Re: tg3 driver fails

I upgraded from the original 4.0.something (I think), and tried the latest and the older one in the patch. There seems to be a fundamental problem here.

Re: blade 1000 boot problem
Quoting Tib [EMAIL PROTECTED]: I've recently been given a blade 1000 and have been trying to get debian installed on it. It didn't like the cd's I made so I'm having to do a tftpboot process, which isn't all that bad. If I try to use the boot.img from: http://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/sarge/main/installer-sparc/current//images/sparc64/netboot/ I can get through the prompts for selecting locale and it does a dhcp config. Then when it asks for a hostname the keyboard is completely unuseable. I can only guess it didn't actually map to the correct locale. So I tried the 2.6 boot.img, and can get all the way through installation with the only problem being manually telling it to use the qlogicfc module instead of qlogicisp. It says it needs to reboot, and does so. The system comes back up, gets to 'Remapping the kernel... done.' and just stops.

Sarge on Netra T1
Hi all, I have a (couple of) Netra T1 105's, 440Mhz/512MB. Both have 2 x 36gb SCSI discs. When installing and running Solaris, all discs are recognised properly, when installing Sarge from the latest netinst image, only 540MB of each discs appears usable! Incidently this was also the case when attempting to install on an Ultra60 (2 x 18gb) and an Ultra10 (both IDE and via SCSI card) ... in all cases the installer would only see about 540mb. All OBP versions are latest. Any idea as to why this should be? A quick Google was fruitless.. Cheers4 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

partitioning for dual boot
Has anyone had success with a Sarge/Solaris dual boot? I did this with Woody (or possibly earlier), but I can't now partition a disk which Solaris is happy with. I've tried installing Solaris (10) first, and Debian first, but it seems that whenever fdisk, parted, or whatever it is that the installer uses, touches the disk, it clobbers it and the Solaris boot or install won't use it. I think I've had different reports from Solaris, depending on what I did, but an example is: WARNING: /[EMAIL PROTECTED],60/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/[EMAIL PROTECTED],0 (sd0): Corrupt label - bad geometry Label says 71133184 blocks; Drive says 71132959 blocks I was wondering whether it was worth trying to build an old fdisk and, if so, which version to go for. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Some are USB and some have the type 5-type connector. For a 2.6 kernel, you need pc104 (?) -- see the install instructions, I think. Otherwise, for a USB one, I think you need `mac usb' with the appropriate localization. It might help if that was documented somewhere. You don't get all the Sun keys, though, at least with a 2.6 kernel. I'd be interested in a recipe to get the extra keys on a type 6 set up correctly, e.g. the L1 keys and Compose don't work for me, and I think meta and alt are swapped from the default in Woody.

I've been trying unsuccessfully for days now to install Debian onto a
U30 with 2x 9GB Cheetahs using RAID+LVM. (FWIW, a normal install
works fine). The major problem is that, no matter which version
(stable, testing, testing daily image) of the DebianInstaller I use,
it *refuses* to permit me to create any RAID devices.
I seem to remember (maybe from a previous thread on this list) that the
RAID features of the Debian-Installer don't work on SPARC machines.
I've certainly not been able to do that on my Netra T1 105. However, a
RAID-1 + LVM set-up is both possible and fairly easy to achieve. You
just need the benefit of hindsight. :-)
Root on LVM on RAID-1 is slightly harder, but I believe it's possible.
I opted for the simpler arrangement of having my root partition on a
plain RAID-1 array and a separate RAID-1 array containing various LVM
volumes. I might get round to writing a Web page about it at some
point, but here's the gist of it.
1. Boot the 2.6 Debian-Installer image over the network and install a
minimal system on /dev/sdb.
2. Boot to the new installation and partition and partition /dev/sda
like this:
Disk /dev/sda (Sun disk label): 255 heads, 63 sectors, 17849 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 bytes
Device FlagStart EndBlocks Id System
/dev/sda1 1 523 4192965 fd Linux raid autodetect
/dev/sda2 523 654 1052257+ fd Linux raid autodetect
/dev/sda3 0 17849 143372092+ 5 Whole disk
/dev/sda4 654 17849 138118837+ fd Linux raid autodetect
Note that the first partition starts at cylinder 1. This is to leave
room for the Sun disk label and bootloader.
3. Install Sarge onto an ext3 filesystem in /dev/sda4. Don't bother
with swap.
4. Boot to this installation ('boot disk0:3' at the OpenBootPROM prompt)
and set things up as desired. Install lvm2 and mdadm (removing
/etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf). Build a custom kernel (non-initrd is much
easier) that supports RAID-1 and LVM. Repartition /dev/sdb to match
/dev/sda, and correct the partition types for /dev/sda. Reboot.
5. Create RAID-1 arrays: /dev/md0 = /dev/sda1 + /dev/sdb1, /dev/md1 =
/dev/sda2 + /dev/sdb2. Create an ext3 filesystem in /dev/md0 and create
a swap area in /dev/md1. Mount /dev/md0 somewhere and copy your root
filesystem there ('cp -ax / /mnt). Edit /mnt/etc/fstab, and add an
entry to /etc/silo.conf with /dev/md0 as the root filesystem (and
everything else unchanged). Reboot and select this new boot entry.
6. You should now have /dev/md0 mounted as root. Complete the root
filesystem switch by editing /etc/silo.conf accordingly, and running
silo. You may be able to acheive the same effect by running 'silo -r
/mnt' in the previous step. Add /dev/md1 as swap in /etc/fstab. Reboot
and make sure everything works. Convince yourself that you're booting
with the SILO configuration file in /dev/md0, not the one in /dev/sda4.
7. Create the final RAID-1 array (/dev/md2 = /dev/sda4 + /dev/sdb4).
Set it up as an LVM volume group ('pvcreate /dev/md2; vgcreate /dev/md2)
and create whatever logical volumes you wish.
Of course, there's nothing to stop you from putting your swap partition
on LVM. And as I said before, I believe it's possible to have your root
partition on LVM; you just need to be careful. Finally, this reply may
not solve your problem at all, but if it helps someone else to achieve
what I spent a few weeks scratching my head over then all is not lost.

