 Usually, this signals that you have bad memory.

I'm not currently playing with my Sparcs, but I had the very same and it
was, for sure, kernel version dependand.

I'm not 100% sure there, but IIRC, this was introduces with the patch
between 2.4.0-test11 and 2.4.0-test12, there were changes to
linux-2.4.0-test12/arch/sparc/mm/init.c,
linux-2.4.0-test12/arch/sparc/mm/srmmu.c and
linux-2.4.0-test12/include/asm-sparc/atops.h .

I'm missing time to really check this, but if anybody had some, there's
the hint:)

MfG, JBG

Re: Curious problem with a Sparc 20

2003-07-15 Thread W
Okay, I'm back. I had to take care of buisness.

A thought suddenly occured to me that I should try to reload Debian.
So I did and the message is no more. Apparently it was a bad load.

I now have a new problem. I was playing around with the Openboot 
settings and I set the boot-file parameter to vmlinuz and now it says that 
vmlinuz is in valid arg. How can I reset the Openboot settings back to factory 
setting. The boot-file parameter is blank in the default column. Surely 
there is a way.  Yep I kind of goofed it up!

 What version of Debian did you install? Do you know which kernel version
 was installed?

 Does it not even get to the SILO prompt on reboot? Also, paste your
 partition map.

 This system has a 5x86 SunPc Accelerator card in it.
 I pulled it out but it made no differences.
 (Sun # 501423003429)
 
 This system has two 75 MHZ SuperSparc II CPU cards
 in it. (If this makes a differences)

I had this a while ago. It turned out that one of the CPUs was dead.
Try booting with only one CPU installed. Then try the other one. be
careful to place them in the correct slot (I believe the lower one, but
I'm not sure)

Frank

 This system has turned out to be a disappointment
 so far.
 
 Thanks in advance for any help, pointers, and comments
