Re: Sun 1 gb dual s/bus fibre card X6757A (375-3048)
Pat, Thanks for the response. Unfortunately, I posted the card's id incorrectly. I subsequently requested information on 540-2989 which Chris responded to in like fashion, to whit: This is a FC-100 card which uses the FCAL driver. The FC and FCAL drivers have not worked since 2.2.x and are currently unmaintained. It sounds like a similar story to yours. Q. Have you heard a similar progress story on this as well? (I run debian on all my Sun hardware except the Sparcserver which is using the fibre channel. Unhappily, I have to run Solaris on this as it's the only o/s with drivers to my knowledge) Thanks John On 5/25/06, Patrick Finnegan [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:On Tuesday 16 May 2006 08:25, john hedge wrote: Hi List, Does anyone know if there's a driver for these cards and if there is directions would be appreciated.

Sorry list. I've been informed by the supplier that the part number is 540-2989 - FC-AL SBus card.

vfc_dev.c errors compiling 2.4.21 on ultra1
I found Jesse Goerz/Kevin McKinleys Creating Custom Kernels with Debians Kernel-Package System a great help. So far the only thing Ive needed to do was replace gcc with egcs64. The rest of the instructions worked like a charm. (I hit a small arlan.o error but removing the offending module/driver from menuconfig fixed it.) My brick wall/challenge this time is vfc_dev.c errors (Driver for the Videopix Frame Grabber) but I cannot find the offending driver in menuconfig to remove it. Can someone give me a helping hand? TIA John
arlan.o error 1 when compiling 2.4.21 on ultra 1
I realise this has something to do with compiling this kernel on a 64 bit machine but how do I go round it? What is the arlan.o module that Ive included but shouldnt have? Thanks John
apt-get install kernel-source-2.4.21
Im trying to upgrade my kernel for the first time on an Ultra 1. Im told from googling that I should start by using the above command but Im not getting past first base; nothing happens! My source.list is pointing to my local Debian mirror. Have I missed something? John
Re: apt-get install kernel-source-2.4.21
Thanks Steven. I hadn't thought of that. John On Sun, 2003-07-06 at 23:20, Steven Wilcoxon wrote: You need to first need /etc/apt/sources.list to have an entry for the unstable version. The apt-get will be able to get the source to 2.4.21. I suggest you comment that entry out once you get it to prevent accidentally getting too much from unstable accidentally.

mangle error using Shorewall v 1.4.5 on kernel 2.4.18-bf2.4-sun4u
Ive installed Shorewall on my Ultra1 running Woody (2.4.18-bf2.4-sun4u). Im getting the following error message when I try to start Shorewall: can't initialize iptables table `mangle': Table does not exist (do you need to insmod?) Perhaps iptables or your kernel needs to be updated. (The version of iptables is the latest for Woody; i.e. 1.2.6a-5) Is iptables built into this kernel or do I need to insmod or is there another issue underlying this error message? Thanks, John
Re: Sparc 5 Debian Install Question
try 'disk' btw the sun site has heaps of info on bootprom. John On Mon, 2003-06-30 at 04:31, David Demland wrote: I have a Sparc 5 that I am trying to install a Debian Linux on. At the EPROM Prompt I type in boot cdrom. This boots from the CD just fine. The very first thing the SILO ask is to boot from SCSI, IDE, or Other. The SCSI and IDE do not boot. This leaves me with the Other option. My question is what is the device name I need to use as the boot command? I am typing in the boot command linux root=/dev/scd6 and this does not seem to work.

change eth0 to eth2 on a multi-homed ultra 1
This comes under the heading of 'nice to have' so I wouldn't want anyone to break stride in answering this problem but maybe someone has trodden this path before! I have a multi-homed U1. 1 motherboard 10 base T nic (eth2; Lance) and two additional 100 base T nics (eth0 eth1; both Happy Meal). I would like the 10 base T eth2 to be eth0. How do I achieve this small miracle, please? (From Googling it seems that it might have something to do with modules.conf and aliasing but the only examples I can find differentiate the cards by their drivers.) John
Re: video drivers
Steven, Your U1 and mine have similar graphic cards. I ended up taking the card out of the box and getting the sun number off the back of it and 'googling'. The Sun site told me the type of card and another Google confirmed that the required driver was the suncg6. Thx for the hint.
