Re: CD Writer and SCSI adapter on Ultra5
In article [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Joshua Uziel) writes: What is the SCSI adapter tipically inside an Ultra 5? Which kind of SCSI support I should put in the kernel? Ultra 5's don't come with SCSI... they've got IDE only unless you have a SCSI controller added to it. To answer your question, it would matter on which SCSI controller (if any) you've added to it. You can use the NCR/Symbios/LSI chips 810a or 875 as they are supported by the PROM (Bios) of the Ultra 5's. Just get a cheap (PC) 875 PCI controller and remove the bios chip from the card (if possible). I tested it with a DawiControl controller. The 810a should work too as the Solaris driver supports it ... Rainer

I get this effect if I have mirrors listed as http sources as well as cdrom source listed in /etc/apt/sources.list I had the problem that the CD-ID (verylongstringwithfinal-2) is different depending on the kernel: After upgrading the kernel from Kernel 2.0 to 2.2 apt didn't recognized the CDs anymore (was updaing from Debian 2.0 to 2.2).

Re: Sound on U10?
In article [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Iggi) writes: The SYMBIOS SCSI controller was formerly known as NCR 8XX. So therefor if I correctly understand the HW compatibility list, it should be supported under Linux, but I will not be able to boot from it if I have no OBP firmware on that. The PROM of U5 has support for symbios SCSI controllers, at least for 875/876 chips. Solaris has support for the 810a so it might be supported by the PROM too. You should be able to boot from them (just pull out any bios on the SCSI cards). (the bigger SUNs with PCI (E250, E450) have an Symbios/ncr 875 or 876 on board) Rainer
