Eh? Not sure what you mean here... Please elaborate (so I'm warned :).
What I DO know about the STOP-A is that it very often freezes (with the
stock kernels - I found a patch that fixes that) and you often can't do
a reboot correctly.
Doing a 'shutdown -r now' will work ONCE, but the second time the kernel
freezes and invoking STOP-A won't work. NOT even via serial which is the
only way for me to control the machine other than network.
Sometimes it hung when mounting /dev and trying to reboot didn't work
either... As said, there's a whole _BUNCH_ of problems with the B1k...
Most of them is fixed with a couple (five or six I think it was) external
patches ('hacks' as the SPARC developers/maintainer(s) refer to them as :).

Re: The file just loaded doesn't appear to be executable
>>>>> "Turbo" == Turbo Fredriksson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: Turbo> Am I really booting from the correct device!? Sorry for wasting bandwidth! If anyone of you meets me in person, tell me I'll need public spanking :) I discovered this roughly 20 seconds after sending the mail. I WASN'T booting from the right device. I had mixed up raid0 and raid1 (it should have been the other way around), so the boot record wasn't where it should (actually it was, but not where I was looking... That's even confusing to me :). Anyway, I managed to get it booting. Sorry again for the bandwidth...
The file just loaded doesn't appear to be executable
I'm trying to get my Blade1000 (UltraSPARC-III/2x750MHz) to boot
from the external disk cabinet (MultiPack 12).
There's a Debian GNU/Linux installation on sda (the internal FC
disk), but that's to be used solely as a development platform
in a chroot (don't have to machines, and I don't want to 'clutter'
the system with development stuff).
I managed to RAID6 a bunch of the disks and that's to be used
as the root FS (including /usr, /tmp and what have you).
BUT, since I need to boot from a non-raid'ed disk (since the
openprom don't understand /dev/md/X :), I created a /boot as
the first partition on the first (external) disk - sdb. This
partition starts at block 1 (so that mke2fs won't overwrite
the partition table), and partition 2 is part of the MD (type:fd).
Then there's the 'Whole disk' which starts at block 0...
When I run silo under strace, I see that silo DO write the
'boot record' (?) on sdb3...
The problem is that when I try to boot it, I get the message
"The file just loaded doesn't appear to be executable."...
I've tried "boot raid" and "boot raid:c" but neither work
(see attachment)...
Am I really booting from the correct device!?
Booting from the internal FC disk ("boot disk") work like
a charm. I've had to add an entry in that disks silo.conf
so that I can get the RAID up and running. But this will
"break" sooner than later (I'll just forget and update
the wrong kernel location etc :). The "correct" way in
my eyes is to make it boot from sdb, not sda with a
"pointer" to sdb...
disk firmware upgrading from Linux?
