Oh Wow, people have actually gotten a PVR running using an ultra10!? Now
this is pretty cool, What other funkiness do you run into in regards to
the card? Or does it just work(tm)?

Re: Netra X1 strange lock up Debian 3.1, kernel 2.6.12.3
The box is up for weeks on end you say? But you have no swap added. Could it be linux's 2.6 MM refusing to spawn a new shell due to low mem? William Herrin wrote: I'm getting a wierd partial-lockup under Debian 3.1 (sarge) on a Netra X1 with a 2.6.11.3 kernel compiled fresh from the sources. The system will run fine for several weeks. Then it will refuse to run new shells. Running daemons will continue to run but an attempt to start a new shell will fail. I put some echos in /etc/profile to see where it stops. The login stops responding when running the "id -u" command in /etc/profile. When I remove that command it makes it to the end of /etc/profile but never starts $HOME/.profile. The other symptom is that the system clock jumps forward by 3 days, 6 hours, 11 minutes and 15 seconds. Every time. NTP is not running, nor is anything else that should modify the date.

Re: sun blade 100 hard disk
It's a 40GB drive. Take your model number, and do a google search. WD400BB-23DEA0 plus, WDC has a habbit of putting the actually drive size in the model number.

I never did any tricks with hdparm to set the DMA level or something. Things that come to mind: - do you use a proper cable? I'm not sure if it's an ATA66 or ATA100 controller in the blade 100, so I use an ATA100 cable to connect the 120 GB drive (20 GB still uses the default cable that came with the box). I'm not sure if ATA66 and ATA100 cables differ, but for at least ATA100 it is required that every signal wire has it's own ground wire iirc (thus, a 40 pin cable has actually 80 wires). - what filesystem do you use? I've read somewhere that there could be problems with Reiserfs on sparc, though I don't know any details. Admar There is also a strange thing.
