Hi, |
| 2 |
|

|

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. |
