I am trying to install debian on a SUN CP1500 board. It contains an UltraSPARC-IIi 270MHz. The ethernet and the serial ports are exported via the PCI backplane. We have an hw adapter board connected providing an interface towards the ports. Ethernet works fine and the installation system starts ( network boot ).
But something seems to go wrong in the port setup process because the system keeps going "Bummer, can't open /dev/tty4" every few seconds. Anyway, I have been able to go through the whole installation process, even though the error messages thrashes the output ;-) When I start my installed system, no serial devices are working. Is there something I can do in the install shell to fix this problem? 2 logs below... /Thomas Lange/ ------- >From HD boot: --------------------- SILO boot: Uncompressing image... | Remapping the kernel... done.
