I started compiling my own sparc kernels when I started using FAI (Fully Automatic Install) because the standard kernels do not include the IP-AutoConf and NFS-Root features that netbooting with FAI requires. The kernel package I linked to (poorly..) in the previous message was built as a post install "Production" kernel. Now that you mention it, I suppose the standard kernel would work well here too. Once I started building my own kernels I basically forgot about the stock ones. There is also something very cool and empowering about using make-kpkg!

sparc32 2.4.20-pre10 kernel debs
It's that time of the night again. I've just built and posted 2.4.20-pre10 kernel debs for sparc32 (sun4cdm although sun4d probably doesn't work) at http://osinvestor.com/sparc/ . I'm using the UP image on my own sun4m systems but I can't make any guarantees for other people's hardware. Comments, criticsm, and suggestions always welcomed. Regards, Rob Radez

cdrom boot reading problem
Thank you much for your detailed answer, Tim! The more I tried, I think I do have a hardware problem. When I'm in the stop-a -> ok prompt, I used boot cd and it goes fetches inside the cdrom and it complains about: bad magic number in disk label can't open disk label package can't open boot device I called the disk zoot-sparc.iso , do I need to use all numbers to label the disk instead? Don't know if you have the answer to that. When I used probe-scsi-all it gives the hard drives targets 0 and 3 as DEC and Seagate and then target 6 being the portable cd device it recognized as SONY.

However, what I got was the same as the Aug 19 image, then it spun the / cursor for maybe half a second -- and then reset the system entirely. Tried it three times; same effect each time. I had actually seen this happen one time with the Aug 19 image but it wasn't reproducible so I considered it a fluke at the time (earlier, but after I sent my previous mail). For what it's worth, and I don't recall if I mentioned this, I have in fact installed Solaris 8 and booted it without incident on this system (I had to to update the firmware) which proves nothing except that it's not so broken that it can't boot anything ever. :) -R

Ben Collins' tftpboot.img and SunFire V880
Obligatory disclaimer: I just joined this list. I should've ages ago,
but naturally, I didn't until I had a problem. I'll try not to be
stupid, and I have read the archives of the last few months. :)
I have a brand new SunFire V880 server, two 900MHz processors, 4G RAM,
6 72G HDs, and so on. I am trying to boot the Debian install image via
TFTP (as I have done with such machines as Ultra 10 and SunBlade 100
with good success). After quite a bit of struggle, I finally found Ben
Collins' post of Aug 19 about the UltraSparcIII+ files available at
http://auric.debian.org/~bcollins/disks-sparc/current/ and was quite
happy, except when booting it, I then got: Instruction Access Error
Bummer.
Here's my setup (with unnecessary details because better more than
too few). An Enterprise 3000 is running tftpd against the directory
/tftpboot. Here's the relevant bit of layout:
/tftpboot/:
8B4E71B4@ (soft link to debian/sun4u-3plus-boot-img)
debian/:
sun4u-3plus-boot-img (tftpboot.img from the_above_URL/sun4u, dated
Oct 5)
Obviously there's more, but that's the relevant bits. The SunFire V880
is, of course, 139.78.113.180. I boot it with "boot net" and I see:
Rebooting with command: boot net
Boot device: /[EMAIL PROTECTED],70/[EMAIL PROTECTED],1 File and args:
(number runs up for a while, then)
489800 Instruction Access Error
{2} ok
On a whim, I tried the Aug 19 tftpboot.img instead. Same effect; I saw:
Rebooting with command: boot net
Boot device: /[EMAIL PROTECTED],70/[EMAIL PROTECTED],1 File and args:
(number runs)
256400 TILO
Selecting sun4u kernel...
Instruction Access Error
{2} ok
Anyone have any advice here? Am I totally looking in the wrong
direction?
I should also note that I've already updated the firmware to current
(or, well, to 4.6.7, anyway, which I gathered was current).
Thanks for anything at all, including just reading,

