Machine: Sparc Ultra 1 Creator3D Processor: TI UltraSparc I (SpitFire) Memory: 128 MB Root Device: scsi, /dev/sda1 Root Size/partition table: Disk /dev/sda1 (Sun disk label): 19 heads, 80 sectors, 2733 cylinders Units = cylinders of 1520 * 512 bytes Device Flag Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1p1 0 2567 1950920 1 Boot /dev/sda1p2 2567 2733 126160 82 Linux swap /dev/sda1p3 0 2733 2077080 5 Whole disk Output of lspci: parate:~# lspci pcilib: Cannot open /sys/bus/pci/devices pcilib: Cannot open /proc/bus/pci lspci: Cannot find any working access method. Base System Installation Checklist: Initial boot worked: [O] Configure network HW: [O] Config network: [O] Detect CD: [ ] Load installer modules: [O] Detect hard drives: [O] Partition hard drives: [O] Create file systems: [O] Mount partitions: [O] Install base system: [O] Install boot loader: [O] Reboot: [O] [O] = OK, [E] = Error (please elaborate below), [ ] = didn't try it Comments/Problems: 1. The debian was installed in fr_FR locale but the keyboard on this machine is an US English qwerty keyboard. We were not allowed to change the default keyboard (set to azerty by the installer). Very annoying for typing usernames and passwords. 2. an error message popped up during hard drives detection: "modprobe -v ide-cd" (our machine doesn't have any cd-rom drive) 3. the help menu for partitionning was in English (instead of French) 4. during partitionning, a french template displayed {MOUNT_POINT} (probably a missing $) 5. the ethernet network was not functionnal by connecting the eth0 port (happy meal hardware, sunhme driver) to the server via a cross-cable. Using a switch solved the issue (the sparc eth card worked only at 100Mbit/s, while the server only at 10Mbit/s).
