Does anyone have a working Enterprise 450 out there?
I can't get a working kernel going. I had to strip it way down just to get it under the 3.6 mb limit. then i couldnt get it to compile after trying different combos i go from either a kernel that wont even compile or one that wont boot.
does anyone have a kernel config i could use as a guidline?
my machine:
Sun Enterprise 450 -- 2 processor -- SCSI w/12 9gb drives cdrom and tape.
so i am looking for an SMP, SCSI setup. i have seen a couple menuconfig files ou there but they were single processers and ide
thank for any help

I think xming has. You find him here on the forum or in #gentoo-sparc on irc.freenode.net.

Ask and ye shall receive...
I have an E450 at work with 4 x 400MHz cpus, scsi disks, etc.
You could try my 2.4.22 config or if you're feeling adventurous, you could try my 2.6.0 config. You'll need to "emerge gcc-sparc64 to be able to compile 2.6.0.
I can pretty much guarantee you'll find some odd things in both configs - I've got transparent bridging enabled, for instance (but bridge-utils won't work...), and various audio devices (because I wasn't sure if I had any). One day maybe I'll hack out the stuff I don't need, but it's all modules anyway, so that shouldn't be a problem.
One thing I don't have in there is any kind of framebuffer, mainly because there isn't one in my system. I'm using serial console for booting and ssh once it's up. |
