Re: BBLISA: solaris question, 2.6 on sparc III?

[Bruce Davis]

I think your options are limited to later releases of 2.8 and 2.9.  If I 
remember correctly, the documentation says that sparc III CPUs in a V880 
will not support any release of Solaris prior to the 10/02 release of 
2.8.  Our experience with the V880 bears this out. 

Good Luck.

Good morning,

	I'm looking for some basic sanity-check info,
supporting some legacy apps on more recent hardware.
What I've read so far says the sparc III's will only
run 2.8; I'm wondering if anyone's had any experience
with that.  

        The boxes in question are v880's.  Booting
one from a 2.6 cd failed with a "can't open" error on
the sun4u kernel.
