Debian SID kernel results in "Fast Data Access MMU Miss" on Sun Ultra 30

Hello, The latest Debian SID kernel (vmlinux-6.4.0-1-sparc64) fails on a Sun Ultra 30 with the following error at the PROM: - ... Loaded kernel version 6.4.4 Loading initial ramdisk (23022746 bytes at 0x6400 phys, 0x40C0 virt)... Fast Data Access MMU Miss ok - I have been

ect sometime during the next week. It might be an issue with grub. The kernel boots and fsck of the root partition works, but "/dev/sda: Can't open blockdev" might indicate a missing module or incorrect kernel CONFIG option. That's just a guess. -Stan Johnson

Debian SID on Ultra 30

2023-03-28 Thread Stan Johnson
back to an older version of git and git-man from Debian snapshots, but for now it's ok, since I don't use git very often on the Ultra 30, anyway. It's actually pretty amazing that everything works as well as it does. Thanks to everyone who works to keep Debian and Linux running on the old Sparcstations! -Stan Johnson

Hello Adrian and Dennis, If this problem is expected to occur on an Ultra 5 or an Ultra 30, please let me know and I'll be happy to help with a git bisect, using a spare 9 GB disk for the installation. -Stan - On 4/3/22 5:57 AM, John Paul Adrian Glaubitz wrote: > Hello! > > On 4/3/22
