PROM installing woody on a SPARC running potato
Hello Debian SPARC folk, First a trivial question: can a flag be set so that the PROM in an old SPARC 2 (ROM Rev. 2.4.1) automatically goes into new mode rather than prompting with Type b (boot), c (continue), or n (new ...? In the manual, _Installing Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 For SPARC_, I see section 3.7 Installing Debian GNU/Linux from a Unix/Linux System. The instructions were attempted with the objective of installing woody on a spare disk, on a SPARC currently running potato. The way seems blocked where dselect reports that wget does not appear to be available. Is there a workaround? Thanks, Peter E. Peter Easthope http://carnot.pathology.ubc.ca/

Re: Installing potato on a Ultra1
Probably it will... Or install only the basic system, then do the upgrade. I did this. Besides I downloaded the kernel 2.4.18 and recompiled it. To do your upgrade it is interesting to have a list of packages to install/upgrade. Good luck!

nfs problem w/debian potato
Being relatively new to debian, I was surprised that my system will panic when mounting an nfs partition. I checked the man-page for mount options, read a few FAQ's, and searched through the last few months of list archives. Nothing was mentioned about this problem, so it must be something I'm doing. Basically, I'm trying to mount a nfs partition exported from a Solaris 2.7 box (using both v2 and v3 nfs) and get a panic error that freezes the local workstation. Could someone point me to the document that points out the errors of my ways? mount -t nfs -o tcp,defaults,bg,soft hostname:/var/mail /var/mail or in /etc/fstab hostname:/var/mail /var/mail nfs defaults,tcp,bg,soft 0 0 Any help appreciated.

Potato kernel 2.2 not recognizing SCSI bus on Sun SS 5.
I have Debian with the 2.1 kernel running fine on a Sun SparcStation 5. When I put the 2.2 kernel on it, the SCSI bus continuously resets itself. My configuration is as follows. Prom: Pilot 2.15 RAM: 128M SCSI: Seagate st-15150 in 411 case, id 3 CD-ROM Sun cd in 411 case, id 6 id's 0,1,2, 4 5 are 2.1G differential drives in an external tower with a converter from single sided to differential. Video: CG6 Type 5 keyboard and mouse. Solaris 2.51, 2.6, 7 and Debain with kernel 2 .1, boot, load and run just fine with this configuration. When I try to upgrade, or do a fresh install of the Potato version of Debian, the SCSI bus resets continuously and will not run. I removed the differential tower, did a probe-scsi-all with the new drive configuration and there was no change in the error message. When I tried installing from the cd, the SCSI bus was constantly resetting, then said the CD was not available. I changed CD-ROM's (thinking I had a bad or dirty drive), but kept getting the same result. I even copied the distribution on to a drive in my stack to conduct an upgrade. All programs upgraded normally and ran fine, until I installed the new kernel. The error message was SCSI bus resetting waiting for message. SCSI sector xx not found, resetting. Any thoughts, suggestions? Thanks, Curt

potato-woody
Hello, I was running woody for about four weeks on an ultra10 till I messed upped the system. So I had to install woody again. The new installation ended in a horror story: I am installing for three days now. Installing woody directly does not work. So I installed potato then edit sources.list, and did an apt-get upgrade, I was surprised how much was apt-get going to do, but I said yes and apt-get hanged after a while because of a missing library. So today I tried it again, but before the upgrade I made a apt-get install perl. apt get showed again a lot of to do (I think a lot more then it would be good), but it ran all ok. Now I have woody running again, but to my surprise apt-get install postgresql says Sorry, postgresql is ...newest version cat /var/lib/postgres/data/PG_VERSION says 6.5. I *need* at last 7.x, so what is wrong with apt-get or the lists, because a few weeks ago, the same procedure had installed me postgresql 7.1.x. like a charm. PS: I have to admit that I am a Debian-Sparc Newbie, maybe I am doing something fundementally wrong... regards -- Hakan Kuecuekyilmaz, FHT-Esslingen [EMAIL PROTECTED] [...

Need help installing Potato on the Netra t1

AFAIK, there's no such thing as Xsun 4.0.2. The new server is xserver-xfree86 and installing it will pull other needed packages too. Aha! So there's finally a port of XFree86 to Sparc?

My resident debian guy tells me that this will do base upgrades, and an apt-get upgrade after that will take care of everything else. Eh, in any case, I think I'm getting up-to-date on the box. At least, about 2 weeks ago when I did this (almost) everything went just fine. Configuring the new Xserver is a pain however, so I'm attaching my /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 here.

