Hi,

have tested the tftpboot image on my Sun Serverblade1 (UltraSPARC-IIe 650MHz) , boots fine but i have no network card.
It is one of the new "ce" gigabit ehternet cards. After i found the tftp devel script i build my own kernel and activated all 1000 Network cards, but again i have no eth0.

Any ideas what kind of chip this is?

here is the bootscreen
Code:

Sun Serverblade1 (UltraSPARC-IIe 650MHz), No Keyboard
Copyright 1998-2003 Sun Microsystems, Inc.  All rights reserved.
OpenBoot 4.11.3, 1024 MB memory installed, Serial #528XXXXX.
Ethernet address 0:3:ba:4d:5:c, Host ID: 8326XXXX.


and this is lspci from the nics with some options:
Code:

00:0a.0 Class 0200: 108e:abba (rev 20)
        Flags: bus master, 66Mhz, slow devsel, latency 64, IRQ 008724c0

Hi,

the CE aka GigaSwift ethernet is just a Broadcom 5401 chip. I tried very briefly to hack the GEM driver under 2.4 to support this card without any luck. 2.6 has better support for this chipset I believe, if I have time this week I'll take a look at it and see if I can create some sort of a patch.
