I've been trying to get linux on my Sparc 5 for a week now. I've tried both RedHat 6.2 and Debian 2.1 with the following errors
Red Hat- Always ends up in a signal 11 termination when it starts to format the drive Debian- After doing bad block check- install "seems" to hang at "writing superblocks and filesystem auditing" The system is a 70mghz SS5 with 64mb RAM, 2.1GB Seagate Barracudda drive, no floppy and using a DEC RRD43 for the boot cdrom. Any advice you can give is appreciated- I am starting to wonder if maybe the Seagate is bad. -ShirKahn