Re: Sparc Potato mouse and keyboard setup
G'day Renato, You need to link /dev/mouse to /dev/sunmouse PS. Its a bus mouse not ps2. Check the back of your keyboard for the type eg. mine is a US type 5, run kbdconfig as root, choose /sun for the keyboard definition, and choose sunkeymap for the layout if you have a US keymap. Otherwise you will need to find out what keymap you've been using with slink. Don't use gdm. Chow, Peter Firmstone.

Sparc Ultra 10 Potato keyboard setup
Hi friends, First of all, i would like to say thanks to your helpfull e-mails. They put me on the rigth way to solve my keyboard and mouse problems. I already solved the mouse trouble. After a lot of racking, I readed in Debian-sparc list that a french guy had the same problem and solved it just removing the GPM program. I did it and made the sunmouse device again and my mouse became OK. But unfortunately my keyboard is still bad configured, even after a couple of strugle days of work on it. Following Gabor's tip, a instaled xkeycaps, and after setup de mouse a was able to try to configure the keyboard. At a first moment i found out that it was a Sun type 5/PC (because of it lay-out) but the keys remained unconfigured. The keyboard test screem of xkeycaps shown that there were erros on keyboard configuration. So a tryed to configure de /etc/X11/XF86Config using the Crumley's tip as is writen bellow. In fact, a just changed de XkbRules to sun, the XkbModel to type5 and the XkbLayout to us. I din't change the identifier, driver and option corekeyboard because i didn't find it on file. After change those settings I tryed the xkeycaps test screen again and the keyboard was correctly identified as type 5/PC keyboards (the rigth leters appears on test screen as they were pressed on keyboard). So a saved this configuration and modified the /root/.bashrc file to load /root/.xmodmap during the login process. So i though i had solved my problem but i realized that the keys configurations still remains wrong in the X enviroment even after the xmodmap file had been loaded during the X Windows load process. I beg your pardon if i am anoying you with these questions but i already lost a lot of time to solve these problems. I had i Slink on this machine and i never thougth that Potato install process would be so complicaded. I have been using Potato on my personal computer at home and i had no any problem with it. Anymay i'm very disapointed with this Potato Sparc. It seems that Debian people don't care about testing the OS to these machines.

Re: Sparc Ultra 10 Potato keyboard setup
Hi guys, I solved the keyboard problem. Just in case of anybody have the same problem, i discovered my keyboard right configuration using xkeycaps program. It's a type5/PC one. So a tried to configure the /etc/X11/XF86Config file, and after try a lot of comand lines, the keyboard is working fine. The correct /etc/X11/XF86Config configuration to my Ultra 10 keyboard is: XkbRulessun XkbModeltype5_PC XkbLayoutus XkbCompat compat/complete XkbTypestypes/complete XkbKeycodessun(type5) XkbGeometrysun(type5) XkbSymbols sun/us(sun5) It's just necessary to change or add these lines on XF86Config file.

They put me on the rigth way to solve my keyboard and mouse problems. I already solved the mouse trouble. After a lot of racking, I readed in Debian-sparc list that a french guy had the same problem and solved it just removing the GPM program. I did it and made the sunmouse device again and my mouse became OK. But unfortunately my keyboard is still bad configured, even after a couple of strugle days of work on it. Following Gabor's tip, a instaled xkeycaps, and after setup de mouse a was able to try to configure the keyboard. At a first moment i found out that it was a Sun type 5/PC (because of it lay-out) but the keys remained unconfigured. The keyboard test screem of xkeycaps shown that there were erros on keyboard configuration. So a tryed to configure de /etc/X11/XF86Config using the Crumley's tip as is writen bellow. In fact, a just changed de XkbRules to sun, the XkbModel to type5 and the XkbLayout to us. I din't change the identifier, driver and option corekeyboard because i didn't find it on file. After change those settings I tryed the xkeycaps test screen again and the keyboard was correctly identified as type 5/PC keyboards (the rigth leters appears on test screen as they were pressed on keyboard). So a saved this configuration and modified the /root/.bashrc file to load /root/.xmodmap during the login process. So i though i had solved my problem but i realized that the keys configurations still remains wrong in the X enviroment even after the xmodmap file had been loaded during the X Windows load process. I beg your pardon if i am anoying you with these questions but i already lost a lot of time to solve these problems. I had i Slink on this machine and i never thougth that Potato install process would be so complicaded. I have been using Potato on my personal computer at home and i had no any problem with it. Anymay i'm very disapointed with this Potato Sparc. It seems that Debian people don't care about testing the OS to these machines.

