Unfortunately, I'm having problems getting it to work on my SS5: ... SCSI subsystem initialized /bin/cat: /sys/block/sda/dev: No such file or directory Waiting 1 seconds for /sys/block/sda/dev to show up /bin/cat: /sys/block/sda/dev: No such file or directory Waiting 2 seconds for /sys/block/sda/dev to show up /bin/cat: /sys/block/sda/dev: No such file or directory Waiting 4 seconds for /sys/block/sda/dev to show up /bin/cat: /sys/block/sda/dev: No such file or directory Waiting 8 seconds for /sys/block/sda/dev to show up /bin/cat: /sys/block/sda/dev: No such file or directory Waiting 16 seconds for /sys/block/sda/dev to show up /bin/cat: /sys/block/sda/dev: No such file or directory Device /sys/block/sda/dev seems to be down. Debugging opportunity, type ^D to continue. This is with yaird 0.0.12-14. I'll try it again with initramfs when the newer klibc arrives. Or maybe I messed something up? With 2.6.12 (which works), it says: ... SCSI subsystem initialized esp0: IRQ 36 SCSI ID 7 Clk 40MHz CCYC=25000 CCF=8 TOut 167 NCR53C9XF(espfast) esp1: IRQ 53 SCSI ID 7 Clk 40MHz CCYC=25000 CCF=8 TOut 167 NCR53C9XF(espfast) ESP: Total of 2 ESP hosts found, 2 actually in use. scsi0 : Sparc ESP100A-FAST Vendor: IBM Model: DDRS-34560W Rev: S71D Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02 Vendor: TOSHIBA Model: XM-4101TASUNSLCD Rev: 1084 Type: CD-ROM ANSI SCSI revision: 02 scsi1 : Sparc ESP100A-FAST esp0: target 3 [period 100ns offset 15 10.00MHz FAST SCSI-II] SCSI device sda: 8925000 512-byte hdwr sectors (4570 MB) SCSI device sda: drive cache: write back SCSI device sda: 8925000 512-byte hdwr sectors (4570 MB) SCSI device sda: drive cache: write back /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target3/lun0: p1 p2 p3 p4 Attached scsi disk sda at scsi0, channel 0, id 3, lun 0 ... BTW, I noticed that the configuration scripts didn't consider yaird as a candidate for generating the initrd when I was running 2.4.27, but when I rebooted into 2.6.12 this problem went away. Some good news though: the framebuffer problem that was being reported with CG6 cards appears to have been fixed. (E.g. a blue background would fade away, leaving about a centimetre of blue at the top.) Also, my keyboard seems to work again, but it didn't with 2.6.12. -- Stuart Brady -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