I ended up modifying the filter in /etc/lvm/lvm.conf from the d-i shell, so that it would ignore the physical disks. Even with that, I had to run vgcreate twice to finally get anything out of it.

I went back to the d-i partioner menu, and finally it was showing my LV's in the list. There is still some underlying problem however, as it kept insisting I had made and needed to commit some change to the RAID device; when I let it do so, it then complained that the change was not accepted and a reboot would be required. I ignored this and proceeded. Back at the main d-i menu I instructed it to install the base system, which it seems to have done without incident. I am now however stuck trying to get SILO functional. Attempting this from the d-i menu resulted in a nice little message stating an error had occured (no details given). So, manually, from the shell: ~ # /target/sbin/silo -r /target /etc/silo.conf appears to be valid Fatal error: Couldn't find out what device is second stage on Is SILO aware of RAID or LVM?

kernel booting
So I installed woody onto my blade and it boots to a 2.4.18 kernel with no problems. I figured I'd try something more recent - or at least something that could do smp. Grabbed the 2.4.27 kernel package and installed it. Here's the question: would an initrd dependant kernel be what's causing the system to freeze on boot after the 'remapping the kernel' part? I'm curious now because the 2.4.18 kernel is not an initrd style kernel, but the 2.6.8 and 2.4.27 are - and both of those freeze after loading. My silo.conf entries are as follows: image=2/vmlinuz read-only label=linux image=2/vmlinuz-2.4-smp read-only label=linux-2.4 initrd=2/initrd-2.4.img image=2/vmlinuz-2.6-smp read-only label=linux-2.6 initrd=2/initrd-2.6.img The first is the 2.4.18 kernel and works fine. The other two I had to manually create, modeled after my pc lilo.conf and when running silo it says things are kosher, and at boot it pulls up the images - but hangs after 'remapping the kernel'.

On my first few attempts to install Debian on the Netra, I ran into what I thought was a bug in silo.c, and hacking around with it produced varying degrees of success. As far as I can tell, the problem resulted from trying to install the boot block for a degraded /boot array (only /dev/sdb1 active). Anyway, using the method I described in my previous post, the SILO installation worked fine. I can boot from disk0:3 or disk1:3, which is what I wanted all along (the system can completely survive the loss of one disk).

