Niagara machines support
Hi, Today's (Aug 22) daily builds of the Debian installer are the first builds featuring 2.6.17 kernel, they also should contain all the kernel modules to support the T1K/T2K hardware. If someone has access to these boxes, both d-i and kernel teams would greatly appreciate some feedback about the installation experience on them. You can get the installation media from http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/ Makes sure to download stuff from the section daily built images.

Re: Boot without Keyboard/mouse
Yes, no problem. Hook a null modem cable to the serial port on the back (it's the one labeled A if there is more than one, I don't have a 5) and it should work. This is called a serial console in the Sun world and a google search on that will get you loads of info. cheers bruce On Tue, Aug 22, 2006 at 07:42:21PM +0200, Andrea Modesto Rossi wrote: Hello world, i've this problem.

Shutdown U2 smp
Hi 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. I'm in trobles with my new SUN ultra2 bipro. 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 2.4.33.1 without modules (securiry reasons), without X. The U2 works as net, internal DNS, firewall server. [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ dpkg -l|grep gcc ii gcc-3.33.3.5-13 ii gcc-3.3-base 3.3.5-13 ii lib64gcc1 3.4.3-13 ii libgcc13.4.3-13 kernel comes from kernel.org I hope someone can help me.

Re: Boot without Keyboard/mouse
You can boot the machine without keyboard/mouse even if you don't connect a null modem cable to the serial port. You just won't have a hardware console, that's all. This has worked with my Ultra10 and my SB100, which I have run as firewalls in my closet. :) Daniel On tis, 2006-08-22 at 18:44 +, Bruce O'Neel wrote: Yes, no problem.

Re: Shutdown U2 smp
Hi, For the SMP system, is the problem that you say halt -p and it halts but doesn't power off? In the case of my ultra 2 (but with no custom built kernels) dual CPU I found that halt by itself powered it off. I found this out accidently (obvously). No, I have no idea why. cheers bruce On Tue, Aug 22, 2006 at 08:52:31PM +0200, Antonio M. wrote: Hi all.

Re: Boot without Keyboard/mouse
Yes, that's completely true and that's how I run all of mine. OTOH, it's a bit hard to do the install but I guess the orig poster can just put the keyboard and display on for the install and then remove them. It's handy to have a null modem cable sitting around if something goes wrong though. It solves the I turned it on 10 mins ago and it still doesn't respond to ping problem... cheers bruce On Tue, Aug 22, 2006 at 08:58:08PM +0200, Daniel Liikamaa wrote: You can boot the machine without keyboard/mouse even if you don't connect a null modem cable to the serial port.

Re: Boot without Keyboard/mouse
Greetings, all, Just FYI, this works just fine on the E4500s as well. There are two serial ports, so you have to be sure to get port A, but other than that, works great. Full agreement with Bruce, doing the install via the serial port is actually not possible (MUST use a second virtual terminal to 'modprobe esp.o'), so I used the keyboard/mouse/monitor for the install, but they are not used under normal conditions.

Re: Sun Netra X1 Networking
Chris, Do you have the latest Flash PROM? (patch 111952 for more info) Does it work with Solaris? (you could try a Nexenta CD) Cheers, Daniel On Sun, 2006-08-20 at 15:35 -0400, Chris Burwell wrote: I have successfully (I think) installed Debian (etch release) on a Sun Netra X1.

Re: Sun Netra X1 Networking
Daniel, Through searching this list by way of Google (after the local search did not work), I found my answer. The problem seems to be that both the dmfe and tulip modules are being loaded. I can solve this problem by issuing the following commands (using sudo): modprobe -r dmfe modprobe -r tulip modprobe tulip dhclient eth1 My next question is how do get this done automatically at system start. I thought adding the following to modules.conf would be my ticket: pre-install tulip modprobe -r dmfe; modprobe -r tulip install module tulip post-install tulip dhclient eth1 This does not yield the results that I want. I am not familiar with the modules.conf file, but based on it's man page it seemed to be what I needed. Is there something that I can do to unload both the dmfe and tulip modules, reload the tulip module, and then get a dynamic IP for eth1 (all at system start)? I am new to Linux (I have been playing with it for a bit over a year, and using it seriously for a few months). This is my first journey into the world of Sun servers and the SPARC architecture as well. Thank you for your help! - Chris Burwell Daniel van Eeden wrote: Chris, Do you have the latest Flash PROM?
