Re: dazed and confused: install issue on Blade 1000
Hi Dirk, I didn't get any errors in the Xorg.0.log, but your suggestion worked, so I now have X working. I haven't got the resolution I want, but I can play with that. Onto the next problem: noisy fans... Thanks for the help - *much* appreciated.

I had the same difficulties you mentioned with my Blade 150 and the onboard graphic (yes, it's the same one). In my special case there was no modul mach64 because of security reasons in the debian netinstall kernel. I found a FATAL: Module mach64 not found. in /var/log/Xorg.0.log. I solved this by getting the sources form http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/linux-2.6.33.tar.bz2 building an new kernel with mach64 support an installing it on the blade 150.

Install problems on an Ultra 1 200E
I would like to install Debian linux on a Sparc box to help with some porting work I'm trying to do. I have a lifetime supply of retired Ultra 1's, so figured to install on one of those. While I installed Slackware on a PC maybe 12-14 years ago, this is my first stab at any Linux since then. But I've worked with Unix flavors (kernel/driver development, etc.) since the 1970's. So easy on the jargon, please. The install disk I downloaded was debian-504-sparc-netinst.iso. That's burned to CD. The box configuration is Ultra 1 200E, with 512 mb and a single Sun-barcoded 18 gb. disk. My thinking was to install to defaults so I could learn my way around the system. Everything went OK until it came to partitioning the disk. I didn't see any choices to run an fdisk or define the layout, and took the use the whole disk option. The partition failed, and after some jiggery-pokery, I gave up. I couldn't find a way to any disk utility to help me. Put this disk in slot 1, put a Solaris boot disk in slot 0, and discovered that my 18gb disk was now a 5 gb disk. Evidently, Debian rewrote the disk VTOC, changing it from 7608 cylinders to 2200. Right now I've recovered the disk by using Solaris utilities to rewrite the VTOC. But I'm very reluctant to try anything with an install that trashes a disk. In short, what do I do now?
