Chris, Do you have the latest Flash PROM? (patch 111952 for more info) Does it work with Solaris? (you could try a Nexenta CD) Cheers, Daniel On Sun, 2006-08-20 at 15:35 -0400, Chris Burwell wrote: > I have successfully (I think) installed Debian (etch release) on a Sun > Netra X1. The problem

Greetings, all, Just FYI, this works just fine on the E4500s as well.  There are two serial ports, so you have to be sure to get port A, but other than that, works great. Full agreement with Bruce, doing the install via the serial port is actually not possible (MUST use a second virtual termi

Yes, that's completely true and that's how I run all of mine. OTOH, it's a bit hard to do the install but I guess the orig poster can just put the keyboard and display on for the install and then remove them. It's handy to have a null modem cable sitting around if something goes wrong though. It

Hi, For the SMP system, is the problem that you say halt -p and it halts but doesn't power off? In the case of my ultra 2 (but with no custom built kernels) dual CPU I found that halt by itself powered it off. I found this out accidently (obvously). No, I have no idea why. cheers bruce

You can boot the machine without keyboard/mouse even if you don't connect a null modem cable to the serial port. You just won't have a hardware console, that's all. This has worked with my Ultra10 and my SB100, which I have run as firewalls in my closet. :) Daniel On tis, 2006-08-22 at 18:44 +000

Yes, no problem. Hook a null modem cable to the serial port on the back (it's the one labeled A if there is more than one, I don't have a 5) and it should work. This is called a serial console in the Sun world and a google search on that will get you loads of info. cheers bruce On Tue, Aug 22

Hi, Today's (Aug 22) daily builds of the Debian installer are the first builds featuring 2.6.17 kernel, they also should contain all the kernel modules to support the T1K/T2K hardware. If someone has access to these boxes, both d-i and kernel teams would greatly appreciate some feedback about
