Er, that doesn't look right. Even if you have one of those
"hard-to-find"
(heh) sunblade1000's with a 600MHz cpu, then this should be more like
the other machines, ie., it should read Cpu0Bogo 1200. I'd say you
need to do some fixin on your kernel/compiler, or somebody else does.
Most likely, the version of gcc3 that was used has some problem
producing
code that works right on US3 cpus. This machine should be significantly
faster to use than your P3. Not only is the cpu faster, but the data
paths to memory and peripherals is a lot faster.
If you would like to send me your 1000 to play with for six months, I'm
sure I could figure out what's wrong. ~:^)
And oh yeah, don't waste any more of your valuable time trying to figure
anything out with glxgears.
Thanks for the response. I initially tried to get an "official" kernel
by following the links in the installation manual
(http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/sparc/ch-appendix.en.html#s-file-descs),
but those links
(http://http.us.debian.org/debian/dists/woody/main/disks-sparc/current/sparc64/tftpboot.img)
are dead. So I backed up a few levels from this address and then
spidered back down to
http://http.us.debian.org/debian/dists/woody/main/disks-sparc/current/sun4u/tftpboot.img,
but that image wouldn't boot on the Blade 1000. So I googled for
another image, and found the one at
http://auric.debian.org/~bcollins/disks-sparc/current/sparc64/ which
did boot and which is now working. What you're saying makes me think
my next thing to try will be to "apt-get install
kernel-image-2.4.21-sparc64". Thanks for the info! I'll post the
results of "cat /proc/cpuinfo" after the installation later today or
tomorrow.
Hmm, no difference.