Re: Elite 3D color alteration.
Hi, I'm confused ... I should have RTFMed a lot more. I've discover that mplayer provide an option to swap Red and Blue. I'm going to ask the mplayer team if the option could be enabled by default for the elite 3d (is it reasonable ?) but by the way you can specify the option : mplayer -vf rgb2bgr=swap (I hope this hint can save time for other people facing this issue) I fear/'m pleased I have a lot more to learn concerning Linux and the Sun hardware ;) Thanks again. kind regards, Aurelien David S. Miller wrote: From: Aurelien Larcher [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Sun, 10 Jul 2005 14:42:43 +0200 indeed the colordepth doesn't matter (I tested from 8bits to 24bits) and it seems that red and blue are swapped with mplayer. with vlc colors are right but regarding the cpu load it seems that this player uses software rendering rather than my card. Yes, there is no hardware acceleration for movie rendering on the elite3d card. What should I do ? Is there something I can change to correct the rgb order ? (Is that the colormap I found in the web ?) mplayer needs to have the bug fixed, that's all. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Re: partitioning for dual boot
Probably the obvious answer, but Solaris and Sarge on separate drives ? Sorry, no -- the system disk. It would be a pain to use an external scsi drive on the systems of interest, but openboot doesn't seem happy with that anyway, either on ultra 5+scsi card or v210. (Is that really the case, or am I doing something wrong?) If OpenBoot is aware of the controller that the external disk is attached to you should be able to boot off it with the right incantation. Awareness requires OpenBoot drivers for the device and / or OpenBoot firmware on the card. Thus, althought Linux can use generic PCI SCSI / graphics / USB / ATA cards, getting the machine to boot off them may be much harder.

u5/u10 install issues
(first off, I apologize if this has become a FAQ, but I'l a little frustrated, so I figured I might as well try the list). I'm having some difficulty installing debian onto my Ultra 5. It seems that the kernel has some issue reading from an internal IDE disk (this first manifests itself when trying to read the partition tables at boot:) CMD646: IDE controller at PCI slot 01:03.0 CMD646: chipset revision 3 CMD646: chipset revision 0x03, MultiWord DMA Force Limited CMD646: 100% native mode on irq 4,7e0 ide0: BM-DMA at 0x1fe02c00020-0x1fe02c00027, BIOS settings: hda:pio, hdb:pio ide1: BM-DMA at 0x1fe02c00028-0x1fe02c0002f, BIOS settings: hdc:pio, hdd:pio hda: WDC WD800BB-00CAA1, ATA DISK drive ide: Assuming 33MHz system bus speed for PIO modes; override with idebus=xx hdc: CRD-8322B, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive ide0 at 0x1fe02c0-0x1fe02c7,0x1fe02ca on irq 4,7e0 ide1 at 0x1fe02c00010-0x1fe02c00017,0x1fe02c0001a on irq 4,7e0 (shared with ide0) Partition check: hda:end_request: I/O error, dev 03:00 (hda), sector 0 end_request: I/O error, dev 03:00 (hda), sector 2 end_request: I/O error, dev 03:00 (hda), sector 4 end_request: I/O error, dev 03:00 (hda), sector 6 end_request: I/O error, dev 03:00 (hda), sector 8 and so on for all of the even sectors it attempts to read.

Re: Sarge on Netra T1
Undr Solaris, partition (or slice) 3 covers the whole disk and isn't used for anything else, AFAIK. Delete this, reset the CHS settings, write the partition table back to disk, re-run FDISK and create your partitions. If you create one large partition, mount it and do a df -h you should see whatever the total capacity of the drive is. Note: partition 3 must be of the type Sun Disklabel (option s in FDISK). Note 2: Don't hold me responsible if you nuke your system doing this - it worked for me, your mileage may vary. I erased the entire disc and attempted to partition as I would for my x86 boxen... I must admit that I didn't alter any CHS info, just simply ran the installer and erased the entire disc. Funny thing is, the partitioner saw the whole disc, but when creating the partions it only saw 540mb. I believe a version of parted had this as a bug, but can't remember which one.

#I believe a version of parted had this as a bug, but can't remember which one. I re-partitioned the disc using Solaris, then installed preserving slice 3 (whole disc)..this appears to have worked a treat! I am now happily installing Sarge on the Netra..

I tricked d-i into using them (I honestly don't even recall now how I did that), and it installed the base system onto my new filesystems. Even SILO was quite happy to use the RAID device; I was able to 'boot disk0' or 'boot disk1' from OBP with identical results. However, the new setup absolutely will *not* complete a boot. Boot process proceeds until it's time to detect and mount the LV's; I get dozens of devfs errors: devfs_mk_dir: invalid argument.4devfs_mk_dev: could not append to parent for /disc then the system attempts to proceed, seems mostly okay, then init shuts down my serial console with /bin/sh: line 1: /dev/pts/0: No such file or directory. I have to manually power cycle the box, as it won't even let me send a break to return to OBP. Ugh.

Re: u5/u10 install issues
Try using dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hda bs=1M count=1 to erase the Sun disk label inside the installer's spare command line console, then use parted to recreate it. Then reboot. Don't do this if you need things on the drive of course. --- Sam Creasey [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: (first off, I apologize if this has become a FAQ, but I'l a little frustrated, so I figured I might as well try the list).
