Question on mknbi
Dear listmembers, are there any plans ongoing to issue a release of mknbi and imaggen for sparc? I was not able to compile mknbi because the source is set up for i386. If not, can anyone of you tell me how to create a net-boot image for a U60 on my own (which tools are required ... make bootimages for dummies or so ... ) Many thanks for your inputs, take care Dieter Jurzitza -- HARMAN BECKER AUTOMOTIVE SYSTEMS Dr.-Ing.

Re: Question on mknbi
The netboot package includes /usr/bin/mknbi-linux. I don't know if this is what you are looking for. Keep in mind that the Sparc hardware can only handle a.out binary on netboot. After your kernel compilation, you need to run elftoaout on your uncompressed kernel before you put it out in your tftp server. I don't know if there is any integrated packages to make the task easier. I just started playing with this couple weeks ago. You can use the kernel doc initrd.txt and the program piggyback64 to create your boot image. If you are not building sparc64 kernel, you use piggyback instead.

Re: ftbfs [sparc] Requires v9|v9a|v9b
In article [EMAIL PROTECTED] you write: Hi, I have a package which FTBFS: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=269715 any hint on how to fix it? From the error messages, it appears the package contians assembler code that only works on sparc64, and the default for compiling for debian sparc is sparc32. Either disabled the assembler version, or modify your package to force sparc64 complilation. (or you could do both sparc32 and sparc64 versions) -- Blars Blarson [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.blars.org/blars.html With Microsoft, failure is not an option. It is a standard feature.
