Hello!

I have a problem with the Gentoo install (sparc64 -> 2005.0/).
I tried to install it on the SunFire 280R (with ultrasparcIII+ proc) hw, but it didn't work.

Can You help me?
Thanks,
Jani

as far as I know, the ultrasparc 3 CPU is still "unsupported" with linux .. ive got a sunblade 1000 which id love to put gentoo on, but previous attempts got me simmilar errors as the one you reported.

Hello!

I think your answer is not correct, because I have another SunFire, with Ultrasparc-III proc (not Ultrasparc-III+ !!!!), and you can see, that its works fine. May be, that only ultrasparc 3+ CPU is still "unsupported" with linux?

Best regards,
Jani

The target "gentoo-2.4" will start a uniprocessor kernel, "gentoo-2.4-smp"
will start a multiprocessor one. Both can be used to install a new system or

If you have a Sun Blade 100 or 150 system, add the "ide=nodma" parameter,

Welcome to the Gentoo Linux Universal Installation CD!

The root password on this system has been auto-scrambled for security.

If any ethernet adapters were detected at boot, they should be auto-configured
if DHCP is available on your network.

Type "net-setup eth0" to specify eth0 IP address settings by hand.

/etc/kernels/kernel-config* contains kernel configurations for this CD.

To start an ssh server on this system, type "/etc/init.d/sshd start". If you
need to log in remotely as root, type "passwd root" to reset root's password
to a known value.

View installation instructions by typing "links /mnt/cdrom/docs/handbook/html/index.html"
or "links http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook.xml"
for the latest version from the gentoo.org web site.

Please report any bugs you find to https://bugs.gentoo.org. Be sure to include
detailed information about how to reproduce the bug you are reporting.
Thank you for using Gentoo Linux!

Stage tarball(s), distfiles and packages can be found in /mnt/cdrom/.

Well, even though you have have it working on one box, doesn't really mean you will be able to make it work on both.

By looking at the boot up list you have provided from both boxes, there are some pretty significant hardware differences between the 2.

For instance the one that works is a single CPU box, and your box that fails to boot is a Dual CPU. Did you take this into consideration when you compiles the kernel? Did you set your USE flags to accomodate for this as well?

Also from the error report, it looks like it dies right after it fires up the SCSI controller. Make sure you have the correct controller compiled in the kernel. Maybe it is possible that the 2 boxes have different controllers?

I realize they have close to the same type of CPU, but those boxes are significantly different.

Helloo!

I tried to boot Gentoo with single processor (I removed one of them /cpu1/), but nothing changed.
I tried to boot Gentoo live cd with USE flag:
gentto-2.4-smp USE=smp , but this boot option did not help either :( (do you know other flags?).
The SCSI controller in both configurations is Qlogic ISP2200A.

Regards,
Jani

There's no such thing as Ultrasparc III+. I guess you probably mean Ultrasparc III cu (the ones fabbed in smaller geometry).
Basically it should work, though none of the devels i know of have the IIIcu processors.
Weeve has a Blade 1000 with dual 750's, but those aren't Cu.
OTOH Ultrasparc IIIi's have some issues yet, specially on SMP systems like V240s.
Ultrasparc IV's are untested, reports welcome.
Check the OBP version on both machines, you may hit some jackpot around there...

Hi!

You are right, my SUN is Ultrasparc III cu.
I checked the OBP:
The good machine (single CPU, Ultrasparc III /it is not "cu" processor!/):
ok .version
Release 4.2 Version 4 created 2001/06/13 10:10
OBP 4.2.4 2001/06/13 10:10
POST 4.2.4 2001/06/13 04:12
OBDIAG 5.0.0 2001/06/13 10:12

The bad machine (with dual, Ultrasparc III cu processors):
{0} ok .version
Release 4.5 Version 10 created 2002/02/11 10:39
OBP 4.5.10 2002/02/11 10:39
POST 4.5.9 2002/02/05 21:25


Thanks,
Jani

The latest changes in Sun's support didn't make our lives easier with their new "have a contract or you're mostly doomed" policy on information.
But firmware upgrade patches can still be found with some clever looking around.
The latest Blade 1000/2000 / Fire 280R firmware is "Unbundled Release: OBP 4.16.4,POST 4.16.3,OBDIAG 4.16.4" from patch ID 118323-01.
I suggest you try that, only in the blade 1000 that's not being helpful.
Note that i'm not responsible for anything you do or break with it, you're on your own, read the notes carefully, make sure you understand everything, how it works, and so on.... "IT MAY EAT YOUR MACHINE".
If you are the least bit resourceful you know where to look for and download that firmware with the ID i provided, if you're not you probably shouldn't try upgrading it.
Good luck.

Hello!

I patched the Sun, but nothing changed.
bash-2.03# prtconf -V
OBP 4.16.4 2004/12/18 05:18


I installed a Gentoo on the another (single processor) machine, and I made a kernel with dual processor support.
I put this disk in the dual processors SUNFire, and I tried boot the system (with the new kernel). Unfortunately the output is the same as with the CD boot version (ERROR(1): Highest priority error (0000080000000000) "Bus error response from system bus" ).
Any other idea?

Best Regards,
Jani

Hello!

I have an installed Sun Solaris 8 on this hardware.
Can I send any trace or something (that might help)?

Thanks,

There's not much you can do from solaris to help debug.
Can you give my latest experimental livecd a spin?
http://dev.gentoo.org/~gustavoz/sparc/experimental/
Just because it's got a 2.4.30 kernel, to see if it helps in any way.
I doubt it'll do, but at least it's the latest and greatest before reporting the issues to the sparclinux mailing list.
Thanks.

FYI, I have a SunFire 280R with dual CPUs and 2005.0 works great for me. Never had a hiccup while installing. The box has been up and running for a month or so now. I thought I'd toss that out there.

Out of curiousity, do you have a frame buffer in there, or did you control the install through RSC? I ask because I literally just found 2 280R's in a closet during a departmental move, and my lab could really use these for running models.

Hello All,

I'm going to install Gentoo on my Sun Fire 280R (UltraSPARC-III+) connected to StorEdge D2 (rackmount).
When I boot from Live CD I can see my 2 disks and make: fdsisk /dev/sda, fdisk /dev/sdb.

The problem is that I cannot see the StoreEdge disk array (connected with SCSI cable) :(

What should I do to recognize and format it?

I believe it sits on one of the following:
# cat /proc/scsi/sym53c8xx/1
Chip sym53c875, device id 0xf, revision id 0x37
On PCI bus 0, device 6, function 0, IRQ 4,218
Min. period factor 12, Wide SCSI BUS
Max. started commands 1022, max. commands per LUN 64
#
# cat /proc/scsi/sym53c8xx/2
Chip sym53c875, device id 0xf, revision id 0x37
On PCI bus 0, device 6, function 1, IRQ 4,219
Min. period factor 12, Wide SCSI BUS
Max. started commands 1022, max. commands per LUN 64

#ls -l /dev
lr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 36 Apr 26 11:21 sg0 -> scsi/host0/bus0/target1/lun0/generic
lr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 36 Apr 26 11:21 sg1 -> scsi/host0/bus0/target2/lun0/generic
lr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 36 Apr 26 11:21 sg2 -> scsi/host1/bus0/target6/lun0/generic

I cannot do fdisk /dev/sg(0-2)

It just seem to freez and do nothing :(
