working usb-card?
hi all! i have a sun sparc with debian etch, kernel 2.6, running, and i want a usb port. i have found some hints what to buy (opti) and what not (VIAUSB20 VIA VT6212) in older posts (http://lists.debian.org/debian-sparc/2004/04/msg00164.html) to this list. however, this discussion is 2 years old. so, i would appreciate newer experiences with working or not working usb cards. another thing, is there anything to look for in buying usb hubs? regards, martin -- Der GMX SmartSurfer hilft bis zu 70% Ihrer Onlinekosten zu sparen!

Re: Problems on Blade 1000 after etch instalation
I have noticed that the problem of the xserver had to do with a bad configuration of afbinit.

The qlogicfc module is not loaded on the boot process even though it is in the initrd.img file. I have modified the initrd.img and added to the modules file the line qlogicfc, now the disks are detected and the system boots. Which is the difference that makes the Ultra60 not to load when specifying the initrd file when this file works on normal booting? I have to add the root=/dev/sdxy to the boot string when specifying the booting string. (I think that this is normal). Now the system is booting but I have some more problems. 1.- The system stops while trying to run the cupsys daemon. I had to take this out from the booting process. 2.- xwindows do not work. The blade is running with a creator 3D M3 adapter, afb code is loaded OK. The x screen starts for 1 or 2 seconds and then dies with signal 11 saying that connection is reset by peer. If I move the mouse while starting the xserver then the x screen lasts less time. The keyboard (sub type 6 spanish) is set like this. Driver kbd Option XkbRules xorg Option XkbModel pc105 Option XkbLayout es The modules for the sunffb (cfb and cfb32) are also included in the xorg.conf Any clue? 3.- The fans of the blade 1000 are runing 100% speed. Is there a kernel module to control the fans out there to solve this?

I have also a Ultra 60 with the same instalation that boots. I have copied the initrd in the boot directory with another file name like oldinit when I try to boot with boot:1/vmlinuz initrd=1/oldinit I have the same problem than with the blade 1000 (initrd.img found and scsi module loaded but wait for root file system message and finally dropped to a shell). How can I make that the root file system is mounted on the blade1000? Which is the difference that makes the Ultra60 not to load when specifying the initrd file when this file works on normal booting? I would thank any light on this problem.

After the instalation the machine loads silo and when the system is booting it finally stays for ever with a message that says waiting for root filesystem. I have checked the initrd and it has in the module tree the qlogicfc. The qloficfc controller seems to be detected on boot but at the end I have a lot of messages regarding qla2xxx that I dont know if they should be there. Thanks in advance, Luis
Fans at full speed on blade 1000 with kernel 2.6
Hello every one, Is there any kernel module for to control the temperature sensors and thus the fans for the blade 1000. Regards, Luis -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Regards, Luis CONFIG_BBC_I2C=m in your .config file builds the bbc module, and it is supposed to do what you are asking. But last time I tried it, it had a horrible side effect: it took over the system completely for about 2 seconds out of every 5. That was with a 2.6.15 kernel, though, so it might do better with something more current today. If you build the bbc module, of course you can play with it and see how it does today.

I don't think any sparc developers have specifications for it; there is no kernel support; a driver would be a major effort with small return.

Mandi! Martin Lemmen In chel d? si favelave... ML however, this discussion is 2 years old. so, i would appreciate newer experiences with working or not working usb cards. another thing, is there anything to look for in buying usb hubs? i've buyed a low brand (Trust) USB2 PCI card, i don't remember well the chipset (i think VIA) but works like a charm on my Ultra 30. ;) -- Il settimo dice non ammazzare se del cielo vuoi esssere degno.

Re: working usb-card?
I've used NEC-based USB cards with perfect success under both 2.4 and 2.6 kernels, on an Ultra 60 and SB2000. I believe one was an Adaptec card I picked up from a local retailer. IIRC, I had less success with the VIA-based USB cards. It worked perfectly in 2.6, but not in 2.4 (which at the time, was my goal -- works perfect with both). >From my few experiences with USB on Sparc, just about any PCI card that works on x86 with 2.6 kernels will work on sparc on 2.6. The issues that may arise are PCI initialization that would require an x86 BIOS. This is usually troublesome with PCI video cards, but seems to be essentially a non-issue with PCI USB cards.
