Yes, but simply installing Solaris emulation surely isn't going to get
it working.  (Of course it would be nice if someone _did_ manage to
make it work, at least running Debian.)

You need to populate /usr/gnemul/solaris from a Solaris distribution.

 Not completely sure what the 'Solaris Sparc' binary
 compatibility package would be called???

Set up the gnemul directory correctly (see fairly recent posts about
that) and just load the `solaris' module.

I doubt that's going to help much with the x86 card, though.

It is a SUN manufactured card that houses an Intel CPU so that I 
can run Windows NT Workstation :)

Solaris Debian ?

2002-11-02 Thread iudicium ferat

I am kind of wondering out loud -

debian:/home/sneex# man -k solar
README.solaris (1) [perlsolaris] - Perl version 5 on Solaris systems
perlsolaris (1)  - Perl version 5 on Solaris systems

Why would Solaris documentation be included on Debian?

Also, a real question :)  Can anyone tell me which of the following 
is the actual SunPCi (Intel CPU) card?


debian:/home/sneex# lspci
00:00.0 Host bridge: Sun Microsystems Computer Corp. Ultra IIi
00:01.0 PCI bridge: Sun Microsystems Computer Corp. Simba Advanced 
PCI Bridge (rev 13)
00:01.1 PCI bridge: Sun Microsystems Computer Corp. Simba Advanced 
PCI Bridge (rev 13)

01:01.0 Bridge: Sun Microsystems Computer Corp. EBUS (rev 01)
01:01.1 Ethernet controller: Sun Microsystems Computer Corp. Happy 
Meal (rev 01)
01:02.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc 3D Rage Pro 
215GP (rev 5c)

01:03.0 IDE interface: CMD Technology Inc PCI0646 (rev 03)
02:01.0 SCSI storage controller: LSI Logic / Symbios Logic 
(formerly NCR) 53c875 (rev 26)

02:03.0 Bridge: Digital Equipment Corporation DECchip 21554 (rev 01)

I know there is a SunPCi card in the system and I want to start 
hacking on it...

Re: Solaris Debian ?

2002-11-02 Thread iudicium ferat



All of the others are known hardware, so the only conclusion from
this list is:

The SunPCi card is behind the DEC 21554 bridge, i.e. on 02:03.0

There is little to figure about the card through this bridge,
you can get the datasheet from intel, but I doubt you will get
very far without aditional knowledge about the cards structure
(as busses and mappings are concerned).



Well, do you know where I can get one of:

debian:/usr/share/doc# find / -name gnemul -ls
debian:/usr/share/doc# find / -name ibcs2 -ls

Not completely sure what the 'Solaris Sparc' binary
compatibility package would be called???

I searched the Debian site packages (stable, test, and
even unstable), but the it lists 'ibcs' only...

I feel if I can hack on the card via the Solaris PC
software itself this will likely prove useful.  I
believe I need to tune in, turn on, or somehow
set-up Solaris Binary compatibility;

Thx/Sx  :]

File a bug on the perl-doc package.

Odd. Does the PCI Intel card communicate with the host via an ethernet
device? Or is this a second ethernet card in your system? If it's the
latter, than I don't see your PCI card.

No, the DEC 21554 is a general purpose PCI bridge, it is used in many
ethernet multiport cards, but it need not be ethernet...

Ok. I still wonder how this bridge interfaces with the x86 virtual
system. Would be an interesting project making that thing work.
