy installation under Debian-sparc. Most printers with ethernet or serial interfaces should work. Minolta/QMS use oddball drivers on their ethernet printers that may cause some problems. As always, Win devices are a loose, but generally would have parrallel interfaces anyway. The SS2 serial port maxes out at 19200 baud. For a cheap printer, see if you can find a Laserjet 3 with jetdirect card or a Laserjet 4M on the used market. The 2100TN is a more recent replacement. SBUS parrallel port cards do exist, but probably arn't worth the effort. -- Blars Blarson [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.blars.org/blars.html Text is a way we cheat time. -- Patrick Nielsen Hayden
