Re: 2.6.15-1-sparc64 issues on blade 100

There were two problems I found, a missing flag (M64F_SDRAM_MAGIC_PLL) and a bad clock rate (230 instead of 235). Try applying some variation of the following patch. This fix went to 2.6.16-rc1, but was partially overwritten by a subsequent patch. Hopefully the full fix will reappear shortly, and then the debian folks will pick it up. If it does not fix your problem let me know; it means there is likely something wrong with my setup as well, and I just don't know it. If it does help, let me know so I can try harder to get it in for 2.6.16 final. -- Luis, who likes his SB100 Right, I've just checked and the code in 2.6.16-rc2 has the correct flags, but frequency is still set to 230 instead of correct 235 (*sigh*). I'll get a patch into svn. Updated kernels should be available from my site tomorrow.

I don't think it makes too much sense to build the SMP images at this point. The only person actively involved in making 2.6 SMP kernels work on sparc32 is Bob Breuer, and according to his recent post to sparc-linux list [0], it's not quite there yet. If you are seriously interested in testing SMP on sparc32, it is pretty simple to apply the patch mentioned in this message and build your own kernel (let me know if you'll need help with it).

SunFire v240 & Debian - Getting Closer
Installing Debian on a SunFire v240. System freezes towards the end of the kernel booting with this being the last message: Failed to mount /selinux/: No such file or directory Here's the full installation-report.
