help please....!

2006-01-13 Thread Jose_Robles
I'm jose robles i'm from venezuela trying to install Debian on a Sunfire V240, but I'm having some
initial problems... At first I tried a Debian boot cd (Sarge), but it froze when
it reached "remapping kernel"... No fun! I tried tried another cd
(Woody) but this only caused the machine to reboot. Some kind soul told
me that Silo isn't the most reliable of things so I should net boot the
thing instead. Ok then!
I tried with debian testing and says remapping kernel ok I said ufff.¡ 
but does not say anything but that I can make

jose robles
thanks

You probably need to do a tftp boot and network install.  I had to do
that on a Sunfire V210. The CD install is broken on those machines.

Martin,

I'm sorry that i'm still confused. I can load the snd-sun-cs4231
successfully in my Ultra 5. No error messages. When I run the alsaconf,
it says could not open snd: No such device, then it unloaded all the
snd drivers. My kernel is 2.6.8. I looked at your patch but I don't
know how to fix it. Would you elaborate please?
I try to mount the openpromfs - /bin/mount -t openpromfs none
/proc/openprom
I can't find an audio file - find /proc/openprom -follow -type d -name
audio* -print
Am I just miss the audio file? How do I create it?

ultra5:/dev# modprobe snd-sun-cs4231
ultra5:/dev# alsaconf
modinfo: could not open snd: No such device
modinfo: could not open snd: No such device
modinfo: could not open snd: No such device

Why do you run alsaconf if you already know the proper module and already 
loaded it? What do you expect from alsaconf to do any further for you?
alsaconf itself may be broken even if the driver is not.
