Re: New install on Ultra2

2004-08-18 Thread Lucio Cantone
Hello,

   you have the same my problem, and I think that is the monitor part on
your configuration file.
   Look for HorizSync...
   I've an Ultra60 with a Creator3D video card, and when I launch startx, I
got the same error.
   After the autoconfigure autoprobe option for XFree86:

   XFree86 -configure

   the startx give me the message after the log:

   Caught signal 10. Server aborted

   My solution?
   I've just downloaded XFree4.4.0 (the latest), and now I'm compile it!

Lucio.

Installing and boot Sarge on SPARCstation 20 MP

2004-08-18 Thread Carsten Friede

Hi!

After some days with netbsd I decided to change to Debian/sarge. I've downloaded 
the netinst-iso and installed it. But after the installation process, I got a 
big problem. As it seems, there are some syscalls not implemented for SPARC, so 
I got something like a coredump when starting up. Until it gets to the point, 
where the terminal comes in, those error messages do not really harm. But then 
it crashes and reboots. That thing is strange! I mean, how could somebody made 
so buggy stuff public? Okay, never mind.
Another issue is, that I put a hard drive from an Ultra1 in there. Although it 
has 2.1GB (ST32550WC), it claims that there are only about 785MB of free space. 
But when I enter the screen for partitioning first, it tells me, about 2.1GB of 
free space. But when I create a partition, which is indeed larger than 785MB, 
the partition is cut to that size and no free space left.

Does anybody what to do, in order to achieve a running Debian on that box?


So long,

Carsten Friede

Re: Installing and boot Sarge on SPARCstation 20 MP

2004-08-18 Thread Carsten Friede

I traced this one more further. The exact messages are:
Setting up general console font... Unimplemented Sparc TRAP, type = 2b
/etc/init.d/rcS: line 220: 265 Segmentation fault${SETFONT} 
--tty=${DEVICE_PREFIX}$vc ${SETFONT_OPT} ${SCREEN_FONT} ${SCREEN_FONT_MAP}


It finally hangs with info: Switching console charset mapping to ISO-8859-1

I've no idea where to start.

RC1 - successful install on SPARCServer20 (32 bit - 2.4.26SMP)

2004-08-18 Thread Andrew M.A. Cater
Totally excellent dudes, RC1 rocks. It needed a bit of thinking about
partitioning to get /boot and the start of / within the first 1G of the
18.2G - the auto partitioner resulted in something that wouldn't boot -
but being offered the correct SMP kernel by default was totally awesome
:)

Now downloading the best part of 450M of new packages to get the desktop
installed.  Since I have a spare 18G drive in the machine, I may yet run
this machine as a show demo machine in October - one drive with Etch,
one drive with Sarge :)

As you may have noticed from other posts, I've had problems with aboot -
all help with silo/OpenPROM also gratefully received - I currently have to type
in a long string because it appears that the SCSI disks are
automagically reversed post install???  This is not new - I've had to do
this since Woody.

   I'm learning (the hard way) what I should've looked for before
   jumping on a good deal. :-)
 
  Forgive me if I seem a little cynical but a 'bargin' machine with an
  NVRAM password that the seller doesn't know sounds a little like
  something that has been 'borrowed' from it's original owner.
 
 Not always. Some machine are installed with an OPB password, and since
 these beasts can run continously for several months/years, it is
 possible that the knowledge of the password gets lost if the machine
 gets to be rebooted...

I didn't see Martin's original e-mail. So, I'm replying now.

I can see and agree with both Martin and Erwann. In this case it was one
I bought off ebay. Add to that the fact that the seller obviously didn't
know much about it - they could tell the size of the hard drives and the
ram from opening the case and reading labels, but they had no clue what
speed the processor was. And they said all the testing they had been
able to do was to turn on the power switch and see that the lights came
on. I suspect they were Windows users that didn't know about serial
consoles and all those other fun tricks.

Unfortunately though, I don't have an easy way to know if this item was
'borrowed' from its original owner or not. Fortunately it all seems to
work, though. Oh, the one other fact was that even though the hard
drives were partitioned, they did not appear to be bootable, as if
someone had formatted the partitions. That may or may not indicate
anything.
