Re: No floppy drive in Debian-Sparc ???
It's for the SunBlade 100, you can see more about this on the list archives. It's not linux developers fault, it's Sun's fault. Greg I saw last nite while surfing the net on Debian and Linux on sparc that Greg someone mentioned that installing Debian on a Sparc leaves the floppy drive Greg unusable. I know this is true in OpenBSD-sparc, is this true of Greg Debian-sparc and in general of linux on sparcs ? I am using a SunBlade 100 Greg if that makes a difference.

Re: Memory issues E450
Hi, I'm having problems with an Enterprise 450, it shows the same error discussed on this thread: May 20 15:07:07 sirio kernel: CPU[1]: Correctable ECC Error AFSR[18810] AFAR[0f551f50] UDBL[dd] UDBH[1c8] May 20 15:07:07 sirio kernel: CPU[1]: UDBH Syndrome[3] Memory Module 190x My kernel info Linux sirio 2.4.18 #2 SMP Thu Dec 12 10:15:11 COT 2002 sparc64 unknown I ran test-all from the obp, but wasn't able to run test /memory from there. The machine shows this message, but usually doesn't freezes. Which other test would I run in order to get a clue? Thanks in advance Martin I don't know if there is a memtest for sparc, but the Sun hardware monitors Martin its memory all the time. Martin IIRC test /memory from OpenBoot should do the trick.

Re: Stability of Ultra-10 (440Mhz Ultrasparc-IIi, 256M of ram, 9G disk)
Hi, I have an U10 300Mhz 128 MB, with apache,zope, mailman,exim, postgresql and acting also as my dektop. The only thing I have to have is patience with the X. I forgot, sometimes I have to burn CDs there also. I think it's a kind of magic being able to have all those things, couldn't be done those things without people that help in this list :) It's been working a year, and the only problem I've had were problems related to mailman due to a crash of a server that had problems and sent a lot of email to my machine. I used RedHat, but Debian definitely beated it.

32 Vs. 64 bits
Hi everyone, It's just that I want to know where can I find documentation related to 64 bits on sparc and the applications running on 32 bits, I've heard some gossipes saying that Debian builds applications under 32 bits, what could be the gain in the 64 bits, would it be possible to build on 64 bits, what type of applications would be benefit from the 64 bits? Someone in the place I work, says that Solaris uses the 64 bit support but I've seen some info on ultralinux.org about some benchmarks on low level opperations on the kernel that show linux is faster than Solaris. Are there any other distribution on sparc architecture building eveything on 64 bits? Thanx in advance, I used RedHat before (A year or more ago), but Debian definitively is the one. -- --- Igor TAmara Pati~o http://www.tamarapatino.com/igor
Re: Woody on Ultra 10
You can try the kernel-image-2.4.18, I was using using kernel-image-2.2.20 and the problem was the same. When you install it, it just works.

Re: Creator 3D on Ultra10 447z monitor
Hi, I installed kernel 2.4.18 and it worked, a lot of thanks. On an Ultra10 in order to Creator 3D to work you need to install in woody kernel-image-2.4.18 , use sunffb and avoid dri. That's it. Again thanks. debian-sparc I'm running kernel 2.2.20-sun4u , I'll try 2.4.18-sun4u , to see if it debian-sparc works, I saw that Eduardo Mendes was running this kernel. debian-sparc debian-sparc I'll tell you about that. debian-sparc debian-sparc Thanx. -- --- Igor TAmara Pati~o http://www.tamarapatino.com/igor
