Package: kernel
Severity: critical
It is not possible to bring Gigaswift (aka Cassini) ethernet cards
online and therefore continue installation on SunFire V440
(UltraSparc IIIi) when I use boot.img placed in the following
directory of debian archives:
/debian/dists/sid/main/installer-sparc/current/images/sparc64/netboot/
2.6/
The installation fails during network detection process with the
following dump:
Apr 4 21:40:00 main-menu[2937]: DEBUG: configure ethernet-card-
detection, status: 0

The cards are recognized by the driver. Driver has explicitly
mentioned that MAC address are not set in some kind of firmware
memory (?)
Mentioned boot.img uses kernel 2.6.15-1, this bug was probably solved
in 2.6.16, so this is something to be checked and boot.img file is to
be updated.
UPDATE: 2.6.16 based installer ( from http://people.debian.org/
~stappers/d-i/images/daily/sparc64/netboot/2.6/ ) hangs during
detection as well.
I'm ready to test this problem again upon your request.
