Installing Debian on Netra t1 and A1000
Below is the transcript of an unsuccessful install of the latest Debian sparc distribution. I am an ultra linux newb. and even less experienced with Sun hardware. Does anyone have any idea why this install stalls at "sym0: SCSI BUS has been reset." Is this a problem people have had in the past? I am interested to hear from people who have successfully installed debian on Netra and A1000. Your help will be much appreciated, As i really want to use debian on this machine. and cannot get anything but Solaris to install. Thankyou so much for ur help :) This is the Debian Install CD.

Re: how do i override bad atyfb values in silo?
i was trying to switch my ultra5 from the default high res (it's hard to read), to a low, by putting append=video=atyfb:xres:800,yres:600 in silo.conf. I am not if this is what you want, but it is similar. On a b100 hooked up to a TFT, I use append=video=atyfb:[EMAIL PROTECTED] to force the atyfb down to 60Hz. So maybe you should try append=video=atyfb:[EMAIL PROTECTED] (or @75, or whatever refresh rate you need. HTH Ingo

Re: U1E hangs on make under Debian latest stable.
On Tue, Apr 08, 2003 at 06:38:41PM -0700, Ian McKee wrote: U1E #1 will always hang during a configure/make/make install procedure. In particular, during make of libxml-2.5.6, or bash-2.05a, the machine hangs, becomes unresponsive to input, and requires a hard power off to reboot. After this the disk must be fsck'd to reboot. U1E #2 does not hang during any make procedures I have tried. To me it sounds like you probably have a harware problem with U1E #1. Compiling often brings out hardware problems since it taxes the hardware. Try some other method of getting a high load on the machine and see if you can get it to lock up that way. My guess is the problem might be in the memory. Try swapping memory between the two machines and see if the problem machine switches. -- Jim Crumley | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | Work: 612 624-6804 or -0378 |

I had the same problem that John had, and was able to get around the problem by removing gcc-3.0, libgcc1, and libstdc++3, and then doing the apt-get upgrade (which also upgraded the libraries).

Ugh, I'm caught in a dependency problem. apt-get doesn't want to uninstall libc6-sparc64 because it's needed but won't upgrade it either. dpkg doesn't want to remove it because libgcc1 depends on it.

Re: U1E hangs on make under Debian latest stable.
Update to my good U1E, bad U1E post: U1E #1: 200MHz, 256MB, 9.1GB, a Creator 3D card, etc. U1E #2: 200MHz, 128MB, 9.1GB, a C6 8-bit card, etc. I have swapped the RAM from #1 to #2, and U1E still hangs during make, same as before. Thanks to Jim Crumley for making this suggestion; along these lines I've also performed a bad block scan of the disk in each machine during the Debian install, which does not report any error.
Re: DSA 282-1 and Bug #156937
Hm, due to the suggestions in this thread I tried: dpkg --remove libgcc1 dpkg --remove libc6-sparc64 apt-get upgrade apt-get install libc6-sparc64 It did the trick. Now I have the same libraries as before in an updated version. Why does apt-get choke when you try to update things in one go? Arthur Arthur van Dorp wrote: Uninstall libc6-sparc64.

If you have problems there, Linux wont help you. Hmm, I have an A1000 that I might be able to free up for use under Linux. Hardware RAID and battery-backed write caching would rule. For such a setup do you have to configure the array with Raid Manager running on Solaris then run Linux on the host long term? Debian's setup is a dual-boot system. We use command-line raid-manager tools to configure the array (RAID-5, 8x36.7gig drives). -- Debian - http://www.debian.org/ Linux 1394 - http://www.linux1394.org/ Subversion - http://subversion.tigris.org/ Deqo - http://www.deqo.com/

A small block with a green LED that plugs into the other scsi connection. yes i do have the terminator.. looking from the back. the left scsi port has the connection to netra. and the right it terminateddebian Unplug the A1000 and see if you can install ok without it. You certainly don't need it there at install time, and it'll narrow down the possible range of problems. -- Nate Campihttp://www.campin.net

I have sucessfully installed aurora on the netra, and also solaris. but really want to use debian. Thanks for the idea. Could it possibly be a driver problem?

I have debian running fine on a netra t1 105, despite the stupid ultrasparcIIi slow CPU it's not a bad box. I had major CD problems in it, so I installed on a UE2 and put the disk into the netra after installation. Worked like a charm, I recommend you try the same. -- Nate Campihttp://www.campin.net

Worked like a charm, I recommend you try the same. i can boot from cdrom fine. and i only have the a1000 and netra t1 105. I have no other sun machines. and only one linux box where i work. :(

Re: Installing Debian on Netra t1 and A1000
just another idea. is it possible (and advisable to get aurora running on the netra and then get debian to work from there.. recompiling the kernel? if i do an install just on the netra how do i then get debian working on the a1000. my understnading is basically that the scsi connetctor is like an internal data bus and they should function as one machine. with 2 hard-drives. again thanks for all the support
