Install Hangs
I am trying to reinstall Debian on a Sun Netra X1 server. The problem is, when I get to the install base system portion, the installer gets to about 6% and then it hangs. I have to power off the server and then start over again. Sometimes I will also get a file corrupt error. I have checked the CD-ROM, but it checks out. I have re-burnt the CD, and I have even tried a version of Ubuntu server, same results. In addition I have tried a different CD-ROM drive, but I get the same results. Any ideas?

Re: Sun Netra X1 Networking
Thank you Jurij! Now I just have to figure out how to automatically get a dhcp address from my eth1 port. Thanks again, - Chris Burwell Jurij Smakov wrote: Hi, If you are using udev to manage your kernel modules (default way in Debian), you can blacklist undesired modules and they are not going to be automatically loaded. For example, to prevent loading of dmfe module you can create a file (arbitrarily named) with contents blacklist dmfe in the /etc/modprobe.d directory. Then udev should only match the tulip driver to your hardware and hopefully everything will work properly.

Re: Sun Netra X1 Networking
Daniel, Through searching this list by way of Google (after the local search did not work), I found my answer. The problem seems to be that both the dmfe and tulip modules are being loaded. I can solve this problem by issuing the following commands (using sudo): modprobe -r dmfe modprobe -r tulip modprobe tulip dhclient eth1 My next question is how do get this done automatically at system start. I thought adding the following to modules.conf would be my ticket: pre-install tulip modprobe -r dmfe; modprobe -r tulip install module tulip post-install tulip dhclient eth1 This does not yield the results that I want. I am not familiar with the modules.conf file, but based on it's man page it seemed to be what I needed. Is there something that I can do to unload both the dmfe and tulip modules, reload the tulip module, and then get a dynamic IP for eth1 (all at system start)? I am new to Linux (I have been playing with it for a bit over a year, and using it seriously for a few months). This is my first journey into the world of Sun servers and the SPARC architecture as well. Thank you for your help! - Chris Burwell Daniel van Eeden wrote: Chris, Do you have the latest Flash PROM? (patch 111952 for more info) Does it work with Solaris? (you could try a Nexenta CD) Cheers, Daniel -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Sun Netra X1 Networking
I have successfully (I think) installed Debian (etch release) on a Sun Netra X1. The problem is that I am unable to get either of the Ethernet ports to work properly. If I issue the command: sudo ifconfig eth0 up, I get the following error: eth0: Tx timeout - resetting SABRE0: PCI SERR signal asserted. SABRE0: PCI bus error, PCI_STATUS[caa0] I have tried running the command: sudo modprobe tulip. In addition to that I have added alias eth0 tulip to my /etc/modprobe.d/alias file. Nothing I have tried so far has worked! Please help! Thank you! -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
