Just signed up for this mailing list; had spent a good amount of time over the last week getting my Ultra 60 up and running again. It's mostly OK...heh...execpt the part about having to reprogram the darn NVRAM every time I turn it on.
I got jessie installed (Didn't get far in the stable release; first thing I did was try to open iceweasel and it hit a bus error -- unaligned mem access maybe). Working on getting the framebuffer going and whatnot now, went to the Debian forums and figured I'd try this mailing list after no responses there. After checking the posts for the last few months (only a handful!), they seem all about "Hello....anybody out there using/maintaining this?" or "Hey if anyone's using driver X y'all need to maintain it yourself 'cause you're the only one using it", heh. So, realistically*, what's the deal? Any point in trying to get this to work or should I cut my losses now and move to some other distribution or OS? I had thought that maybe there was some interest in the architecture since OpenSPARC was published/available for some time. Anyhow. Advice appreciated in advance. thanks *Yes, I'm not being terribly realistic running anything on this box to begin with. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