Questo Sistema è diverso da tutti gli altri, quindi se non ti fidi leggi con attenzione le istruzioni per valutarlo, e quando le avrai comprese ti assicuro che sarà per te IRRESISTIBILE la voglia di partecipare. QUESTO E`SENZA DUBBIO IL GIORNO PIU' FORTUNATO DELLA TUA VITA !! IMMAGINA A COSA POTRESTI FARE CON 1.5 - 2 MILIARDI DI LIRE... SEI UNO DEI PRIMI FORTUNATI ITALIANI A RICEVERE QUESTA FAMOSA MLM E- MAIL, DELLA QUALE TUTTI STANNO PARLANDO, E DELLA QUALE LA TELEVISIONE E TUTTI I GIORNALI ITALIANI HANNO DEDICATO AMPIO SPAZIO NELLE SCORSE SETTIMANE !!! 1.5 - 2 MILIARDI DI LIRE IN SOLE 6 SETTIMANE !!! GARANTITO !!! FINALMENTE TRADOTTA ANCHE IN ITALIANO, PER IL TUO SUCCESSO !!! UN SISTEMA CHE ANNULLA COMPLETAMENTE TOTOCALCIO, TOTOGOL, LOTTO, ENALOTTO E LOTTERIE VARIE !!! BASTA GIOCARE E SPRECARE SOLDI INUTILMENTE !!! COMINCIA A VINCERE UNA VOLTA PER TUTTE 1.5 - 2 MILIARDI DI LIRE OGNI 6 SETTIMANE FINO A QUANDO SARAI STUFO DI TUTTI QUEI SOLDI Proprio cosi` !!! Si, basta preoccuparsi del lavoro, del quale non se ne puo` piu`, dei soldi, che non sono mai abbastanza, di quella vacanza che VORRESTI ma e sempre più lontana!!! GRAZIE A QUESTA E-MAIL RICEVERAI 1.5 - 2 MILIARDI DI LIRE OGNI 6 SETTIMANE !!! ASSICURATO !!! Quindi il mio consiglio e` quello di cominciare A TIRARE FUORI I SOGNI DAL CASSETTO !!! Immagina per un attimo cosa potresti fare, ad esempio potresti ordinare la nuova, fiammante, Lamborghini Murcielago che ti meriti, oppure recati alla banca e pagare una volta per tutte quel mutuo sulla casa o appartamento !!! Oppure potresti prenderti un paio di mesi di vacanza o crociera in uno di quei posti esotici dei quali hai sempre sognato, poi ritornato a casa decidere cosa fare con piu` di un miliardo ancora a disposizione !!! Alle volte la realtà può sembrare un sogno ma come sai CON I SOGNI NON SI RISOLVE NULLA !!! Questa e` PURA REALTA` e succedera` anche a te nelle prossime 6 settimane, grazie all'incredibile sistema MLM americano !!! 6 SOLE SETTIMANE: questo e` quanto ci vuole per accumulare un minimo di $750.000 DOLLARI AMERICANI, PARI A UN MILIARDO E MEZZO DI LIRE ITALIANE, ED ENTRARE NEL CLUB DEI NUOVI MILIARDARI DEL QUALE HAI SENTITO PARLARE ULTIMAMENTE ALLA TV !!! Hai perso I servizi speciali in onda su Raitre, Canale5 e altre emittenti televisive locali riguardo questo incredibile sistema americano ??? Non importa, perche` questa e` la famosa e-mail dei quali tutti parlano sulle reti televisive di tutto il mondo, non solo italiane. Dovuto alla ormai crescente popolarita` di questa e-mail su Internet, alcune emittenti televisive italiane hanno dedicato ultimamente degli speciali sul come e` possibile guadagnare 1.5 - 2 miliardi di lire in 6 settimane, e per di piu` garantito. " Come e` possibile garantire una vincita del genere, insomma, qui si parla di un sacco di quattrini !!!", e` stato il commento di quasi tutti i conduttori dei vari programmi TV e articoli pubblicati. Gia`, come e` possibile ASSICURARE che qualcuno vinca davvero ??? Il risultato e` stato piu` che sorprendente, perfino per I conduttori, che hanno espresso il loro desiderio di partecipare subito !!! In tutti gli speciali, non solo si e` evidenziato e provato che il sistema funziona davvero e assicura la vincita a CHIUNQUE PARTECIPA, ma e` stato anche provato che non ci sono leggi in vigore (in Italia) che impediscono la partecipazione al programma. Creato negli USA qualche anno fa, e dopo aver generato non si sa quanti nuovi miliardari in tutto il mondo, e ricevuto l'attenzione di emittenti televisive e telegiornali in numerosi paesi del mondo, e` finalmente approdato anche in Italia, grazie alla cortese collaborazione di un italiano residente negli USA, che ha finalmente deciso di tradurre questa e- mail in italiano, ed estendere l'opportunita` di diventare miliardari anche a tutti gli italiani che desiderano partecipare !!! Quante volte hai tentato la fortuna al Totocalcio ??? Totogol ??? Enalotto, lotterie Hai fatto fortuna ??? NO ??? E probabilmente il tutto ti e` costato una gran bella cifra !!! Non preoccuparti: finalmente e` arrivato il tuo momento, si, quello di vincere sul serio, garantito oltre il 200%, perche` e` stato provato che nessuno puo` perdere, nessuno !!! Non si puo` perdere per il semplice motivo che ci sono migliaia di nuovi giocatori ogni giorno che vogliono partecipare, e aspettano che i fortunati che sono in possesso di questa e-mail (quale sei tu ad esempio), la spediscano anche a loro.
