Hi, I am trying to install a Debian 3.0 on a Sun Netra T1 (sparc 64). I use a console access (to video card!).
The CD boots fine with a /boot/sparc64 initrd=/debian/dists/woody/main/disks-sparc/current/images-1.44/root.bin To partition, I first wrote the Sun disklabel (s under fdisk), then put whatever partition schema that suits me. The "initialize the swap partition" goes fine as long as I do not pick "Check Bad Blocks". Things start to get wrong when I try to initialize a linux filesystem. No matter if I try ext2 or ext3, it goes up to "Writing superblocks and filesystem accounting information:" and then just hangs... The disk is SCSI, I have read here and there than the linux SCSI driver could not lower its rate enough(?). But I have not found any workaround... I would love to be able to get the kernel logs with some ALT+Fn, but again Sun Netra T1 do not have a video card... (unless there is a way to get the logs through the console?) Anybody with an idea? -- Guillaume Tamboise First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win." -- Gandhi
