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