Sarge does not boot on Sun4d - this looks like a SILO issue, but I could be wrong. My SS1000E has never booted from a SILO CD correctly, but it does boot from a TILO tftpboot image for Splack and it does boot a Solaris CD.

Re: Sarge Release Notes - Architecture specific news?
Fisrt statment : I am sorry for my bad english. I was installing a sarge on a BS/150 (XVR500 3D Wilcat, 600MHz/512Mo 40GoHD+DVDROM) througt DHCP (boot image 2.6, builded 7mar.2005). I suffered framebuffer bug that I solved by umounting the 3D accelerator card (fb on ATI Rage is OK). Later installation frozen on ide-cd module insertion. I unmounted again the DVDROM to solve problem. In use, ide-cd module still froze at insertion. But I will not use 3D Accel nor DVDROM on exploitation: The system is a SSH/SFTP data server and works fine in actual testing phase. ~40Mbit/s total bandwith against 4 PC doing SFTP upload/Download with compression: Not too bad without dedicated cypher card.

More kernel work is required. Have you directly tested = 2.4.27 ? Last time I checked everything from about 2.4 onwards was kinda broken. There is a fix for the 2.2.20 kernel to get SMP working on machines with uniform clock speeds (IIRC each board must have consistant speed processors but it can vary between boards). In the past there has been quite a bit of interest on this list about resurrecting sun4d support, all that appears to be missing is someone to co-ordinate the effort. When I tested it woody did not run 'out of the box' on sun4d. I do not know of anyone trying sarge. HTH Cheers, - Martin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

When I tested it woody did not run 'out of the box' on sun4d. I do not know of anyone trying sarge. All of my work was done in Splack, rather than Debian. Looking at my notes - Sun4d UP needs my patches which are in 2.4.29 Sun4d SMP is still broken, and fixing it is beyond my skills. There are 2 known issues, possibly related. 1) Serial console corruption 2) SMP instability seems to be IRQ related I will try Sarge in the next few days and report back, but I suspect that I will need to upgrade to 2.4.29 or later.
