problems with U2
all. In the first days of august I wrote a mail, but probably people was enjoing holydays so I try to post again my problem in hoping to have some hints. My tentative to discover SUN ultra2 bipro goes on. I have compiled two kernel that differ only on the setting of smp: the first is setted on, the second off. I noted that: the mono system shutdown regularly and the U2 switch off without problems, but the command top doesn't work (it can't access to /proc); the bipro system doesn't shutdown but top works I use debian sarge regularly updated, with kernel 2.4.33 without modules (securiry reasons), without X. The U2 works as net, internal DNS, firewall server.

Silo works a little bit like grub, you don't have to reinstall > the boot sector every time you upgrade your kernel. Just to mention it, I've started a sparc64-ieee1275 grub 2 port. It's not usable yet, sadly, and I haven't worked on it for some time. For now I can just boot grub using netboot (it lacks a disk install system), "use" grub 2 (module loading, command line, ...) and cannot boot any OS (err... bootloader ? Ah, nevermind :) ). If anyone want to contribute, you're welcome on #grub irc channel on freenode (I'm sometimes there...). -- Vincent Pelletier pgpBwzxAgWBxA.pgp Description: PGP signature

Of course 1280x1024 will only work at 8 bits depth within 2M VRAM ... The ATI Rage chipset supports other resolutions; perhaps 1152x900 or 1280x800 will work at 15/16 bits.
