how to boot
Dear Listmembers, I started the installation of SARGE in the meantime, and, after helpful hints from Joshua Kwan the installation proceeds. I had had cleaned the harddrive entirely prior to the installation and had the installer automatically set up the disk. parted tells me now: /dev/scsi/host1/bus0/target3/lun0/disc Disc label type: sun Minor 1 0 8313ext3boot 2 83138705linux-swap what sounds right. Now, when it comes to the SUN boot-prompt, I say boot disk3:1 and it fails. if I say disk:1 it fails. I tried millions of combinations. Any ideas? I always get Can't open boot device Not to forget: I am using a U60. OpenBoot 3.23 / 512M of ram installed. The scsi-id of the HDD is 3 (as shown from parted).

Mandi!

One of the reasons I upgraded to testing was to try to get rendered fonts, to have a better display (it works well, and it's really nicer, thanks). The creator3d is such a crappy chip, no texturing capabilities at all for example, that it's not the end of the world. :-) Sure, but for non texturing (i.e. wireframe draws and 'plain' colors), it's much better than pure software. Is the DRM/Render exclusion still valid for an Elite3D card?

RE: What is best kernel/disto combination for SS20 SMP?

This is one of the rare events where userspace isn't the problem. 2.6.x needs somebody with good sparc32 knowledge and some spare time... MfG, JBG Well I'm certainly up for helping out in any way I can [if|when] people start working on getting HyperSPARC(s) to work with 2.6 but I'm no programmer I'm afraid. Just a thought, but do people think it would be worthwhile getting some note about the instability of HyperSPARCs, wrt recent kernels, put into the Linux SMP Howto and the FAQ on http://www.ultralinux.org?

Sunblade 1500 and Sarge Installer
Ive just spent the last week reading through the archives and trying various methods to get debian on my Sunblade 1500. At this point I have still not succeeded, but am getting closer. I read through Mays (May 2004) list and came across two mini-iso images that I was finally able to boot from without initrd issues. http://june.voxel.net/~joshk/mini.iso --Boots, but Kernel Panic on mounting rootfs. http://june.voxel.net/~joshk/d-i/images/2004-06-04/cdrom-mini.iso --Makes it through initrd, but when loading kernel it reboots. I have tried appending the rootfstype=ext2 option to the first iso, but it doesnt seem to make a difference. I was wondering if there was any more information on this issue, or if a novice like myself could be of any assistance to the folks that are working on this. Ryan Terry
Re: re SS5 newbie
I've something to add to your question about the SS5. About 3-4month ago I reinstalled my own SS5. Some of the experiences made during this work are documented on a web page which is hosted on the SS5 :-) You see it at http://bastei.home.bieselt.de/ (text is in german) If you cannot connect, my DSL connection is probably down. Please try again later. If it takes some time - the SS5 is not that fast! Greetings Christoph Herbert Raimund schrieb: Andy, Martin, James, David .. thank you for all the valuable replies! Now I have some orientation, couple of links, the Anysystems page to check for prices and I know what to look for on the webauctions. Will be back suun : ) Thanks again gurus.. herbs
Re: Sunblade 1500 and Sarge Installer
I hate to spam the list with all of this, but It may be helpful if anyone else is trying to do this. I had success today with the businesscard.iso from here: http://cdimage.debian.org/pub/cdimage-testing/daily/sparc/current/ It will at least boot on my Sunblade 1500. The only issue I see right now is that eth0 isnt getting link, and ifconfig eth0 up fails. Ryan Terry
Re: [Rapidly drifting OT] Re: Direct rendering: No
I'm a sysadmin, not a driver hacker. Evidently, my opinion is worth less (or worthless?) because I haven't the foggiest clue how to write or alter a video driver? Why does a sysadmin care about 3d support anyway? :) My 2 cents, there's more need for decent looking desktops than some opengl support for rarely used games (especially games that aren't all that well supported on sparc64 anyway). Anyone played quake3 on sparc64? Played any of the highend games on sparc64? -- Debian - http://www.debian.org/ Linux 1394 - http://www.linux1394.org/ Subversion - http://subversion.tigris.org/ WatchGuard - http://www.watchguard.com/
