arm*/mips*/s390x woes

2018-06-17 Thread Clint Adams
We seem to be stalled on these two major blockers:

hackage-security: broken on mips/mipsel - could be fixed via 
 cryptohash-sha256 (#899166) or alternately patching to build
 with cryptohash or cryptonite?

pandoc: broken on armhf (due to GHC bug?) and mips and s390x
 (via cmark-gfm being broken on those architectures)

BREAK is an RS-232 signal that you'd send over the serial console.  (I am
assuming here that you've been instructed to use SysRq functionality
after a crash).  To do it at the keyboard, try Alt+Stop+p.  If you have

If you can't switch the Sun to the alternate break sequence, then send a

You can start by setting up your own private infrastructure for a new
sparc32 architecture, pointing a couple of buildds at it, and note what
breaks.

You will need to patch gcc and glibc for your new architecture, as you
will need to build for sparcv7 or sparcv8, and we are switching to build
for sparcv8plus, as we are targetting ultrasparcs only.  Once you have
your unofficial port established, it shouldn't be difficult to get
sparc32 support into the official packages.

Then you can do whatever needs to be done with the kernel.  It would be
nice to have things working on all sun4c, d, and m machines.

Hope this helps.

Re: Dropping sparc32 for lenny

 Perhaps I'm missing something in the big picture, but isn't the only 
 difference between debian-sparc and debian-sparc64 the kernel?  The userland 
 is 32bit in both.

Almost.  For etch we had somewhat of an embarrassing situation as a few
released packages won't work on 32-bit SPARC processors.  We have no
mechanism to alert or prevent users from installing them where they
won't work, and no one working to re-add support for older CPUs.
For more information, see http://wiki.debian.org/Sparc64Only

If we change the toolchain to default to compiling V8plus code, we will
once again have consistency in the sparc port.  Then if there are people
interested in maintaining a separate sparc32 port, with or without
fixing the packages which won't build, they could do so.  I am not
interested in doing so.

 can you give more info about the crash, where it occurs in building

I'm told that it usually occurs while doing the dpkg -i of the
build-deps, and possibly most recently while dpkg was installing
debconf-i18n.

 I am continually building the upstream version of openoffice.org on sparc64
 (sunblade 100, NOT SMP), maybe I can look for some clue that helps, such as
 warning message, relevant code or something?

I don't think it's anything specific to the build itself.  I am unable
to reproduce any such crash with a single-proc machine, but if you can,
that would provide another data point.

Another possible way to reproduce the crash would be to set up buildd
and have it rebuild the entire archive.

Re: building slrn on sparc

 In fact, this behavior comes from a desire to do the right thing
 when building and bootstrapping gcc.  GCC's bootstrap process expects
 that if the build/host system is sparc64-* that the system compiler,
 as well as the GCC binary produced by the gcc build itself, will both
 produce 64-bit executables by default.  If this is not the case, the
 GCC bootstrap will flat out fail.

still returning 'sparc', and everything behaved exactly the way I wanted
it to.

 Since they introduced 64-bit userland support, from the beginning.

There are no downsides to disabling it forever.  It merely tells the
stupid gcc wrapper to not behave inconsistently and unexpectedly.  You
can achieve a similar effect by removing /usr/bin/gcc and replacing it
with a symlink to /usr/bin/gcc-3.3, which is what is done on every
other Debian architecture.

gcc's default behavior still allows you to compile 64-bit objects and

environmental monitoring

2003-12-23 Thread Clint Adams
On a Netra t1 105, it is possible to use the envctrl kernel module
to read the CPU temperature.  Is this possible with a Netra T1 AC200?

 Not currently.

What needs to be done to adapt the driver?

 Umm, the Netra T1 doesn't have an envctrl -- or a SUNW,rasctrl on an
 ebus.

I don't think that's important; all I want is the CPU temperature.

This is from a 105 (where the linux 2.6.0 envctrl module works):

 or am I going mad? hmm.

Yes, sorry; I meant to type true.

 My both cards have the same MAC address, i've read somewhere that it is
 normal (both card have the station MAC address) but none of my cards

This is usually a bad idea.  You can fix this by setting
local-mac-address?=false in the prom.



Re: Confusion about 32/64-bit user space

2002-08-20 Thread Clint Adams
 Why? If you are refering to the ioctl's not being translated yet, then
 you are incorrect. What you need is for the ioctl's to be translated in
 arch/sparc64/kernel/ioctl32.c.

Yes, and pending that, you need to compile the program 64-bit for it to
function properly.



Re: 2.3.6 boot images with newer kernels (sb1000 please read)

2001-06-27 Thread Clint Adams
 Even if you don't try the install, could some blade 1000 users atleast
 try booting the sun4u/linux-a.out images and report success or failure
 just booting the system?

I can boot tftpboot.img, and the installer will come up.
Also, I can boot the system with linux-a.out.



Re: Ultra5 - Potato - Multiple HME Interfaces

 ifconfig eth0 ether xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
 
 not do what you want?

True.  This seems to render the interface useless
(unless ether is equal to the MAC on the primary)



Re: Ultra5 - Potato - Multiple HME Interfaces

2001-02-20 Thread Clint Adams
  I understand that when loading the sunhme module, the kernel may retrieve
  the MAC addr from openboot. Openboot seems to only know the addr for the
  primary (built-in) card.
  
  Has anyone else experienced this? Did I miss a line on the webpage that
  describes how to get around this?
 
 That's how suns behave. You can change it in openboot with
 setenv local-mac-address? if memory serves well...

Or with /usr/sbin/eeprom.  Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to make a damn bit
of difference with 2.2.18.

 www.xfree86.org doesn't seem to say anything at all about Sun
 drivers.

On a vaguely related note, is there a way other than gpm to get
sunmouse support under X4?



Re: Woody: zsh-3.1.9-4: missing contents of /usr/lib/zsh/3.1.9?

2000-06-24 Thread Clint Adams
 I've just upgraded my SS10 to the latestgreatest packages in Woody, and it
 seems the zsh package is missing a bunch of .so's.
 
 The Intel package seems to contain all the dynamically-loaded shared
 objects that implement most of zsh's functionality, but the SPARC package
 seems to be not only missing the files but the functionality, too.
 
 What is the procedure when one platform's port of a package is
 broken?  Should one file a bug against the package?  Is there some other,
 more appropriate forum to raise issues like this?

Definitely file a bug.
