While attempting an install of Debian 6.0.1 on an Ultra 2, I use "boot cdrom" from an OK prompt. The kernel loads, and while loading the ramdisk there is an error:
Fast Data MMU Miss. and then it kicks out to the OK prompt. I saw some mention that there could be issues booting from cdrom, but they mentioned dual video cards or missing firmware. I know there is a way to boot from the network but it isn't very interesting as a workaround because it is quite a hassle to set up network services only for this, and it leaves one without a rescue platform. I see that a Solaris 10 cdrom boots OK, so the hardware seems to be OK. Are there any possible solutions ? Is the problem specific to certain CDROM devices? I have a DVD drive from an old 280R I could install and try. --Donald -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
