You probably have an Expert3d-lite graphic card in your Blade 100. As
there is neither FrameBuffer support in the kernel nor X driver for this
card, you will have to remove it and use the built-in ATI Mach64.
If it does still not work try passing "ide=nodma" to the kernel (at SILO
prompt type "linux ide=nodma"). This is because some DVD drives on Blade
100 seem to dislike DMA mode.

Objet : Problems installing Debian on SunBlade100
Hello!

as tried tftp method (with various files from auric) but i can't get
past
Booting Linux
message there is simply nothing else printed on screen. I've searched
throu
ML archives but were unable to find any solution.
Could someone be so kind and help with this?
