 Posted: Fri Jul 18, 2003 9:43 pm Post subject: Silo: no serial device found |
 |
|
I just did an install on a sunblade 1000. After completing the install I reboot to get the following:
| Code: |
{0} ok boot
Boot device: /pci@8,600000/SUNW,qlc@4/fp@0,0/disk@w2100002037f8b70a,0:a File an
d args:
SILO boot:
No serial devices found, bailing out.
Program terminated
{0} ok
|
Silo closes out before I even get a chance to load an image.
Here is the partitions:
/dev/sda1 -> /boot
/dev/sda2 -> swap
/dev/sda3 -> /
/dev/sda4 -> /tmp
/dev/sda5 -> /var/tmp
/dev/sda6 -> /home
The silo.conf looks like this:
| Code: |
partition = 1
root = /dev/sda3
timeout = 15
image = /boot/vmlinux
label = linux
|
Anyone have a clue? If you need more info let me know. |

| Talking to one of the guys from the silo mailling list, I've found out that it isn't a silo problem. Instead it is a kernel problem. I'm getting ready to recompile and look for options to change. Anyone have an idea what might cause the kernel to return the "No serial devices found" message? |

Well the first thing that comes to mind is lack of serial support all together. I'd confirm you have support in your config. If it is in your config, I'd double check that the serial device doesn't need a special kernel module.
The lspci command from the pciutils package may be helpful to find what kind of serial device is in the Blade 1000. |

| Thanks. I actually fixed it the day of the last post and forgot to leave another post. Was a option I put in as a module that needed to be compiled in. Forget what it was at the moment. |

| I want to say that it is the siemens serial support under 'misc linux/sparc drivers'. I compiled it in as a module the first time round when I got the error. I'm not 100% sure, but pretty close. I've got another sunblade 1000 I'm installing gentoo on today with the Sept05 Sparc64 cd. I'll find out if that wasn't the one when I get the error haha. |

Did you guys figure out the cause of this error? I'm staring at it now on a Sun Blade 1000.
Edit: Never mind, i figured it out. The serial support in the Misc drivers section has to be build into the kernel, not as a module.

Thanks gust4voz,
But how can I install 2.6 kernel when I can't find 2.6 sources to install (I did # emerge --sync)?
| Code: |
# USE="-doc symlink" emerge -s vanilla-sources
Searching...
[ Results for search key : vanilla-sources ]
[ Applications found : 1 ]
* sys-kernel/vanilla-sources
Latest version available: 2.4.32
Latest version installed: [ Not Installed ]

I'd recommend gentoo-sources to begin with.
Also 2.6 is considered experimental for sparc yet, even though it works mostly fine for blade 1000/2000 (except for bbc_i2c which controls the thermals).
So you'd need to switch to the 2.6 profile (2006.0 instead of 2006.0/2.4) and package.keywords gentoo-sources (or vanilla-sources if you prefer so).
Remember to emerge udev too and unmerge devfsd.
For the latest toys, upgrade linux-headers and then re-emerge glibc.
That should be it.

Hi gust4voz,
Thanks for your reply.
I've already added sys-kernel/mm-sources to the package.keywords and compiled the kernel with your .config file:
# cat /etc/portage/package.keywords
=sys-kernel/mm-sources-2.6.17_rc3-r1 ~x86
Now I have some questions:
1) What are my step exactly to switch to the 2.6 profile? (I've installed the system from the latest official LiveCD for Sparc) , and actually I'm now (compiling kernel) at chrooted environment of the LiveCD.
I don't have 2.6 profile.
| Code: |
# ls -l /usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/sparc/sparc64/2006.0/
total 32
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 May 8 14:36 2.4
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 160 Feb 9 17:35 README
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 692 Mar 14 17:36 make.defaults
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3896 May 8 14:36 package.mask
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 660 Dec 1 14:36 packages
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3 Dec 2 23:06 parent
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 368 May 8 13:06 use.mask
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 322 Jan 19 14:06 virtuals
|
So where could I find 2.6 profile that supports 2.6 kernel and put it in /usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/sparc/sparc64/2006.0/2.6 directory, or should I replace the whole /usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/sparc/sparc64/2006.0/ directory?
2) How to upgrade linux-headers?
3) Any other tips, may be conserning silo configuration and module installation?
4) What modules you would advice to enter to /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6?
What about:
| Code: |
/lib/modules/2.6.17-rc3-mm1/kernel/fs/openpromfs/openpromfs.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.17-rc3-mm1/kernel/drivers/cdrom/cdrom.ko

5) Also, I've tryed to emerge udev:
I did # echo "sys-fs/udev" >> /etc/portage/package.unmask
And now:
# emerge -pv udev
These are the packages that I would merge, in order:
Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild N ] sys-apps/hotplug-base-20040401 0 kB
[ebuild N ] sys-fs/udev-087 (-selinux) 185 kB
Total size of downloads: 185 kB
So it seems OK. |

2006.0 IS the 2.6 profile, don't go package.unmasking stuff around if you've got the wrong profile - you'll only have trouble and miss the good stuff. If you check /etc/make.profile you'll see it's pointing at 2006.0/2.4.
You'll just need to package.keywords a kernel once you're in the right profile - nothing more.
Also don't use the latest & greatest vanilla-sources - it may not be so great, check the hardware compatibility list or stick with the latest ~sparc gentoo-sources.
After switching to the 2.6 profile emerge linux-headers glibc to "upgrade".
The silo configuration is the same.

Hi,
This is where /etc/make.profile pointing to:
| Code: | # ls -l /etc/make.profile
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 62 May 8 11:59 /etc/make.profile -> ../usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/sparc/sparc64/2006.0/2.4 |
So you're saying that it is 2.6 profile and I'm set  , right?
Actually I see that the version of Latest version available and Latest version installed for linux-headers is the same one - 2.4.26-r1!
Is it OK for 2.6 profile?
| Code: | (chroot) livecd etc # emerge -s linux-headers
Searching...
[ Results for search key : linux-headers ]

Now I'm upgrading to sys-libs/glibc of version 2.3.6-r3 instead of installed 2.3.5-r3.
But what about linux-headers? Shouldn't they be something like sys-kernel/linux-headers-2.6.X ? |

Hello,
I've managed to install 2.6.17-rc3-mm1 kernel on my SunFire 280R and it seems OK.
The problem I have is then I boot this machine I get some "Buffer I/O error on device sdX....." errors.
Below is snap from dmesg command:

See my kernel config based on the one that gust4voz sent here http://leah.haifa.ac.il/~leon/.config-linux-2.6.17-rc3-mm1-280r.txt
What is the problem here?
May be some kernel configuration or I should install some additional software (like hal....)? |
