Building a kernel from official sources.

I am obliged to build a new kernel that has been patched for ntp pulse-per-second timing. To do this you need to use the official kernel sources from www.kernel.org at specific patch levels. Now I expect that the standard Intel kernel incantation will not cut it in Spark 2 land. What do I need to

Boot problem on a Sparc 2

Hi: I have managed to install Debian 2.2r2 potato on a Sparc 2 that I plan to use as an ntp timeserver. However, during the install, the step for making a boot floppy failed and the system will now not boot directly. >From a cold start I get: Boot device: /sbus/[EMAIL PROTECTED], 80/[EMAIL

Re: Install problem on a Sparc 2

Gee, I am considering the merits of becoming frustrated. . . I have very carefully created the disk partitions sda1 /boot, sda2 swap, sda3 whole disk and sda4 /. with a new Sun disklable. I do the install, either attempting to fix the damaged link or leaving it alone. in either case, the creation

Install problem on a Sparc 2

I am attempting to install potato on a Sparc 2 (64M Ram, 410M HD). I am using the rescue floppy and the root floppy and getting the rest via nfs from a local machine. My background is Linux - mostly RedHat/Mandrake on i386 architecture machines. 9/10ths of the install seems to go fine, but I canno
