Machine: SUN SparcStation 20 clone (WS-20L) Processor: SuperSparc II 70MHz Memory: 448 MB Partitions: Output of lspci and lspci -n: (System has only SBUS) Base System Installation Checklist: [O] = OK, [E] = Error (please elaborate below), [ ] = didn't try it Initial boot worked: [E] Configure network HW: [ ] Config network: [ ] Detect CD: [E] Load installer modules: [ ] Detect hard drives: [ ] Partition hard drives: [ ] Create file systems: [ ] Mount partitions: [ ] Install base system: [ ] Install boot loader: [ ] Reboot: [ ] Comments/Problems: Problem(1): I have the cg14 VSIMM installed and also a cg6 SBUS card (no monitor). After SILO loads the kernel, the displays goes away, the kernel probably uses the cg6 as primary. Work-around(1): Remove the cg6 card. Note: The kernel should choose the same framebuffer as the OBP does (Same problem exists on Sparc64 with a Creator3D and a PCI Video card.) Problem(2): Kernel esp module does not spin up drives Work-around(2): remove the drive Note: 2.4.26 spins up the drive without any problem. Problem(3): CD-ROM is detected but fails to mount. No work-around, esp driver is probably horribly broken. /dev/cdrom points to nowhere after manual mount attempt. Note: works without any problems in 2.4.26 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
