The errors went away as soon as I compiled a custom kernel with the disk driver statically included.

Re: sarge install on Ultra 10
The linux kernel is actually able to read the solaris disklabel, you can event mount your ufs partitions read only. Maybe you are hitting this bug : http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=273062 The Ultra 5/10 have an IDE CMD646 chipset. The bug reports says the message is scary but installation possible though. Emmanuel Louie, Steven a écrit : thanks for the info, Emmanuel yes, the Ultra 10 ready has Solaris 9 on it and there is no disk problem or anything like that. I thought the issues may be the Debian installer could not read the disk label / vtoc or something like that (I tried 2 Ultra 10 and 1 Ultra 5, same errors). This is the 1st time I tried Debian (Lunix) so I am new to this process. However, when you were installing woody, did you boot it from a fully bootable CD, did you reconfigure / change anything on the Ultra before you install Debian ? thanks again for your help cheers -Original Message- From: Emmanuel Ka [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, September 29, 2005 2:29 PM To: Louie, Steven Cc: debian-sparc@lists.debian.org Subject: Re: sarge install on Ultra 10 Hello I use sarge with an Ultra 10 without problem.

Install on Ultra 10
Hello folks. I am having some trouble installing debian on an ultra 10 and an ultra 5. When I try to install Potato from cd, the installation goes smoothly, until it's time to reboot. At this point, the machine (both) begins to boot and never get's past writing SI (from SILO) on the screen. I get the same results when I try to boot from a woody boot floppy. Both machines have OpenBoot version 3.19. Does anyone have any ideas ?

install on Ultra 10
I have downloaded the woody floppy images for sun4u architecture and dd'd them on 1.44 floppies. I am reasonably sure the floppies are good - in any case, after the dd, I did a cmp and it succeeds (no differences). After booting into Solaris (SunOS 5.8) I hit Stop-A and get the boot prompt. I insert the floppy and say "boot floppy". The floppy drive makes spinning-up noise ... and I get this: Bad magic number in disk label The installation manual mentions disk labels, but in the context of partitioning, so I took it to apply only to hard disk partitions.
