Re: Sun Blade 100 config
Hi, Also as the kernel loads I am gettings lots of lost interrupt for my HDD/CD. Try passing ide=nodma to the kernel. Olivier Hochreutiner - This mail sent through IMP: http://horde.org/imp/ - End forwarded message - - This mail sent through IMP: http://horde.org/imp/
Re: Sun Blade 100 config
Hi Ben, yes I have tried the string you give below (on a CD burnt at 4x) and I get the Fast MMU Miss error just after it says initializing RAMdisk prior to loading the kernel. So the only way I can get the kernel to boot at all is with your netiso image. I was on a much older version of the OBP and couldn't get anything to boot, went to the newest, can at least boot now. Does anyone have a suggestion for what version of the OBP I should be using? Is there anyway to get Debian installed using you netiso image? I just says I need to specify a valid root= (at the boot: prompt I have been typing /sparc64 ide=nodma) Thanks, Warren. - Original Message - From: Ben Collins [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Tuesday, November 5, 2002 5:57 pm Subject: Re: Sun Blade 100 config On Tue, Nov 05, 2002 at 04:32:01PM +1300, Warren Hughes wrote: Hi all, I am trying to get Woody running on my Sun Blade 100.

When you downloaded the patch, there were 2 versions on it. Just don't use the latest. -- Alvaro Figueroa
Re: Sun Blade 100 config
Legend! That did it, I can now actually boot bcollins netiso image. Still cant boot the debian install cd (cant find clock timer). Next thing; has anyone had any success getting the kernel to recognise a Sun Swift card (thats a pci card with a 10/100 NIC and SCSI); I have an external disk pack that I want to install Debian on so I can dual boot.

Sun Blade 100 config
Hi all, I am trying to get Woody running on my Sun Blade 100. I am having no end of problems. Have upgraded to the latest OBP/POST. It seems the only kernel I can get to boot (without MMU Miss problems) is: http://auric.debian.org/~bcollins/disks-sparc/3.0.23-2002-10-05/netinst.iso.bz2 at the end of the kernel load I get errors about needing a valid root= I have tried /sparc64 initrd=/root.bin (on the above ISO) but I always get MMU Miss when it tries to init the ramdisk prior to loading the kernel. As the kernel loads it looks like it inits a good ramdisk with no problems. Also as the kernel loads I am gettings lots of lost interrupt for my HDD/CD. My Sun Blade 100, is very standard 15GB HDD, 256MB RAM, standard in-built video card. Any Ideas? Thanks, Warren. P.S. Free Sun merchandise to the best helper ;-) begin:vcard n:Hughes;Warren tel;cell:+64 21 633324 tel;fax:+64 9 9775801 tel;work:+64 9 9775837 x-mozilla-html:FALSE org:SolNet Ltd version:2.1 email;internet:[EMAIL PROTECTED] title:Account Manager adr;quoted-printable:;;Sun Microsystems House=0D=0ALevel 1, 10 Viaduct Harbour Avenue=0D=0A;Auckland;;1001;New Zealand x-mozilla-cpt:;-14656 fn:Warren Hughes end:vcard