I will move them to incoming tonight so that they will be picked by Saturday's dinstall/katie run, unless somebody objects. Only nextaw had problems building. I've noted that in potato 2.2r2, nextaw is actually linked to xlib6g and thus is equivalent to nextawg: Package: nextaw Architecture: sparc Version: 0.5.1-29 Depends: ldso (= 1.8.9-1), libc6 (= 2.0.105), libc6 (= 2.0.99), xlib6g (= 3.3.2.3a-2) Package: nextawg Architecture: sparc Version: 0.5.1-34 Depends: ldso (= 1.8.9-1), libc6 (= 2.0.105), xlib6g (= 3.3.5) Ideally, nextaw should be dropped. However since people might have installed it, I built both nextaw and nextawg. I had to *slightly* modify debian/rules to add sparc to the list of architectures that need to build nextaw. Without this change, the package does not build on sparc anyways. What I'll do: 1. Open a grave bug against nextaw (not building on sparc/potato, and add sparc to the list of arches needing to build nextaw). We shouldn't have packages that cannot be rebuilt in the archive. 2. Since these package fix a security risk, and despite 1, these packages will be moved to incoming tonight. 3. Draft an updated security advisory, and forward it to the powers that be. Phil.

Re: Sparc Potato mouse and keyboard setup
Hi, What xserver are you using? Xsun or Xfree86? If you have xsun you should remove the gpm package. xsun and gpm are conflicting. You may use the xmodmap to redefine your keyboard. xkeycaps can help you to find your keyboard. If you have xfree86 then you should change the /etc/X11/XF86Config settings for the keyboard and mouse.

Abstraction (Was: Re: Potato-Woody)
Ok, ok, I'll bite. In order to further my understanding of my place in the world (that is, ask silly questions, see what happens), I feel the need to ask this (from blissful ignorance, so be gentle). Let us imagine an operating system that is built from a whole lot of different modules that all talk to each other. Sounds a little like Linux - no? So someone comes along and invents a new file system. The developer community says Cool and life moves on. The question is coming, be patient :-) So in the scheme of things, some bright spark wrote the bit that speaks to the disk drive - known as a driver. This person's goal in life is to make their little driver be the fastest, bestest, smartest, tiniest piece of code you can imagine. This is what they do in life, this is why they get out of bed - you get the picture. Their driver takes all the hassle out of writing bits to disk. Question just over the horizon... Then the inventor of the new file system just writes their little module, so it talks to the disk-driver. So when someone else comes along and writes a disk-driver for their blue-spangled-magneto-laser-disk thingy, the new file system still talks to a disk-driver, and it all still works. So, then someone asks, how come reiserfs doesn't work on sparc. I wonder what am I missing? -- ()/)/)()..ASCII for Onno.. |? ..EBCDIC for Onno.. --- -. -. --- ..Morse for Onno..

Ultra5 - Potato - Multiple HME Interfaces
Hi - I have an UltraSPARC 5 running debian (potato). Everything runs very well except when I insert a second Ethernet Card. The built-in HME card is recognized and configured properly by the kernel. The problem occurs when I add the second hme card. The kernel assignes the first card's MAC addr to both cards. At that point, all networking fails. I understand that when loading the sunhme module, the kernel may retrieve the MAC addr from openboot. Openboot seems to only know the addr for the primary (built-in) card. Has anyone else experienced this? Did I miss a line on the webpage that describes how to get around this? Thanks much, Dennis Keller

Re: Ultra5 - Potato - Multiple HME Interfaces
Suns have always done this (same MAC on all interfaces). It can confuse the hell out of an ethernet switch. Are both interfaces plugged into the same network? If so you need to select another MAC address. Just ifconfig in another ethernet address: ifconfig eth1 10.10.10.10 hw ether 00:10:5A:9E:9E:A4 If each interface is on a different network (in the ethernet sense, can be connected by routers, but no switches or bridges) then it does not matter. If it _did_ matter, an awfull lot of firewalls would stop working. :) Jay D. Allen Advisory Software Engineer IBM® Corp., Web Servers Division, Solutions Development 15450 SW Koll Pkwy.

Re: SPARC potato - woody
This happens with 2.2.18. Doing an strace gives you the pasted dump. SYS_63()
and nfssvc() seem to be the unimplemented system calls.
Via dmesg I get Unimplemented system calls in init (call 155) and rcS (calls
44,154, and 155).
This is on my SMP Sparc10 (2 ROSS 90s). I'd try it with 2.4.0 but it Ooopsss
and deadlocks too frequently to run for more than a few minutes.

