Hi, |

I'm trying to get the latest 2006.1 Sparc Universal bootcd (downloaded |
5 |
yesterday) to run on some Blade2500 machines, without much success. I've tried |
6 |
the Silver & Non-Silver models, and both the provided kernels (2.6.16 & 2.6.17) |
7 |
|
8 |
Some basic info regarding the specs (a prtdiag -v is also attached) -- |
9 |
|
10 |
OpenBoot v4.17.1 |
11 |
4096 Mb RAM |
12 |
XVR-1200 GFX module (SUNW,375-3101) |
13 |
Dual UltraSPARC IIIi 1280 Mhz CPUs |
14 |
Broadcom NIC (bge0 in Solaris) |
15 |
|
16 |
Some have both a XVR-1200 and a XVR-100 module installed (I've tested on both) |
17 |
The problem however seems to be related to the initial ramdisk -- |
18 |
|
19 |
|
20 |
<..begin BootPROM output..> |
21 |
|
22 |
Loading initial ramdisk (644214 bytes at 0x133F802000 phys, 0x40C00000 virt)... |
23 |
|
24 |
ERROR: Last Trap: Illegal Instruction |
25 |
|
26 |
Error -256 |
27 |
|
28 |
ERROR: Last Trap: Memory Address not Aligned |
29 |
|
30 |
|
31 |
<..end BootPROM output..> |
32 |
|
33 |
And then it throws you back to the ok prompt. Any suggestions? I'll be happy |
34 |
to test any experimental livecd's and/or possible BootPROM fixes (env. settings, |
35 |
disabling mem, etc.) I didn't do an asr-disable, as the previous problems seemed |
36 |
to have to do with having more than 4Gb mem, which isn't the issue here. |
