I just filed an RC bug. It will probably take a while for BTS to 
process it though.

That is not really an option. The 2.6.18 kernel is scheduled for release 
with Etch.
What needs to happen is that the bug is fixed in 2.6.18 in Debian before 
the release. For that it would be good if an RC bug was filed against 
linux-2.6.

I see that the issue is already being worked on by Jurij with the upstream 
Sparc kernel maintainer:

Yeah, I was convinced i did a dist-upgrade but not :)
Now I've upgraded from 2.6.8 to 2.6.18 but I get this error if I  
boot with the new image:


NVRAM: Low battery voltage!

Boot with 2.6.8 is ok.
As far as I can see, this message is in time.c from kernel

I can confirm this on my SunBlade 100 too. It appeared in 2.6.17.  
Last known-to-work version is 2.6.16 even if I can't make the aty  
framebuffer work again when compiling with gcc-4.1 (which, BTW, is  
default for sid as of now).


I've tried to bypass the check of NVRAM by comment the functions in  
time.c and removing all the references.
This time freezes in "Booting Linux", it seems those functions are  
mandatory.

I've attached the commented lines.
If everyone is experiencing issues with those kernel releases, maybe  
it's better to remove them from unstable.

With 2.6.18-1 I get the same error message on my sunblade 100,
mailed http://lists.debian.org/debian-sparc/2006/10/msg00032.html

what is in your /etc/fstab ?
devfs style naming ? 

Where does the boot halt? right where the root filesystem should be mounted ? 
does /dev have static entries or was it an empty dir because devfs was 
creating them ? 


boot with an install cd to find out if /dev/* entries for your hardware exist 
or if you know they do then boot with kernel parameter init=/bin/bash and 
then  'mount -o remount,rw  /' to edit your fstab.

Lastly does that kernel have an initrd, does it need drivers loaded for ide?
This is all the things I would be looking at in your situation, as I don't 
have an uptodate debian sparc box to check any of these things, my entire 
email might be sending you in the wrong direction.

The box was installed almost 3 years ago.
It was installed using netboot.
It was installed using woody, then upgraded to sarge.
Some time after that it was upgraded to etch.

To intall the kernel i tried:

aptitude install linux-image-2.6.17-2-sparc64

Aparently all is ok, but at boot time fails :(

It complains about the hdd device.

something about diferences of /dev/hda and
/dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part5

I don't remmember exactly and i don't have the box
right here, till monday i go to work.

Thanks.

The latest kernel version in unstable is 2.6.18. You do know that the kernel 
packages got renamed from kernel-image to linux-image at some point, right? :-).

What version of the installer and what installation method you are using, and 
what 
specific errors are you getting?

Hi!

Does anyone have a blade 150 with kernel 2.6 running?

If so, how?

I can't boot on 2.6 kernels, just 2.4 (currently using

I'm using etch.
