Re: How to edit the boot.img

Thanks in advance, More eye-balls on d-i, especial in the sparc corner, are allways welcome. The boot.img is a kernel and Debian-Installer initial ramdisk (initrd) in one file.

please review alsaconf patch
I created the patch below to make alsaconf work with the DBRI and
CS4231 chips. But I'm not sure if this will work for the AMD7930
chip. The patch tries to find a SUNW,AMD7930* directory in this
case, but I don't know if that exists. Can somebody with an AMD7930
sound chip confirm/deny this?
Other feedback (like better approaches) is welcome too. I'll submit
it to Takashi once the AMD7930 issue is resolved.

booting a sunblade 100
Hi All, Has anyone successfully installed debian on a SunBlade 100? I've been trying various netinst images: http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/3.1_r0a/sparc/iso-cd/debian-31r0a-sparc-netinst.iso http://cdimage.debian.org/pub/cdimage-testing/daily/sparc/current/debian-testing-sparc-netinst.iso I never get to the debian installer itself. The stable complains of cramfs: wrong magic. The current pukes with Remapping the kernel... Fast Instruction Access MMU Miss. I've been googling around, reading the documention, trying everything I see other people doing. I've played with various boot params: ramdisk_size=16000, mem=128m, etc. I've got a stack of Blades collecting dust and I'm anxious to get them off Solaris. Any thoughts? -- Sincerely, Matt Dunford Unix Systems Administrator DOE Joint Genome Institute url: http://www.jgi.doe.gov email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] phone: 925-296-5844 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

It seems the current D-I for SPARC is broken for Sunblades. I had exactly your problem on a Sunblade 150 64bits. Try to install it via netboot with the image you can find here: http://people.debian.org/~stappers/d-i/images/daily/sparc64/netboot/ I tried the 2.6 one and it works. There are some issues regarding the frame buffer (first char truncated). Actually I'm working on a kernel customization in order to fix it. I hope it will work on your sunblade as well.

Problems when cp/mv large numbers of files/time:...alloc_streaming_cluster...failed
Hi, on my ultra5 I'm frequently experiencing problems with the filesystem (error - ext3 aborted journal - remounted readonly) * following a cutout from kern.log: --- kernel: kjournald starting. Commit interval 5 seconds kernel: EXT3 FS on sdc1, internal journal kernel: EXT3-fs: mounted filesystem with ordered data mode. kernel: pci_iommu: alloc_streaming_cluster of npages(131) failed! kernel: end_request: I/O error, dev sdc, sector 12600 kernel: Aborting journal on device sdc1. kernel: ext3_abort called. kernel: EXT3-fs error (device sdc1): ext3_journal_start_sb: Detected aborted journal kernel: Remounting filesystem read-only kernel: __journal_remove_journal_head: freeing b_committed_data --- This occurs only when creating a large number of files per time (tar xvf linux.tar will do ...). Typically the tar will run for some time (1-2 mins) before the problem occurs. Typical values for npages(...) failed are around 130. Operations with a lower creation rate (e.g. larger files of 1-2 GB) run without problems. The actual version of linux is 2.6.13.2 (from kernel.org) - I didn't remember seeing this in 2.6.12(.4). The disk is a Maxtor 200GB SATA disk, the controller is a Silicon Image Sil 3112. Any hints or clues ? Roger -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Re: Bug#334609: Installation Report: Sunblade 150 netboot - SUCCEDEED!
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hi, testing the daily build 2005-10-25 I noticed ide-cd module returns not working. It freezes everything. I'm starting to think it is a kernel problem for both issues: ide-cd (I'm not the only one who encounters this obstacle) and FB issue.

Ric Hi Riccardo, The FB problem has been reported a while ago as the bug #321200. There was a bunch of changes which broke it, so I could not figure it out myself and forwarded the problem upstream. There has been no reaction so far. If you want to try newer kernel, there are kernel debs available for 2.6.13, see my message [0] and followups. I am in the process of building the debs for 2.6.14-rc5 which was uploaded to experimental yesterday, but due to various hardware issues it will probably take another couple of days.
