As far as I know, no. You can do a lot with the debian and solaris
installers though. The Solaris installer has X I think.

Who is actively porting the Debian architectures?

2006-12-25 Thread Frans Pop
(BCCed to d-ports)

Hello,

We received a BR that the list of porters for PowerPC on the Organization 
webpage [1] was outdated. However, this seems to be true for most ports.

Please reply to debian-www@lists.debian.org with an updated list of active 
porters for your port after discussing changes on your port list.

The current list is:
Alpha --  
  member Ivan E. Moore III 
  member Christopher C. Chimelis 
AMD64 --  
  member Frederik Schüler <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 
  member Kurt Roeckx <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 
ARM --  
  member Philip Blundell 
  member Othmar Pasteka 
i386 --  
  member James Troup <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 
  member Roman Hodek <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 
  member Ryan Murray <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 
IA-64 --  
  member Bdale Garbee 
  member Matthew Wilcox 
  member Randolph Chung 
m68k --  
  member Roman Hodek 
  member Christian T. Steigies 
  member Michael Schmitz 
  member Adam Conrad 
  member Stephen R. Marenka 
  member Wouter Verhelst 
MIPS --  
  member Ryan Murray 
  member Guido Günther 
PA-RISC --  
  member Bdale Garbee 
  member Matthew Wilcox 
  member Randolph Chung 
PowerPC --  
  member Daniel Jacobowitz 
  member Martin Schulze 
  member Hartmut Koptein 
S/390 --  
  member Gerhard Tonn 
SPARC/UltraSPARC --  
  member Ben Collins 
  member James Troup 
SuperH -- <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

I would suggest at least the following changes:
Alpha: add Steve Langasek
ARM: add Martin Michlmayr
HPPA: add Kyle McMartin
IA-64: add Dann Frazier
MIPS: add Thiemo Seufer
PowerPC: add Sven Luther and Bastian Blank
Sparc: add Jurij Smakov
S/390: add Bastian Blank

Note: you may also wish to review and update the port pages under [2].

Cheers,
FJP

I had the same problem installing on an ultra 10. It worked when I 
installed sarge instead of etch. Then I upgraded from within the vserver

Problems booting Sun Blade 100

2006-12-25 Thread Holger Wansing
Hi all,

I would be appreciated if someone could give me some help:

There is an installation report (please refer to
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=402282
for detailed info) on a Sun Blade 100 machine.

This machine doesn't boot with recent daily builds of the
debian-installer (2.6.17 or 2.6.18 kernels). Boot up hangs
at "Booting linux ..".

Frans Pop suggested to try with boot argument
"video=atyfb:off", but the bugreport submitter wrote me,
that he is unable to give additional boot parameters, because
he don't know where the cursor actually is and there are messed
up characters on the screen.
(I am partly unsure about what he's talking, he is not very
precise with his comments and his english is a problem as well, 
I think. As I don't own a sparc machine, I cannot try this out.)


This machine contains Openfirmware, correct?

Are there problems known ahout this (messed up display etc.)?

Can someone give me instructions how to add additional boot
parameters to that machine? Are there any special things to
note?



Thanks a lot

Holger
