Woody doesn't support UltraSPARC III/IIIi I also had problem booting my Sun Blade 1000, and the phunnypharm image worked like a charm for me.

I have successfully connected to this box via serial cable. The only advantage I gain though that I can now log kernel messages. And the problem is still here: = Resetting ... TTYA not found.

Ok. Well. Thank you for your help - this key is really helped me to move forward but - nope - this is not enough. Now I have stuck with another problem - it can't find console so I did not see anything except of initial kernel messages. I tryed three images this time: woody tftp image (still same effect - junk spreading all over the screen with "memory address not aligned error finally"), sarge d-i tftp image and tftp image from http://www.phunnypharm.org/. The last two images worked slightly differently: phunnypharm image prints out "Warning: can't find initial console" and then hangs. d-i beta 3 waits a moment and then panics after two "unknown sparc instructions" and "attempt to kill init". I can not connect through serial cable since this box have no RS-232 port and I have no first woody CD image (some additional googling points that it may be working). So - can you give me your invaluable tip once more? :-) -- Respectfully Alexey Nezhdanov

Woody doesn't support UltraSPARC III/IIIi Nope that doesn't helped. I have tried several different methods - both cdrom and tftp boot but none worked. I have tried: 1) CDROM boot I have tried d-i image http://http.us.debian.org/debian/dists/testing/main/installer-sparc/current/images/cdrom-mini.iso Got: = Rebooting with command: boot cdrom Boot device: /[EMAIL PROTECTED],70/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/[EMAIL PROTECTED],0:f Dile and args: SILO Version 1.4.4 Fast Data Access MMU Miss ok == 2) tftp boot used images: http://http.us.debian.org/debian/dists/woody/main/disks-sparc/current/sun4u/tftpboot.img http://http.us.debian.org/debian/dists/testing/main/installer-sparc/current/images/sparc64/netboot/boot.img http://www.phunnypharm.org/pub/for/sparc-folks/disks-sparc/current/sparc64/tftpboot.img http://http.us.debian.org/debian/dists/stable/main/disks-sparc/current/sun4u/linux-a.out All results in approximately the same result BUT with some variations. The most strange is that variations belongs not to specific images but to some random cause - I mean I got different results on every next boot. So sometimes I got 1) Immediate error Rebooting with command: boot net:dhcp tftpboot.img Boot device: /[EMAIL PROTECTED],70/[EMAIL PROTECTED],1:dhcp File and args: tftpboot.img Timeout waiting for BOOTP/DHCP reply. Retrying ... 464c00 Memory Address not Aligned ok Fast Data AData access Error ok Fast Data Access MMU Miss ok 2) Some junk spreads over the top of screen and then hang with similar errors. You can see screenshot here: http://www.penza-gsm.ru/snake/debian/junk-and-mmu-miss.jpg In this case the computer hangs 3) Same as (2) but it not hangs but instead prints ever more jung on every kestroke. 4) (I have not seen this myself but it is the best result) === . Remapping kernel Booting Linux = and then it hanged. I have googled a lot and found many similar problems but no one solution. The most optimistic case was when someone got rid of it by simply recompiling the kernel "with several parameters changed" - so it will occassionally became "aligned" and booted up.

Can't install Debian on Sunblade2000
Hello. I have a question: is there are any specifics in booting Sun's Sunblade2000 ? It is a ultrasparc machine - I have downloaded the tftp install binaries for woody and sarge and sarge mini-cd.iso but have not succeeded. With cdrom install machine simply says "can not boot" and tftp way results either in "Remapping kernel" message (d-i beta3) or in "memory not aligned" message (woody's tftpboot.img) What can I try also? I'm downloading http://www.phunnypharm.org/pub/for/sparc-folks/disks-sparc/current/sparc64/tftpboot.img now but probably will try it only tomorrow. -- Respectfully Alexey Nezhdanov
