Hi,
Has somebody knowledge about some kernel module for gentoo sparc to support QGE Cards ??
There's one on x86 (cassini, http://www.sun.com/download/products.xml?id=4140b67e)

It's been included in the 2.6.14 development branch upstream.
But 2.6 is a mixed bag on how it works on SPARC kit depending on which machine you have. _________________ Gustavo Zacarias

I have V240
I ran sucessfully 2.4.31 and 2.6.13 so probably 2.6.14 wont be a problem :]
I hope you r right and it will start workin'
I will start compiling 2.6.14 tomorrow and I will write asap =] |

The V240 uses the tg3 driver, it doesn't need cassini.
And last time we successfully booted a 2.6 kernel on one it was extremely unstable.
2.4 kernels work better, though they're not rock-solid stable either, and you'll see less memory when using both memory controllers on SMP-enabled models (move all the memory to just one processor to fix this).
It'll be fixed at some point by upstream (David Miller) when he gets his hands on one for some time. _________________ Gustavo Zacarias

I got 8GB so loss of 600MB is not a problem
Yes my quad on board with TG3 works fine but I got 2 more quads QGE PCI and that's the matter.
I didn't have ability to work on that yesterday so I start just now...

that just leaves one question... why on earth do you need 12 gigabit interfaces in one machine ? _________________ Toady

Chuck,
Is your V240 a single or dual proc box? I've got a dualie that won't make it to userlane in 2.6 Can you email me your config? squash@g.o please.
Thanks!

Squash:
Yes my Fire is dual proc and 8x1GB RAM
No problem, I will send u in a minute :] <<<<< I think u misspelled your e-mail address...://
Toady:
Why gigabit ? Cose investing in 10/100 has no future...
Why 12 ? Cose I need that machine as ourmon probe which can monitor many segments of my network :]

Damn, that's so resistant material ^^
It ended now in putting quads to Dell PowerEdge 2600 and configure cassini on Debian :]
I will use my V240 to make backend...

Sorry for digging up such an old post, but has anyone had any luck with these boards? I have a QGE UTP (FRU 501-6522) that I am having a hard time getting to work. I am guessing the answer will be that they don't, but it is worth a shot.

Hello ;]
Heh, reading that topic moved me to that past times... hyhyhy that was fun...
I never used these cards, the only suggestion which I got in mind is to go into kernel config and look in the possibilities carefully (I dun have kernel right now before my eyez).
Good Luck |
