Hi!
While migrating a nameserver, I noticed a difference between BIND 8.4.6
(Debian -1) and 8.4.7 (also Debian -1) - the latter one doesn't send
NOTIFYs when a zone is changed&reloaded.
I tried explicitly setting "notify yes;", both globally and in the zone
definition, but still no luck:
Hi!
Yesterday I needed to netboot one of my SS10s, so I grabbed the current
boot.img[0]. Unfortunately, the kernel's broken somewhat, as there are
unresolved symbols in (at least) sunlance. Which therefore doesn't
load and makes netbooting Sarge de facto impossible on machines with
LANCE
Hi!
I just upgraded one of my boxen from an U1 to an U2 (swapped the disk,

normal and SMP kernels.

I just tried to install Sarge (with a 2.6 kernel) on an SS10. The
installer[0], nice as it is, mentions "RAID". So I wanted to have
RAID-1 over my 2 1GB disks. But whatever I tried wrt, partitioning,
the only option not directly related to an FS or swap was LVM.
Is this a bug or a "feature"?

Yes, the major difference when installing is partitioning the disk(s),
Sun disklabel, but it's explained clearly in
AFAICT there's not a single kernel-image-2.4 for sun4m, so I'll have to
roll my own. Usually I install a kernel-image-2.4 before to satisfy
possible dependencies.
Anything I should be aware of?

Hi!
For the last few days I've been trying to upgrade my veteran SS1 to
Woody, now that that's stable.
But: as soon as it's done fetching packages and starts to configure
them, load goes tits-up until it completely stops responding. Well, it
continues to answer ICMP and TCP, but no service

To clarify:
BOOTP is a broadcast-only protocol

I finally got round to try installing debian on my (tnx, az) SS1, but

It seems to load tftpboot.img via TFTP correctly, but as soon as

I tried both Ben Collins images and the stable one.
