OpenBoot should do it automatically - hook up the serial cable and unplug the monitor and keyboard. You can set it to always use serial but I would have thought leaving it on auto switching was best. Um, with my SS10, ROM 2.25, this doesn't happen. I have to explicitely set serial I/O if I want that. Simply unplugging keyboard (which works nicely on another SS10 with an older ROM version) doesn't help here...

Re: SIGILL on SPARCstation 10

Hi,
I'm using Debian 'testing' on a SPARCstation 10 and getting really
desperate since I'm experiencing a SIGILL problem with libc.
The last update installed the newest libc (2.3.2-7), but now each program
that uses sscanf (and maybe other functions, too) produces an illegal
instruction (SIGILL).
E.g. this program will fail now:
int main()
{
float f;
sscanf(123.45, %f, f);
return(0);
}
Happy birthday. Debian/unstable started to use hardware multiplication
and division, which (in it's full size) isn't supported on all Sparc
CPUs. Obviously, your CPU suffers from that. There are some ways out:
- Get a CPU supporting hwmath or
- Get a newer kernel and bet it's emulator for these cases works.
MfG, JBG

Upgrading to 2.3.2-8 doesn't help either. Still getting SIGILL. So that's my 4th non-solution. Newer CPU or newer kernel will help. Maybe, you'd even recompile your libc _forcing_ not to use hwmath. That'd work, too (as it did, until some weeks ago...).

I've not (yet) installed my SS2, but it's quite possible. After all, there are quite some low-memory machines for which the default ~10MB initrd (of which only some singel MBs are used!) is simply too large.

Usually, this signals that you have bad memory. I'm not currently playing with my Sparcs, but I had the very same and it was, for sure, kernel version dependand. I'm not 100% sure there, but IIRC, this was introduces with the patch between 2.4.0-test11 and 2.4.0-test12, there were changes to linux-2.4.0-test12/arch/sparc/mm/init.c, linux-2.4.0-test12/arch/sparc/mm/srmmu.c and linux-2.4.0-test12/include/asm-sparc/atops.h .
