I have recently gotten a hold of a Sun UltraSparc Enterprise 1. It came preloaded (it was preowned) with solaris worked fine with no problems. However, after about 2 min I wantted Linux on it. I went to the SuSE website and got the iso images and burned them. The machine will boot, gets to a point in the installation where it will say "preparing installation...................." then after about 15 min say "An error occurred during the installation!".
It then takes me to a screen that says "SuSE GmbH" at the top
I dug around in the logs on that screen and the only "error" I can find in the logs is the last 6 lines before the abort. All say:
"sys32_ioctl(linuxrc:9): Unknown cmd fd(4) cmd900005385) arg(effff020)"
Which has zero results in google. I couldnt find any info about that error.
According to the information SuSE provides me I have a: Processor: TI UltraSparc I (spitfire) 256mb ram HD's: IBM 2.1gb and SeaGate 2.1gb CD: Toshiba 4x 1 network card
I can mount the CDROM but after mounting, it says "error reading from floppy disk". I have tried the iso's from isolinux.org, SuSE website, and a SuSE secondary site. All were validated in the MD5SUM check, all give me the same problem.
I tried looking through the archives of this newsletter, saw somethings that were similar, but found nothing that was able to help me out. Any ideas, and suggestions would be highly welcomed.
Thanks! ~S~
