This week my old, SunFire UltraSparc IIe cluster had some majors hardware issues about of 3/6 went, and i had to rebuild a few of them, using very specific setup, that took me about 6 hours to get going.
I'll skip all the pain a suffering, but i used the 2007 universal CD, because that is the only liveCD that has a bootable kernel (2.6.17-r9) for these machines.
So basically everything eventually got updated and running but i am running into 2 issues:
1. kgcc64-4.1.1 is blocking kgcc64-4.1.2, even with multislot USE, i can't get this blocker to be resolved.
2. regardless the version of udev, the machines won't boot without UDEV set to log in INFO. I followed every ancient post regarding udev, and it doesn't seem help. It seems that the extraneous amounts of logging slows the process down enough for the machine to finish processing udev_seq's . I rebooted like 9 times in a row and it works everytime, if i turn udev back to default logging, it just stalls on waiting for udev to process uevents. Is this just one of things that should be chalked up to, "It works, don't jinx it" type situations?
These machines have been Good to me, had a 3.5 year uptime!!! They are 6 identical machines, including HD's memory, etc..
Any hints or suggestions would be great!

For .1, try unmerging kgcc64 and reemerging it.
For the second, no clue |
