I installed this on an up-to-date Etch U1 (sun4u), and it boots until it'd like to mount the root-filesystem. Which fails, and if I'm not mistaken, because it hasn't loaded any SCSI-drivers (esp in the case of my U1). So I threw in yaird, which actually loaded scsi_mod, but still no esp, so I had to explicitly set "MODULE esp" in yairds config so that it would actually load esp and could go on booting. But this is probably a bug in mkinitrd/yaird instead of with the kernel-image (though mkinitrd worked ok with 2.6.8-2-sparc64). Anyway it should be fixed (or get a mention in the release notes) before a lot of U1 users are surprised. Otherwise, the 2.6.18 image seems to behave itself so far. cheers, &rw -- -- It is possible to watch Enterprise without buying the pyjamas. -- - Paul Mc Auley pgpRer2z14g9F.pgp Description: PGP signature

I've downloaded immediately linux-image-2.6.18-4-sparc64-smp_2.6.18.dfsg.1-9_sparc.deb and I'm using it on a blade 1000 with debian sid (regularly updated).

Please test the new kernel (2.6.18.dfsg.1-9)
Hi, A set of new kernel images has been uploaded to unstable a couple of days ago, including linux-image-2.6.18-4-sparc32_2.6.18.dfsg.1-9_sparc.deb linux-image-2.6.18-4-sparc64-smp_2.6.18.dfsg.1-9_sparc.deb linux-image-2.6.18-4-sparc64_2.6.18.dfsg.1-9_sparc.deb This kernel is likely to become the final kernel version for etch, so it is important to give it as much testing as possible at that point. If you have a chance, take it for a spin on all machines you have access to, and report the problems, if any.
