Server :: Net Booting A Sun Sparc With RARP And TFTP
Aug 14, 2010I'm trying to install Debian on a Sun Ultra Enterprise 3000. See: [url]
So, I guess the cdrom is kaput. My next option is to net boot. I find the instructions here: [url]
A bit lacking. So, I want to ask if I am doing things right. Using this page and others from found via the Google, I have the following:
On Ubuntu 8.04 LTS, I ran:
Code:
to install rarpd. In /etc/hosts I have
Code:
In /etc/ethers I have
Code:
Then run
Code:
So, I think that should set up the RARP server, but I don't know. Now for the TFTP server. I follow the instructions here: [url]
except for step 4 I use
Code:
In /etc/inetd.conf I have
Code:
So I put the files from:[url]
in /srv/tftp. Then I cd /srv/tftp, and run
Code:
Then
Code:
Ok, finially, from the OpenBoot OK propmt on the Sun machine, I type
Code:
All I get is
Code:
and it just keeps doing that....
Hardware :: Disable Broken Fan Alarm In Sparc Server?
Jun 1, 2011We have a problem with CPU fan not spinning in Sun server. There are two very small fans attached to heatsink on CPU. We can find identically sized replacement in local electronics shop; but the problem is they all lack the third wire. I presume that if we did that, Solaris would keep alarming about fan problem.
Original fan is quite expensive (sold in pair together with heatsink), and (more importantly) cannot be easily found here. We lubricated it so it works, but that's only temporary solution, obv. So, is it possible to disable fan alarm in Solaris 10 for SPARC? If both fans die and CPU (UltraSPARC IIIi) overheats, will it shutdown before it breaks?

View 3 Replies View RelatedDebian Multimedia :: Iceweasel Won't Install On Wheezy 7.8 Sparc
Jan 18, 2015So the other day I installed Debian Wheezy on my Sun Blade 150. While the OS is installed fine, all the webkit based browsers continuously crash after a few pages. So, I tried to download IceWeasel since it wasn't installed when I tried installing Debain off the DVD. The only problem is, it won't install as the Xulrunner version it requests is xulrunner-24.0_24.5.0esr-1~deb7u1_sparc, however the only version available on the repositories is newer. Is there any way to get the older xulrunner version, or is there going to be a fix for IceWeasel soon on Sparc?
View 3 Replies View RelatedDebian :: Sparc Install But Then Can't Open Boot Device?
Apr 25, 2010I JUST registered here as I have not used Linux in several months. Linux and I have been and off and on relationship, but after I realized Ubuntus limitations Ive pretty much only dealt only with Debian (on PPC as well as x86, and also some Suse on x86).
Anyway, so I just picked up a couple Sun Ultra 5s for free. One had 256MB RAM (4 x 64MB), a 4.3GB IDE HD (no SCSI in the Ultra 5), and booted fine in Solaris up to the login screen at which point it wasnt really any use to me since I dont know the login name or password, and really want to run Linux anyway. The other I am told needed a firmware (chip?) and basically didnt do much more than power on. However, it had a 40GB HD and 2 x 128MB RAM modules. So, I replaced the 4.3GB drive with the 40GB, and replaced 2 of the 64MB RAM modules with 2 128MB modules, for a total of 384MB RAM.
BTW, both machines have the 270MHz Ultra1 CPU. Anyway, I used my main Windows x86 machine (which Im on now), downloaded the Debian SPARC net install, and burned it to a CD. Put the CD in the Ultra 5, installation proceeded nicely, though with one disconcerting message stating the urgency of which a reboot was required (though still telling me to wait for installation to finish). I mean, the whole installation process basically went perfectly except that one odd message.
So, when install is complete, I choose finish installation, the machine reboots, ejects the CD, and then ultimately get a message saying "cant open boot device". I am very new to Sun hardware, and am by no means an expert to Linux. The only thing Ive really tried so far is to type "boot hda" which only causes the same message to appear.
From previous experience, I have written on paper the info for all of my partitions. So I think my Debian install is sitting there waiting to be utilized, but the Sun hardware is oblivious to the fact that theres a perfectly good OS on the machine yearning to be booted.
Hardware :: Choosing A Distribution For Sparc Ultra45 Platform?
Jun 20, 2010I am looking for the best distribution to run on specific hardware. I prefer PCLinuxOS to all other distributions, and I prefer KDE 3.x to even KDE 4. I would like to be able to support CDE, Gnome, and XFCE at a minimum. I work on a Sun box with Solaris 10 that I am required to run integration testing, but not allowed to modify in any way. We have other systems, some Windows and some Linux that we must also integrate into our environment, but wouldn't you know that we don't have the hardware available just yet?
I spoke with the other engineers and we decided that we want to run Linux and virtualize our other machines on that one box. In addition, we want to be able to log into these sessions on our other machines on that network. The hardware I have to work with is a Sparc Ultra45 with 2 x 250GB SCSI HDDs. I will have to install on disk 1 and leave disk 0 untouched until the Linux host is fully operational. Then we need to clone disk 0 and import the image to disk 1 as a virtual environment. I downloaded OpenSolaris 2009.6 AI for Sparc several times and burned it to several different media, but each time we tried to boot from cdrom, we failed.
The first error is that the machine ALWAYS tried to boot into the network, even when we tried Stop + A and had the network cable disconnected. We tried to boot from USB, but that also failed. Unless I tried to boot from the actual USB hub or device, the boot command returned a net boot error.