Floppy-change-detection problem while installing potato?
Sorry 'bout my poor english :-) Sun SparcStation 2: Because I haven't got already my external SCSI-CDROM I used a Win98 box to create the various floppy disks and installed the potato base system on the SS2. Some of the disks were very old and while copying them to the SS2 sometimes a bad sector on the disk resulted in an I/O-error and the SS2 ejected the disc. After replacing the bad disk with a 100% error free and working one the SS2 refused to use it and again said something like I/O error. I had to open the second console, do a 'mount /dev/fd0 /mnt' (of course got a 'failed' because of the read-only-fs) and a 'eject /dev/fd0'. After that I put the same disk back in, switched back to console 1 and hit Return and now the SS2 accepted the disk! Only putting the disk back in and doing an 'eject' on the second console didn't work. I really had to do the 'mount...' to get it back to function... Is this a known problem or does this belong to my hardware? Greetings, Andreas _ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.
Debian GNU/Linux (potato) and SPARCStation 1+
I've got my hands on 15 used (Doh! :) SPARC Station 1+ in varying condition. My plan was to use it in my first Bewolf cluster. But first I'd like to install the buggers :) Using a bunch of disks to do the installation (I don't have access to any AUI cables currently) I stumbled on to a little problem. When trying to install the kernel and modules it asks a very strange question: - s n i p - Wrong disk! This is disk 1 of 2 in the drv14-sun4cdm series of 27-Nov-2000 13:18 EST. Wrong disk. This is from series drv14-sun4cdm. You need disk 1 of series the driver series. - s n i p - I know I'm not native English, but even my little brother (18, dyslexic) is better than this! :) Sorry, no hard feelings or anything. I had such a laugh at it, and I could not resist 'kicking you in the balls' :) I got the images from .../potato/main/disks-sparc/2.2.20-2000-12-03/sun4cdm/images-1.44/ and I can't find any other driver disks... From what I understand (which might be wrong, I'm new to the SPARC architecture) I own a 4/65 'something'. I'm not sure what it's called. SPARC arch? SUN arch? Hardware arch? Anyway, I found some hardware reference on 'www.sunhelp.org' that it's a 'SUN-4c'... So if the driver disks in the above directory is wrong, where are the right ones? -- Mossad nitrate BATF jihad killed fissionable Treasury nuclear kibo munitions Nazi Delta Force Honduras supercomputer SEAL Team 6 [See http://www.aclu.org/echelonwatch/index.html for more about this]
Re: nightmare: apt slink-potato using cds
Thanks to the people who helped me get past the apt-get refusing the cd problem. I had to change the contents of /var/state/apt/cdroms.list (otherwise known as the cdrom index file). Now I find that: 1) the depmod -a in the /etc/init.d gives a _lot_ of symbol not found warnings, because it keeps finding the modules in the /lib/modules/2.2.1 directories (I've upgraded to 2.2.17). AFAICT, the config files are correct (I believe I just accepted all the new ones in the install). modprobe -c does not list any 2.2.1 directories. My 2.2.1 modules are in 2.2.1 directories (not 2.2 directories). I don't have any 2.2 directories in /lib/modules. 2) ipchains has turned off my email. Ie, I have been downloading email from my isp using fetchmail, then sending it to a local MTA (exim) for delivery locally. ipchains by default denies email originating locally (or something: I'm no expert on ipchains or networks. Quite the opposite). I tried turning it off by moving everything related to ip chains out of my rc*.d directories and into rc*.comment directories, and rebooting. Surprise! the ipchains still default to deny. I can get rid of all the rules and set the defaults to ACCEPT with ipchains, but it doesn't persist after reboots. (It's not like I'm on the internet any time other than when I'm downloading mail, and my modem is 14.4K, and the isp assigns me a different isp each time I dial in.) 3) named doesn't seem to resolve even the localhost's name any more. Maybe that's related to the ipchains. $ nslookup seal *** Can't find server name for address 127.0.0.1: No response from server (finds a server at my isp, who not surprisingly doesn't know about my own hosts name (i'm in the middle of downloading mail as I write this)) $ ps ax | grep named (doesn't find any named process - and I didn't kill any either) And there _is_ an /etc/rc2.d entry of S19bind I just don't get it. 4) xdm won't let me log in (neither root nor me) I imagine this problem will go away when I get the above solved. I've moved xdm out of the rc*.d directories too. 5) gpm keeps starting up and writing piles of junk in my logs. I keep killing it off and it keeps coming back. At least this one went away when I took out the gpm stuff from my init directories. 6) while I was in the init directories I saw stuff related to tamagotchi. What is tamagotchi, tamad, tama? It doesn't exist in any of my man files (but that's not surprising, it's surprisingly difficult to get _all_ the man pages installed) nor in `ls -lad /usr/doc/tama*`. H!

