Hi All,
Has anyone successfully installed debian on a SunBlade 100? I've been
trying various netinst images:
http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/3.1_r0a/sparc/iso-cd/
debian-31r0a-sparc-netinst.iso
http://cdimage.debian.org/pub/cdimage-testing/daily/sparc/current/
debian-testing-sparc-netinst.iso
I never get to the debian installer itself. The stable complains of
"cramfs: wrong magic". The "current" pukes with "Remapping the
kernel... Fast Instruction Access MMU Miss".
I've been googling around, reading the documention, trying everything
I see other people doing. I've played with various boot params:
ramdisk_size=16000, mem=128m, etc. I've got a stack of Blades
collecting dust and I'm anxious to get them off Solaris. Any
thoughts?
It seems the current D-I for SPARC is broken for Sunblades. I had
exactly your problem on a Sunblade 150 64bits. Try to install it via
netboot with the image you can find here:

I tried the 2.6 one and it works. There are some issues regarding the
frame buffer (first char truncated). Actually I'm working on a kernel
customization in order to fix it. I hope it will work on your
sunblade as well.
