Sync your portage tree and probaby you'll have to update your profile as
well (there is a thread some time ago on the list about the subject).

I'm using ~sparc and vanilla-sources-2.6.7, that is the last available
kernel source keyworded for sparc. Also, I found the 2.6 kernel on sparc
guide by Ciaran McCreesh (here:
http://dev.gentoo.org/~ciaranm/docs/sparc-2.6.x/ ) very useful.

If you've got SMP, pretty much every 2.6 kernel will give you trouble,
but some have reported success. 2.6.7 and later have been known to have
trouble with SCSI. With my ultra10, ~2.6.10 and <2.6.11-r5 have
problems with the serial console, but 2.6.11-r5 should work fine.

If you do use <vanila-sources-2.6.10, make sure you use
media-sound/alsa-driver instead of the in-kernel ones if you want sound.

No, it's an uniprocessor ultra1 creator, used mainly as a rsync server
for other boxes and ipv6 router with radvd. No X, no multimedia, no
bells and whistles.

I'll try that, thanks.

Since the machine is used only for the above jobs, I don't need sound.
Anyway, thanks for the tips.

What bug doesn't exist? I'm basing this off reports from Weeve as I
haven't been doing much kernel dev with my ultra2s yet, so if there
really is no SCSI bug, then great ;)

Would this be the bug (also in 2.4) that causes my qlogicpti controler to go "stupid" every couple of weeks or whenever there is heavy SCSI activity?

Err, thank you for the warning, now I wish to know: I am running
UltraSparc 2 with two CPU, does that mean I should avoid using 2.6.x?

I think I have enough trouble with my ultrasparc 2.4.27 kernel, and I am
not even sure if I upgrade to 2.6 kernel I will get more problems or
less. Maybe I should not use sparc as desktop at all.

1) keyboard vs kbd problem in xorg, took me one day to discover;
2) sound behave strangely. Sometimes it just hangs. I try not to watch
any video on that box, usually it gets suddenly silent after watching 20
minutes
3) video behave strangely. With xorg-x11 6.8.0-r3 anything use SDL have
wrong color, I have vlc compiled with "ggi" and if I enable "ggi"
output, play video == restart X. I thought this is solved in xorg-x11
6.8.2 but upgrade to 6.8.2 only require me add "cfb" module, SDL is
still wrong
4) xscreensaver seems ignore keyboard interaction / only notice mouse
movement. If I write a long email, I'll be interrupted several times.

If I upgrade to 2.6

* above 1) and 2) may get solved
* I may get extra SMP problem
* I may get extra SCSI problem
* above problem 2) may get even worse

Conclusion: looks like I should not upgrade...

I use an untra-2(SMP) as a desktop with no problems,
kernel-2.4.27-sparc-r1. For me, on this system, kernels 2.6.x are so
unstable as to be unusable.

> 1) keyboard vs kbd problem in xorg, took me one day to discover;

Sorry. It's a bug in xorg, and I never have pushed it very hard because I
keep thinking that kernel-2.6.?? should become stable on these systems
*almost any day now*. But that was my thought last December, and I might
revisit this.

I have tried as hard as I can to publicize the problem; I know that it is
noted in the sticky xorg-x11 forum thread and on my d.g.o/~fmccor site.

Can't comment; don't use sound at all.

Same comment about publicity. Please review the xorg-x11 tracking bug
79467 at https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=79467,
get the patch, do what comment 6 says (except that it should now read
patch -p0 -b -z- < {path-to-xorg-x11-6.8.1.904-sparc.patch}
and rebuild xorg-x11. This will fix SDL problems for you.

I wouldn't upgrade. I would apply the patch and rebuild xorg for getting
SDL right. There is information around on sound support on U2, but I
don't have it. You might check #gentoo-sparc IRC or maybe the forums for
information.

Hope this helps,

Ferris

Heh. No, there is some kind of SMP lockup bug that may or may not be
SCSI related (but probably is, at least indirectly), but I've never been
able to reproduce it.

Hello All,

Below this message, please find my crashme.sh. This script is able to
crash several of my sparc boxes, plus many other people's sparc boxes,
when they are running under 2.6. The common thread seems to be SMP + SCSI,
but I won't put money on either part.

This script doesn't do anything amazing. It copies /usr/portage
into /var/tmp/crash/portage, tars up /var/tmp/crash/portage, removes
/var/tmp/crash/portage, untars the portage tarfile we just made, then
rm -r's /var/tmp/crash/portage and the tar file again.

My E450 (4x400)can run it indefinately. Any of my Netra 1405s(4x440) crash
within 10 iterations. Anyone who runs it, I'd like to hear your results.

Josh

is there any way to get on the sparc@gentoo.org list or any other
way to get all mails from bugzilla that are sparc dependent?

this would help a lot concerning "publicity of bug activity" IMHO

(searching bugzilla and adding myself to every sparc specific bug
is a bit of overkill in this situation, but I would like to be
informed of this activities)

You can 'watch' sparc@gentoo.org's bugzilla entries. The alias itself is
private, it can't be subscribed to by non developers.

sparc@gentoo.org is just an alias for SPARC developers at the moment. In
time, we're looking to do a testing setup similar to the AMD64 team[1].

For now though, you can make a saved query that shows all bugs assigned or
CC'd to sparc@gentoo.org to keep track of SPARC bugs.

it has been rebooted but only do to my lack of skill as a linux admin. if
i did not reboot i am sure that uptime would be just over a year.
if i didnt need to reboot because of me doing software updates and
such(new mail server among others)
i know that stuff can be done with out reboots but that goes back to my
lack of skill
this is an E450 smp scsi, but i am not about to run Josh's script on it
though, sorry Josh, but this server runs web, dns, mail plus some other
stuff for multiple domains.
