My Ultra/1 updated very nicely this way but the firmware for my Netra
t1/105 isn't bootable apparently, and it only comes in a shell script.
So I want to install Solaris on the Netra if the esp driver can work in
linux again so I can move what runs on the Netra now to the Ultra/1.

esp_scsi in the debian installer
Hi, I thought the esp scsi driver was supposed to be fixed in 2.6.23 or 2.6.24, but on my Ultra/1 it isn't working with todays daily build of the netboot installer. Attached are the debug logs. Has anybody had this working? Thanks.

esp_scsi in the installer doesnt' detect disks
Hi, I tried to use the 2007-10-16 daily build installer on my Ultra/1 and esp_scsi does not detect my drives and the 2007-06-15 installer does detect. When the installer gets to detecting disks, it loads all the ide modules but not scsi and console 4 says "Missing Modules 'ide-core (Linux IDE support), esp (ESP SCSI), usb-storage (USB storage), floppy (Linux floppy), ide-floppy (Linux IDE floppy)". Then it probes the floppy drive. If I load esp_scsi, either on the commandline or in the disk not detected dialog, then scsi_mod and scsi_transport_spi are also loaded, but still no drives are detected. Loading sd_mod or sr_mod doesn't detect anything either. Is anybody else having problems with the esp driver in the installer? Also, with the 2007-06-15 it won't let me install testing or unstable because no modules are available matching the kernel in that installer. Is that the latest lenny installer thats not the daily build? Thanks, Nick Schmalenberger -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

802.1q on sunhme
list, I would like to get vlan trunking working with my quadfastethernet card and I have seen conflicting statements on whether or not my card is capable of it and whether or not problems are simply in the driver. This page: http://linux.box.sk/newsread.php?newsid=1148 says: David S. Miller: * [SUNHME]: Set RXMAX/TXMAX large enough to handle VLAN frames * [NET]: Ok, sunhme is VLAN challenged after all and in linux-2.6.20.6/drivers/net/sunhme.c it says: /* Happy Meal can do it all... except VLAN. */ dev->features |= NETIF_F_SG | NETIF_F_HW_CSUM | NETIF_F_VLAN_CHALLENGED; On the other hand, http://www.candelatech.com/~greear/vlan/howto.html says it is mostly driver problems and there are kernel patches which I assume have been merged by now, although I don't see one for sunhme. This page from openbsd: http://osdir.com/ml/openbsd.sparc/2003-06/msg00028.html says the chip does support the bigger frames and the (openbsd) driver just needs to be fixed. So can somebody confirm whether or not 802.1q works on the happy meal chip and if the linux driver can be fixed? Vlan support would be very useful with the quadfastethernet card for sparcstation routers.

It makes me sad but I can accept this. I have three sparc32s and was planning on installing debian one of the others but now I will probably do openbsd or netbsd, I alread have openbsd on the third sparc32. I also have one sparc64 (ultra30)that I can run debian on, but it is much louder than the sparc32s, so I prefer them.