Debian :: Garbled Screen On SPARC Console Install
Feb 5, 2011So this also happened to me when trying to install an old version of Ubuntu (hardy I believe). I have a Sun Netra X1 that I am trying to install the latest stable Debian Sparc64 port on. I'm doing a TFTP boot, and am able to get the kernel to load. However, once the kernel loads the installer, the screen gets garbled (attached is a screenshot from my console session) This server has no graphics card, so I have to install using the serial console. I don't recall having this issue when I installed the last stable version. Any ideas what's going on or how to fix it? I even passed the option "DEBIAN_FRONTEND=text" to the kernel, but it didn't seem to do anything.

Feb 7, 2011I am an intermediate linux user. However, I know nothing about solaris. I am trying to install Debian Sparc on a sun blade 2500 workstation. I was told it should work. I am able to go through the debian installation process but when the box reboots it does not boot into Debian. I have now gone through the debian install process several times and now it saids there are too many primary partitions. I tried a rescue install but it saids there are no partitions installed on disk? What am I doing wrong? I am curious if I need to pass a specific argument at the command line to boot into silo? I cannot find any relevant guidance online about this problem and I cannot believe I am the only one to stumble here.

Aug 14, 2010Got kernel panic when upgradeing from 9.04 to 9.10... Have a tough time with this sparc server. On newer disto it doesnt regognize the cdrom in installation what will result in no install. I tried all trix I found on internet about this issue but none of them did it for me. So I went back in versions. When I come to 7.10 gutsy everything seems to work, so now everything is up and running.
But now I want it back on version 9.04. Last time (a year ago) I did the same thing, and just do-release-update to current version. Now that doesnt work. Maybe becourse I need some updates to gutsy, and the gutsy repositorys is not available anywere. how I can pass this upgrade to 8.04? I set the APT::Get::AllowUnauthenticated true; to pass this far...

Ubuntu Installation :: Sparc Blade With Large Vertical Stripes On Screen?
Jun 29, 2011I've got 10.04 installed on my Blade 1000 workstation. Installed 6.06 first and worked my way up as per other postings. See attached cookbooks I wrote. Framebuffer is Elite3D-lite, and I have done the afbinit install. Using Xorg w/ Gnome and other windowing software to eliminate the possibility it is Gnome. From what I understand, Ubuntu does not require a custom X11 conf file like OpenBSD.
Current screen output shows large vertical stripes, where the stripes overlay on top of the GNOME desktop. Inside the stripes are the prior boot screen output of Ubuntu 10.04. When the screen saver kicks in, the Gnome desktop disappears, but the blue 10.04 stays visible. Mouse cursor moves across the screen, under each stripe as it goes.
My knowledge of framebuffers is limited. Would this then imply that the framebuffer is not fully "refreshing"? The screen does not provide full width even though the correct OpenBoot monitor configuration is set. Haven't found any mention of this issue from other Ubuntu/Linuxes Sparc users. Attached the X11 log. Looking at the log, I suspect this will need a custom X11 config file.

Ubuntu :: Fire Fox Opening Multiple Windows
Feb 18, 2010Im having a problem with firefox. I left firefox running overnight yesterday only to wake up to a totally unresponsive karmic. Everything was frozen and i couldn't get anything to run. I restarted the ubuntu and everything seemed to be ok until I tried to open firefox. Almost immediatly the first window opened it was followed by what looked like fifty more. It kept opening windows until ubuntu crashed. I restarted karmic again and did a couple of google searches using opera and found out that it might be a adware problem. I have thought of getting rid of my cookies but i do not know whether that will help.