I imagine this problem will go away when I get the above
Hmm, upon reflection, perhaps xdm still won't work. It
was complaining about permission problems in /var/log/xdm.log,
and I suppose it wouldn't be logging those if ipchains was
preventing it from receiving anything.
argh. Well, first to fix the named problem, then the
xdm after. To fix the xdm problem, I suppose I'll have
to learn all about xauth/xdm interaction.

Potato revision 2
Hello world, In the next day or so, Ben Collins [EMAIL PROTECTED] will be creating a list of show stoppers for potato revision two. This list will hopefully be maintained for future revisions, and be treated more or less as the release critical bug list has been during the freeze [0]. If there's anything that needs to be done, or that's in the process of being done, that we should be waiting for for r2 rather than leaving until r3 or later, please make sure Ben knows about it. r2 will happen ASAP after that list is emptied. The more detailed the information you can send the better: we need new boot-floppies is better than no! we can't release yet, and I'm preparing new boot-floppies for i386 to fix bugs 32343 55643 and 76432, which will be ready in a day; updates for powerpc are also needed (bug 65653) and Daniel Jacobowitz is taking care of that, but I don't know how long it will take; updates for other architectures aren't urgent is better still. Who's doing it, how long it will take, why it's needed, and why it won't cause new problems would be ideal. For reference, you can consider the list to currently be: Show stoppers for potato r2 ~~~ * Show stopper list needs to be created (Ben Collins) (will be done by around (2000/11/21 12:00 UTC) * 2.2.18 boot-floppies for i386 (Adam di Carlo) (will be done by around (2000/11/22 12:00 UTC) Note further that r2 is expected to happen fairly soon now (days, not weeks) [1]. Cheers, aj [0] ie, we'll try to make sure there aren't any left; but if there are some that don't appear to have any hope of ever being fixed, they'll eventually just get ingored.

I get this effect if I have mirrors listed as http sources as well as cdrom source listed in /etc/apt/sources.list I had the problem that the CD-ID (verylongstringwithfinal-2) is different depending on the kernel: After upgrading the kernel from Kernel 2.0 to 2.2 apt didn't recognized the CDs anymore (was updaing from Debian 2.0 to 2.2).

DEBIAN POTATO via NFS on a SPARCstation SLC 4/20 - 16 Mb RAM
well, finally after days days spent over the fucking debian (what a terrible installation ! slackware rulez ;) i installed MANUALLY a Debian Potato on this SPARC Box :) it was really a MESS. i'm writing a sort of HOWTO about this, explaining how i solved some weird problem (segmentation fault in dselect, can't malloc in dpkg and some other things) but now we have a working system, with X-Windows running as server using our network server as a client for the applications. :) any hint about using GCC on a SPARC with only 16 megs ? i think memory is too low for this ... (and i'm thinking about installing a cross-compiler on the network server :) p.s. i only have, for now, an italian version of the doc. i'm working on the english translation :) Asbesto from FreakNet MediaLab www.kyuzz.org/freaknet -- Asbesto from gemini.freaknet.org mobile linux box ;)

It may not be the most straight forward install but you need only do it once and it is the most flexible system available. Works every time for me. it was really a MESS. i'm writing a sort of HOWTO about this, explaining how i solved some weird problem (segmentation fault in dselect, can't malloc in dpkg and some other things) but now we have a working system, with X-Windows running as server using our network server as a client for the applications. :) any hint about using GCC on a SPARC with only 16 megs ? i think memory is too low for this ... (and i'm thinking about installing a cross-compiler on the network server :) Yeah If your going to use X do it with a small window manager try IceWM, flwm, fvwm, olvwm. icewm uses 1732K on my system, flwm uses 2056K, Xsun uses 6052K. Use Bash 916K not Xterm 2148K and roll your own kernel. Don't run anything else while you compile and don't do it from inside emacs, allocate plenty of swap and be patient. Of course it would be better without X. Chow, Peter Firmstone. N.B.
