 Jurij,
 
 This works on my sunblade100, ( as before, it needs  video=atyfb:off )
 

How do you pass this parameter? i tried `expert video=atyfb:off` and it
failed.

When the system is powered on, look for the SILO message then hold  
down the tab key and it will stop with a list of available kernels  
and the boot: prompt. Assuming you want the default kernel labeled  
Linux, type as below after the boot prompt and hit enter:


boot: Linux video=atyfb:off

I suppose this could be configured in /boot/silo.conf too...

Hi. I'm trying to install off a daily (last few days[0]), so i dont
think silo config is an option(?).
Unfortunately i still get the same error. [1]
The error is as follows (sorry about any line breaks):

Allocated 8 Megs of memory at 0x4000 for kernel
Loaded kernel version 2.6.18
Loading initial ramdisk (3923248 bytes at 0x2F802000 phys, 0x40C0
virt ) ...
Illegal Instruction
ok op-0

This is the same error as before the new kernel.

ps. (for the archives, Linux is not an option. install expert rescue
auto are).

Sun PGX64 Video questions

2007-02-08 Thread Earl Violet
I have a Sun Ultra 60 running ETCH connected to my gdm20d10 monitor.

I have a TATUNG Comp 10 I would like to add to my network. The TATUNG
has a Creator 3D card. I have a PGX64 card I would like to put in the
TATUNG so I can run it through my KVM using my Gateway VX900 monitor.
From what I can find thee PGX64 and the VX900 are compatible.

I am 60 years old and would like to avoid crawling under my desk to
change monitor hook-ups if possible.

My questions are: 

If I remove the Creator card and put the PGX64 in my TATUNG, will the
card find and set itself to the monitor so I don't have problems with
the initial Sun boot display or will the Sun boot display attempt to
boot into 1152x900 which isn't supported by the monitor? 

If there is no answer to the above question, am I endangering my
monitor if I try this?

Earl

Hi Rocco. I had a similar problem when I tried to install on my blade 1000,
looking on internet I found a very, very useful how-to (http://doownek.org)
and using it I was able to install all without problems. Problems came
after, when I tried to use the graphic card and other blade's
characteristics (but this is another story ...).
Look for it and use it. I think that you'll be able to start without
problems.
Cheers
Antonio

Ultra Enterprise 3000k Installation

2007-02-08 Thread Nathan Sprangers

I can't get the installer to work on this server. With 3.1, the installer
simply cannot find the CD drive. The scsi driver, esp, is loaded. I believe
the cd-rom should be at scsi ID 6, I don't know how to tell the installer to
look here though.

I also tried with a debian testing install CD. I get a kernel panic in this
case:

Kernel panic: esp_handle: current_SC == penguin within interrupt!

Is there a way to get more information?

This corresponds to a block of code around line 4243 of the esp.c driver:
http://www.gelato.unsw.edu.au/lxr/source/drivers/scsi/esp.c#L4243

I don't know what to do about these problems. I've currently got Solaris 10
installed, but Debian would be preferrable.

Thanks,
Nathan
