Package: installation-reports Debian-installer-version: sarge-sparc-netinst.iso RC3 27/03/2005 build from cdimages.debian.org uname -a: 2.4.27-2 sparc64 (sorry I can't be more precise, machine not running ATM) Date: 06/04/05 Method: Boot from CD using main CD drive, nothing actually installed as disks contains a live systems
Machine: E4000 Processor: 6 x UltraSPARC II 250Mhz Memory: 2304Mb Root Device: N/A Root Size/partition table: N/A Output of lspci and lspci -n: No PCI devices, 4 SBUS's though Base System Installation Checklist: [O] = OK, [E] = Error (please elaborate below), [ ] = didn't try it Initial boot worked: [O] Configure network HW: [E] Config network: [ ] Detect CD: [E] Load installer modules: [O] Detect hard drives: [O] Partition hard drives: [ ] Create file systems: [ ] Mount partitions: [ ] Install base system: [ ] Install boot loader: [ ] Reboot: [ ] Comments/Problems: Had some time to play with this system so thought I'd try the first part of an install. Ran into a couple of problems: 1. Got five or so of these: Unimplemented SPARC system call 188 on booting but (they appear to be|I'm told they are) harmless 2. CD is not detected. On dropping to shell the following seems to work ~ # cat /proc/scsi/scsi cat: /proc/scsi/scsi: No such file or directory ~ # lsmod Module Size Used by Not tainted isofs 21216 0 ide-cd 32880 0 cdrom 28896 0 [ide-cd] ide-disk 15832 0 pdc202xx_new 8704 0 (unused) aec62xx 6640 0 (unused) alim15x3 7904 0 (unused) amd74xx 12768 0 (unused) cs5530 4048 0 (unused) cy82c693 2128 0 (unused) generic 2576 0 (unused) hpt34x 2440 0 (unused) ns87415 2428 0 (unused) opti621 2564 0 (unused) pdc202xx_old 11936 0 (unused) piix 10424 0 (unused) rz1000 1160 0 (unused) sc1200 5544 0 (unused) serverworks 9032 0 (unused) siimage 8496 0 (unused) sis5513 13120 0 (unused) slc90e66 5104 0 (unused) trm290 2466 0 (unused) via82cxxx 11856 0 (unused) ~ # modprobe esp Using /lib/modules/2.4.27-2-sparc64/kernel/drivers/scsi/scsi_mod.o Using /lib/modules/2.4.27-2-sparc64/kernel/drivers/scsi/esp.o ~ # cat /proc/scsi/scsi Attached devices: Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 06 Lun: 00 Vendor: TOSHIBA Model: XM5701TASUN12XCD Rev: 2395 Type: CD-ROM ANSI SCSI revision: 02 Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 12 Lun: 00 Vendor: SEAGATE Model: ST39102LCSUN9.0G Rev: 0828 Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02 Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 13 Lun: 00 Vendor: SEAGATE Model: ST39204LC Rev: 0002 Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 03 ~ # works fine after that. The CD drive is attached to a ESP366-HME controller via SBUS. 3. The auto config of network devices doesn't find anything (machine has two happy meals and two quad ethernet SBUS cards) but when presented with a list of options, picking qfe seems to work. Didn't get much further as I didn't have nay spare disks to hand. Sorry.
