 This is what you want. Woody doesn't support UltraSPARC III/IIIi
Nope that doesn't helped. I have tried several different methods - both cdrom 
and tftp boot but none worked.
I have tried:
1) CDROM boot
I have tried d-i image 
http://http.us.debian.org/debian/dists/testing/main/installer-sparc/current/images/cdrom-mini.iso
Got:
=
Rebooting with command: boot cdrom
Boot device: /[EMAIL PROTECTED],70/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/[EMAIL PROTECTED],0:f 
Dile and args:
SILO Version 1.4.4
Fast Data Access MMU Miss
ok
==
2) tftp boot
used images:
http://http.us.debian.org/debian/dists/woody/main/disks-sparc/current/sun4u/tftpboot.img
http://http.us.debian.org/debian/dists/testing/main/installer-sparc/current/images/sparc64/netboot/boot.img
http://www.phunnypharm.org/pub/for/sparc-folks/disks-sparc/current/sparc64/tftpboot.img
http://http.us.debian.org/debian/dists/stable/main/disks-sparc/current/sun4u/linux-a.out

All results in approximately the same result BUT with some variations. The 
most strange is that variations belongs not to specific images but to some 
random cause - I mean I got different results on every next boot.
So sometimes I got
1) Immediate error

Rebooting with command: boot net:dhcp tftpboot.img
Boot device: /[EMAIL PROTECTED],70/[EMAIL PROTECTED],1:dhcp File and args: 
tftpboot.img
Timeout waiting for BOOTP/DHCP reply. Retrying ...
464c00 Memory Address not Aligned
ok Fast Data AData access Error
ok Fast Data Access MMU Miss
ok

2) Some junk spreads over the top of screen and then hang with similar errors.
You can see screenshot here:
http://www.penza-gsm.ru/snake/debian/junk-and-mmu-miss.jpg
In this case the computer hangs

3) Same as (2) but it not hangs but instead prints ever more jung on every 
kestroke.

4) (I have not seen this myself but it is the best result)

.
Remapping kernel
Booting Linux

and then it hanged.

I have googled a lot and found many similar problems but no one solution. The 
most optimistic case was when someone got rid of it by simply recompiling the 
kernel with several parameters changed - so it will occassionally became 
aligned and booted up. I have not tryed it myself yet since I never did a 
cross-compile so it will take a lot of time and I will probably do it only 
next week.

Add -p to the end of your boot net command line.

Re: booting kernel ultra 10 - kernel hangs

2004-04-02 Thread Andy Pazos
thanks for Andrew answering. i used the console=ttyS1
cause im using serial boot, if i dont put that
parameter, it gives me an inconsistent console output
2 input 0 or something like that, i dont remember
exactly.

if i use the monitor for output instead, it hangs just
like below.

i also have a diskless sun4m terminal,  it's using
debian without problem.

anyway, if i have to upgrade the OBP, please tell what
i should read, im really new on sparc. thanks.

-

um... the 333Mhz UltraSPARC requires at LEAST 3.19v4
OBP..


I don't know how your system is even booting.

Re: kernal-source package for sparc?

2004-04-02 Thread Mike Mestnik
It's 719.25 Bogo I think it's a 350, I have 256M of 50ns memory.  I have
it in a Ultra10 case and I'm trying to get raid1 working.

I have built 3 kernels from the debian config, this includeds alot of
drivers that will never be used, it takes more time than TheTwoTowers.

  Hehe, about 4 hrs for a stock(Debian) kernel build.  If I cut it down
 it's
  still like 2.5 hrs.  X takes just as long.
 
  VS
 
  15 to 7 minuets on a K7.

  I used to do this untill I started using cramfs for initrds.  I
 guess
  this
   is disabled in sparc so it is a good alt.  However I don't like
  waiting
   for kernels to build, I don't mind for X as much.

1. This pkg dose not exist, did you mean kernel-image-2.4-sparc?
2. This pkg dose not contain the kernel-source or a buildable
  kernel
   tree.
3. There is also no kernel-source-sparc-2.4 or
  kernel-source-2.4-sparc
even.
