Re: no keyboard after recompiling debian sid 2.6.4 kernel

Slightly OT: SCSI on SPARCServer 630MP
Hi all, I realise this is a Debian list, but I'm hoping I can find some people who know about this hardware here. And I will be installing Debian on it as soon as I get this problem sorted :-) I'm trying to get an old SPARCServer 630MP working. For some reason it's just not seeing any SCSI devices. I've tried a few different hard disks and a CD-ROM drive but can't get it to see anything. probe-scsi-all just doesn't find any devices. Does anyone know anything about these machines? Do I need any special drive settings? Anything else I need to know? Any ideas what might be causing this? I'd be VERY greatful for any help. Thanks, David. -- David Johnson http://www.david-web.co.uk/

I've tried a few different hard disks and a CD-ROM drive but can't get it to see anything. probe-scsi-all just doesn't find any devices. I have had a similar issue trying to get Gentoo Linux working on an SS600MP-based system here. I can actually boot off CD but then when I got to start installing the OS proper the CD devices do not appear in the device trees even though the SCSI hard disk shows up. Not sure if it's Debian related though as I haven't tried Debian on an SS600MP-based system up to now. I'm fairly sure that the on-board SCSI controller on the SS600MP boards is the same 'esp' controller Sun used on other machines of the same vintage like the SS10 (next model out after the SS600MP), though I'd need to pull the board out to tell you for sure. In regard to your problem, is your SCSI cabling properly-terminated? Also, I think the SS600MP's have a replacable fuse on the system board for SCSI termination power, so check that hasn't blown. It'll most probably be a 1.25 amp 'littlefuse' if I remember correctly. All the older Sparc systems and the 68020/68030 sun3/3x machines had replacable SCSI termination power fuses too.

Re: XFree86-4.4.0 on Ultra5 behaves funny

Sorry, but actually I'm still not sure which is the correct list for this. As you know Debian doesn't include X4.4 I wrote a debhelper script to package X-4.4.0 (99.x) binaries. Need it because of hardware availabilty problems here. The script is available from http://www.acarlab.com/linux/debscripts_X-4.4.0.html but your problem can be reasonably associated to the fact that X4.4 supports ipv6 natively, and that might snip Thanks for the pointer - your prognosis was true. I've learnt about IPv6 and set it up cleanly on my local network - and am running XFree86-4.4.99.2 on Sparc and i386 Debian Woodys. THANKS for ALL the replies to this post. - arvind
GTK+ 2.4 on sparc
Hi, I've built a few of the experimental gtk+ 2.4 packages on sparc. They are available at: deb http://people.debian.org/~phython ./ These packages are compiled with -mcpu=ultrasparc -m32, so they should work just fine on any ultrasparc machine running Debian GNU/Linux. I'll probably keep builting packages based off these and add them to that repository, but so far only the gtk+ packages are done. Jim
