 Posted: Mon Aug 20, 2007 1:14 pm Post subject: 2.6 kernel version of the tftpboot image ? |
 |
|
In the past I've installed a couple of Netra's using the 200x.x live CD's, but my 'new' netra does not have a cdrom drive, so I attempted to install it via the available tftpboot image.
The machine boots fine from tftp server, but it fails to chroot into the 'stage2-sparc64-2007.0.tar.bz2':
| Code: |
chroot /mnt/gentoo /bin/bash
FATAL: kernel too old
Unimplemented SPARC system call 188
|
It seems the 2007.0 release will only run on a 2.6 kernel.
Another issue with the tftpboot image is that it uses a busybox version with a resolv bug(or so it seems): wget'ing a stage tarbal from a mirror will connect to:
| Code: |
http://[ip_address_of_mirror_host]/path/to/stage/
|
Instead of:
| Code: |
http://[hostname_of_mirror_host]/path/to/stage/
|
Are there any plans on releasing a kernel 2.6 based tftpboot image ?

The modules for disk support are not included in the mentioned boot image, and it seems includes the same busybox wget as the gentoo installer:
wget refuses to fetch data via hostnames, and uses the ip address of the host instead:
| Code: |
wget http://www.google.nl/index.html
|
Results in:
Back to the drawing board

Remapping the kernel... done.

My Netra X1 booted it no problems but unfortunately it didn't seem to have the required network card drivers (tulip) and I couldn't get any further with it. I eventually netbooted using the Ubuntu 7.04 image to install Gentoo with. Now my only problem is getting it to actually boot the Gentoo install as it sticks at the loading kernel message now

Can I install Gentoo on my Netra 120 (SunFire V120) whithout CD-ROM and videocard?
I'm have the 2007.0 distro on CD and I was made a copy this to notebook-HDD whith small IDE-connctor (this hdd I connect to motherboard instead CD-ROM and it work fine). I'm try to boot with tftpboot image available on http://dev.gentoo.org/~agaffney/sparc/misc/ but this image not work as pyrotek describe.
Can I make a following thing?:
1. boot from some tftpboot image
2. mount the notebook-HDD to some directory
3. Install Gentoo from this directory
