 Posted: Sun Mar 26, 2006 8:19 pm Post subject: Remapping, Registering, Booting ... Dead |
 |
|
Hi all ...
I just installed Gentoo on a Blade 2000 (Dual UltrasparcIII, 8GB RAM). At first, I ran into this bug. After removing 4GB of memory, the installation itself was smooth as usual. But now, after the first reboot, I'm stuck.
There is either:
| Code: | | The file just loaded does not appear to be executable |
but this may be bypassed by boot disk0:1 (see this thread), or, after selecting the newly created kernel image (vanilla-sources-2.6.16):
| Code: | Remapping Kernel... done.
Registering callback... done.
Booting linux... |
And that's it. It's dead. There's no way back to life but the Power-button.
Errr ...
Scratch the last sentence. There's no life at all! I can't boot the installation CD anymore, an error within the SCSI subsystem occured, the CD can't be found ... oh bugger!
Any help???
Edit: after re-booting several times, I eventually got back to the installtion root prompt. I'll now try to install a 2.4.x kernel. Going to post partition table and silo.conf as soon as I have them available ...
Bugger, let's hope I didn't fuck this one up ... |

Here they are:
Partition table (according to the manual):
| Code: | $> fdisk /dev/sda
Disk /dev/sda (Sun disk label): 24 heads, 424 sectors, 14087 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 10176 * 512 bytes
Device Flag Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 u 0 384 1953792 83 Linux native
/dev/sda2 u 384 3455 15625248 82 Linux swap
/dev/sda3 3455 14087 54095616 5 Whole disk
/dev/sda4 3455 7294 19532832 83 Linux native
/dev/sda5 7294 7678 1953792 83 Linux native
/dev/sda6 7678 14087 32608992 83 Linux native |
| Code: | $> cat /etc/fstab
/dev/sda1 / ext3 noatime 0 1
/dev/sda2 none swap sw 0 0
/dev/sda4 /usr ext3 noatime 0 0
/dev/sda5 /var ext3 noatime 0 0
/dev/cdroms/cdrom0 /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,ro 0 0
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
shm /dev/shm tmpfs nodev,nosuid,noexec 0 0 |
For good measure:
| Code: | $> cat /etc/silo.conf
partition = 1
root = /dev/sda1
timeout = 100
image = /boot/vmlinux-2.6.16-1
label = gentoo-2.6.16 |
Some versions:
| Code: | $> silo -V
SILO version 1.4.10
$> gcc --version
gcc (GCC) 3.4.5 (Gentoo 3.4.5, ssp-3.4.5-1.0, pie-8.7.9)
$> emerge --search vanilla-sources
Searching...
[ Results for search key : vanilla-sources ]
[ Applications found : 1 ]
* sys-kernel/vanilla-sources
Latest version available: 2.6.16
Latest version installed: 2.6.16 |
I would appreciate if anyone could comment on this ... |

Update: after replacing module-init-tools by modutils, and adding hotplug as well as coldplug to the default runlevel, I am able to boot the 2.4.32 genkernel which is shipped with the installation CD from disk. It is to assume that I botched the my home brewn vanilla kernel-2.6.16 and removed necessary stuff.
Any chance someone has the .config for sparc64-install-genkernel-2.4.32 oder a working vanilla-2.6.1x .config for SUN Blade 1000/2000?? |

Another Update: I managed to boot gentoo-sources-2.6.15-r7 ...
Bugger! What's the difference?  |

| My first guess would be something related to the framebuffer. I have some older 2.6.x configs for a Blade 1000 that should work fairly well for your 2000 (since they are virtually identitcal machines). You can find them here. |
