Hi. Hmm, the same problem on two different boxes? What might be the difference compared to my Ultra 60? The Ultra 60 has Openboot 3, my Blades Openboot 4. What about the T2000? I'm just setting up a Blade 100 as a dual boot test machine (Wheezy / Jessie), maybee I should build the kernel there

Strange as those steps you mentioned are exactly what I am doing on my two SPARC systems. I am going to have to guess this is an issue with these particular pieces of hardware the Sun Blade 2500 and the Sun Fire T2000. Thanks for the help, I just wanted to eliminate the possibility I was just mak

Hi. I used the Debian Linux Kernel Handbook: http://kernel-handbook.alioth.debian.org/ I fetched the 3.11.1 kernel source from kernel.org (wget) and unpacked it under /usr/src. During installation of Wheezy, I installed my usual tool set including make, gcc, g++ etc. To build the kernel, I a

Could you send me a link to the exact procedure you used. I keep find like four different ways to make a vanilla kernel for Debian. Two of my systems are SCSI based and both of those have problems when I do the standard cp /boot/config- ./.config make oldconfig make deb-pkg dpkg -i linux-*.deb

Hi. Last night, I've built a kernel 3.11.1 from kernel.org the Debian way (as described in "Debian Linux Kernel Handbook") - without any problems. My test environment: a fresh installation of Wheezy (7.0.1) on a Sun Ultra 60, i.e. a SCSI machine. I'm going to do a test with an ATAPi/IDE Blade
