Hi Maximilian,
The output from the serial port, while the machine boots, shows exactly the same result (Sun boxes only activate the serial port if the eeprom is set up to do so, or if the keyboard is missing): Sun Blade 100 (UltraSPARC-IIe 550MHz), Keyboard missing OpenBoot 4.0, 1024 MB memory installed, etc etc Boot device: disk File and args: SILO Version 1.4.14 boot: Allocated 64 Megs of memory at 0x40000000 for kernel Uncompressing image... Loaded kernel version 2.6.32 Loading initial ramdisk (8313051 bytes at 0x3F000000 phys, 0x40C00000 virt)... \ This upgrade path is the only possible way of installing Lucid on a Sun box so, if we can fix this problem, this will be the first SPARC installation of Lucid in the world.

Booting from a rescue CD (Hardy is the only one from which a SPARC can actually boot) and hand mounting all the f8ilesystems shows nothing unusual. Changing fstab and silo.conf entries from UUID to /dev/hdaXX doesn't help. The problem appears to be in initramfs and, effectively, means that it is impossible to run Lucid on a SPARC based system (since neither the CD or netboot installers can possibly work) To unsubscribe from this bug, go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/initramfs-tools/+bug/693187/+subscribe _____ No virus found in this message.
