Jason,
I sold my U60 beginning of may. Didn't use it anymore, sadly..
I should have the dev-sources on my Netra T1 since it also runs 2.6.6. I
will check it it tomorrow evening and pack it up for you.
Regards,
Tom

yeah my system is identical to yours, freshy98, with exception to your
extra 512M memory and the fact that I have the latest prom. If you do
decide to upgrade the prom then good luck, the jumper you have to
switch is under the power supply; that was NOT fun to get switched.
Also, it was the development-sources kernel that I had on there back
when I had gentoo on it before, but that is obviously not an option
anymore.
Actually, do you still have the kernel source directory for the
development-sources-2.6.6 kernel. If so, is there any way you could
tar and bzip2 that directory and let me somehow get it from you?
Unless anyone knows of a way to get this source along with the patches
it had at the time of its demise?
I just want this server up and running stable...if I have to go to 2.4
then I guess I will, but I'd rather not.

I think the most stable would still be 2.6.6 (think it was
development-sources which don't exist anymore?). It ran perfectly on my U60
with allmost the same specs as yours, except mine had 1GB RAM and had two
18GB drives in RAID0.
I have no idea what PROM version I had, but it sure wasn't the latest
around.

Betreff: Re: [gentoo-sparc] 2.6 kernel and docs
Datum: Sun, 26 Jun 2005 23:33:50 -0500
Thanks for the help; I did just upgrade my prom just before I started
this process using solaris ... I upgraded from rev 3.23 to 3.31, which
is the latest one provided by sun. That said, pardon my ignorance, but
I've never messed with git snapshots before. I guess I can look into
it, but that's why I chose 2.6.7 instead of 2.6.12. I've got so much
going on right now that I just wanted to get one up fast without much
hassle, so I wanted the 2.6 kernel that was the most stable and used
on the sparc. I thought that was 2.6.7...

I've tried rebuilding the 2.6.7 kernel several times (changing things
on each iteration - for instance: rebuilding gcc, glibc, silo), and
every time the machine loads silo and allocates space for the kernel,
but it freezes right after printing "Booting Linux..." Once it does
this, it is completely unresponsive (even to stop+a). It worked great
on the 2.6 kernel a year ago when I ran gentoo the first time. Can
anyone help me. Please!!
Jason,
Try running one of the latest git snapshots from kernel.org. I know on
my u60 i was running one of the 2.6.12-rc4-git#'s about a month or so
ago on mine and it was running pretty stable
also, make sure your openprom is updated to the latest revision.
(gustavoz, where was that doc you had in your dev space listing what
version to use?)
