Re: [ss20]cdrom
All my CD's boot fine, it really look like a module isn't being loaded. As I say, Sarg loads fine. The installer starts, and then hangs when doing hardware detection for modules.

Re: [ss20]cdrom
I did modprobe esp and it didn't work. I remember in previous years that I had to insert esp and that was fine, so it sounds like you may be right. I am currently trying an install of netbsd :-(.

Re: [ss20]cdrom
Ludovic, That's interesting. Do you know where I can download an ISO that has the re-written module? I prefer debian, but at the moment, any linux would do. Many thanks, Chris.

The latest gregbeta release of splack should work. Be warned, however, that it is still in the beta stage and the non-usa keyboard mappings are broken. ftp://ftp.splack.org/pub/splack/gregbeta/bobware-10.2/iso/bobware-10.2.rc3.iso -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Fwd: [ss20]cdrom
Hi, all. I haven't tried the latest splack beta, so will download that. IWith regard to installing older version and upgradinggood idea, but...I installed Sarge, no probs. I then rebooted into my new system and got File does not appear executable at the OBP. Had this worked, then doing a dist-upgrade sounds like a lovely idea :-) Thanks, Chris. -- Forwarded message -- From: Martin [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: 18-Jul-2007 00:04 Subject: Re: [ss20]cdrom To: Debian Sparc debian-sparc@lists.debian.org On Tue, 2007-07-17 at 23:44 +0200, Frans Pop wrote: On Tuesday 17 July 2007 23:35, Ludovic Courtès wrote: Frans Pop [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: The daily built images of the installer for sparc [1] have kernel 2.6.20.

Can't boot any distro from SS20 CDROM
Hi, all. I've just got a _new_ SS20. Unfortunately, I'm unable to boot from the CDROM, to do an installation. I did do a _probe-scsi_ and that told me that I have 2 HDD's and a Toshiba CDROM as _target 6_. When I boot, there is a message saying that my CDROM has more than one alias (or something like that). Can anyone help me set this up correctly, so that I can install Etch? Many thanks, Chris.
