Re: updaing to grub on sparc64
If a solution is found for this xvr-100 to work properly, i will try again my xvr-300 on t5220 to confirm (as i also had driver issues, always stuck at vga, low colors). Thanks!

Re: GRUB testers on SPARC needed
Tested on a Sparc Ultra 10 workstation and it boots fine using your instructions. Had to use an image from 2016 as the newer ones from september and december 2017 did not work at all(both fail during installation).

Grub2 with sparc64 patches
Hi everyone, I made sure to install the correct version of this package as can be seen here; # apt-cache policy grub2 grub2: Installed: 2.02~beta3-3+sparc64 Candidate: 2.02~beta3-3+sparc64 Version table: *** 2.02~beta3-3+sparc64 500 500 http://deb.debian.org/debian-ports unreleased/main sparc64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 2.02~beta3-3 500 500 http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian-ports sid/main sparc64 Packages 500 http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian-ports unstable/main sparc64 Packages Then tried to install it (T5240, /dev/sdb1 (ext2) for /boot and /dev/sdb2 (ext4) for / ) # grub-install --boot-directory=/boot /dev/sdb Installing for sparc64-ieee1275 platform. grub-install: warning: Embedding is not possible. GRUB can only be installed in this setup by using blocklists. However, blocklists are UNRELIABLE and their use is discouraged.. grub-install: error: will not proceed with blocklists. Thanks to everyone involved!

Debian SPARC December 13 on t5240 notes (dual 8 core, 96gb ram) When booting from usb(tried multiple usb drives and cd's), the installer interface is corrupted, each line is offset and resizing the command line window makes it worse. During the manual partition setup, the partition size is already written but is invisible, it needs to be removed to successfully resize it. Install base system fails with this error │ The debootstrap program exited with an error (return value 1). │ │ The base system installation into /target/ failed. │ Installation step failed │ An installation step failed. You can try to run the failing item │ │ again from the menu, or skip it and choose something else. The│ My partition settings were; 1gb for /boot, 140gb for / and 5.8gb for swap Tried repartitioning and reinstalling base but always the same. also verified cdrom integrity and was valid. Below is the log which can be accessed by pressing CTRL-A.

Also no success yet with partman-zfs (tried setting up RaidZ2 on 7x 300gb drives, always fails). Thanks for all who works on this project!
