Upgrading openboot
Hello Debian/Ultra5 users (and silo developers?) I have been attempting to upgrade my ultra5's openboot to the latest version which i downloaded from sunsolve (patch 106121-18). Aparently the version of openboot that is currently installed into the prom is 3.15 ok .version Release 3.15 Version 2 created 1998/11/10 10:35 OBP 3.15.2 1998/11/10 10:35 POST 2.3.1 1998/08/07 16:33 This doesnt support net booting with dhcp which I require for some testing with diskless sparcs. However when i try to boot the flash update utility (following http://sunsolve.sun.com/pub-cgi/retrieve.pl?doc=fpatches/106121> i get the following output: boot: /flash-update-Ultra510-latest Allocated 8 Megs of memory at 0x4000 for kernel / Fatal error: Multiple loadable segments in your ELF image Program terminated ok Can i upgrade openboot with silo or do i need to use suns bootloader, whatever that might be? -- David Leggett [EMAIL PROTECTED] Get my public GPG key from http://www.asguard.org.uk/~david/david.asc Fingerprint: 51FA 58C2 0515 D0EE 7EA6 5AEB D944 B73E 5151 764
Problematic IPX
I turn my IPX (running Debian Woody 3.0 r2). I ssh to it. All is peachy. I go do groceries. When I come back, I find out it went back to the openboot prompt. What is going on here? I stick my hand behind the fan and it does not seem to be hot or anything. What else should I check? Which log files could be helpful in my quest?
