Thanks, Luigi. I hope it will work for others too, so that we can go 
ahead and commit the changes.

I wonder, which kernel was the last to have a working framebuffer for 
your box? It looks like a regression, but there was quite a bit of 
changes in 2.6.18, so it will probably be pretty tricky to track down.

Those are known and should be fixed in 2.6.18.1 [0,1].

2006-10-20 Thread peter green
gaim-librvp failed to build on sparc due to a transiant issue with
build-deps. Other than wait times this is now the only thing holding gaim 2
out of testing.

contacting the buildd guys at [EMAIL PROTECTED] (that is the address
right?) has proven futile, therefore i am begging for some dev with a sparc
box to build and upload it manually.

Hi Jurij,
I tested the new kernel on my SB100 and while the clock error has

No error is printed. Starting on console framebuffer is activated for

Thanks for testing. I have built another kernel overnight,
(available at http://www.wooyd.org/debian/kernels/), including new
DaveM's patch, and dropping the old atyfb patch for SunBlade which we
have been applying for a while in Debian, but which was not accepted
upstream [0]. There have been quite a few changes upstream, so my hope
is that this patch is no longer required and things will work once
it's removed (and I will start to get desperate if they will not :-).


Ok, this kernel works on SB100, but only if atyfb is disabled.

I attached the dmesg output, which shows some issues while scanning  
the of tree.

As I already told to Jurij, I face the same behavior, anyway it boots  
with video=atyfb:off as Jim Watson suggested.

Unfortunately it freezes later:

hda: cache flushes not supported
hda: hda1 hda2 hda3 hda4
hdc: max request size: 128KiB

then nothing.
Regs,
Ric

Hi,

Recently David Miller has posted a patch for clock problems with
SunBlade 100/150 and kernel 2.6.18. We already have one positive
report from Jim Watson, but it would be great if other people would
test it too, to make sure that there are no regressions. The kernel
packages are available from
